    No RFE yet, fingers crossed.😊

    The last time I went over I left a folder with papers, including a copy of the completed 129F. She’s not near the interview yet. Look at threads of those just out of the interview in Manila, they often list what is asked for. A complete copy of the often common divorce decree seems to be a biggie. I don’t remember if a 129F copy was asked about, look it up. There was the cover sheet of the DS-160. There should be a way to email over copies if you think they are needed.

    That is a great timeline. I’m near the same, but not through the USCIS yet. My timeline shows early June now, hopefully soon.

    She is from Gen Santos City, the plan is to come to Wisconsin. 😊

    Seems to me you already provided plenty in that area.

    Read the 129F instructions carefully, slowly, several times.
  7. widude
    Have you tried contact with the USCIS? That seems like the next course of action for you.

    What??? Cutesy nicknames but not married?? How can this be a problem? At the very most, an RFE/I later to clarify. I wouldn’t slow anything down, at the most, a simple clarification. The biggie is, are you officially married or not, with documentation, sounds like not. My beneficiary calls me ‘husband’ all the time, zero worries for me. I didn’t sent copies of those texts though. Anyway, I wouldn’t slow anything if sent, clarification at the most.

    I think it is over. Yes, I’d rather just give her $50, and forget about the piglets.

    I kinda squashed the idea, without any damage. I just thought it was a little out of the norm, especially with the 129F process moving along.

    This screams a terrible idea to me, am I missing anything? Things are well overall, a month or so until through the USCIS process, 129F. She was floating the idea of raising a few pigs for profit? She doesn’t have much room, little to no experience doing so. A quick net search shows the practice in the Philippines break even at best. Am I to much of a skeptic? Again, things are well overall. I think she would really try it. I’m just thinking, with the ultra low labor costs there, and expenses, any profit would be minimal. It’s like the neighbor selling backyard chucked eggs for $3 a dozen, profit is usually negative.

    I was told an ‘estimate’ of 1-3 months at the NVC. That would be a fair amount shorter than time at the USCIS.
  13. widude
    Where are the participants? You in NJ, he/she in the Philippines?
  14. widude
    Thanks, I’ll forget the idea of overthinking the process.
  15. widude
    Thanks, oh, I see the failure rate is down near 10-15%, so maybe not that bad. With that letting the cards fall where they may, will be the course of action. Just to reiterate, the plan wasn’t to show anything to St Lukes. It was to do an independent test, then if needed, independent treatment. I do realize St Luke’s would do everything independently, only dealing with their own treatment.
  16. widude
    Just an idea, the thought is to get a lung x-ray prior to the St Luke’s medical exam? What if the beneficiary went to another hospital to get a chest x-ray, looking for the same ‘sputum’ condition? Then if a problem was evident, one could start treatment months before the official medical check? What is the first time failure rate? Lung exam? Just a thought as the 129F is moving along. Some mention antibiotics, may I ask the type/name, OTC??

    I’m kinda new here, been poking around, trying to figure things out. Filling out your own ‘timeline’ helps, plus others can tell what you’re referring to. My timeline started to show 129F through the USCIS in Nov, it has slowly moved up to mid to later June. I’ve tried to get ready for the next steps, before they get here, not much I can do now. I recently got back from my 3rd trip to the Philippines, kinda a hike, but enjoyable. It’s another 1:40 flight after landing in Manila.
  18. widude
    I researched a little, consensus seemed to be, if needed you can get them with your medical check. I would lean to wait.
  19. widude
    Thanks, I’m learning.😊

    Hey, I know it’s an estimate, not making any plans based on the info. My first question, is there hope of the estimate being fairly accurate? The 2nd question, is that just for the 129F through the USCIS? After that one has the NVC then the interview & medical in the country. So does one have to ‘estimate’ another 4 months(or whatever) after the end of the estimate? I know, the easy answer is, it’s just an estimate. Just wondering with any that compared one to actual outcome. Thanks.

    Heading out today, through Haneda/Tokyo. After Tokyo my plan is Manila then down near Cebu.

    A related question, I have the 129F in process, only just over 2 months worth. I’ve never given much thought to the ‘Utah online marriage’, but never know. She and I are ready anytime, don’t mind before the end of the year for slight tax advantages. How would getting married change the 129F process? Would we start over with the other, married option? Again, just a question as we muddle through the long process.
  23. widude
    I just came back a week ago, she flew to Manila to meet this time. I’d get your butt over there & start with proof of a visit.
  24. widude
    A ‘Utah zoom wedding’ seems a bit much if not of met yet??
  25. widude
    I would try to do a ‘1st meet’ soon, providing all was well, you could start the 129F process with the proof of meeting. As far as flying over, long way, some expense, 30 days is a long stay. Long stays cost more $$. Why not go soon, get the proof of meeting, then fire off the 129F application? Since the 14 pages of the application takes a while, start it now, fill in parts later of meeting. One should get a feel for the relationship, if for some reason it turns south, you can opt out later by not completing required steps. Some suggest getting married is a viable choice, then coming to the USA, maybe. For me I settled on the 129F.
