  1. Yeah I called them to be sure. They want me to submit only whatever it is they are asking. SO I told the lady I talked to that if ever I got another RFE I will blame it to you, hahahaha! She laughed! I told her that I have those papers sent along with the whole package, NOW why are they asking it again and sent this RFE very late? She said sometimes papers get lost especially if they are transferred to another center.

    She said after I send the answer to call back again. Anyway, I will still submit another form and 3 photo copies each of my BC and MC. Hope to get approval soon!

  2. Hello Vida,

    Sorry about the rfe.

    In my case i filled the form in my maiden name as that was what was in my passport and it was what we originally filled with, and when i went for biometrics i asked the guys there if i could change my name but they said its possible if only i had brought my marriage certificates along.

    I dont know really but i think you should fill out another form, in your maiden name incase they want it to be in your maiden name but also include your marriage certificates and brith certificate inside the package, that way if what they want is evidence of your marriage or married name they ll get it there, if what they want is your maiden name then they will have the new form you filled out too.

    Thanks a lot Beautiful years! I am getting ready to copy them and submit it TODAY! lol :)

  3. Ok so today I finally got my precious RFE letter! It says that the record they have for my file is my maiden name and since I used my married name that makes RFE. So I was thinking I need to resubmit my birth certificate and marriage certificate?Am I right? (Though I have included both of them in my package last time. ) :crying:

    I'm just thinking do I need to submit another Form I-765? Or just the marriage certificate and birth certificate? Thanks!

  4. Sorry Grace! I believe it's really unfair since she has a negative Xray! They will for sure ask another CXR here and as what dbears said since US law they will let her have the treatment for 9 months! You could explain the situation with the doctor here. SLEC at least should have just put annotation like PPD +. Sad thing is I don't think you could give her QTF test since I heard it's not yet advisable for children?

    I dunno what to say but best of luck to you and to your baby!. Explain it to the doctor here.

  5. Sometimes it's just unfair to think of the fact that because the Philippines is a high risk country of this disease, everyone who had been confirmed with positive PPD had been exposed with someone with active TB. Even though nobody in the family has the disease nor any pulmonary infections. It's just like saying Philippines is not safe. What if the reading has been bias? How about if a positive reaction requires 15mm or more of hard swelling at the site and the person has no known risk of the disease? Since you got 13 mm and you came from the Philippines, then your positive?!

    Now I am more thankful of this another test... the QuantiFeron test because of the following advantages :

    * Requires a single patient visit to draw a blood sample.

    * Results can be available within 24 hours.

    * Does not boost responses measured by subsequent tests, which can happen with tuberculin skin tests (TST).

    * Is not subject to reader bias that can occur with TST.

    * Is not affected by prior BCG (bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccination.

    Although this test has just been started this has been approved way back 2005.

    What is it?

    The QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test (QFT-G) is a whole-blood test for use as an aid in diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, including latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and tuberculosis (TB) disease. This test was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2005.

    Whatever it is I am very happy that I AM NEGATIVE!!!

    Thank GOD!

  6. Congrats :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    How much was the quantiferon test? i ought to have my kids go through that test also. It is not available in the health department here in our county, it would have been nice if it was coz it would spell cheaper or even free quantiferon test for the kids.

    Anyhow, congrats talaga, i am soo happy for you. wala ng agam-agam sa health mo :thumbs:

    Thanks sis! Finally!

    Actually sis I got it for free in the health department here. The doctor told us we're lucky because they have just started it coz if not we'll be paying around $250 - $ 270. My goody! That's how expensive it is!

    I'm so happy!!

  7. Sometime ago... I posted about me getting my PPD test positive but negative CXR which ends up to more complications!!!!

    a. I was told to take 9 months prevention treatment -- which I did!

    b. my husband's visit with his kids has been suspended by the X --- ends up another court thing again--more delay again for me to meet them!!

    ..... Both me and my husband took the QuantiFeron test and turns out to be NEGATIVE!!!!! It was a false positive for my PPD TEST!

    ..........Finally I no longer need to continue the meds because the last test we took clearly says we've never been exposed to someone with TB! The agony of the side effect of the meds is a pain in the b*tt!! FINALLY I'm done! Thank God :dance: :dance: :dance:

  8. She said our EAD is beyond processing times and gave me some number thing. Of course, she said if we haven't heard anything within 45 days that we have to call back :angry:

    OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    a friend IMed me just now she said she called USCIS..

    and this is what they told her.. same thing!!!!!! :wacko::wacko:

    If this is true it's annoying then!! I called them how many times before I got my RFE notice but said nothing. Then worst they sent me RFE on my 67th day!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR........... Well, after I send back my response to what they need more I WON'T STOP IN CALLING THEM EVERYDAY!!!!!

  9. Try the one that I have in my signature just click it and register yourself. It's a survey thing there is an info how to do it. It's legitimate and it's good enough for now. The money you bring depends on how patient are you to click. If you are interested you can PM me. I had deposited my checks from it. I am expecting by the end of this month another check.

  10. I got mine 8 days after the day of my interview. I was from Mindanao and I decided to just wait my visa in Manila. If she wants to wait for it in Manila let her have a family/relatives address for the visa delivery because they don't usually deliver in a hotel. Might as well pick it up if she don't have relatives in Manila.

    Good luck to her!

  11. I was thinking, I understand that a K3 Visa holder is a 2 year multiple re-entry permit. I wanna ask the OP what does it says for your expiration date? Because I'm thinking that may be the validity of your visa. I think that is. If its says there 2 years then nothing to worry. If it says there 6 months then nothing to worry either because you will be leaving on the 3rd month anyway.

    For K1 validity of the visa is 6 months but the moment you enter the US the validity will only be 90 days.

    Does it applies to K3? when is the 2 year starts? The moment he/she receive the visa or the moment he/she enter the US? just a thought..if anyone could clarify this that would be good.

    Vida Taylor

    The 2 years is indicated in the US visa that is printed in the passport. Mine says "Issue Date 02/11/08 Expiration Date 02/06/10". The 90 days does not apply to K3 because its for couples who got married in the Philippines. It only applies to K1 who needs to get married within 90 days once they arrived in the US.

    Thanks a lot!

    Thank you guyz for your answers to my query. The expiration date of my visa is Nov. 2010. So, bale 2 years talaga sya. Since valid lang pala for 6 months ang medical, so safe ako kasi I'll be leaving before the 6th month.

    Medical is valid for 1 year as I've known! Anyhow, you are very safe!
