Hi, all,

This question may sound a little silly but I was kinda wondering that after NVC schedules interview date at the US embassy, I just have to take a medical and show up the interview with medical result and other required document, right? Do I have to do anything specific before the interview or I just wait till the interview date and thats all?

Here is a list for the interview

Interview Docs

No matter how you have it they will organize it how they do it , in their office specific folders/case files, as for me, I put it in a Tri fold folder and bound it on top with a 2 hole punch and and had no problems with then about it

Expedite is only approved if there is a life/death emergency.

Not just in Life/Death emergency, the below link outlines the full list of situations you can request an expedite

Expedite Criteria

hi everyone. i have a question. when i did the AOS, i have a co-sponsor which is my older sister. NVC asked for proof of relationship (sibling) and i gave our only copy here which is the 2001 birth certificate civil registry version. do you think the consul will ask for the NSO copy in the interview? let me know and sorry for my english... thanks

your original NSO copy with all your original civil documents you sent to the NVC will be in your file they forward to the Embassy

What is the number for the military hotline? And, how long does it take to hear back, i heard 5 days but I have been waiting about 6 days now. I have called but they cant seem to give me much information.

I got some email from the people who run the application process not USCIS asking for me to fax some information to them. From there I faxed them the information and I got another email saying I have an RFE. Is it possible they found something missing when they looked at the file? And thus they are not going to move further till that RFE is sent in? will i know about the expedite request? How to find out this information. I hate being deployed for this process because I have to rely on internet only to be able to check a lot of stuff and they really are not helping at this point.

Military Help Line Number

Try using your LES it shows total YTD earnings, thats what I did for our I-864, no issues with that

do you think its a good idea if my husband will be in his army uniform on the day of our interview???

stateside yea its possible to a point but not considered on duty so unauthorized according to AR-670-1 (ARMY) or similar branch of the military

Given that Thailand to Florida is an incredibly long flight (more so when traveling with a 1-year-old), I was thinking it would be a good idea to stop off in Hawaii for a few days when my wife gets her visa before continuing on. This would give us a little break in the long flights and we can enjoy Hawaii for a bit. Also, we wouldn't have to worry about how long it would take to get through immigration in order to make a connecting flight. And then, when we fly from Hawaii to Florida, we won't have to go through immigration again.

Anyone see anything negative with doing it that way? Is it allowed?

yes its a USA POE and its allowed and Hawaii is one of the easiest and fastest POE you can do, considering all the tourists we have visit, here the average is around no more than 20-30 mins in and out

When i sent mine in I just filed the current years return so it wasn't in the system yet, so i sent in a copy of the filed return including all worksheets and schedules W2's and the previous 2 years transcripts along with the last 5-6 months paystubs, no problem with that for the NVC

I have sent all originals to NVC ?

I would suggest copies of NVC documents as well as copy of I-864 AOS, NBI and pictures together,

So just to make sure im reading correctly from the CFO website, She has to go to the Guidance and Counseling Sessions in CFO (12 Slots per day) and the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS) for Filipino Emigrants (70 slots per day) 2 different Seminars, or can she just go to the Pre-Departure Seminar once she have her Passport with Visa in Hand??? prior to her leaving to the USA? just want to make sure so less time spent in hotels waiting cause she from a different island, and a 7yo child will be along with her.

Thanks in Advance

Fill it out. Have the beneficiary sign it.. then have it emailed back to you, so u could send it to NVC. Your courier is more reliable than here in the Philippines Its best if you can send that form from there. Just to be sure that itll get to NVC quick

God Bless on ur visa journey!

Not Correct, Has to be an original Signature on it not a scanned emailed copy,so have her sign it then mail it back to the petitioner, I had her sign in Blue ink so no confusion over an original. You will get an RFE over it if they suspect it being a photocopy

Does anyone know if military service members can get K-1 cases expedited? Any info is appreciated?

Yes you can get a K1 expedited if you meet the Criteria, most get approved fast by deployment orders

Good day to all! I am a spouse of a US citizen, and had been petitioned for IR-130. But I am still here in Philippines. Everything were done already from the medical to the visa interview at the US embassy in Manila but I was given a blue paper after my interview. I'm lacking more papers from my husband. The consul asked for last 2 years of ITR of my husband. But unfortunately my husband wasn't able to send me those needed papers because at that time he was in Iraq working. My visa interview at the embassy was last January 12, 2010. So means it was 2years ago. Now my husband asked me to go to the US embassy in Manila to bring the documents ( ITR )that the consul asked from me. Now my question is: can I still be able to do that? I mean, will they still accept my documents? Can I still be given a visa? Or do we need to go through all the processing from the beginning again? Need your help thanks! God bless!

Yes I believe so, but someone correct me if im wrong since on the bottom of my invoices states

If a period of one year passes without communication to the NVC, all submitted fees and

documents expire and must be resubmitted to resume the immigration process.

so you should be able to just Redo the NVC process and continue from there, but i would call the embassy and find out for sure, maybe they have a similar timeline as well

IvyandDan,

I do not directly know but I have seen this information at a website and I will try not to break any rules here, yet get you some information. See: wwwdotlivingincebudotcom there is a Military Section and Many retire military on the website too. Hope this is better than nothing . Mr Pangga still in the Service 8,000 miles from the RP.

try this, maybe you can try calling

I have a few areas on this form to double-check before my wife sends it to me.

Part 1

#19-25 - Does she put my family info (Petitioner) or her family info (Beneficiary)?

#31a. - I will accompany her back to Hawaii when her VISA is ready, So she enters my name, correct?

#31b. - No one else but Me & Her will fly back to Hawaii, So she enters "N/A", correct. (fyi - my name is in line #14, "N/A" is in line #29)

Part 2

#40 A-L , - All should be checked "No", correct?

Majority of everything on this form relates to the Beneficiary unless stated,

19-25 (Beneficiary Info)

31a - if filing for more that one applicant such as myself my wife(CR-1) and her 7 year old daughter (CR-2) so we put her Daughter there.

31b - we put NONE cause her daughter will be traveling with her, not at a later date

Part 2 #40 A-L - That is if anything relates to you in those statements but for US we put no on all of them

If the wife will bring this into court how much would be the possible money to support the wife (they have no kids)? and how long would be the ruling in this matter into court?

Thank You and Godbless Us All

Taken from the Instructions of the Form I-864

How Long Does My Obligation as a Sponsor Continue?

Your obligation to support the immigrant(s) you are sponsoring in this affidavit of support will continue until the sponsored immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, or can be credited with 40 qualifying quarters of work in the United States.

Although 40 qualifying quarters of work (credits) generally equate to ten years of work, in certain cases the work of a spouse or parent adds qualifying quarters. The Social Security Administration can provide information on how to count qualifying quarters (credits) of work.

The obligation also ends if you or the sponsored immigrant dies or if the sponsored immigrant ceases to be a lawful permanent resident and departs the United States. Divorce does not end the sponsorship obligation.

you could always try to expedite your case HERE, its a 50/50 chance, but if you have supporting Documentation to support your request wouldn't hurt to try

Grats and Good luck on the next steps
