Well my friends, here is the post I've been waiting so long to publish:

GREIVIN AND I HAVE BEEN ISSUED OUR NOA2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The email came tonight at 7:15pm. I happened to be talking on the phone to my dad, giving him all the latest updates on other January filers, then I stopped mid-sentence when an email from CRIS popped up in my inbox. I said a couple bad words then told him i had received an email but my hand was frozen, I couldnt move the mouse to open it. He got all excited and told me to send it to him and he would open it! I opened it and started screaming/crying/hollering like a mad woman! He started yelling back "Courtney, I can't understand a damn word you're saying, is it good or bad!?!?!?!"

Once I got the words out and calmed down a bit, I told him obviously that it was good and we had been approved. Now, I just gotta track down my costa rican rainforest boy and tell him the wonderful news!

Anyway, I am SO thrilled to share the news with you all. I LOVE this thread and absolutely cannot wait until I see all my friends be right there along side us.

:star: :star: :star: :star:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so excited for you!!!!! i posted some msg here before that im watching ours, yours, Jeroine and Sunny's application and now you got yours approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

big big congratulations to you! yeah scream you deserve to have the freedom to do that after all the patience!!!

it sucks how the other half of january filers breaks the "normally" 4 mos waiting time for the NOA2..seem like it will be from 4 to 5 months! NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it shouldnt be!

i hope and pray na maapproved na kayo soon......for now keep yourself busy lang girls ....darating din yun time nyo...and soon na yun....GODBLESS

tnx for the advice! we'll hold on to that..siguro excited lang talga kame.lol!

patience is a virtue u know

malapit na mag end ang may...i heard some couples who filed their K1s on the other half of january and already got an approval now..

so i guess nag start ng mag work ang csc sa mga 2nd half of january filers

sana mag tuloy tuloy na..para kayong ng february filers ang next!

hhhoooorraayyy!!!!! we got our NOA1 by mail on the 30th of january so its quite close to the date when USA1138 got theirs! and their application will also be going to manila like mine!

well im just trying to get some positive vibes with it..trying to compare,,

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after that it will go to NVC then NVC will send it to manila USE! were all celebrating for you

i agree its a bit frustrating to wait this long pero syempre its hard for us kase we want it agad..but ofcourse waiting has its purpose and while in wait lets be patient and continue to trust Jesus.. etong application nato ang mag papadala sating mga mahal.. as time goes by, the closer we get to that moment when we can be with our sweethearts forever! so konting tiis..kahit nakakainis minsa ang kabagalan..hahahah!

sabi nga ng Lord..

James 1:3

"because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."

so lets keep the faith, makukuha din nating ang NOA2 natin at malapit na, we'll never know..sa susunod nasa airplane na tayo papunta sating mahal sa U.S.

next week pala oorder nako ng birth cert, cenomar at NBI para sure. nag pa xray pala ko sa medical city, ayun clear naman..plano ko dalin yun sa st. lukes.

medyo bored maginatay especially me and my fiance decided for me not to work while in wait for the application, so eto..naka focus ako sa application process..minsan nag lalaro ng psp pang libang..lol

i bet all of us are doing extra things while in wait!

congratulations!!!! your story is so warm that i can really sense the calmness you experienced at the usem. im happy for you

the csc are acting slow nowadays... maybe a hangover from the memorial day...hahaha!

konting bilis csc! 4 months na ang naka lipas!

also guys i heard that they are not really updating their online notification, i read alot of proofs about that on the January csc filer thread..got their noa2 on mail and still their case status online says that their application is still pending and waiting for approval..

well the hard copy is more important though

Oh and those that have gotten the NOA2 in the post..what does it look like? A white envelope? Normal sized what???? Thanks!

It looks like the NOA1 just slightly different. Here's an image of NOA2 courtesy of capt ewok:

hello po! seeing how the NOA2 would look like got me excited but can u tell what are the changes? i cant really get to understand why u point out at the dates and the A number. tnx!

Just as an update, Shirley got her letter from the embassy about 5/22/08!! BUT...it was from the Hong Kong USE not Manilla. While she is currently still in Hong Kong, she will not be able to interview there since she has an error on her passport and will need to return to Phil to correct. Once corrected she can not return to HK without running the risk of being accused of falsifying her documents by the HK immigration....SOOO....I will be contacting the HK USE and finding out how to get her petition sent to Manilla.

FYI for VJers. I put Manilla on the I 129F question #20 which asks which embassy she will apply for the visa at....unfortunately they just sent it to the embassy nearest her current address....I attempted to change her address but the USCIS had just approved it and sent to NVC who reported they had just sent to embassy when they responsded to my address change email....they did not specify which embassy and it was only after Shirley got a letter from HK USe that I realized it had gone there. I had called Manilla Emabesy and they did not have it yet....now I know why!

Soooo good news the process is moving forward but have another hurdle to jump before interview......

Thanx again for all the great technical help. I try to respond when I have knowledge of a question asked but generaly just don't have time for chit chat stuff. I work full time, in process of buying a house for us, and recently just moved, on top of starting a new job.

Have a blessed day!

Steven

hi steven! my fiance also put "manila" on that question on the application form... i am currently living in "metro manila" as well and never leave anywhere else..

im just curious why it went to the HK embassy. u mean the NVC will sent it to the nearest embassy on your beneficiary's address??

hello Vjers!

i am in wait for our NOA2, we submitted our application on JANUARY 24 2008. got our NOA1 JANUARY 30TH and were waiting for our NOA2.

for all the petitioners who have filed a K1 for their Filipino fiance / fiancee and for all the Filipino beneficiaries here, why dont we all gather up and get in track with our NOA2 waiting process

see who's in the same boat

excuse me po.....can i ask? why was it delayed? did u pay it after the interview or weeks before the interview?

thank you po

number 75 na ko!

huh? anong number na? nagaagawan ata sa number 69..

who knows this might be a blessing in disguise for you...sometimes delays happens cus God is working on something BETTER than what youre planning for.. always make sure you call to follow up your case. did you just paid the doc verification after your interview? cus if u did..then theyre on the process of verifying it most likely.

Hi All fellow vjer's!

My fiance just recently got an email confirmation that our I-129F petition has been approved and that they mailed the notice last May 15, 2008.

i have the K1 flowchart as a guide on to the next step. i heard from a friend that there are instances that the Embassy would require personal appearance of me & my fiance. is this required?

I'm new here. Please help...

God Bless you all.

sincerely,

ness

please include the dates when you sent your I-129F and dates when you received your NOA1 and NOA2.

also the service center where you filed it.

tnx!

I would call the NVC in about a week or 2. I dont know how fast the CSC is moving now, but it took them a month just to ship our file to the NVC after we were approved. They send them in bundles. Once it gets to the NVC, K-1 are processed really fast and will only be at the NVC for about a week and will be on its way to embassy. The NVC will send you a letter that they have sent it to the embassy.

atleast you're file is already done with the service center and now moving faster

by the way the letter that the nvc will sent, was it a snail mail? or email?

Pam - Alex says the letter says that within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa-issuing post, which he has taken to mean the London embassy. Date on the letter is the 19th.

hi rachel! did u call NVC after getting your NOA2? and what letter are u telling about?

i heard people who called the NVC a few days after getting the NOA2 and got their case number, then again called the manila USE to check if their case is already there and have made a schedule for interview and medical without waiting for the confirmation letter that will be received by the beneficiary.

ALSO, there are people who didnt call the NVC but instead after getting the NOA2, they just waited for the confirmation letter from the manila USE before they get their schedule for interview and medical.

so please share your experiences with regards to what did you do in getting your case number and schedule for both medical and interview..

i find calling than waiting better though additional spending is required.

hello! i just want to ask what did you do after getting the NOA2. did u call the NVC?

i just read some posts of calling the NVC and the USEM to verify somethings about the application..

could you help me make things clear with it..why call the NVC and USEM?

tnx guys

wait for 3-4 days after you got your noa2. then call NVC and ask if they can give you your manila case number. once they gave it to you, you can call USEM Manila to schedule your interview date.

my noa2 was approved may 19. i called NVC today and the lady told me they already sent it in the Philippines. She gave me the manila case number. on monday i'll call USEM Manila to schedule my interview.

what telephone number you'll going to call for this..

this one ?? 011-632-301-2000 ext 5184 or dial 0

or this? 1-909-101-7878 (from the PI ) / 1-888-877-9888 (from the u.s.)
