Tosh Love

So sorry to hear about what you are both going through. Here are some numbers that might help and I hope you make a call for her even if she is not willing to do so herself. I do not know your County in California so I am including a general number and the California Behavioral Health link (Suicide). Good Luck with everything.

Suicide Prevention

Call 1-800-273-8255

So sorry to hear that you can't find a Filipino community. I live in St. Louis but not Filipino but my suggestion is to go to the supermarkets around st. Louis. There is Jays International on South Grand, World Wide International Foods on Lyn Haven by 270 and Lindbergh. Let me know if this helps. Good Luck!

Congratulations

Hi Everyone.

Hello All, Welcome to the Sub-Saharan chat room for updates, questions, gripes, social support and everything in between. Please adhere to VJ rules and be respectful of each other.

Thanks

Anyone watching the game? That first US goal hurt to the core but there is still hope. Go Ghana!!

*Two weeks after you receive the NOA2 you can contact the NVC to see if they have received your approved I-129F. You can contact them at 603 334-0700603 334-0700. Their homepage is here. Welcome to the US Department of State!

Good Luck

Congratulations!

Thank you Jkelly and "No one..."

I have been calling the NVC number 1-603-340-0700 since Tuesday and keep getting a busy signal until about midnight my time when it tells me they are closed and to call back during business hours. What am I doing wrong?

Not to argue any particular point but to add that VJ members who have completed their journey do not typically come on here to talk about their successful and wonderful marriage, etc. So we are likely to see the "problem" cases regarding fraudulent marriages, scams and so forth. This will make it seem that there are more people who are scammers than genuine people so please do not be discouraged.

Getting another divorce decree is not needed if its for you the petitioner. USCIS only needed a copy.

You were asking for next steps. At USCIS there are none unless you messed up then they will send you a letter (RFE=Request for Evidence) Otherwise its off to NVC. Really get all that lines up. ahead of time to avoid mistakes and denials.

Thanks again Dwheels and your link is extremely helpful and detailed. I finally received the paper NOA2 dated May 16th so I will begin calling NVC next week for the IIN and case numbers, etc.

Please click on the NVC process wiki in my signature. Saylin wrote it up all nice and easy to understand NVC.

In about a week start calling NVC though it is taking about 4 to 8 weeks to get to NVC and in system and a case# generated. (I know slow right).

Tax transcripts wasn't needed at USCIS so sorry you will be providing that with your I-864. You can order now yes.

Petitoner divorce decree not needed at NVC only beneficiary if they were married before.

It will be all originals you will be sending.

Read Wiki come back ask questions.

Good to see you back Tosh Love. Way to fight the good fight.

Thanks Dwheels. I read Saylin's post and others but it seemed to skip from receiving NOA2 to the NVC process and I wanted to know if I had to do something while waiting for the physical NOA2 paper.

Sending your tax transcripts with the original package was unnecessary unless you were showing that you filed taxes jointly. Please do not say you sent your original documents to the USCIS?

Thanks NLR. I did send original documents of the divorce decree but I am going to the courthouse tomorrow to get another certified/stamped copy. I sent everything I had because we had just been denied a fiance visa and I wanted to be thorough.

Please bear with me. This is my second time around but my previous process was K1 and CR1 is confusing. I have read the flowcharts by Sailyer and others but I still have a question regarding what to do between when you get your EMAIL approval of NOA2 and when you begin calling the NVC. I have not yet received by paper notice of NOA2, it's only been about 6 days so please enlighten me.

I also sent my tax transcripts, divorce decree, etc with my original package. Do I need to request another set of transcripts and a divorce decree to send with the Affidavit of Support package to NVC?

Thank you!

Ayekoooo! Congratulations!

I did not know and thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

I got my NOA2 on May 16th. Thanks to everyone.

Thank you so much for all November filers. I will continue to keep my fingers and toes crossed for those still waiting.

Could you send me a link? I could not find one for November 2013

Hello All,

I know I am just getting anxious but are there any people who received their NOA1 in November and are still waiting for an approval?

My status reads "On May 13, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN"

Any ideas?

Congratulations!

Congratulations! and Akwaaba on your arrival.
