Hello everyone!

We are ready to submit Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

My question is : Does my husband has to do the vaccination first, the TETANUS VACCINE I believe, the one that was not available in the Phils. Or can we submit the application without it. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Have a safe trip Beng! and welcome to the USA!

God bless!

Hi everyone!

Finally got my visa after twenty three days. Thank you especially to beng. God bless you all.

My fiance had an interview last Jan 7, 2008. Still waiting for the visa also. I just called the USEM yesterday. The document verification came back Jan 22nd and its back to the consular officer . She told me to call again after two weeks. Hope and pray we don't have to wait that long.

Hello Yolly,

yes, this is a new requirement of the verification process. This started back in November and it does take up to 2 to 3 weeks for this process. we paid for ours in advance but it didn't help us cause the embassy forgot to get the verification of the documents done before the interview and this is also cost us a delay. You can go to MetroBank in Manila and pay the fee of 650 pesos so it will be done. Hope this helps.

Thanks Jim and Mercy.

Hi Beng,

Congratulations!

I have a question. When did you pay your verification fee? My fiance was interviewed last Jan. 07 , 2008.

Did not have the visa yet. I was told by Ms. Grace this morning that they are still waiting for the document verification result. Expect the issuance of the visa by end of February. It doesn't sound right. Although he did not pay the verification fee in advance( bec we're one of the misinformed people) but to my understanding , doc verification will take only 2 to 3 weeks. Hope you can enlighten me.

Thanks,

Hi Ness and Patrick. Well, I paid on Dec 21, that 3 weeks before my interview date. But, my document verification took a little bit longer coz between Dec 21 and Jan 8 (my interview date), there was a long holiday break. Though normally, the document verification takes 2 to 3 weeks, maybe 15 working days.

So, your fiancee was interviewed on Jan 7, I bet that this Friday, her document verification will be finished and she will receive her visa by next week.

And you know, the embassy does not want us to expect a lot that is why they are telling us to wait until the maximum date of their processing times/schedule. that's why they told to wait until Feb and i was even given that information/target date.

Let's hope and pray for a faster release of your fiancee's visa.

God bless you both.

Thank you Beng. You really helped a lot.

God bless you and Carl.

Have a safe and pleasant flight to America.

Hi everyone..

we had our k-1 interview on Jan. 4th, approved with no problems. they didn't even check any chat logs or emails.(in fact I had forgotten to print out some of the emails from her and realized it too late but it didn't matter..)They seem to be more interested in if you meet the financial requirement and proof of engagement..like pics, ring receipt and our own scrapbook about our whole story on us and how we became to be.I also had to fret about not making it to the interview because of weather concerns and my flight was canceled and I was carrying a good portion of the docs and paperwork for the interview.but fortunately they found a different flight for me which made it possible for me to make it there the day before the interview. but all in all..we made it!!

we just arrived here last nite and shes in the kitchen making dinner as I type this.

Thank you Lord!!

Congatulations!

My fiance had an interview last Jan 7, 08 but we are still waiting to hear from the USEM. The interview went fine. But he was told to wait 2 to 3 weeks for document verification.

Police clearances are unavailable for third country nationals who no longer reside in the Kingdom.

When the clearance in unavailable, you won't be expected to have one for that country.

Thank very much! Now I don't have t worry.

Hi everyone. Does any one here worked in Saudi Arabia and appiled for a K1 visa?Do you need to get a police clearance from there? I've been in two websites already and the information I got is these: Saudi Arabian police certificates are not available to all other temporary residents, including those who have previously been temporarily resident in Saudi Arabia. Please help my fiance has a scheduled interview this coming Jan 7, 2008.

Yolly

No, I've been in Saudi Arabia for 7 years, and they do not issue police clearance, the USEM is aware of that.

Thank you very much for the reply. I really appreciate it!
