Mark & Angelina

Congrats on the approval!    
 
I have not heard of anyone being asked for the eligibility letter at the interview (it is not listed as a required document on the Checklist) .. just a couple that had issues because they scheduled their appts. too soon.

Ok. so after all that.. She flipped out 3 days before the interview.. all scared thinking she wasnt gonna be admitted. I already in past contacted my senator Cortez in Nevada asking for help, in which they helped me get our RFE, and then they helped us get our NOA2 after we sent the response for the  RFE. The senators office sent the Embassy of Manila a expedite email asking them to rush the letter of Eligibility. We received the email on October 10th, 1 day after the US Embassy of Manila got the case number from the NVC. Her interview was set already for October 12th. So she was real confident she had everything... NBI, Cenomar, Parent Consent, CFO, I134, pay stubs, 2017 ITR, pictures, Letter of intent from both of us, The DS160 Confirmation with barcode, The appt letter with bar code, Medical from SLEC, Her passport, Passport pictures, chat logs, video logs.. etc you name it we brought what ever can think of..Even the letter of Eligibility.
So her appt was for 6:40am Friday. she said she arrived about 5:00 to 5:10.. She said when the guard and the embassy official scanned her barcodes that they never asked for the letter of eligibility.. In fact they didnt even want it..... All that anxiety.. All the members in her groups chats.. she even said many of them rescheduled their appts.. All was not necessary.. 
 
It just goes to prove that there is much gossip in these groups and you can not rely on what she told him, then what him to her..etc.. I am true believer i never agree with 3rd person gossip.. it has to come from the person it happened to.. I hope this post helps someone...
 
Oh btw, she Got her Visa Approved..YAY...

Fiance just completed interview this morning, Manila time.  We scheduled interview on 9/25 for 10/11, being pretty confident that NVC would send to the embassy on 10/2.  Medical was completed 10/3 and 10/4.  We still did not receive email with P3 instructions and eligibility letter as of today, but she and the kids were still able to conduct the interview.  Did not ask for the letter.  Decision was an approval (finally).  
 
One note on the interview.  CO asked her a question related to her previous applications for a tourist visa (specifically the first application of which both requests were denied).  I found that odd, since I have not seen anyone else relate such a question around in the forums.  I'm guessing they were looking for consistency and truthfulness in those interviews and how she responded today.  Nonetheless, her answer seemed to satisfy the CO.

Yeah that would be the appointment letter not a "letter of eligibility". This is nothing new at all so don't worry. 
 
What you are hearing first is gossip and it is VERY COMMON in the Philippines. It's always something like "I heard about this going on from my brother's sister 's friend". This is very common with Filipinos and nothing new. 

We are NOA2 September 5th...so excited...ahhhhhh Dude!!!

So, i feel blessed..i believe the senator in nevada helped me. i am not a man of coinsidence. she called the uscis, they release our rfe that day and sent it to us. We responded to it 2 days later. 1 week after we responded to it we spoke with the senators office again. She called the USCIS and requested the case to be expedited. 2 days later we were approved. 

We had very similar. Our rfe was generated on August 1. Tier 2 on many calls couldnt gice us a clear answer. One said it was on way, another said it was still their, another said it was waiting super approval another said they didnt know y it was still there. One even told me after 16 days u can request to have it faxed. I called my senator and 5 days later my senator called me saying they mailed it out. I called next day and asked USCIS to fax the rfe. 2 hours later I had it

Just want to share our experience so far. We are k1 January 16th filers. I called USCIS August 1st and was told that we had to wait until 7 months before we can inquire. So called them back August 16th. They said they ordered a rfe but it was not ready to be mailed. Mind you our status hasn't been updated on the website. Luckily we contacted our state senator 1 month prior. So I called the Senators office after talking to tier2. The senators office says they called USCIS and told them on the on August 17 that they had 1 week to comply or they were gonna request expedite on the case. Mind you  I called the USCIS everyday and chatted with  tier 2 every day for 6 days and each agent gave me a different answer. One said it was sent, another said it was ordered, another said they didn't know, another said it was waiting for supervisor approval. august 21st got a call from the senators office and they said the called USCIS and put request to expedite. They also said USCIS said they were send out rfe on that day. I called USCIS next day to confirm and tier 2 was not taking any more calls for day. So I called back on August 22nd and finally after waiting 222 minutes someone from tier 2 called back. I requested them to fax me the rfe and they did.  Turns out they needed xertifed copies of my criminal records that happened 29 years ago. The options were clear. Either I send for them and wait 6 weeks or I drive to Los Angeles 5 hours each way. And get them right then. I drove. I sent out the rfe on August 24. Hoping the senator expedite still is in affect and will hear answer soon. Now we are on day 220 with still no update on website. And if our state senator didn't help we would still be waiting for anything from the USCIS

It's just too much. I popped up here once in a while. Now I'm  back to see my fellow VJers with 220++ days are still waiting and I'm sure theirs are not complicated cases. My fiance called and was told to wait for another 30 days and got referral number. @I.Kat shared her experience on receiving informed delivery. So I shouldn't be too excited if we get one. I let my fiance take care of it because my weak heart can't take it anymore. I will go back keeping myself busy and keep the champagne for NOA2 and another once we make POE. I really hope next week will be a good week for all of us January fillers!!
