Guys,

Filing tomorrow I hope my paperwork for my wife's AOS and EAD. We live in Phoenix AZ now.

As I gather, I file both forms together to Chicago along with other documentation.

Is this correct or what?

Is it better to file at Chicago or go to local immigration office?

We appreciate your assistance.

Thanks

Hey guys,

I am about to file our paperwork and here is the story with my fiancee. She done her TB test in Manila and they had her complete at Hawaii and now Phoenix where we are living. She comes up positive since she had at one time or another but is not active. She now has a TB card so no one will have to give her another shot from Health dept.

We have the supplemental form for vaccination and that card for TB.

Is this all we should include in the package? 693A, copy of TB card, and her shot records from Manila and military.

Thanks

Thanks Iya,

That is what I thought considering most can't make travel arrangements until the dreaded Delbros delivers. We are trying direct on PI airlines but way too expensive and full. China Air or Continental airlines are relative cheap.

Of course going through Guam immigration is alright because so small and all filipinos.

Thanks again.

Hey guys,

Question on POE. So far, only medical forms and CFO asked what port my fiancee will arrive in US. Once we recieve our visa and go make ticket arrangements, does it or will it matter if the we enter into another port.

Example:

We put honolulu on form but may use Continental to Honolulu. The problem is it goes through Guam which is US territory and requires all to do immigration there.

Does anyone see an issue with this? I do believe the visa is generic to any port and not one port specific.

My fiancee will ask the immigration officer this Thursday once interview is over.

Let me know and good luck to all.

Guys,

Was wondering what most have done to buy tickets for flights one way to states from Philippines?

My fiancee will come to Hawaii like on 12 May and i plan direct flight on PI airlines. My questions is whether she has to buy ticket there or what? I will check with my travel agency next week but most won't do one way from another country to here.

Does she have to buy there or is there another way? I could ask PI airlines online what they will do.

I plan on day she gets visa in mail for her to fly next day. She has money there for ticket but if not I can order online but will they issue E-ticket for international flight.

Thanks again for your inputs and good luck to all.

PS: My baby has 3 May interview, if anyone else has and wants to meet up with her, let me know. It sometime best when u know other going through same appt and situation.

Thxs guys!

Being military trained like a monkey for many years, i follow what is provided and written to the tee. Common sense is why we have this great website and all the great people who communicate their experiences and issues.

Thanks again and God Bless all!

My fiancee just recieved her packet 4. The packet still reads to make sure the bank validates the DS156 form. Now I read somewhere in the forums that it was suppose to be on the DS157. I know we will keep the receipt and all but which is correct?

Do we follow the packet the embassy sent which states validate the DS 156?

Do we just show the bank a copy of the appointment letter from the embassy so they know what the payment is for?

Thanks for you assistance.

PS: I want to thank all for all the postings. I read everytime I can and gather so much information here. This by far is a great website.

Good luck to all and I will update our timeline. Thanks again!

Glenn,

Sorry to hear about yr issues. I wish you luck and maybe you can talk with cousin to find out what the issue is.

Best of luck!

Here my question:

In Philippines, it is required for fiancee to attend CFO seminar and get certificate in passport before going to airport to fly?

No where is this a US visa requirement but some say is PI requirement.

If we didnt do seminar, what would happen? Wat would be the issues?

Thanks a million!

Need info on what we should do concerning a document requirement for the DS156K. (Son's brith certificate)

My girl had a child,when young, and the father of the child and his parents took her child. She moved back to the province to her family. Since she had the child, she has not talked to her baby or seen him since, over 10 yrs ago.

On all documentation for this visa, we listed she had a child. She has no intentions to bringing or finding to bring to US. She doesn't know where the child is.

We had to list because she did have a child and we didn't want to lie on any documentation.

We have all documentation prepared for the interview and medical, but the DS156K ask for her son's birth certificate. This she does not have. When she went to check for it, the parents of the father's son, lied on the birth certificate. Basically, the document is #######.

My questions is what should we do?

1. Just wait until interview and when asked explain the situation. OR

2. Type this in some word documentation and have her get it notarized of what happened. OR

3. Bring the garbage birth certificate of her son and explain why it is all wrong. (mothers age and where born son at)

We appreciate your input. Thanks.

you may check it now online...they released it only this afternoon ...goodluck!!!!!

Where can I find that? Can anyone fill me in? Your excitement is infectuous and contagious!

Mae,

Did you have to notify NSC with yr email address or did they take from yr application? I hope to have or package sent to embassy soon.

I just got letter in mail with approval NOA2 and need to know if and how i contact NSC to get number or do I have to update them?

Appreciate yr assistance.

Thanks

DJ

Just got my NOA2 in mail with approval of 9 Mar 07. The USCIS nevered emailed me and no status change online. So glad to have it. Yeah !

???: So now I wait couple weeks and call NSC for new tracking number or what? What number do I call and which extension, in order to get update and new number??

I appreciate all on this site and hope all get their NOA2 soon.

Thanks all and good luck to everyone with their processes.

DJ + MJ

Hang in there guys, all will work out. I wish you luck and pray its approved soon.

BTW, I was touched twice last week and have roughly the same timeline as you guys. I was not touched today nor have I recieved an email stating approval or RFE.

Did you get your RFE notice through email or did you have to call to find out?

If I get no more touches this week, should I call to see what is up? I seen before that sometimes they don't always send emails. What are your thoughts?

Thanks and good luck!

PS: i would like a real brot with mustard and ein beer bitte!

Got touched today and so excited especially for all the december filers. First step coming to end, yeah for all!

?? - I figure approval coming soon and our package will be in Manila by 1 April or so. I have my affidavit for support ready and just need to get it notarized. I am going to PI in 10 days for vacation and I wanted to bring all paperwork with me so she ready.

Do you think it be too early to have it notorized and brought to her before package ever sent from embassy to her??

Thanks and I appreciate this forum so much.

Was talking on phone to fiancee and decided to check our case online. Wow! I was touched today and hopefully the Approval is at home. I have a 21 Dec date at CSC so I hope the rest of December will be approved swiftly.

Both of us were so surprised and excited like kids waiting for dessert.

Go CSC for all!

Congrats to all who have gotten their NOA2. Way to go! Mine is later in month and am getting excited.

PS: I have been watching the forums for month know but just getting time to update and use the forum. Can someone tell me how to get my timeline or story to show on the post like all of you guys have? Is it through the signature area, attachment. or what? I appreciate your assistance.

Thanks.
