Congratulations! Another Filipina will be joing her sweetheart! Good luck!

I know how sweet it is to call each other "wifey" and "hubby". But because you're filing for Fiancee Visa, it's highly suggested that you avoid using terms that will complicate your status. I've learned a lot from hanging out here in VJ and I'm sure you will, too.

As for letter of intent to marry, it doesn't have to be notarized, just an statememt that you're both legal to marry and will get married within 90 days upon entering US. You can find a sample here... all you got to do is explore and read a lot and you'll be in good shape.

Good luck to you!

My fiance called the Kuala Lumpur consulate, sad to say we have to file it in Manila. The consulate said that it may take longer if it will be processed there because he has only been working in Malaysia for only 4 months and the consulate requirement is 1 year. I guess we don't have any choice - he'll just go back to Manila. Does anyone here had or have the same case? We need advice.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry to hear that... well, in that case and if you think you really have no choice, use the consulate in Manila and make him go home when he thinks his interview date is really close. You might make him get a Police Clearance in Malaysia as well since he will need it for the interview. I'm not really good in giving advices but I'm sure someone in the same situation will help you here... Good luck!

I checked your timeline and it's not updated... Can you update it, please? I thought you said you're a November filer? How come it says 12/30/2006 when you submitted your I-129F? Anyway, welcome to VJ! I'm from the Philippines too and we filed last December... Good luck on your journey!

Mae

Hello David,

-TO VJ!!!

Im a filipina from Olongapo City and my fiance from Peoria Illinois..we will have our interview on the 15th..just hang around

here and you can learn so much for your visa paper works.Goodluck and may you have a smooth easy quick approval to your

K-1 petition.

God bless and say hello to Mae for me pls..thanks!

Thanks Luzy... Good luck on your interview... I'm sure you'll make it through. Filipinas are not only beautiful and loving, they're very smart as well. Extend my regards to your fiancee!

Thank you all for welcoming us here!

Another December filer here hopeing all goes well for everyone and SOON!!! Reading the USCIS timetable, it looked like it was going to take forever, 6-7 months and that would be forever to me. But reading the responses tonight i am encouraged that it might get done in

5 months. I had heard before i filed the I-129F that it should be done in 4-5 months but the timetables had me discouraged.

Looking at USCIS timetable or comparing your timeline with others won't help... I've seen most of November filers got their NOA2 already, so hopefully, we, December filers' turn is really, really close. Good luck to all of us!

Mae

Congratulations! Wishing you a speedy approval! Good luck on your journey!

Told them where we met (initially) then how we met in person, dates and some little details... just make sure you can provide supporting documents that will correspond to what you'll write...

CONGRATULATIONS FEBRUARY FILERS!!! Best of luck to all of you and wishing you all speedy process!

I'm from Springfield, MO and my fiancee's from the Laguna, Philippines. We met through a dating site, became friends, fell in love and decided that we cannot live without each other anymore. We filed our case just last December of 2006, after my second visit. Mae's been lurking here for almost a year now but only as one of those "guests" and "anonymous" and we always discuss about everything that she learned from here. She introduced VJ to me and when we filed our case, we decided to join. Even though we've filed our K1 already before we joined, the site was and still of great help for us and we're very happy to be part of the VJ family.

David and Mae

Edited just to say thank you for all the help

I guess the first date would be when we had lunch at "Jollibee" (counterpart of McDonalds in PI)... May 19, 2006

David

You don't have to make him go home because he can be interviewed at US Embassy in Malaysia.

It's kind of hard being far away from my SO but hopefully, this will be the only Valentines Day that we will celebrate separately. And we're also hoping that I won't miss the 4th of July celebration-yea!

Mae

Hello All,

I have two kids from previous marriages and they live full-time with their mom's and I have them weekends, holidays, summer, etc.In my view that makes me "Partially Dependent" for their support.

On question #8 it asks the following question:

8.That the following persons are dependent upon me for support: (Place an "x" in the appropriate column to indicate whether the person named is wholly or partially dependent upon you for support.)

Name of Person Wholly Dependent Partially Dependent Age Relationship to Me

The online form only lets you choose the "Wholly Dependent" options. Can someone give me your view and how you answered this question?

Thanks fellow VJ'ers,

Bryan

I think that really makes your kids partially dependent and about the form, why not print it legibly using black pen? I'm sure it won't hurt...

Here's what we are going to put.............

(Identities have been changed to protect the innocent )

We met for the first time online in the AOL music chat room in August 2004. We then frequently chatted online using AOL Instant Messenger and exchanged many emails. We swapped phone numbers and started to talk on the phone regularly. <Benficiary> travelled to visit me in person in America for the first time from November 18th 2004 to December 2nd 2004. He has subsequently visited me in person in the USA between the following dates: March 11th 2005 to Mach 18th 2005, August 25th 2005 to September 8th 2005, January 18th 2006 to January 28th 2006, April 26th 2006 to May 6th 2006, September 23rd 2006 to October 7th 2006 and January 3rd 2007 to January 13th 2007.

Is this any good? Is it anything like what anyone else out there put??

Thanks.

Looks good to me... No lovey-dovey... direct and factual... Just make sure you got supporting documents like trip tickets, pictures, etc...

Sorry about that... I see that your NOA1 is 11/14... if not for that RFE, you should be getting your NOA2 by now. I'm not very good in giving insights but I know that someone here can enlighten you... Good luck!

Honeysweet had a NOA1 date of 11/20 and got the NOA2 this week.

Actually I saw that one... true NOA1 was 11.16 if you read the sig block closer.... Either way they are getting closer!!!!!!

I bet you find it hard to sleep at night from too much excitement... You're really close!

I sent my I-129F today and used the old form. I read here that the old I-129F was to be used until February 18, 2007.

Did that change?

Will this confusion NEVER end?

Relax... you did fine. Worrying too much about the old form won't do any good. YuaAndDan's right so don't sweat. Good luck on your journey!

I am a member of Asawa and I felt sad when it closed down... It will be wonderful to see it running again... Mr. Bacon was of great help during those times that we were in the process of gathering things up for our paperwork.

Mae

Woo hoo!

We mailed ours yesterday, so I know how you feel. But it took us longer to get all the paperwork together because we had to wait for some of it to arrive.

We also owe a lot to this group for helping us know what to send.

It's a wonderful feeling to have that sent off.

Well, congratulations to you then! And good luck on your journey!

That's about 5 cents/minute if you are really getting 40 minutes. What phone card does she get, and where does she get it?

I know this is a late topic but I just wanted to reply re: cheap call card from PI anywhere in US... I've been using PLDT Budget Card ever since it's out in the market, it has 33 minutes for only PhP100.00 ($2). Very dependable and cheap...

Inside the box, you can just write "See attached supplement" and then use additional page for all the details that would not fit to the designated field. Make sure to sign and date each and every extra sheet. Hope this helps you, if not, better read the GUIDES.
