Talk to Ann at G.A.M legal she really knows her stuff and is also Filipino.  We used G.A.M in Bangkok for packet 2 and 3 and they were awesome !

She had the interview and it went great ..we should have the visa in a week !!!

I read somewhere here in the forum that they had to install google chrome, that fixed the problem. You may try

Ok thank you .. I will inform her to try chrome.

My lawyer in Bangkok said that the online form DS-160 keeps kicking her out ( the website ) she said she will continue to try tomorrow.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks - Andrew

Select immigrant visa. 

Make sure the number it’s correct. 

Ok thanks maybe I was typing the number wrong .. this time I got this

I called NVC just now and got our case number and invoice number.  When I try to put it into https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx it says "your search did not return any data"  Am I doing something wrong or could it just not be in this system yet?

Thanks - Andrew

Wow! I had heard about all this kind of stuff, which is why I just went ahead and paid my lawyer who has a "contact" down at police headquarters in Bangkok 5000 baht.. no receipt mind you, had the police certificate in hand in 4 days. Pretty shady but good job on following your gut!

I thought I would smile so big when I saw this .. but instead it was a tear that rolled out of my eye.  I was very discouraged and then it happened .. I was going to check my app to see how many days it’s been and to my shock it says “Updated as of Sept 4 .. 4 alerts “ I clicked and it was an approval! I checked the old site to confirm .. then 3 minutes later the email came.  Wow praise God! Noa 1 Feb 14.

I wanted to add that I was notified via text, email and OLD site was updated. The new site was not and still is not updated at all.

No, he needs to send it via mail. They want a wet signature.

 

I dont really know how much time you have to respond, but thats what the instructions say: wet signature.

 

Also if you need it faster than you gotta pay extra for fast delivery

It’s not required .. this is from a previous post where they talked at length.. the onlybwet signature you need is on the petition.

”

A wet signature for the letter of intent to marry from the beneficiary hasn't been required for a couple years now. You cannot use a digital signature, but a scanned version should be fine.

The letter of intent to marry is considered supporting evidence.

In the past, it might result in an RFE, but they aren't doing this anymore. Even the I-130 no longer requires the beneficiary's signature anymore (if outside the US).

I keep in mind that there are others from past months that are still waiting. It's hard for me to complain when they r so many from past months. 

Your demeanor and attitude helps keep me from going crazy!!  Even though we both want so badly to be together, we have to keep everything in perspective!!

This is not fully correct
To the extent beneficiary has never been to the US/is well known/travels a lot, it's kind of impossible to do background check on them - hence the need for police reports from the beneficiary of everywhere they have lived since age 16.
The police reports are equivalent to the petitioner background check in the US

This makes more sense.  And the police report doesn't come into play until packet 3 correct?  So it would have nothing to do with NOA2.

What are you talking about?.. how you met stories and tinder terms of service?  I see nothing in the i129-f instructions about how you met.  Am I missing something?

I see one of the couples I'm following ...got NOA1 Dec 29 got NOA2 on June 29

GUYS IT'S ALMOST JUNE SDLFKJSDFKJSDF  

Also - Since February, how often have you seen your fiancé?

 

Leaving on Thursday to go for 20 days and then I have a flight scheduled for Aug 1 and staying for 8 days. I hope and pray the next flight I take after that is October or November to get her!

I have been told that it would be prudent to get my Thai fiance her certificate of being single ( and get it certifiably translated ) birth certificate ( again translated by a certified translator ) and the police report ( which is supposedly already in English ).  This is to save time when they actually request this stuff, what is everyone's thoughts?

Thanks!  Andrew

Do you need a police report even if neither of you have ever had any arrests or citations?  Why would we be getting one now ( February filers ) even if we do need one for the interview?

Was this updated today, does anyone know?  It says they are working on Oct 17, 2018 and the range is 5-7 months

No chat logs, only what was requested ( proof of visit, visa stamps, photos etc.. )
