Hi All, I have just been approved! Overall the interview is pretty ok except for the 2 hrs delay.

To other VJers waiting for their interview just be patience... its on way .

Finally! Got a letter for initial interview on Sept. 24. Kindly update... does initial interview means there will be more interview in the future???

To other fellow Vjer's just be patient... I bet your's are being processed also...

No update on the USCIS case status website but I just got my letter today. FYI

Kindly update mine, after receiving RFE finally got my EAD today!

thanks!

AOS sent February 11, received Feb 19... just got receipt notice for my EAD application the rest still no status....

Kindly add me to the list.

thanks!

Wow! Nice informative information there rouguewave!

Erika's husband: Thank you for that suggestion maybe I will ask my wife to contact her accountant.

For all contributors, thank you very much. Now I can be at ease with some idea's on how I will go about with this.

Hello Fellow Vjer's,

I just got my medical exam today and it was quick! So my advise is take your physical exam early on Wed or thurs of the week to avoid the rush.

Also just an head's up for those going for medical, the new fees are Php6,525 payable only in cash and in Philippine Pesos so make sure to bring enough cash.

I hope we get an answer from an expert. Since I am really at loss of how to go about with this.

thanks!

Wow, that was a very quick reply.

Ok, regarding bank transfers. I currently don't have an account in the US, if ever I will be sending them it will be thru my wife's (US Citizen) account's. Wouldn't it be questionable (to IRS) as to why she suddenly got big deposits into her account.

Good Day VJer's,

I just got my K-3 interview schedule and was wondering if all goes well, upon entry into the United States how much I can bring? I believe there is a limit of $10,000USD since more would mean money laundering.

However, I am going to sell all my assets off, house, car, furnitures etc.. and more or less this would be more than the suggested limit. That is why I am in a dilemma.

If you have any reference you can provide it would be greatly appreaciated. I tried browsing through US customs website but found no information.

Thanks!

Guys,

My wife just received our NVC receipt notice via snail mail and have already gotten my NVC Case number.

My question is how do I check with Manila US embassy when my interview date is?

Don't lose hope guys you will be receiving yours pretty quick soon.

Regards.

pushbrk: thanks for that reply... actually I was confused by some Vjer's having both their CR-1 and K-3 processed at NVC.

So I guess I will be doing K-3 then...

thanks!

To my fellow VJer's: Just would like to ask what is written on your approved I-130 (NOA2). Does it states anything about being sent to NVC?

I have only received mine and it indicated something like "The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status.....If the person for whom you are petitioning decides to apply for a visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner should file form I-824 ....."

Does that mean that CSC will hold on to your I-130 and I don't need to prepare anything for the I-130 anymore? I am confused since some VJer's got both of their petition processing with NVC...

How do i confirm if my I-130 was retained with CSC? Also how will i know if my case was forwarded already?

Thanks

I guess the only way to confirm this is to check with VJEr's filing purely CR-1/IR-1 only... and see if their notice contain words saying they have forwarded the case to NVC.

sup guys..pls pray 4 me im a march filer but i usually post in the april thread since i have a noa1 in april..just llook at my signature..thank u n congrats to everyone

Don't Lose hope kits, at the rate CSC is going you will have your approval next week .

Congrats mdpo!!!

Hopefully NVC works in your favor, and remember I think there is a way to push the I-130 through, but I think it is a $200 fee or what not.

For some reason my time line estimate jumped back a few weeks in the beggining of the week now it is more than a month ahead. Is it really true that I should be expecting something this week or am I getting my hopes up for nothing just to be let down again? I am really pushing to get her here for the holidays no matter what. Before I wanted the CR1, but now the K-3 is fine with me too. It isn't like she is making any real money over there anyways, so if she doesn't work for a while it is fine, I just need her here.

ji119: Was hoping that both cases would be sent to Manila US Embassy.. since our embassyis also known to have delays in scheduling...

I wanted to go via the CR-1 route frankly since I K-3 didn't get me to US sooner than expected and I would have to go the hassle of AOS when I go for K-3...

But I guess if NVC would work on my benefit and process the CR-1 too.

I guess CSC is moving now so the reason why your timeline jumped back... well I am wishing you all the best so that you can unite with your wife soon.

My I-130 was approved today August 16. Kindly update... thanks!

Now I am in dilemma... both my I-130 and K-3 was approved... how will I know if my I-130 will push through? Since I believe USCIS hold the approved I-130 if you filed for K-3 right.

thanks.

Timeline edited

Congrats mdpo

When you received your NOA1 for 129F?

BTW,if you "touched" on I 130, it means (almost sure) that you'll be approved within the next couple days on your I 130 too.

Zolanden:

My I129F Timeline is as follows:

NOA1: 04/03/07

Transferred to CSC: 06/09/07

NOA2: 08/15/07

Congrats also to my Fellow VJer's that got their approvals... since like CSC is moving... running perhaps .

To all other March filer's don't lose hope you might have your approval in your email already if not today maybe within the week... Goodluck!

To those happy guys who got approval:

If you 'll have time,please,update your timelines.

Thanks!

How do I add timeline for K-3? since my timeline is for I-130? Is it possible to have 2 timelines?

Approved Finally!!! for my K-3 however no approval for I-130 only touched??? Does this mean I have to go K-3 instead?

But I am happy at least my K-3 got approved!

Kindly include me in this list I-130 NOA1 March 19.

Then K-3 March 27 then transferred to CSC only last July.

Since then no touch or anything... sooo frustrating.

Wow! Congrats! Gives me hope that approval is on its way

Count me in... no touch or whatsoever Filed on late March

I am for one... nothing on both IR-1 and K-3

Count me in for CSC, just kindly advise procedures so that we will be sync.

thanks
