Hello,

Thanks for this site, it help a lot for the journey of my visa. I had my interview last Nov. 17 2008 and submit my additional documents last Dec. 23 then by Jan. 5 text me that they are preparing my visa to dispatch. Jan. 6 delivered my visa but i was out of town i just got back from bikol Jan. My neighbor said the guy left a phone number whenever im available i can call him to deliver my visa. And the happiest moment i just got my visa today...

Congrats ! what was the add'l documents u'v submitted? thanks..

I hope you get it very fast bfore the end of the week God bless and thanks

Yes, Ken, the approval after I submit the marriage index heehehe... visas too hopeful and wishing

God Bless us all..

Congrats to both of you !

Wish we'll have ours this week.

Maybe depende kung saang branch ng BDO? I brought my ds157 (already filled out) un ang inistamped nila sa likod..

Last Dec 9, Vermont acknowledge us they received our RFE response & case process resume.. Till now were still anxiously waiting for our NOA2, What do you think guys, Do we have to call Vermont RFE section about our status for fallow ups? or just wait for CRIS email notice, or check website update? need your comment here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE!!! I hope you'll get the approval soon, Leet's wait and pray, or lets Pray and wait

Thank you John & Jean, Really praying and hoping that it'll not take any longer, coz we waited more than a year already. i will try to go to NSO on Jan5. And then proceed to USEM. God Bless us,& everyone here on VJ

ung forms na 156 or 156K ba un? ddalhin mo s interview din kasama ung 157 ,paste mo US passpport size pics sa ds 156, dala ka pa ng extra 4pics ...pirmahan sa likod...hmm., makikita mo rin ung posts about kng ano dalhin 4 ur interview.

Hi Sis! Dalhin mo ung nasagutan mo na ds157 form s online, (like 156 )ganon ang ginawa ko un ang i-stamp ng BDO,un lang ang dinala ko.

Ung iba ata I think,ngpamedical kahit noa2 lang,antay lang at may mgppost jan ,bka cla'y busy p. hehehe.

SIS SALAMAT SA IYO REPLY.YOU MEAN ITONG LAHAT NA FORM LIKE DS157, DS 156K, AND DS-156 AFTER I fill up E PRINT KO AT DALHIN KO SA KANILA? SIS AS IN ITONG LAHAT? HINDI KO MAINTINDIHAN,KASI SBI NILA MAY IBIBIGAY DAW AN TAGA BDO NANG FORMS WHICH IS DS 157 ETO LANG? AT SIS MAY ANAK AKO SEPARATE DIN ANG BAYAD KO PARA SA KANYA? HAYYY KALUKA EVER! sensya na sis ha.

Oo separate ang payment for your kids at sau, $131 each, kami kc 3 kami ng mga anak ko din,kaya 3 anf binayaran ko. ds157 lang dalhin mo ok na. S kin kc ung nafilled out ko na form 157 sa online ,un lang ang dala ko at tinatakan nila. tig 1 lang kau na copy. D ko lang matandaan sa ticket booth s USEM (pag interview mo na) kung ilan ang nakuha sak in na 157 ,kc ung 156 dalawa ang kinuha nila from me. Basta importante na mabayaran mo un visa fees nyo, kung hindi pabalikin ang hindi nakabayad katulad nong kasabay ko at nakilala ko, d nya nabayaran ung sa anak nya,kya niresched ung interview..

Did they keep you're passport?? If so that is a good sign. Did they ask for additional documents?

We were told wiat till you hear from us. No slip at all, pink, or white. After two months and seventeen days we got the visa. They are probably checking documents {D.V.}....

I got 2 white and 1 blue slips. I was asked to bring all the passports and marriage index with me when I return to USEM. Marriage index was checked = contact you next to it and then the wait til you hear from us's checked also at the bottom part of the white slip.2mos+ is a long time

Enjoy your trip and be safe !

That made me more worried ; AR is that the same as the wait til you hear from us n white slip?

Hello greatblackbeauty,ang tanging masasabi ko ,u will have to pay $131 each of the applicant,depende sa exchange rate. Bring the filled out DS 157 form, for each of the applicant also. kc lagyan nila stamp un sa likod ng page..

Hi netscot I did the 156 more than 5x, thats how often Ive overlooked mine. Reprinted like 6x (waste of ink &paper)

But wanted to correct the errors,so its ok to reprint it. Just repprint all of the pages including the bar code (3rd page) It will have a different barcode for the next set.and you want the 3rd page to match the 1st page that has the barcode also at the right bottom..

BTW, still have error I suppose if metro manila would be the province for pasay I put NCR for my 156 and already submitted that during my interview)

Yesterday was almost a a tragic day for us, My husband is terribly depressed about the whole thing, We were expecting last week & this week of our NOA2 after we responded the RFE , but it was so frustrating, still no email from CRIS-Vermont until now, looking at the thread of some members here they got approval after 10 to 15 days, thats why my husband was expecting the same. We both feel the same way now we are sooooo pathetic waiting and waiting ,don't know now how much longer we gonna wait for more, we don't know what will happen to us now. Yesterday morning, my husband was crying out loud when i talked to him in the internet, At this point in time he's very deeply affected of the situation, he was sitting there, saw him hysterical, his mom, trying to comfort him, he shouted all his anger & frustrations. He keep on crying suddenly told me better to ''kill himself'' and speaking words he ''don't want to live anymore '' my life is useless without you sweetheart'' why it so hard to live with my wife'' why don't they approve us yet, why those people (Vermont) screwing us they don't care our feeling,,they want us to separate'', I was crying & screaming trying to stop him, i comforted him & I did my best to calm down, I talk to him with Love & affection ,just to cool his anger,.. Oh, i really pity him, i know what he feels now, I keep telling him that no one can help us except to have more patience & might as well ignore the petition in the meantime, & he answered, I been so patient for the last 300+ days & its over.

Things are so complicated, Our relation being husband & wife is so much important to him more than anything else in this world, he want us to be together, last Aug/Sept when were not yet approve he wanted to come & live with me here but i just stop his plan & told him to just wait until we get approve. Now he wjustant to pursue it by early Jan. 2009 he will come, don't know yet if he will return to the States or not, but sure he will lost his job, & losing his job might be an issue in the Consulate interview, am afraid it may jeopardize granting me a visa. Don't know now what to do. We are in the verge or uncertainties.

My VJ friends Please we need your support...we are emotionally down this time.

Thank you, for bearing with us ever since i posted here.

Today is Christmas Day here, Am trying trying to be happy but the truth is how can we be happy when we don't have peace of mind, when we are living far apart with our love ones. Well, Thanks guys for your comforting words, but really Vermont ruin our life specially my husband he's so depressed nowadays in fact he's taking sleeping pills to be able to get sleep, all the symptoms of a depressed mind is what he is experiencing now, sleeplessness, tension headache etc, & so do I.

We're like crazy, we think each other 24/7, I feel like crying everyday of my life i cannot concentrate anymore in anything that i do. We missed each other so much, but we are helpless. We are a thousand miles away. My husband is wonderful & loving person. We vowed each other not to give up in test of life, so I guess this is it.

Hopefully we will overcome this in the near future. We will be in each other arms. :crying:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL VJ'ERS.

Merry Christmas Ate, darating na rin yan approval before the end of this month Let's pray harder.

Santa, I wish things will work out fine for my medical

and USE Interview..

Then even if it's already January, I would still feel it's Christmas!!

God bless us and all of those who will be having their medicals and interview in January!!

It would be a great start for all of those couples who celebrated Christmas and New Year without their fiancees and family.. Isn't it?

GOOD LUCK TO ALL and KEEP UP THE SPIRIT! GOD listens to all our prayers!!

Hi VJ Family,

I had my interview last december 18,2008. but afterall on window 37 i got white paper that show that i need to pass a marriage index. if il pass that requirements then next step is to pass it in window 17-20. what will happen after that? do they give me the visa? im so sad right now. i want to be with my husband because he is sick.i dont know what to do. sometimes im just thinking with nothing.

Hello Yan,

I feel for you. We're on the same boat, we had our interview last DEc. 22nd. I think I have had more worries than you should be coz I have blue slip ( says to check the requirements I was asked to bring with me ) then 2 white slips and one of these has the + contact you, along with submitting the marriage index and giving back the passports to them (mine and our children's)

Two of nice Vj members here said it just meant that they just want the documents we will submit to them and then they can process the visa. I really wish and hope .Is that what the my white slip means?

I heard my CO told me about the visas ( I was " overwhelmed" I didn't hear all of what she said ) after telling me what they 'wanted from me'.

I am trying to enjoy Christmas, but sad that my husband and I cant be together; even this coming New Year's Eve, or day. Oh well cant do anything but to go through more "agony of waiting".( I do hope not as long anymore) At least ,we're close to being with our husband, now I dont see and feel it as much as it'was just a" wishful thinking "

I will get my CENMAR or CENOMAR on the 8th of January. QC branch. I actually tried getting the CENOMAR and annotated marriage cert (annuled marriage) from Pasay SERbilis and QC (main NSO) The releasing schedule of my annotated marriage cert was supposedly on the 5th of January, but I went back last tuesday, and I got that the same day. I guess when they have your requests ready, you can ask them nicely if you can get it right away.The CENOMAR will be released as said on the receipts. But I will try on the 5th in QC ( Kulit ko noh? ) I waited so long na kc, Imagine 1 1/2 yrs, since magkasama kami ng asawa ko. I couldnt wait any longer...

I try not to feel down. Hopefully, I will be with my husband soon.

a quote from lifestyle marriage

"Marriage is being there for the other in bad times as well as the good. Married love stands through thick and thin, no matter how hot the trials or how hard the test. Married love never loses hope. It's always there, always dependable, always ready with outstretched hands and open arms to take the other in--to love, to comfort, to hold, and to cherish. Marriage is learning to let the little things pass. "

The fate of a marriage

depends on each partner’s ability to love,

to care, to feel attachment,

develop intimacy, express emotion

and to commit to resolving marriage conflict without conquest.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!
