Folks! Let's make a little community here exclusive only for Filipinos in Alabama. I'll get it started okay?

And please please try to be conservative this time (as how it reflects the state AL)..lets be more laid back and most especially SENSIBLE...

You can post greetings, issues, discussions, concerns, events, what's up and about in ALABAMA.

Let's try to create a thread that does not contain cuss words or provocative statements...(Well, im sure there will be people who would always try to mess up things like this).

Alright, so..let's keep this up and going!

hi there.i am Via from cardona rizal philiipines but my fiancee lives at pansey,alabama.my fiancee just got our hardcopy of noa2 last march 24 and he got also my Manila case number.my question is do u know if i can go to medical now or do i need to wait the letter from manila us embassy.can i set also my interview now even i havent heard from manila us embassy.thanks

Okay got it! You can call NVC anytime from when you got your case number from them and ask them if it had already been sent to USEM Manila....once you have known the date it left NVC, count like 7-10 days then make a call to the USEM Manila to set an interview date...Better to have the petitioner do it (which will worth ($18) good for 3 calls but some said they did 4 times)...don't wait for the embassy to send you the appointment letter for it takes weeks sometimes to arrive, so better call them when you think they're ready to give you the schedule (sometimes they would advise you to call after two weeks but no, call them like after a couple of days) they will send the appointment letter in your email and you can print it out...and the ahrd copy from them will serve no purpose by then.

You can go to SLEC for medical examination anytime since its a first come first serve basis. But it would be more practical to go to the clinic if and when you already have the copy of your appointment letter. Also bring 3 2x2 pics and make copies of your passport already for they will hold your passport and they will be the one to send it to the embassy. You can actually go there anytime and just bring the copy of your approved petition and write the case number on the page you have printed out..but the medical result is valid for 3 months only.

Just post your queries here...and i'll try my best to help you in a way i know and i can.

thanks for the reply i really appreciate it.my fiancee told to me that he got a letter from NVC says they been forwarded it on manila embassy.and we have already the case number.do we need to wait the packet first before we can set our interview?what were going to do for the next step?

Given your timeline...i think you can call anytime next week...probably wednesday onwards but if you want to try monday or tuesday you can, anyway like i said that $18 fee is good for 3 calls or more (but not sure about 3 or more)...They will ask your fiance of the beneficiary's infos like CASE #, EMAIL, ADDRESS,FULL NAME, BIRTHDATE, and CONTACT NUMBER. Good luck to you. Meanwhile, you can start working on getting all the necessary docs done because some documents really take time to complete or to have.

hi again.did u get your packet3 and packet4 already?do u know whats that all about?what number do i call,do u know the number can u give it to me pls.thanks i really appreciate it.where can i pay the medical examination fee?do i need to pay it peso or dollar?

Yes, if your case status says that you were approved then you were approved. Give the NOA2 a bit more time. You will want to call if it doesn't come in say another week or so as you will need it for AOS.

thanks Kimandruss.im just worried coz our harcopy on NOA2 was not coming yet.do u know where can i checked if they forward it now on NVC.do they send the NOA2 hardcopy to my fiancee in america or here in the philippines or do they send it to both of us.thanks

Hello Everyone !! I didn't see any thread for Vermont December K-1 Filers, so I'll like to start one so we can keep track of our progress. Anyone out there that have mailed out their I-129F package, waiting for their check to be cashed or NOA1. I would love to hear from you all.

Best wishes to all as our journey continues....

hello everyone..i was new here but i am december filers too.we got our NOA1 last december 1,2008.and i keep checking to our case online.it said that on March 13,2009 they approved our petition for fiancee visa and they send on mail but till now we dont get the hardcopy of NOA2.anyone knows about it.thanks

First and foremost, I am elated that our petition was approved! A couple of odd things though:

I am signed up for email alerts and I checked for touches online. I had touches and an email notification for an RFE a few weeks ago. But the approval notice arrived in the mail today with no change to the status online and no email alert.

Also, the notice (I-797) states "The above petition has been approved and forwarded to the listed consulate". There is no consulate listed on the Notice so I assume it refers to the consulate listed on my petition (Manila).

The notice does not state that the petition was sent to the National Visa Center (NVC).

Can others who have recently received their NOA2 check to see if the wording on their Notice mentions that the petition was sent to the NVC? Thanks.
