Hi VJers.. I contacted NVC and the AVR said that " NVC is expecting return of the biographic forms by the petitioner... and wait for 6-8 weeks.."

is it BY the Petitioner or is it Biographic form OF the Petitioner?... im confused coz im calling long distance from Manila.. does it mean i have to send them the Biographic Form G325 of the Petitioner???

Please help! i'm confused..

I've gotten this message when we were waiting for the DS230 to be entered into their system (not necessarily recd). Thats what it's for, youre ok dont worry~

My nephew had the exact same problem with his middle name being off by one letter. He couldnt get a passport for the actual correct name, rather DFA followed what was on his BC. He had to go through getting the discrepancy on his BC corrected before they issued him an amended Passport. Your Fiance was lucky to have gotten a Passport for the correct name as they should have gone with what was on her birth certificate. I think a simple affidavit that states she is the same person is sufficient, but someone else might have a different opinion. Good Luck!!

Please fill in your timeline and leave more information in your posts, People cannot guess what the issue that you are having is and there for they cannot answer your questions acordingly when there is no information to go on.

Thanks for your suggestion, but being that I am only the third party appointed agent for my sister's petition, it's difficult to be specific to the case:

My question was more of a general question as to "any" emails being sent to NVC. It's been my experience in the past that any emails I send to NVC would be replied to in approx. 2 weeks give or take. So I was wondering if anyone who has emailed NVC lately has been experiencing a delay in their response time.

I emailed NVC on October 19th with no answer still. I know tis isnt the norm as I've emailed them in the past. What's going on and is anyone else having this issue??

Im getting worried that my nephew will age out. Their category has not moved a day in 3 months. Philippines F2B has been stuck on May11998. Anybody know why????

Since our case is of Philippines origin, I thought I could repost instead in this forum. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help answer my question.

I've read so much on this situation but nothing really answers my question still based on our category.

Petition for my sister was F2B (unmarried over 21 of LPR). Her priority date is soon to be current and she has 6 kids as derivatives which 2 of them will be left behind due to ageing out about 5 years ago. Is it possible that when my sister becomes an LPR, that she can file an I-130 for her other 2 kids that got left behind with a request that USCIS retains the original priority date for her petition, which essentially would make that petition for her kids current?

Thanks~

So I am hoping someone here can help me.

What country? Do they have permission to leave the country? my 12 year old is traveling by himself this summer. Already went to Colombia coming home in a few weeks.

We had to send a letter from both parents allowing him to be able to leave went through this in Dec with the 16 no problem witht the letter they let him leave

They would be traveling from the Philippines. My sister is coming to the US with her other kids (derivatives) but one wants to stay behind and finish school first. They would be traveling on an IV under F2B category. We just werent sure if the kid who is 16 would have a problem traveling alone without the rest of them.

My sisters children are derivatives under her F2B petition and they were all to travel to the States together but one of her kids wants to stay behind and finish school first and then follow after she graduates. Is it possible for a minor child to travel alone without the primary beneficiary?? Thanks for any input~

El Ilocano~ not to stir anything up, but if my memory serves me right from reading on another forum, isnt your ex-wife your fiancee's sister? This could have been the Big RED FLAG with Consular Officers at the interview. This might be the time to hire Atty Michael Gurfinkel as he is known as the Miracle Worker Atty in the Philippines.

Hello, my asawa had the same issue that you are experiencing, Im not sure if it will affect the visa process, but she did have a problem getting a passport issued through the PI government. To make a long story short we had to pay about 400 US dollars to get it corrected. Also it took about 6 week to work through the courts, and another 30 days to get the birth certificate from the NSO Manilia. Hope this helps. And good luck with your visa process.

Hi Everyone~

I really hope someone can ease our worries. Here is the situation! My sister's priority date is about to come current. She was petitioned by my mother as F2B (single over 21) and her kids under 21 are to travel with her. The problem is when her children's father registered their birth certificates, he stated a marriage date in order for them to carry his last name. Although she is SINGLE and can be proven with a CENOMAR (certificate of no marriage) we are afraid this would cause problems with the process of their visa.

Can anyone please advise what we should do??? Do you think having a marriage date on her childrens birth certificates would cause problems even if she can prove she really is single with a CENOMAR???

Hi shawns40~ that sounds about the right amount they are wanting to charge her only we are talking about 3 kids here....the kids are already running into problems getting their passports because of this. They are asking my sister for a marriage certificate which she doesnt have... she now has to make the trip to DFA in Manila to see if they will accept the CENOMAR to prove she is single. It almost sound like she might just have to pay to get an atty to fix this mess....

Depending on where your destination is, I have seen good fares from NWA. Go to their website direct and inquire. You can purchase e tickets on line and pay via credit card from anywhere. Another option is either Travelocity or Expedia. Best of Luck

Hi guys~

I appreciate both of your response. So far my sister has inquired with a local atty on how to fix the birth certificates. Not only is it costly but it is also time consuming and require several court hearings which could cause her to run into deadlines and one of the children could be over the age of 21. This would be the smartest move possible, but we thought possibly having the CENOMAR would save her all the trouble and money. We didnt know if we should just let it be and hope that it doesnt cause problems. They also have joint affidavits of illegitimacy for the children by her and the father.

Hello kababayan VJ's!! I want to post here to see if I get more response from my kababayans. My husband and I would like to file a I-864A affidavit of support by a household member and we need to file one for each of us on behalf of my sister for my mother who is her sponsor for F2B. Can he qualify as a "Household Member" even if he is not an immediate relative of the sponsor? He would be my mother's son-in law.... please help.... Im really confused on how to do this right.

In other words, can son in laws file I-864A????

Any member of the sponsor's household may file an I-864A at add income or assets to that of the sponsor.

Thank you YuandDan!

I was trying to comprehend the instructions clearly. It states "if you check any other relative except for spouse, you must provide proof of the relationship" should my husband and I submit our marriage certificate and a copy of my birth certificate to show proof that I am related with the sponsor? It doesnt exactly state any member of the household qualifies, it seems there has to be somewhat of a relationship with the sponsor. I know if we were just co-sponsors it wouldnt matter on filing a separate I864, but this is I-864A, I dont want to contradict you, I just want to be absolutely sure so we dont risk getting an RFE, I really do appreciate your help!

Hi VJ's I am new to this forum and I am so thankful for finding this site. There is so much information, but I seem to be stuck and have had no luck getting a real person @ uscis to answer my question so I am asking for your help-Please!!

We are trying to fill out forms I-864 and I-864A. My mother the petitioner/sponsor is filing out form I-864 for my sister and her kids. We are in the same household so I am filing out I-864A as her daughter. Now the confusing part is my husband would also like to fill out I-864A but it seems this is only for immediate relatives of the sponsor!!!! Is this correct???? Would he be considered immediate relative as "son in law" under section Relationship to sponsor? Please help clarify this..... thank you!
