hi fellow vj'ers...its been awhile since the last time i was here...but nways,im in the states now for a month n a half n everything's doing fine well except for the fact that i miss my family so much specially my daughter....

n my problem is this....i have a child from a previous relationship....she's still in the philippines right now......n me n my hubby are planning to get her soon n bring her here so we cn be together,,,anyone had the same situation? what do we have to do? my daughter is being taken care of by my mom n i dont know where her biological father is at right now....pls i need help......

thank you in advance!

well....i just wanna share my experience when i had my medical examinations almost three months ago...

i went to st. lukes (the place where u have to get ur medical exams done) 2nd week of june..i was so confident because i dont feel anything bad...no cough,no cold or anything.

i had my xray that day (n physicals n the rest of the tests too) n they told me to come back the following day for the release of my med so i did.

DAY 2; i was paged to go to the laboratory...n there they told me that they saw a spot on my lung n that i need to take the sputum test,at first i was like,ok but then they told me that the results will take 2 months to get n i was shocked! coz my interview was june 26(supposedly)

so they explained it to me... they said i have to go there 3 consecutive days to give them sputum samples

(phlegm)n then after 2 days they will give me the smear results but then they will also put the sputum on culture...well they will incubate it or something.... n the result takes 2 months to get,they told me that they will be the one to inform the us embassy n that they will just re sched my interview depending on the results of the sputum test.

basically even if the preliminary results come out negative it doesnt mean that the culture will be negative too..thats what they said...

CIRCUMSTANCES ARE:

IF ITS NEGATIVE: U can proceed to ur re sched interview which they will tell you upon the release of ur medical papers.

IF ITS POSITIVE: it means u have tb...u have to undergo their 6 months medication period which sucks because u will have to go there everyday for 6 months to get ur medicines because u have to take it there at st.lukes.although you dont have to pay anything because its included in the package payment u paid them. they are so strict too...

when i had my sputum tests i was surprised to see kids there...like 12 year old girls n a 10 year old boy,they were to take the sputum tests too...that shows how strict st lukes is...

oh n by the way...i passed the exams,it was negative n i had my interview last sept.1 n i passed! thank god!

id say prayer is the only thing u can really hold on to...so good luck to all of us! hope u didn't get bored reading this!

:blush:

im so touched when i read this message....ive been waiting for my visa for 6 months now,n thou things have been fast for us,sometimes it makes me feel down just thinking that the wait could take a year or so.....its hard being far from the person u love,,,specially nw that me n my hubby are having some difficult time,,,,i wanna give up sometimes....i always think that if i only im there with him,things woul have been alot easier....but i guess ur right.... things happen for a reason,i just need to be stronger,,,,for god is always with us ,,,,,,

the email they sent me have a barcoded cover sheet n i sent it with everything...that being on top...the barcoded sheet from my checklist letter.is that the right one or should that be good enough? :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

thank you so much for all of that...i still have some questions,,,

ive been to a different country so do i have to send in the police certificate i have for that country..

what color should the background for the pics be n is there any restrictions.like no jewelries on the pics?or things like that....

the receipt for the 400 is the one i should mail the paper in with,right? my hubby told me its my turn to do some work so he's not being to helpful right now.lol! if possible pls give me a list of the documents that i need to send in with the ds230.

i would really appreciate that....pls,,, :blush: :blush:

do i really have to send these other papers? im more confused now coz the email that we got was just asking for the d2-230 forms.this is based on the checklist email...but just in case do i have to send the original copies of my marriage cert n birth cert as in the 1 from nso?pls help again....thanks!

i need some advice with regards to my cr1 petition.

when my hubby got an email that my visa was approved i thought we were done,but i was wrong..this was actually the start of the process....

so they sent my papers to nvc,they ask my hubby for the affidavit of support.he sent them in n paid $70.then i received a letter that asks me to choose an agent n i chose my hubby...

march 28 he received an email bout the iv fee bill.he payed it online n now we r still waiting for the receipt.

ysterday he got another email that says i need to send the ds 230 to nvc..my question is,,,is it just the part 1 of the ds forms that they need?or do i have to fill up both parts.ds230 parts 1 and 2?

pls help...based on the timelines that i read this is the last thing that they had to send nvc.and that after this nvc sends in the papers to their respective us embassies so i really wanna do this fast...pls help!

Congrats again.

my hubby filed in I-130 last october.but we got confused because i read on some websites that IR-1 is applicable only to those couples who've been married for atleast 2 years.n that my hubby needs to file another packet of papers before that gets approved,called I-129f.but he said that's a fiance visa paper.

we've been married for 7 months now n i have a kid from a past relationship n i would be happy if im gonna be able to take her with me to the states....

about the I-129f i dont know if he put in my baby's name.imma ask him n let you know. but in case he didnt (i hope not)will it be impossible for me to take her?
