Hello everyone, I'm a USC, my husband is still waiting for his 10 year GC. He already had his biometric appt last January and should be getting his 10 year GC in a few months. My question is, he wants to bring his son (my stepson)here in California for vacation (March-June). He is 12 years old and will for sure be coming back to the Philippines because school will be starting in June and he lives with his mother. If we apply a tourist visa for him, what is the process and does he still need an interview? Also can my mother in law bring him to the interview instead of his mom? Any help would be great. We did include his name on the paperwork for when I applied for a K-1 visa for my husband, but we put on there that he is not following his dad to the states and that he lives in the philippines. Now we want to bring him here for vacation for a few months. Thank you for any help.

Just wanted to let you all know my husband got his green card yesterday!!!!! We are so thankful that he got approved and it only took 1 week for us to recieve. Thank you to all those who have helped us on this site.

Today will be exactly 1 month since they've received my husbands AOS and EAD. I called USCIS and they didn't want to talk to me they said they needed to speak to my husband.... But hopefully there is an update. I checked the status on the USCIS website and nothing has changed. It's still as NBC. grrrrrrr really getting irritated. My husband is bored and wants to work already.

Hello, how long does it usually take for you to get your biometric appt? I was looking at the timeline for other people on here and they got theres within a few days or a week or two. I sent in mine on Sept 13 and got teh receipt dated for Sept 20, 2010. It is now Oct 14 and I still haven't heard anything? Is this normal or should I call and ask whats going on???? Thank you

Just wondering how can I find out if my AOS has been "touched"? I got my hard copy of EAD and the AOS app yesterday.

Hello everyone, could someone pls tell me where I can start tracking my progress with my AOS. I sent it on Sept 13, 2010. Till now I haven't heard anything or even know were to check. I've seen some people got an e-mail, I haven't gotten anything yet. Also i can't see if the checked was cashed or not because I didn't use a personal check, I used a bank check. (probably not a good idea but already sent). So any help would be great on how to track my progress for AOS. Thank you

Congratulations!

I just want to ask one thing though. I will be having my interview on the 3rd and the DS 160 form issue has been confusing a lot of people lately. Since your fiance already had his interview, I just want to know which form he used. Did he use DS 156, DS 156K and DS 157? or the new DS 160?

Thank you so much and congratulations again!

According to my fiance they didn't even take his DS160. We did it just in case they wanted it (not a user friendly site, always got timed out and had to start all over) but they said they only wanted the DS 156, DS 156K, and DS157

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR TIME AND SUPPORT DURING MY ENTIRE FILLING PROCESS!!!! MY MOM AND HUSBAND GOT THEIR CHIPS(A LIL PAPER) TO GO AND PICK THEIR VISAS UP NEXT TUESDAY AT 3PM. I AM TRULY BLESSED AND I GIVE GOD THE GLORY.

congratulation!!!!!

I JUST WANT TO SAY MY BABY PASSED HIS INTERVIEW!!!!!!!! Tnx you to all of you who have helped me and fiance through this journey. I only found out he passed because he had to go back to the hotel because he forgot to bring money to pay for the visa. He texted me to call ASAP and when I spoke to him OMG that joy and sounds of his voice I just knew he passed. Thank you God and to everyone on this site!!!!!! Another PINK SLIP from the Embassy in Manila

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Get a Magic Jack. Thats what I've been using for the past 2 years communicating with my fiance. Were in SD are you? I'm in Chula Vista. Did you go to the Walmart in Eastlake? coz I live right by it. Yah I"m so excited to go take my fiance at walmart and target. Also take her to the outlets by the border or even the outlets by Viejas Casino. Keep in touch since we pretty much live in the same city.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! MY FIANCE'S INTERVIEW IS ON THE 26. THANK YOU FOR LETTING USK KNOW HOW YOUR EXPERIENCE WENT.

OK, here is the problem. My fiance is scheduled for his interview on the 26th. So a little more than 2 weeks. I know it usually takes about 2 weeks to get a CENOMAR. He went to go get a CENOMAR last week, but the lady told him they cannot issue him a CENOMAR. All he gets is a annulment paper and cert of finality. He contacted his attorney earlier today and the attorney told him there is a problem with his annulment. The attorney didn't tell him what it was but they are going to meet on Monday to see what the problem is. FML I'm seriously gonna have a heart attack. Could there still be a problem with the annulment after he has been given the annulment papers already and cert of finality???? I mean the judge already made a decision and signed off on it, so why would there still be a problem????? Anyone ever go through this situation or have any advice or info on this coz im about to lose it with some of the people over there. ITs all about money. I think we've spent so much already trying to get annuled and paying for little things we didn't need to pay for. grrrrr and here goes another issue.

Hi guys thank you for all your responses. My fiance ended up not doing it after his medical (HE PASSED) he said St. Lukes told him just to wait till after the interview. He wasn't in any hurry so he said he will just do it after the interview. But thank you for all your replys

I'm sorry I would go and search on this site but I don't have time because my fiance is at St. Lukes right now. Just wondering if he is able to go to CFO seminar before he even has his interview?

The address and phone number of St. Lukes Extension Clinic: click here.

There are also some interesting comments about SLEC on the site.

Thank you for the info, he is on his way now to Manila for his medical.

My fiance's medical is tomorrow. Just wondering does he go to the extension clinic or the main clinic. Im kind of confuse now which one he has to go to. Also it should be the hospital right next or close to the embassy? Thank you

I also called the Embassy in Manila today and the lady told me the same thing, May schedule is pretty much open for scheduling. She just said to schedule interview one week after medical.

CONGRATS TO ALL OF YOU WHO GOT YOUR INTERVIEW DATE!!!!!!! I KNOW IM IN THE WRONG FORUM BUT I JUST ALSO CALLED THE MANILA EMBASSY AND MY FIANCE'S INTERVIEW WILL BE ON 26 MAY 2010.

WOW,Now I'm so jealous again...huhuhu Our petition is still in USCIS,Goodluck on your journey..Did you contacted your congressman?

I did, and you should also. If I didn't contact them, I still would be in the same situation you are in. I've been waiting almost 2 months for USCIS to send my petition to NVC but they never did. Finally I got tired of same response that NVC still doesn't have it, so I contacted my congressman. It only took a about a week and my petition was finally sent to NVC and now on its way to the embassy. SO CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN NOW :0

I just checked DHL to track my package and my package was sent on the 26th of April and today the 29th in Manila it was processed at the DHL location at 8 am. Just wondering if its too early to call the embassy to schedule for an interview. I think I might be a little to excited but just wanted to ask if it's too early.

CONGRATULATIONS to both of you...so jealous though.I think our documents are officially lost between USCIS and NVC, :( NVC keep on saying its still in USCIS but USCIS said they forwarded it already to NVC...

You should have your USC fiance call your congressman or senator. I was in the same issue as you. I was approved on march 4. Then on april 19 my approved petition was "amended". So for almost 2 months my package was just sitting at USCIS. So finally my congressman e-mailed and they just a few days after they finally sent it and now my petition is on its way to the embassy. So if you haven't contacted a congressman or senator yet, do it coz for me and for others it helped.

USCIS employe sucks.They approve us in just 61days but the NVC sent back our case to them and we we're RFI.And it took them two months's to find out what's the problem in our aplication.And now,we're approved for the 2nd time(March 8,2010) but its ben 10 days but the NVC don't have our case yet but they gave our manila case number,How can we have a case number if they didn't have our case yet? huh! I hope the goverment can do something about that.. They get payed but seems like they are not doing their job well..

Does NVC have your approved petition now? How were you able to get a manila case # if they don't even have it yet? Did you ask for it or they just gave it to you?

So its been almost 2 months since my I-129F was approved, March 4, 2010. Until now NVC does not have it. I checked the status of petition again on the USCIS website and there was an update to my petition. I also got a text message today from USCIS saying that my petition was updated. So I called USCIS and they said that an amended notice was sent to me. What exactly does amended mean and is this something that happens often?

So I checked the status of my petition on the USCIS website and it was updated today 4/19/2010, not only that I also got a text message saying that my case was updated. So I called USCIS today and they said that my case was "amended" and that I should wait up to 30 days for the notice. What exactly does "amended" mean?

have the usc set up an infopass appointment, then have a service request made in person, at that appointment.

Failing that, you can contact the USCIS ombusdsman's office, inquire about casefile location.

Is the infopass any help? When I was searching on here regarding infopass (because I didn't know what it meant) alot of them didn't have much luck with it. Most of the VJ'ers said its useless and its the same information you would get when you call USCIS. If I don't hear anything next week then that will be my next step. My local USCIS is about 3 hours away so I don't want to drive there and all they do is tell me the same thing. But I will do it just so that I can be one step closer to my future husband. Gosh I hope I have some gud news next week
