hi guys. please add me to the phoenix Lockbox group. Sent mine today. Thanks- ezzie

I have a feeling perhaps one or both of those were expedites....seems too good to be true...but it would be nice to know one way or the other

.........waiting for some good news....anyone??? Where's the elusive approval from those transferred to TSC? It's hard to wait..Sigh.

It should cause everything to speed up. If you look at the trends at the CSC, they received quite a few petitions in March and April which would explain why it seemed to take forever to get through these. May things started trending down and June/July were down quite a bit. Based on this alone, the process should start picking up again for the June/July/August filers. Adding the TSC manpower in to the mix will speed it up even more. I know our petition was "projected" for the third week of November, but we got a touch on 10/27 and then another on 11/2 with an RFE notice (I expected the RFE so I was ecstatic to receive the notice so soon).

Hang in there

hello everyone..I also received an email Nov 2 stating that they transferred our 2 I-130 petitions for my 2 children (my USC husband is the petitioner) to TSC...I got the shivers, and this is not exaggerating...Sent the I-130's on Aug 21st. I hope and pray we will all have good news, as we only want to be with our family. As a mom, my heart grieves each day I don't have my children with me.

Knowing though, that there are a lot of us, I am optimistic..VJ is truly a blessing. You just don't know how much weight was lifted on my chest when I saw the comments here.

Good day!

I need guidance, please assist me.

I divorced my Filipino husband and recently married a US citizen.

My US husband wants to petition my children in the Philippines.

- what forms do we need to accomplish? is it I-130

- Do I need to get a custody of my children? My ex-husband (my children biological father) abandoned my children for 3 years now and nobody knows his whereabouts. My children is staying with my parents in the Philippines. Can my children travel to US with my parent? What are the documents I need to secure?

Thank you,

Confused mom

hi. I am in the same boat as you..ALMOST EXACTLY, in fact. However, I am not annulled in the Phil, but I divorced my ex while I am in the US, and then re-married.

From my research, it is the I-130 to petition the children.. And that it is better for the USC husband to petition our children..

My problem, though, is this, and I hope someone can help me out...My husband is now out of work due to recession, and I am the one now who is in a better position to provide the Affidavit of Support...If he will petition the kids, is it ok if the income is through me ( we have Joint filing of ITR). I know it may sound like a dumb question to others, but it is like life and death to me..Its hard when your kids are not with you..

thanks a lot for future replies...

hi there..

ours is on the 7th of Feb, my husband is the USC. Haven't really started preparing as I am conceiving, and haven't felt well lately...Guess I have to start pronto!!

God bless you on your coming interview...also to all of us with interviews pretty soon!!!
