Congrats

just got a text from my mother, she's done with the interview and as expected she was APPROVED!

congarts!!!!!!!!

They e-mail the letter to both of us my wife printed out two. She used one for her medical and used the other copy at her interview yesterday.

Arrived at embassy at 5:30 am they allowed her in at 6:00 am. She had her appointment letter and used her NBI as ID.

By the way there was a service there that allows her to leave her cell phone for $150p.

Not sure of the times but process progressed as follows:

Went inside and received a number, when number was called she was finger printed and returned to her seat.

After about 20 min she was called for pre screening ( she called it Philippine interview) the inverviewer who was a Filipina had her sign the her ds 230 and asked;

What is your name?

Name of your petitioner?

What does he do for work?

Where does he live in the US?

How did you meet?

When did you last see him in person?

She ask for phone records, chat logs, western union receipts, and photos.

All this took about a 15 min.

Returned to her seat to wait her name to be called. Wait maybe 45 min and her name was called for the interview.

The CO was a woman who was very friendly she asked same questions as pre screener:

What is your name?

Name of your petitioner?

What does he do for work?

Where does he live in the US?

How did you meet?

When did you last see him in person?

Looked at the pictures then said the magic words "your visa is approved"

Entire interview was less than 5 min.

Then waited for what seemed like a long time. Her name was called she was given back her photos and a pink slip with her tracking number.

Called me to give me the news at 10:10 a.m.

hope i can bring the pink slip please pray for me thanks......

Just answer the simple questions honestly you should be fine. Congarts in advance .

Wife just called as she left the embassy. She was a approved She said the interviewer was very nice, only had a few simple questions. Those who have beed through this know how I feel. Those that are preparing for it good luck. If I can help I will.

Thank you that is a big help

I operate a business and I have just found out that I need to be here the day of my wife's interview. Does it make a great deal of difference in interview if the husband is there? I have not been in the Philippines in over a year and i wonder if that will be a red flag. All our pictures together would be from that trip. If I reschedule how far back will they move the appointment?

It's initially available in Metro Manila only. Maybe later on it will be made available for the provincial offices.

Thanks!

Does anyone know what to do for ID for a child. She is 6

The Appointment Letter is not ID. The Embassy requires photo ID for anyone to enter, thus the need for her NBI clearance or ID Card.

My wife went to the NBI office and was told they don't issue a ID card. Is this card only issued in Manila or the larger cities

HELLO VJ members,i would like to ask help from you...my problem is...I am going to visiit the Philippines 3 weeks from now...i came over here in K1 visa and my passport name is in my single name....When i go back here after a month of visiting from the Philippines...do i still need to use my passport?if i do...do i need to renew my passport?and change the last name into my married name? Your replies are highly appreciated....Thanks

You need to contact check with the Philippine Embassy. You will need to get a new passport but they will help you. I am not sure how fast they are though.

Wow indeed! She is looking at venues again this week...right now we have it tentatively planned for the Eagles View Hotel (Ceremony) and the CAP Auditorium (reception)...I might have that all reversed...so much going on right now

How did you like the Golden Palace?

[/

The services at the Golden Palace was excellent. I could go on and on about how great it was. They provided everything except my suit. What I liked most was I paid 1 price for everything. We had our wedding and reception both in the same hall.

can davao peepz join?

Sure same Neighborhood

My fiancee is near Tagum City....Purok 4 Santol La Filipina...we are getting married (June 17th) in Tagum City....

Wow!!! We were married there last year on June 19th at the Golden Palace!!!! Congrats in advance.

OPzzz I'm still in Tagum now where's the exact location of your wifey here?thnx

She lives in Suaybagio near St. Mary's

I am just curious. That is where my wife is now, we rent a house there. Hopefully not for long though.

Is that the any local civil registrar? Or his/her place of birth?

Yes they have a local registrar and her home town is not that far. She went to NSO today they told her to get a copy from the local registrar and bring it in.

So the BC is on the special NSO security paper? I know our marriage certificate is a little hard to read, but you can still make everything out.

yeah it is on NSO security paper. But it could be anyone certificate. Not one word is clear

My wife sent me her birth certificate with the NSO stamp. I can't read it at all. All the words are blurred Why would they even give this to someone I understand screw ups are very common at NSO. I would like to know if my wife has the original from the city where she was born, and we get a statement from NSO saying that this is the best copy (it says that on the document) will that be acceptable? Does anyone have experience with this?

We received a RFE on our daughters I 130 so we waited until I had the bill for both to pay for the AOS. After I paid for my wife I received a reciept that said that the AOS requirement was met for our daughter. I did not relaize that the receipt said that until I tried to pay our daughter's AOS bill. the system would not allow me to pay her invoice. I would like to know if anyone else has experinced this? Also does it work the same way on the IV bill? ( I shouhld be so lucky)

Thanks

Congrats

Received the RFE today for my daughter. They want a copy of the birth certificate, which I sent with the original application The RFE says that both parents name should be on the birth certificate but it says unknown for the farther. So I am writing a letter explaining that if the parents are unmarried, and the farther does not take responsibility for the child they put unknown for his name.

Thanks everyone I feel much better now. I am sure Fe will when I tell here. VJ is a great resource because of participation from members like all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was this her first time to get an NBI clearance? If so, it is pretty normal. Mhay's nanay applied the same day that she did...Mhay got hers (she had NBI clearance a couple of times) and Nanay didnt..she had to go back today to get it. Of course there seemed to be someone else using her name for bad, so she had extra steps...but A LOT of people were being told to come back in 2 weeks when we went to get Mhay's NBI.

Yes this is her first time get needed a NBI. I told her that she should not worry, buy any delay at this point makes her worry.

Thanks everyone

My wife said when she went to get her NBI today they told her to come back in 2 weeks. Any body ever heard of this? She said the problem she could think of would be a old cell phone bill. Would that show up on a NBI report. She does have a name that is common in th Philippines.

######!!! I AM REALLY SORRY TO HEAR THAT!!!!! I hope it is something simple !!!!

That is my plan to clear up the RFE, then submit information for both to NVC at the same time
