Usually it is 5 to 7 business days.

Yes the more ammo the better..but, I never snail mailed anything to my fiance and we did just fine..in fact when she went to the interview last week..they didnt even look at the evidence she brought with her. Our focus was completing all the required documents and making sure everything was ready. When I sent the application I included about 6 photos of us and copies of my tickets and boarding passes and not that much more evidence, thinking she would bring more when she had her interview, and it turns out she didnt need any of it. But the more evidence you have the better for sure because you never know what is going to happen in the interview. Good luck

I used cheapoair.com and purchased my fiance ticket to minneapolis without any problems..just use the search engines because there are only a few sites that will have flights originating from manila..good luck, and shop around because the price vary alot right now.

Its interesting that you mention this..I have seen this myself and am suprised at how some have come here to America and surely changed..I dont of course know what these people were like before they moved here, but I certainly didnt like the way they acted towards me when I approached them. I am sure that they were the exception to the rule, I hope so anyway because i am marrying a filipino and i would hate to see my fiance act like this..

the visa is $131 and the medical is $213

and yes you will need 4 copies..

The petioner will have to send a copy of his birth certificate when he files the application..He/she will also have to have a copy of divorce decree, and things like that..the beneficiary will have to have a birth cert also, and one for each child if they have any..but they dont need to be sent with the original application the petitioner sends to the uscis, you will need those at the interview..the instructions are all in the uscis website..good luck to you..

You will need the divorce decree to send it in with the application..the information will be on there..i know i had the same problem and i actually put in the wrong date of the divorce..and i noticed later it was on the divorce papers..her birth date, the date of the marriage and the date of divorce. at least that is the case in my state. Hope this helps

Hello..congrats on getting your Rn here in the states. I am not filipino, but i am a Rn, and i would agree with the previous post, in the fact that you should be just fine in a long term care setting. It is much slower pace, and not as intensive nursing as say a hospital acute care. I would agree also, that you should continue to search for something outside of the long term care enviroment if you want to advance your career and have a more fast paced challenging career. I appreciate the nurses who work in long term care, and I know they are good at what they do, and some really enjoy it, and maybe you will also, but as far as advancement, your best bet would be working in a hospital or continuing your schooling. Good luck to you, and dont worry about talking to authority figures. I cant speak for everyone, but for most of my work experience, employers are good at orientation as far as making sure you know the job before you are on your own. I think you will be just fine.

my fiance suggests you type the word annulment in the search area and that will take you to more people that have been in this situation..and they can help you better maybe..hope this helps..

I gave this link to my fiance..she might be able to help you better than me..sorry about the delay..

she got the decision and finality..she didnt know anything about the entry of judgement..her atty gave her that along with the annoted marriage contract..hope this helps..

hmm..did she use an atty to file for the annulment? if she did then she should ask him/her about that. I know my fiance consulted with her atty quite often to make sure everything was done properly..she actually knows more about this than I because she went through it..i just paid for it

when did you file the k1? because didnt you send in the copy of the annulment with the application? I am in the same situation as you, and i sent my fiance's annulment papers with the application..She received 3 copies from the courts, and i am not sure on this, but she waited a couple months after the annulment was done and got a cenomar from the NSO office there that shows that she is free to marry. I think the annulment decree that was given to her from the courts is all she needs, and it should be at the NSO that she is free to marry with a cenomar. If you filed before Oct when she got her annulment, then you filed too early. Good luck

you dont need the letter..in fact if you wait about a week you can call and schedule the interview without receiving the packet. I know this for a fact because i just did it a couple weeks ago. And when i called and scheduled her interview the man at the embassy said that it was approved about a few days before i called, so i could have done it earlier, but i would wait a week. Good luck

as long as you have the annulment in hand you dont need the cenomar yet..you both have to be able to legally marry at the time you file, so if you are waiting for the annulment, then wait longer until you have it, otherwise your fine.

my thoughts to you is contact the board of nursing in the state that you are living in..They should be able to tell you what you have to do..you should be able to go to their website for contact information..best of luck

you can keep the original, just scan it and send it to her..and keep the original..thats what i did..

have her pic taken and then she can send it to you as a jpeg and then download it on your camera and take it to a photo shop and have them make a 2x2 out of it..takes less than a day

hmm i simpathize with you..i know ours took a little longer than i expected..i called the nvc and at first was told that it was under review, but then i called the next day and was told that it was sent to manila..so i would call the nvc if i were you..i was on hold though for like an hour, so b prepared..good luck..

sorry to hear your not feeling well..my thoughts to you is to get your sore throat checked out though..I am a nurse and my thoughts to you is get a strep test..not to scare you or anything but if left untreated, it could get very serious..i know you may not have insurance and it would be a little bit of a burden to you, but its worth getting looked at..I hope you feel better, and enjoy your new life..but please go to a clinic and have them treat you..good luck..

it sounds a little strange that you want to send her to phil to have the child to save money..of course it is possible, are you going with her? if not, wouldnt you want to be there for the birth? it is expensive just for the airfare to the philippines and back for the 3 of you..and how long is she planning on staying? because it would be difficult to travel back to america with a infant..anyway it wouldnt be that hard, but it would be easier if the child is born in the us..no paperwork to fill out at all..

ok..this is from a guys point of view. I would definately be suspicious about this. Its not that strange to have a girl best friend, but to have planned trips of a week with her?? That is a week the two of you could be vacationing together or enjoying each other. If this is truly just a friend, then he should consider your feelings about this, because i am sure he wouldnt want you to go off for a week with another guy, even if you are "just friends". I applaud you for being secure with your relationship, but i would definantely get this straightened out before you are married, trust is a must, but this seems a little extreme to me.

if you already applied for the k1 then i would just wait out the remainder of time because if everything goes well she will be here in a few months anyway. It is very doubtful she will be able to get a tourist visa to come here unless she makes either a lot of money or she has ties to a business or something that would keep her interest there. The average time for the approval is currently 5 months, and you are 2 1/2 there already, so just be patient.

I know its hard, I am in the same boat as you, and I am trying my best as well. if there is a delay that is when I would visit her again, thats what i did..and you can go from there. I wish you luck, and just hang in there

I am curious to know what your conversations were like before she moved here. Obviously something was amiss or there wasnt clear communication between the two of you. You should sit down and have a heart to heart conversation with this girl and come to an understanding of what her and your intentions and expectations are. A newlywed couple dont just live in seperate houses, and they dont have seperate lives. What was the situation when you went to visit her in Phil? I dont have all the details, but it seems from your post that she doesn't have any interest or intentions of being with you as a wife, and if that is the case, you need to act before you get married and she becomes your responsibility financially and she can take half of what you have. I wish you luck and sorry to hear about your situation, but better to find out now before its too late. I would be more concerned about the emotional stress rather than the leagal issues, if your intentions to bring her here were valid, then you dont have to worry about fraud. But she may have to worry about that.
