hey everyone, I got my NOA2 a week or two ago and I was wondering if the National visa center will send me something saying that they forwarded my case to the embassy. Do they send you something with a new case number on it? I was wondering because I have to tell my SO when he should begin going to the post office and checking for mail.

THANKS!!

yes, they will sent you the noa2 with the new case number on it...and that will be your case number in the whole processing........

Hi people, I was just wondering. What is a NBI clearance because since my wife is also in Philippines, it might concern us too. Thanks!

hello! she need NBI clearance to proof if she dont have a criminal records!

hi fellow filipinas!

i need help, im so worried i haven't received my visa yet... it's been a week already! i was interviewed on jan 8 and those that i made friends during the interview have already gotten their visas except mine. i called delbros and they said the embassy haven't released my visa yet. im freaking out and scared, what could probably be the problem. my interview went well the consul even congratulated me but i wonder how come my visa is still in process at the embassy, did anyone here gone through the same predicament got their's past the a week, need help! pls.! salamat po!

[/qu

IT TAKE ALMOST 3 WEEKS BEFORE MY COUSIN RECIEVED HER VISA.....DONT WORRY YOU WILL RECIEVED YOUR VISA SOON..JUST ALWAYS KEEP IN TOUCH IN DELBROS...

hope this isnt a stupid question. but i have been looking for this answer and have had no luck yet, maybe i just havent looked in the right forum...

anyway, my question is this : lets say my fiancee's K1 visa is approved. she comes to the US and we get married within the 90 days, now does the 90 days just mean we have to get married in that timetable, or does it mean thats all the time she has to stay in the US regardless if we get married or not.

because if we do get married, and then file for the AOS and that may take months, can she stay now that we are married or leave back to her country right when the 90 days are up...

thanks for all your help here, damn what a great site ....

NO, she got 90 days to marry you upon her arrival to the usa...but if you was not able to get married your fiancee after 90 days she will be deported.......

there is nothing to worry if you did marry her already..all you do is appy for AOS and get her green card...be with her forever......

OMG! Earlier today I checked the USCIS site for our petition status. I finally saw a touch. Then, later this evening I checked my e-mail and got the NOA2 approval. Seems like CSC is really moving on the March folks. I'm SO happy right now. Just called my fiancee and she's also elated! Thanks to all. Good luck to everyone here with their petitions as well!

congratulations.....and goodluck to your journey

What's in the packet 3 for Manila? Is ther a Packet 4? Are there any fees that need to be paid at interview or after?

Hi! There is no such thing as Packet 3 in Manila Consulate. Some applicants might recieve pre-appointment letter from USE (often mistaken as Packet 3) while others don't. In my case, all I got was Packet 4 - the appointment letter, DS-FORMS, instruction - which was delivered a month before my interview. You will have to pay $100 for the visa before the interview and another fee for the delivery of the visa once approved...

Good luck!

Mae

yes she is right...but dont forget to bring your DS-156 0R DS-157 IN THE BANK..THEY WILL VALIDATE your visa application payment into that form....

Hey everyone !

I am new here and i am starting to gather up my documents needed for the interview. In Manila Interview is a POLICE CLEARANCE needed during the interview? Thank you guys! God Bless !

Riza

you just need the police clearance if you been working in other country or if you stay in other country longer than 6 months...in my case i did get local police clearance but i just wasting my money they dont even ask for it..

hello everyone! i have urgent question.. beside the td shots fee. DID YOU PAY FOR YOUR PROVIDER? OR THE DOCTOR? FOR INS FORM I-693A? BECAUSE THE CLINIC ASKING ME 85 DOLLARS FOR PAYMENT FOR THAT FORM.. PLS HELP...

there is no charge for the form. you are being charged for the civil surgeon entering your vaccination records on the form. you can try calling other civil surgeons to see if they charge a lower fee.

thank you roy and yazi...... i thought you would only pay for the td shots....thanks for the info!

hello everyone! i have urgent question.. beside the td shots fee. DID YOU PAY FOR YOUR PROVIDER? OR THE DOCTOR? FOR INS FORM I-693A? BECAUSE THE CLINIC ASKING ME 85 DOLLARS FOR PAYMENT FOR THAT FORM.. PLS HELP...

make sure you marry within 90 days of your entrance on K-1

yes were married already..but we are still waiting for our marriege certificate.... thank you guys ...thanks for all your reply...

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU WAS NOT ABLE TO FILE YOUR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS AND YOUR K-1 EXPIRE ALREADY? YOU WILL BE DEPORTED? WHAT WILL HAPPEN? THANKS I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR REPLY

You need to get the shots you need.... then take that info about your shots that you got at the time of your medical and the new info about the TD shot to a Civil Surgeon from the USCIS list and get it copied on the form I-693A that form should be in a sealed envelope and that is what you include with your AOS packet.....
