Congratulations!!! That sounds beautiful. Would he have to leave US at all? 

no need. I am not actually allowed to go anywhere outside USA. 😅 The receipt of the I-130 is enough as evidence for me not to be questioned if my stay date (stamped in passport) will be pass due.

We’re going to apply for adjustment of status from inside the USA. so, now if he left, we would have to apply for consular processing of the CR-1 because he can’t use his B-2 to come with intention to stay. Of course that also means he can’t leave the USA until he gets Advance Parole. 

I used my B2 but it wasn't intentional, we really intended to wait for the K1 process to progress, got to NVC case number but that was it.. We hired an immigration lawyer to help us out and they informed us that I've been in USA legally long enough.. so we got married and sent I-130, I-485 etc. We just need to defend during interview, why we decided to get married instead of waiting for K1 visa.

Well... That’s what we did!!! We skipped his flight out and got married last weekend. Thank you, online “church” for ordaining my best friend. we drove out to a waterfall in a forest and with only five total people present, did the ceremony. It was beautiful, wedding-drama-free, and exactly what I would have wanted even not in a pandemic. 
 

The next day, I notified NVC of his new ineligibility for the K-1 and we went to work on the I-130/145 submission packets! 
 

good luck to all still awaiting the visa!!

CONGRATULATIONS. THIS WAS SO MAGICAL. GOD BLESS US ALL. ❤❤❤

Just a note that Form I-944 is no longer needed: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2021/03/09/dhs-secretary-statement-2019-public-charge-rule "Today, the Department of Justice dismissed its pending appeals in the Supreme Court and Seventh Circuit, and is in the process of doing so in the Fourth Circuit. Following the Seventh Circuit dismissal this afternoon, the final judgment from the Northern District of Illinois, which vacated the 2019 public charge rule, went into effect. As a result, the 1999 interim field guidance on the public charge inadmissibility provision (i.e., the policy that was in place before the 2019 public charge rule) is now in effect."

noted. Thank you. 😇

Congratulations!! Did you go there on a tourist visa?

Before getting married, we asked 2 immigration lawyers for their blessing. Hahaha, so the next day.. We went to court and signed the papers. Yahoooo!

Congratulations!! Did you go there on a tourist visa?

yes. B1/B2 visa. I've been here since December 7, 2020. I was given a year to stay. So, everything will be okay.. waiting time for Adjustment of Status 8wks to few months. I'm still good by then. My Fiancé is an active Air Force Officer, we're getting the legal assistance that we need. We didn't know what else to do since US embassy in Manila is indefinitely closed and alot of backlog cases that should still be processed. I wish you all the best.. There's alot more paperworks to file, but I'm fine with that. I'm married now and with my now Husband. I'm overwhelmingly happy.

btw there is a huge backlog in manila for processing. After you get your NVC number, it will remain at NVC until Manila asks for it. Last I heard they were still processing 2019 apps

Yes, I already have my NVC case #.. but when I asked when will they send the physical package to manila, they said it's still in process and it's indefinite at the moment. I'm still here in US with my fiance.. we'll see what's the appropriate step to take.. but as of right now.. we can't do anything. 😭

This is what I've found for Philippines if you or the beneficiary will attend the interview in Manila 

 

https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Philippines&cty=Manila

 

For the local embassy in my country, P3 is the email from consulate to petitioner asking about beneficiary's updated information and once petitioner replied, the consulate will email beneficiary for the next instructions. 

 

Thank you very much for this. I guess, it's time for me to return to my home country as soon as we have our NVC #... again, thank you very much for your help.

Best time to call in between 7am to 8am or 9pm-12pm Eastern time.

 

Or keep hanging up and calling until you hear the ringing and the second or third sentence of the auto voice machine that says "due to the high volume of calls."

 

If the auto voice message continues to "because of the high volume of calls..." Simply hang-up and try again. Just note you will be on hold for at least an hour.

 

The number that my fiance and I called : 
1-603-334-0700 press 1 for English,  press 3 for asking about "to verify if case is received".

Prepare this before calling :
1. USCIS receipt number
2. Date of birth petitioner 
3. Date of birth beneficiary

 

The beneficiary can also call, you can download hangout dialer to call from outside US (free) 

 

 

And yes, I got my case number on 16th February, and my case has arrived at embassy now, currently waiting for the P3. 

Thank you for this. What is P3? will I be receiving it too? did you called your embassy to confirm?

Just now, Groom&BrideToBe~ said:

Have you try to call the NVC for case number? 

We tried, but we always get re-directed and end up not being able to speak with anyone from there. So we're just hoping to get an email.. Have you tried to call NVC? did you get your Case # from them?

Any updates regarding NVC #? It's been almost 4 weeks since we got our NOA2.. pero wala paring email na narereceive from NVC regarding our case.. what to do? is there anything we should ve doing at this time? or just wait for it?

NOA2- Feb1 

NVC # I got in email today. 
So can I go ahead and apply for the DS-160? 

How were you able to get in touch with NVC?

Your case goes to the embassy and you wait for your packet to schedule interview (fill out ds 160 and affidavit of support)

the packet will be sent to my home address? will I or my Fiance get a call?

what's next after getting case number from NVC?

my receipt number isn't here, but it was received last June 8, 2020.. what does that mean?

I have not heard anything back since my NOA1 in July. Should i be worry? 

Us too. We called USCIS many times to follow-up.. But, as what they've said.. no progress so far. So yeah, keep the faith.. I think if anyone would get anything, they'll let us know. Hopefully soon tho.

Hi guys! So, I'm now here in US. I arrived last night and I was accomodated very well at the immigration area when I arrived at the airport. They needed to check alot of things before giving me a year stay. My K1 Fiance Visa application is already in their system and the immigration officer told me that I really need to be patient with the process and he also hoped that me and my fiance will get notified soon. I got scared at first, because I was taken to another immigration facility at the airport due to "special" background checks etc. But yeah, everything went well. So, the plan is to return to my home country as soon as we get notified. I'm using my B1/B2 visa.

Until you get your application approved (NOA2) and NVC receives it, there’s absolutely nothing you can do at this point in time. 

noted. this is so stressful.

If you wish to have your immigrant/fiancée visa file transferred from one Embassy to another U.S. Embassy/Consulate, contact the appropriate U.S. Embassy/Consulate directly in the country where you wish to apply and submit Form DS-3098 for case transfer. Please click here for the full list of all U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas.

 

The old Embassy will need to receive a formal file transfer request from that U.S. Embassy/Consulate in the country where you wish to apply. Upon receipt of this request, they will immediately forward the file for the New Embassy to process. (Expect up to a 30-day delay)

 

Once you contact your New Embassy you then can discuss the transfer of your fee if you have paid it prior to the decision of transferring your case to your new embassy. Be sure to have your payment receipt available.

 

If your case goes from embassy to embassy, then NO you don't get a new case number. The case number will begin with original alpha nomenclature i.e.. AAAXXXXXXXXXX. If her case comes from NVC then you will have a case number starting with the embassy that you will interview in. To make your payment using your old embassy's case number you establish your profile with that case number then you link your payment to your profile.

 

If your case is still with NVC then send an email to asknvc@state.gov and include your case details to include case number, names (petitioner and beneficiary) and dates of birth for both with any case number you have  received. Further, include the embassy that you want the file sent to with the notation that the beneficiary has legal residency in that country. Send it to the attention of "Supervisor" as they are the ones who approve a transfer.

What is this all about then? should I follow any of this? or this is just a complicated topic you wanted to discuss?

You do nothing. Wait till you get the approval and then follow NVC instructions.
