Good Luck to all here who is on the process....Thanks VJ organizers, members...this helped me a lot really.....GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS...TRULY I OWE A LOT TO EVERYONE HERE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL SITE FOR I GOT ALL THE IMPORTANT THINGS TO PREPARE FOR THIS JOURNEY...THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH . GOD BLESS US ALL...FINALLY I AM HOME FROM MANILA AND WILL PRAY MORE THAT MY VISA WILL BE HERE SOON IN MY HANDS.....

God is Great he really has his own time for all of us. After a long and hard months for the process I finally had my interview today and it was so great only 3 of us who has the K1 application during the time I was there until i got out around 9;15 with the Pink slip on my hand...yes no white paper.....thanks God ...thanks to all the members here, it really helped me a lot. Good Luck to everyone.......

There is no harm in trying. I suggest you try calling them. You wouldn't know until you call whether they will be irritated or not. Besides, you have your valid reason for calling them earlier than advised.

I vote for that also! May the result of exam be negative! God bless!

Thanks you Guys...i am really praying hard that i will be negative this process is really something to be patient of .....God knows what is next . Thanks I will call on Monday

hi, this procedure is really killing us softly while waiting. I have undergone the process too and still waiting for June 25th for me to call SLEC for the result. My friends who went to the process with me last April 21 to 23 and had a negative result with the 3 days test were called to report to St Lukes for the result during the 3 week and the other one was on the 6th week for the result. Unfortunately they were both possitve and are now in medication by St Lukes. I have not been called yet which I thank God i might be negative, but still praying that I really am. They will surely find out that your fiancee has the scars now for she has undergone treatment before. Always trust it to God he will reward us for waiting patiently. God Bless

Hi Everyone,

Please advice me if its necessary to call SLEC for the sputum culture test result earlier of 2 days from the appointed date they gave. My other friends who undergo the test with me were already called and got a possitive result in their sputum culture. This process is in 2 months time. We were told to call on the 25th, my fiancee wanted to save some time so he can be still here with me if ever I am lucky that I can get my interview when I am negative in the test. I am afraid that the personnel in SLEC might get pissed off my early call. Please advice me. Thanks

Question? If you just had a chest xray 1 month prior to St Lukes exam and it was all clear. and St Luke takes their chest exam and see's something, do they accept the photo of your 1st. xray to compare results? Just a general question

Hi!!! If you were done with your X-ray and suspicious thing was found, they will let you undergo the 3 days sputum test..then after that it will be evaluated and either you are negative or possitive in the test they will let you wait for 8 weeks for the culture test. I had a lot of previous x-rays and had a recent one too before i went for my medical exam last April 14th but forgot to bring it during my medical. They will accept your xray if you bring them with you for they will ask if you had previous xrays. but as they say it is just for comparison, still the one that they made in St. Lukes is the one to be followed for evaluation. Just curious, did you undergo for the sputum test?

Hi co VJ members,

Please help, recommend a hotel near St Lukes and embassy which is nice and relaxing but yet cheap to stay. I will appreciate much for your help. Thanks

Congratulations!! Wishing you both all the hapiness in the world

Congratulation and God Bless to you both for your upcoming life together.

KEWL Congrats!! I am excited for you!! Hope all will go as planned and I'm sure it will!!

Hi,

Mysticjoyce, ARE U SERIOUS! IT TOO THAT LONG FOR U TO HEAR SOMETHING BACK?!! OMG!!! THIS IS TOO CRAZY!

ive looked at some timelines and some i've seen they wer approved 5 DAYS AFTER the service center received it!!!!

OMG! I HOPE IT WE'LL GET NEWS (the good one) A LOT SOONER!!

they asked more proof of my citizenship n proof of meeting in person..i sent those all in the packet..

Dont be alarmed...as i have said its case to case basis. Yes i have read a lot that some was approved after a few days after they sent their RFE. Ours took time for we got an immigration lawyer and did some documents as proof from lawyers here in PI. God Bless, Dont forget to Pray ...God will provide.

i forgot to put this .. hehe..

..wen i called today i was informed that they have a "back lot" with the applications they receive. so it will take "3-4 weeks" for them to update the system and send my case to the officer who's reviewing my case. i was also informed that they are only updating cases and RFEs that was received on Feb.20! Mine wasn't received til march 14th!!!

Hi, I got an RFE too when we submitted our I-129F to Vermont Service Center. we were September fillers and we completed the RFE January 30, was received January 31 by Vermont and said to wait for 60 days for the decision. We got approval letter from them March 18, not really a full 60 days...but it varies from case to case basis. If you dont mind what were they asking from you again???

Thank you very much Mae, Alhan & Delaram, & Anabelle

Congrats dbears...you made yours very fast on time. How true is this new post from USEM that we need to call for our interview date? I have read it from here in the forum site of VJ....Good Luck to all of Us...God Bless...

Hello to All,

This is my first time posting to a forum such as this, but I hope somebody may have some kind of idea on my two questions:

1) I received approval notice for my I-129F fiancee petition on Jan 31, 2008. At the same time (dated the same), I received a second envelope with a notice Request for Evidence. The USCIS wanted more proof of our having met in the last two years, so we sent more evidence for that. Now, does anybody have an idea how long it should take for the USCIS to process this next bit of information before it is forwarded on to the NVC?

2) I've read that it shouldn't be a problem for both of us to be in US, but my question is the opposite: I filed the I-129F fiancee petition while I was still in the States, but a couples months after that I moved to live with my fiancee in Lima, Peru. Has anybody heard of there being any kind of a problem with this? I'm able to get all the information and help I need from my family back in the US, so I don't see if being a problem.

After several months of this and a lot of Internet searching, I feel fairly knowledgable on a lot of this, but there seem to be a thousand individual scenarios. Any insight would be much appreciated.

I got RFE too from VSC, after 2 months from NOA1. They asked for more evidence on my status to be able to marry. I provided letters from lawyers and they accepted it Jan 31,2008 and resumed my processing. I got my approval just this March 18, 2008. Maybe you got a wrong mail from them...try to find it out by calling USCIS. Good Luck...

YOUR NOA2 WAS FAST...WE GOT THE SAME APPROVAL DATE DBEARS....HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON OF YOUR MEDICAL AND INTERVIEW SCHEDULES...I AM FROM DUMAGUETE PAREHO TANG BISAYA..HAPPY FOR YOU...GOOD LUCK TO US ALL.

Congrats, glad to see that you made it past the RFE. That is a great accomplishment and you should feel good about yourself.

YEAH I REALLY FEEL GREAT!!! GOD IS REALLY GOOD!!! THANKS AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US HERE....STILL LONG WAY TO GO,BUT I AM PATIENTLY WAITING FOR GOD'S TIME

Congratulations !!!!!!

Good Luck !!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!! FOR WISHING ME ALL THE LUCK!!!its trulyone family here in VJ...GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!

I just used the RFE trick and got someone at the Vermont service center..." Hello thank you for calling the Vermont Service Center" Not the usual blah blah agent number........

She said we are currently working on August 19th

You should give it another 6 months to be processed!!!!

I said WHAT!!!!!!!!

I stated that they are working on August so September is going to take that long for what reason....

Then she corrected herself and said give it another month or 2!

Your case has not yet reached an officer....

Another 2 months, just for the approval, please tell me this is what they tell everyone and there is a chance of it being processed sooner?

I know people have wait longer but MY GOD...

Congrats to everyone that did get approved!!!!!!!!! A lifetime of happiness with you and your families!

[/qu

We are also September fillers to VSC, we got RFE January first week. completed January 31 and was recognized by USCIS. Just today March 18th, we got a notice that we are approved!!! after a long long wait. Thanks God!!!

Fellow September fillers who got RFE ...i just got my approval notice online TODAY ( September 18) Keep on PRAYING ...to those who have not received NOA2 yet....God is Good and the Greatest!!!. Long way to go yet ....

At Long last USCIS sent us approval notice today!!! THANKS GOD!!! after getting RFE and has sent reply last January 31 finally they approved us...God is Great!!!!

Doh! I am such an idiot. I forgot to add the VSC peeps:

shea & all

Jocelyn Ela & Michael Pontrelli

Jo & David

Sharda & Neil

Anil & Cindy

Adam & Sarah

and sorry...

Sara & Perviz

estadia, I didn't catch you because your timeline still says Nebraska. You should really change it to CSC.

thanks for including us here in your list the VSC September fillers....add us to your prayers pleaseeee...the waiting is killing me softly ...

Well, you sent back your evidence on Jan 31st and received notice that they received it so your case should be processing again.

Hope you see your approval quick!

Thank you guys Hope you will add me in your prayers too...God Bless!!!

anyone who is under AR/Ap under 221g in US embassy manila?

can we keep in touch guys?please reply...

Hi I am Joyce, waiting for my NOA2. Am just curious why you are on AR under 221g?

Please let me know if someone has with the same case as mine. My K1 petition went on a RFE after receiving NOA1 last October 5 2007.We send more evidence and was received, uscis send us email that papers received and until now i am still waiting for NOA2. Hope to hear from you guys. God Bless!

You replied to the RFE 25+ days ago - Up until your RFE, your timeline would indicate you are within the expected range.

What was asked for (in the RFE)? and What did you send back?

yes we were given the date until March 27 but we were able to send them the evidence through a immigration lawyer the papers that I am free to marry with the court order and other supplements. Is this advisable to call them what happen now to our petition?
