If I move to the Philippines can I live there and apply for a F-1 or F-3 for my Flipina if I live there or do I have to have a permanent address in the USA if I want to move back to the USA after the approval?

YES, the US Post Office offers the Express Package for around $25 and you can fill the envelope with whatever fits inside and ironically Fed Ex is the primary shipper (not the US Post Office). If you went to Fed Ex directly it would cost around $65. I sent 2-$25 Express Mail packages to my wife and both time she had no problems. Good Luck, BMB!

Yes, Jeddah and the girls have their interiviews in Manila on 1-25-08 at 6:30a. Peace and God, BMB!

Regarding the Medical exam for the IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa in Manila, is pregnacy a disqualifier? I have heard that women pregnant pass a certain point cannot take certain shots and they will be disqualified for the medical exam in Manila and the whole porcess have to be started again? Thanks and God Bless us all, BMB and JBB!

Greetings to all! Does anybody know when the VISA is granted for your spouse in Manila, is there an expiration date that she has to come to America before it expires. I have have heard 3 to 6 month! Thanks and God Bless us all, BMB and JBB!

I received the NOA2 for our girls but not yet for my wife! Peace and God Bless, BMB and JBB!

I applied to the Los Angeles office and received the NOA 1 for our girls on March 1, 2007 and my wife's NOA 1 was on March 5, 2007. We are applying to the Embassy at Manila. Still no touches but I previoulsy filed a I-130 in 2002 so I am feeling our case may be flagged. Peace and God Bless, BMB!

Yes, your husband need to submit a I-130 for all of your children since they will all get visas/green cards! Peace and Good Luck, BMB!

Yes, it is important to read all the required materials. An official divorce document has to be submitted. Statements by attorneys are useless. It has to be the official court certified marriage decree. I am divorced twice and I had to go downtown to get 3 certified copies each myself to keep on hand as it is required. They want to make sure all your prior marriages are finalized and only a certified copy from the court will do that! Good luck and God Bless, BMB!

Do you need your marriage certificate authenticated by the NSO before I file the I-130? We were told by my wife's friend who deals with US Immigration that we should wait for the NSO marriage certificate or there could be problems! Thanks and God Bless us all!

No! Regarding a protective order! A protective order is not a Conviction of any crime. You only have to list Convictions. In theory, a protection order protects the man too, as it prevents his ex from coming into contact with him! It is good in the long run, since it is best not to call her, email or contact her ever again. Thanks!
