J.W.

Hi my parents petitions are approved and USCIS are forwarding it to NVC. What should I do next?

I've read that I should registered an email to NVC and put in their case number. How do I go about this? They haven't got a case number yet from NVC. What I do have are their receipt case number that start with WAC***, is that the one I should registered in NVC or is it the case number NVC will be giving soon?

Will I registered my email? or my parent's emails?

How do I registered the emails? Should I email NVC at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov or calling them at this Tel#: (603-334-0700) is preferable?

Hope someone could help/answer me about this. Thanks...

Thank you JW.

So if i understand well, if I am just filing for my mum, my parents marriage certificate is not required?

Secondly did you submit photocopies along side I 130 or originals?

Thank you in advance

Yes, just BC. And I only sent the photocopies.

But really they just change this just recently. It took them how many years before they could update their system, I guess.

Hi all, I hope someone can help me with this...

My parents got married twice the first is Civil after I was born they had their Chruch Wedding. Now when they got their NSO copy of their Marriage Certificate it was their Church Wedding that they release. So that's what I sent to USCIS. And then they went to NSO again to ask for extra copies bec they only got one original copy of their NSO marriage contract and they gave them the Civil Wedding. They said they change their rules already, they will only release the first activity of their wedding which happens to be their Civil Wedding. Now the papers I sent to USCIS will not coincide with the other extra copies they gave. What should we do with these? Any suggestions? Will a official letter from NSO stating that their rules have change and only the first wedding will be given will be okay to submit to USCIS? Or should they have a lawyer notarize a letter stating that the one submitted was a Church Wedding date and the copy we got now is their Civil Date. Also there's a bunch of mistype on their Civil Wedding NSO copy. My mom's middle initial is type O instead of C but when my mama sign her signature, she sign her middle initial as C. The name of my mother's mother(which is my grandma) is different too, her Birth Certificate says S____a same with the Church Wedding copy but the Civil Wedding copy states that it's P____a. My dad's age was mistype too, they put age 23 when he is 20 yrs old that time. Please HELP!!!! What should we do???

Note: The NSO copy of Marriage Contract (Chruch Wedding) was requested on 2003. There's no validity on these copies. My father also asked them before if they had their Civil Wedding record there and shouldn't it be the one they get since it was filed first. But the one he talk to at that time said they have no copy of their Civil Wedding. Now after 30 years their Civil Wedding is now on filed and since it was the first wedding, that's what they gave them now.

Just sent my application for both of my parents on March 22, 2010. USCIS got it March 23, 2010 and they our NOA notice date is March 31, 2010. It's in CSC.

Raj456, In addition to I130, my proof of citizenship, what else is required (do i have to sent passport size pictures of myself and for my mum too).

Thank you very much in advance

What I submitted for proof of relationship, is my Birth Certificate with my mother's name on there. My marriage certificate, proof that I change my name. My mother's birth certificate, proof that Mrs.___ is really her. My parents' marriage certificate(for father's petition, proof that I'm legally his daughter) and some photos of me and my parents. That's it...I don't know if there needs to be more.

Yes put you A# in question 10. Then N/a for question 14(because you're no more a LPR). Then question 14b is NO. I file I130 for my spouse and those are that's how I filled out my own section. Everything was successful and she is now here whick means i did it correctly.

Good luck

Thanks, About 14b..when I become a LPR before it was through marriage then I naturalize. So should I answer YES? Will that confuse that answer for 14 which is N/A? Or should I put NO bec I'm a citizen now? That's why I'm so confuse with this forms bec they worded their forms very tricky. I know to use common sense but my mind is fighting around it because I want to file this petition correctly to avoid any RFE. Thanks again...

Hi I'm sending in my petition for my parents. But I have a quick question for the I-130. 1.) Should I put my A# in question #10? 2.) On question #14 it ask about being my lawful permanent residency, on the date and place of my admission and on question 14b. If I attain my LPR in marriage or not. Here's the thing I already Naturalize, so am a US citizen. Am just confuse because of course when I arrived here I was first a LPR before I turn US citizen. Should I still answer #14 & 14b with the old info of my LPR before or not, (and just right N/A on it) since I'm a US citizen now? TIA!

Thanks Raj456, I really appreciate your time answering my questions. Bless you...

C. #17 (on the i130 for your mom) your dad's name, and your siblings (if any)

(on your I130 for your dad, your mom's name and your siblings (if any)

also check out the sample form under "Example Forms" on the home page of VJ for your guide

Only siblings? Or do you have to list yourself together as part of their sons/daughter with your brother and sisters too?

Oh, and regarding the DS-3032(Choice of Agent) and I-864 (affidavit of support), do I submit one of each for my parents? Or is one DS 3032 and I-864 covers for the both of them?

TIA!

Hi I'm about ready to submit my parents petition but I have some questions, Please help.

1.) When you petition your parents, aside from FORM I-130 do you include Form G-325A for each of your parents and yourself or not?

2.) Am I right to understand that you don't file the FORM I-485 (AOS) with the fee of $1050 each together with their I-130 since they are not currently inside US? You only file these if they already in US, right? The DS-3032 & AOS fees for them is $70 each and not the $1050 each if they are currently residing in their own country, right?

3.) Am I also right to understand that the order of the process in petitioning your parents is this:

a. File I-130 together with $355 fees each

b. NVC case will be assigned then afterwards when it's approved.

c. Mail DS-3032 (Choice of Agent) and Pay $70 each for AOS

d. Mail I-864 Affidavit of Support (Need clarification: Do I need to mail this together with the DS 3032 or separate? Wait till I get to pay AOS and the IV fee Bill?)

e. IV fee Bill generated and then paid $400 each

f. Mail DS 230

g. And so if you try to Log In and you can't, that means USCIS/NVC is doing a final review of your case?

h. Case Complete

i. Medical then Interview

j. Visa granted yey!

Thank you all, I'm just about ready of sending them out.

Thanks for this! Was able to use it....espcially it's almost March after a few hours.

tried the code didnt work now.

UPDATE: (You can update mine) Hi just received a letter yesterday for my oath taking shedule and it will be this Feb 25, 2010. Yess!! Finally I'll be finished with this. Now, for my parents turn. :-\

happyxoomyear it works i used it today.

Thanks for this! Just send today and it works!!!

I envision one of those large USPS express mail packages containing two separate envelops, your covering letter, and your check paper clipped to that. Your letter can state that these petitions should not be separated. Arranging the interview will come later, and is up to the consulate.

As to the medicals, the US is concerned only with communicable diseases.

Good luck.

Thanks, I haven't thought of putting a letter not to separate their papers. Good one! Noted...

I think the combination of worry of sis and pressure of his daughter, in law and what the hubby text really did it! Seems like he's not over his ex.

*my filipina wife is not happy here in the usa she is critical of everything around her my friends my family dont get me wrong we do love each other and she is a good wife in the sense of her duties at home of cooking cleaning etc. but nothing seems to make her happy more than a week at a time we live in a small town no other filipinas close to us for her to have as a friend but so many woman here have tryed to makes friends with her she is not interested at all makes no attempt to be social at all an is jealouse of everyone that is close to me including my mom and my daughter so i decided to send my wife back to philippines for a visit for us to take a break from this marriage we have been married 5 months i miss her very very much but last nite even tho we are still so far away from each other when we are chatting she gets the bad attitude with me again i cant take it anymore its not worth it im done i guess my question is now that she is in philippines how do we o about getting a divorce .*

Hi everybody i just want to clarify things that he had posted. Im his wife... He really doesnt understand my feelings and situation.. On the frist place he knows that my sister is sick and she is treated here in manila for 18 mos.. Everything in manila is expensive.. I ask him heartily if he can help my mom financially coz it is needed..he said of course.But since theres a global crisis and he has no overtime he stop sending money and i understand.. If i got a job in there i wont ask him to support my family.. I am not expecting that i will become a princess when i got there in usa.. I am a hardworker person..And its not my attitude to depend on someone if i know i can make it on my own. But because his place is a small town,, car is needed and he cant afford to buy a car for me coz he still paying for his car loan, so i cant find ways to find a job.. I dont demand him for financial.. He knows i just stayed at home taking care of him and her 18 yrs old daughter like cleaning her room, wash her clothes, fix her bed etc etc.. His daughter decided to live with us when i get there.. He said im not socializing with his friends and family? WHY he say that? Him and his friends, nieces, nephews used to hang out in a bar drinking , etc.. Do u think this is the right place for the married couple to hang out? He just think of his hapiness and ignore what makes me happy. I mean he married me he should focus his attention with me coz im all alone there and the place is boring.. He cant even invite me goin to watch a movie till i say so.. Do u think u will be happy stayin at home 24 hrs? I never ask him money to buy something for myself coz i understand him..i just wait till he ask what i need for my personal. I decided to get back home because of his mom and the text ive read in his fon.. His mom is bitchin me in fon telling that i am stupid bla bla bla.. So i call him at work telling that his mom is bitchin on me.. I cried like a baby coz i know i didnt do wrong.. I told him i deserve to be bitchin if they caught me cheating.. ive read his send messages to his daughter tellin his daughter that i miss ur mom, just thinking of her.. who among of the wives wont get jealous of this messages??

Anyways, its his decision to file a divorce.. Its his loss ..

Well, that explains it!

A job really helps like what van2006 said. For me, it's hard especially the first year of marriage, asking money to your husband. I'm so use of earning my own money and even while still in the PI and we were dating I feel secure if I pay my share too. It makes me crazy when I got here we're just living in a one bedroom apartment (really a bachelor pad; don't even have any kitchen stuff and utensils imagine cutting a really big chunk of meat with a very dull butterknife), I can't go out because I still haven't got a license here and didn't know I could use my PI license until I got my DL here, don't have friends (though I got a sister who is in a different state that call me up sometimes, which helps a bit), our internet is dial up (as oppose to when I was in PI we got a broadband internet at home). I remember I clean the apartment twice or thrice already in a day, prepare the food to distract me out of my melancholy and still feel so bad because I can't seems to get out of my loneliness. So everytime my husband came home, I'm dress to go out. Even when he's tired from work I force him out 'coz I'm about to climb the walls!!! I feel like picking a fight with him. I don't enjoy shopping much (that time at least he-he ;D Now I do!) because I always convert the price to pesos and it's too expensive to buy. But when he introduce me to the PUBLIC LIBRARY, I fell in love!!! Hehehe I love to read books, just like my husband and I could have live there. I just about horde every books of my favorite authors I could find. Bad thing was you can only check out 15 books. I was done reading that after a week and a half. This is what kept me sane plus I got a job. Sure, it takes time for you to get one like 6 months to a year but that's how it is usually (more so now even). So, if your wife has some hobby like reading books, sewing etc. that might help her. Chatting with the family back in PI helps too! I hope both of you can work this thing out, divorce after 5 months of marriage is just not the solution. Good luck!

Wow...I cried while reading your post. And I got goosebumps. It seems like he stayed one last time to have his last day with you. Also, it's like he is your graudian angel that you arrive safely here in US. My condolence to you Daisy, may your uncle's soul rest in peace.

I have a question about how you file your petition on both parents. I know it should be separate but how do you mail it? In separate envelopes too? And separate checks? Or can I mail it in one envelope with 2 different folders and 2 different checks? How will they know that both petition should be together? If I send them separate envelopes? Does it happens that one got their NOA/Packet/interview first than the other or not at all? Do they interview them together? Can you request that both of them should be together during interviews? Or it's up to the consul if he/she wants to interview them together or not? How about in medical test, if one of them has diabetis or high blood pressure, will that grounds for failing the medical test? Do they suggest that they should have their blood pressure or blood sugar manage first or on normal level before they will gave them an interview date? Or is it still the same that they gave you your date for your medical test and interview date? And you can go a week earlier to your medical exam before the assign date?

I haven't yet send in their application, I'm still in the process of gathering infos, steps, experienced and what to expect during the petition so I could prepare and organized all better before giving it a go.

I hope people here can help answer my q's. TIA!

Congrats to all new mommies!!! Na excite naman ako kahit naglulurk lang ako dito magbasa. Upload your pics, so we could see the babies...

I submitted the first sets of documents mid-July this year.

We received the medical/interview notice on 11.28.2009 so it took 4.5 months.

Interview is set for early January 2010, so 6 months total.

Yes, your husband can co-sponsor and/or other family members.

Good luck Ma'am.

Thanks so much....Appreciate it!
