How was the wedding? Happy New Year.

Hello, are you still here?

Please add me in ym, evievebordon

You can keep your passport. I kept mine after my 3-day sputum collection.

ok lng b un...kc dec 1 ako mgrernew dec 15 ko cguro mkukuha..paano ko ibabalik un passport ko sa knila??

During your vaccination, you will surrender it to them again.

Thank you! :-) God bless us all!

hi please view my topics about medical while on nvc..tnx need ur help..tnx

ohh...goodluck! can wait to see a lovely lady wearing a gown! Hapi trip in advance

Congratulations, and good luck to you! I wish you the best!!

Good Luck and Congratulations!!!

Thank you! Wishing you all the best, too! :-)

so happy for you...will have your fiance home for Thanksgiving...What a wonderful thanksgiving...God Bless you both

Thanks! Yes, it'll be a meaningful Thanksgiving :-) The coming weekend after i arrive is also the year's biggest Filipino professionals' gathering in Chicago, so it's really a great timing for my flight! God is my Great Designer! :-)

Oh, turned out that the original quotation for my flight was wrong, because the agent thought that a K1 visa is an immigrant visa, which it isn't. The discount is for first time immigrants. But anyway, got a nicer flight schedule with Asiana airlines for $850 including the taxes :-) Not bad, considering that I only have 1 stopover with waiting time of 1 hour, plus better departure and arrival times :-) Woohoo!

Please let me know how long it takes to get your visa in the mail.

Thank you for the greetings! As for the visa delivery, I saw online that my passport has left the embassy today, and I've just talked to Air21 customer service a few minutes ago to confirm it. She said that my visa will arrive tomorrow (5 working days since my interview) so I should wait at home for that (sadly, my authorized representative, our maid, does not have any ID, so I'm forced to be absent from work, but oh well, this document is worth being absent for!!!). I...

... I will run to the PRISM and CFO seminar shortly after getting the visa if it arrives early. I'm in Manila right now so I'm hoping that it'll arrive in the morning.

Thanks! No, I didn't have any "preparation" for the sputum culture. If it's there, it's there.

you know after reading your messages i cried bec wishing i can get my visa . i am approved but still up to now my visa is not on my hand. congrats. and goodluck

Hi Kikay. Did they reschedule you for the interview or you did it?

Yes, good news indeed :-) I called again today and they asked me to go back tomorrow and bring my passport, receipt, and appointment letter. They didn't tell me the result of my culture, but obviously, it's negative and they're about to give me my vaccines and forward my passport to the embassy for my interview :-) But I said I'll go there on Thursday instead, when I'm free. Yey! Thanks be to God!

congrats sis!!!

Thanks :-) Turns out that I'm available tomorrow so I'll go there. Will keep you posted.

congratulations!!

One more day?

Today is the last day of the test! Woohoo! I should call on Oct. 8 for the result and for the vaccination and interview dates. Yey!

Thanks, girls! :-) I'm ready for the interview, all papers are here and I've chosen what to wear for that big day! Hahahah! Good luck to all of us!

when is your interview?

No interview date yet. They will tell me when I call for my result on Oct. 8. Someone who just passed the sputum test today was given an interview date of Oct. 28. That's too far away! I guess mine would be in November, that's fine, but that doesn't stop me from trying to get an earlier interview date via the call center.

weeeh! soo close na sis! nataw aq sa SPUTUM ladies huh!im hapi for u na ur almost done xoxox

Hi kikay! thnx agen.. I will take your advise. Maybe the best way for me to prepare for the future is to keep my body healthy now.. :-) Thnx a lot kikay. Ur info is such a big help.

gud luck girl on your sputum exam. hope it'd be negative all the way. keep us updated by posting :-) God bless and stay happy.

Hello Maam, i was negative on my smear too but its really still scarry coz jenny32 was talked about a gurl she met in SLEC that gurl was negative on smear but positive on culture! The St. Luke called her to come on SLEC coz they already finished evaluate her culture and she was shocked of the result. huhuhu!!! SCARY SCARY!!!

Congrats for passing the first step! Yes, some become positive on the culture after a negative smear. According to research, close to 27% are positive on culture, which is the definitive and confirmatory test for TB. But don't worry about this too much, the 73% chance of being negative is a much better number to think of :-) Mostly, it's just a matter of waiting. I'm going on 5 weeks, time flies fast.

wow...happy for u sis!few weeks more to go!!!! thanks sis huh knabahan tlga aq noon nalaman q e2 but in my case wla nman aqng history ng TB

how was the exam? yakang yaka ba? goodluck on your sputum test!!

Thanks! The questions were more difficult than the NLE but I think I'll pass :-) It'll take a month before I get the letter from Cali. They don't have quick results.

ohh goodluck then.. =D

Oh! That's so nice! I graduated last year :-) I think you'll enjoy Nursing, too. I did and it's my second course! Thanks, Toni and Tammy!

I will also have my interview on Aug.24...God bless to all of us..:-)

that is what i heard from SLMC.once u have case # in manila embassy u may get your medical exam hello andrew and k.. i think that would be good idea for you.

Awesome news!! Well done! Did you get any online updates or emails? Or did it just come in the mail?

No email, SMS, or online updates. Even up to now, my USCIS online account says "Initial Review". The same thing happened to my K1 timeline twins (Larysa-Simon and Tammy-Sheldon). The NOA2 just popped out of the mailbox :-) Yours must be on its way. Many of us get it 72-84 days post-NOA1. Ours was 76. Good luck!

It will arrive soon..we are also April applicants(we filed last April 29,2010)...keep smiling..it's on it's way..be blessed!!!

WE WERE APPROVED...JULY 19TH but just got it today! I hope you all are not far behind! Hopefully it's already on it's way or already at the NVC *fingers crossed*

I understand how you feel. I've had at least a 3 week setback with an RFE that I can't get more info about from USCIS. Grrr. We're on the same timeline.....hang in there!
