papers as well.Pero im sure by December your hubby will be her na. maybe someday we should all

meet.

kiat gyud sir!!! sure ka?? you think so??? really??? hehehehe im just trying to uplift myself... but have you seen the bulletin??? july 08???? that is wayyyyy tooooooooooooooo fast huh??? but im still considering it a blessing rather than a miracle.

Yes maam, send them the employment certificate rather than the bank statement, and your good to go daun..

kiat ra dagway anang "smile" nga icon dah! heheheheh.. thanks Raymon.... didnt you know that im including you guys in my prayers? coz if you guys will have your interview dates... and i know for a fact that mine wont be that long enough..... i know for sure that my husband and son will be here in time for christmas. we should have an exchanging gifts here.... and just shipped it.... VJers from the mainland. heheheh

Mitch,

If your way above the proverty guidlines no need for the bank statement, but rather provide the employment certificate as chakadoll said.

Dp i need to send picture with the DS230, birhtcertificate, marriage contract and NBI clearance? Im so so stress right now. Thanks everyone for your help especially Raymon and Mitch.

Raymon hopefully you'll get your medical and interview appointment soon. And mitch, just hang in there in know everything we'll go smoothly. Just keep on praying. And i'll do the same for everyone.

Mis-sy

ill be sending my i-864 next week and next will be my ds230.... will they give a checklist for this too???? coz i wouldnt know what to send with it.... missy... the light at the end of the tunnel where were all in is getting bigger now.... the end is near...lets all aim that we'll be celebrating thanksgiving with our lovey-dubs... and for christmas.. thats too far!

Hi mitch, If things didn't work out(court order thing) on your step son, maybe you can try this.

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3226.html

Your husband and your son will immigrate first.

Once your husband is in the US, he will just file I-824 instead of I-130.

You can ask NVC about this process since I'm not familiar with "Follow to join" procedure.

I think that you can get your stepson more faster in filing I-824 instead of I-130.

Goodluck.

To Yna, Cheers to you.

Another Happy ending on one of our VJ'ers.

thank you very much for the info EKTO... my own son is already here in the US with me... its only my husband and stepson whose there in the Philippines but i will read thoroughly and carefully on the info that you gave.. all we need is just the court order to send to visa center along with my ds230. i havent mailed my I-864 but ill be doing that next week....

i know huh??? really big cheers to YNA. im so happy seeing all her pictures being happy with the whole family.

has anyone here who has PDATE of 2007 got a interview date already?

hello Raymon and Chakadoll, how are you guys... YNA says hello to you all and is having a good time with the whole family.. she left me a msg on my facebook lastnight and was saying that she is having so much fun and dont have enough time to everything... shes sending her regards thru me...

Raymon, did you get your interview appt yet? well, i am trying to finish up my AOS form and the paperworks that comes with it and maybe mail them next week... definitely, my DS230 will be the one to delay us... still finishing up my stepson's court order.... but im getting there... was just stressing out too much... dont want to think about it and put my heart tooo much on it...

i wonder how's Lebanese_gurl doing?? i know she's in her country right now...

i gave birth abroad and im not a US citizen... im a LPR.

1.) no need to file for a separate petition.

2.) you need to go to the US embassy in your country and they will give you a check list

of requirements. after you submit all of the paperworks, it will take 10 working days for them to

process it, you will be given 2 envelopes. (1 for the airline, 1 for your poe)

3.) YOU WILL BE OKAY AND YOUR NEWBORN WILL BE COMING OVER SAME TIME WITH YOUR WIFE...

i hope that helped you a lil bit.

pm me if you have any questions.....

no one really knows the exact timeframe from you bein approved to you interview date... but we are all thinking here that you give it a year from your approval date till your beneficiary will be here in the US. check our VJ friends' timeline and you'll get an idea.

Thanks mitch.This thread got maximum number of hits. keep on the good work.I have been readin this forum quite a long time.Hope this journey will end soon and another journey starts! Thats right!

i know.... we all should get credits for this... twas an informative, nice, friendly, helpful, and clean thread.

at this moment......our friend YNA and her family are enjoying their plane ride and is heading to Seattle to live happily ever after....... praying for their safe trip..... and is hoping to hear anything from here when she gets settled down......

Anyone plz lemme know how long it will take from approval notice to interview ?

Thanks Mitch, i know in due time you will have yours done as well.hang in there Mitch.

you are always welcome.. and im just sooo sooo happy that you're done with all the headaches... and just to let you know that we're not done with you! hahahhaha... you still have all of us here for us to bother and bug you for questions.. so pls stay for us who are still running through the maze to have answers from your pro! but if you really will leave the site, i have your number anyway.... ehehehhehehehe...... congratulations my friend!

p.s do you think a person who filed for bankruptcy can be a joint sponsor?

Good News guys, my case was finally completed....praised god!!

congratulations Raymon... almost there... by this time... everything is with your wife na... and im guessing again, you'll have your interview JULY

exactly! the westest continental in us... well it's just i am opening my thoughts about mitch's situation i just don't like the way it is... (i think you know what i mean raymon) as per your request... 09236560616

sis, ambot oi.. gihimo naman ko anig receptionist sa akong friend kay wala man gud access sa internet.. dili pud techy pareha mi.... ask lang ko gurl ba kong pwede ba ma joint sponsor kong ang e joint sponsor did tried to file bankruptcy but was denied? basi naa diay ka idea. clerk man gud sya namo diri sa office and is not making enough to reach poverty requirements. iyang mama iyang ipa joint, but then you know...na deny man noon... what do you think????

about my case... i will still be waiting for the court order to be finish and who knows when... im giving my husband a deadline till june 20... and if not then ill proceed. ill call you later sis.

actually alit the instruction and the link is in the letter that your father in law got and if you have updated nvc your email then you will also receive it in your email... but if none call nvc and update your email with them in that case it would be better for nvc to contact you whenever they will send you another letter or fees for you to pay.

hi kareen thank you my hubby is residing in seattle... how about you? or anyone here in seattle?

mitch did you got my num already? i PMed it to you... can you send me yours as well? by the way what's up with you now? how's everything?

[/quote

i dont know sis... i dont even want to visit VJ for now... im all tired and will have an appointment to talk to an immigration lawyer tomorrow... ill be handling all the paperworks to him and he'll take care of all the process... im already drained out and almost this close to just have my husband over.... have to leave the stepson behind and hell just petition him when he's here... if its just going to be my hubby, he could be here by august.... i paid everything, but cant submit AOS because of the passport photocopies....

it might take me time to come back here... im just not into all the process anymore.... have to hibernate first and save some energy to live one day at a time.

i have a friend who was also approved.... im just trying to verify coz she was saying she made $24k lastyear. is that income enough for a family of 4??? or she needs a joint sponsor? i told her she needs a joine sopnsor but just want to make sure and get some answers from the pros.

Hi ate yna! Im due 1st week of October, im on my way to my 5th month now. I really dont know yet what to do, if the papers will go on smoothly and fast then maybe we can be with hubby before i give birth. We're still not sure about everything yet, and i dont know if i will be covered with hubby's medical insurance. As we all know, being hospitalized in the US will cost you a lot of $$$.hehe! So we still dont know yet...hay!

Kareen, you will have insurance by the time you give birt.... just make sure that as long as you get here, the first thing you do is to apply for a SSN and in two weeks you get the card... have your hubby add you in his dependents.. and if you give birth before all this will be done, you can still be covered but just retro... if you have any query about your medical coverage with you giving birth in here in the US. PM me...

pls dont worry about $$$$ for your delivery.... We all have the means to all that here in the US.... unlike Phils.

RAYMON, YNA, LEBANESE GURL.... can you guys PM me your contact number again??? i lost my phone just last night!

i dont care about the phone but, the numbers that are there are what matters most.

i'm so late at replying all these post hehehe.. that's good mitch and the next step is the power of chuvaness for your hubby to take his son with him... and if you can finish the whole process then june will be their interview! bongga!

mag dilang angel ka sana sister... and when are you flying over? im aiming for an interview by july... in that way i can still file a leave and spend some time with the whole family.... i lost my phone sis.... pls pm me your number??? both PI and your tmobile one.... i need/want to call you.

mitch, that's so sad to hear... i have suggestion why don't you just adopt your stepson in that case it would be easier... i hope...

im just not sure how will it take for the whole adoption process. and in that way i have to file a different petition since my husband's file is already current... my lawyer and hubby is working so hard. we tried to make up deadlines for us. if the court order will not be finalized till lastweek of june and ill just go ahead and proceed. so sad that my stepson will be left behind and my hubby will just petition him himself when he gets here... which i know it wont be that forever coz USCIS are working harder this time to finish up cases...

i dont think adoption will be good idea.... ill do that when he's here.

Heres the official one from DOS...
