Well...how did you know to get as far as you already have?

I recommend the guides.

JUST BEING VERY CAREFUL. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I AM NOT READING TOO MUCH INTO THE DIRECTIONS.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

I PAID THE AOS FEE ONLINE AND SENT IN THE AOS ALONG WITH ALL THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. WE ALREADY SENT IN THE CHIOICE OF AGENT AS WELL. MY QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. WILL I GET ANOTHER BILL IN THE MAIL FOR THE VISA FEE. ONCE I PAY THE VISA FEE DO I NEED TO SEND THE DS-230 AND ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO NVC OR IS THIS SOMETHING SHE BRINGS TO THE INTERVIEW?

I just curious which airlines is cheaper and which one does international flights from manila?(Not including Delta)

I would check out Korean airlines. They were fantastic.

GOOD EVENING!

got this from the embassey site on K visa: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3204.html

STEP 3: The applicant is notified: When the Embassy receives the approved petition from the NVC, it notifies the applicant of the medical examination and visa interview.

Starting March 19, 2008, those applying for K-1, K-2, K-3 and K-4 visas who have been notified by the Embassy to prepare for their interview can call 1-909-101-7878 (within the Philippines) to schedule an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy. The cost of the 909 service is U.S. $0.98 per minute; this amount will be charged to your telephone bill.

Applicants, Agents or Petitioners calling from within the United States will also be able to use this service by calling 1-888-877-9888. The cost of the 888 service from the United States is a U.S. $18 PIN payable using a Visa or MasterCard once you have called into the service.

Applicants or their representatives must have the applicant’s Immigrant Case Number as given in the Embassy notification letter available when they call to schedule an appointment.

Callers can speak with an English or Tagalog speaking operator. The service is available to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, Manila local time.

NVC Automated Voice Response Service

So your I-130 petition has been approved and forwarded to NVC

Now you are wanting to know if it has been received and a case number assigned

You can use your CIS (NOA) receipt number from your approval to find out.

On calling the NVC automated voice response number (603) 334-0700 you will.... press 1 for English press 2 for Spanish

press 1 for information about your immigrant visa

It will then ask you if you know your CIS receipt number.....press 1

(Once you have a case number you can use this.....press 2)

You then follow the instructions to key in your number.

If will then tell you if NVC has received the petition, and assigned a number.

This automated service is available 24/7.

Once you have your case number you can call them at any time to hear any updates on your case, using either the NVC case number or your CIS (NOA) receipt number.

I found out my wife has been unfaithful to me. It happened right when I finished with the NVC. I now wish to get a divorce and I don't know where to start. Can you help me out please? Thanks.

is she in the states or in Thailand? If she is not here then jsut terminate the visa process.

The new cost is $400 (355+45) $45 is a security charge. This is what i see on Islamabad embassy's website:

So I am taking a week to go visit Josephine I arrive on Sunday 3/28. I know only a week!! unfortunately the company I work for gives me 3 weeks 1 week at a time and did not approve my request for an extra unpaid week.

We will be going on Monday to Cebu the plan is to visit the graves of her parents and where she was raised. We will also visit her younger sister and 2 brothers.

We will be there 3 nights returning to Cavite on Thursday after noon.

my problem is I want to make our evenings as romantic as possible; here is what I want to do.

1. I have a prepared statement to read when at her parents grave site asking for their blessing on our future marriage a friend is translating to Tagalog

(This is a surprise; do you think it would make her happy and is there any advice on what I should say?)

2. I want to pick a nice hotel to stay in and pamper her such as visits to spas (this is also a surprise)

3 I want to have romantic dinners with her each night maybe a club to dance

4 She has us roaming around on Wednesday visiting a few sites like the Chinese temple, Magellan's church etc

The big problem is places like Plantation Bay are quite far from the city and I don't know of any hotels in the city that offer Spa treatments or the service you get from places like that.

Any ideas or comments are appreciated.

suggestions on hotels greatly welcome or places to take her to.

Thanks

My wife and I stayed at the Crown Regency Hotel in Fuente Osmeña and found it a very nice place to be. They hava a great spa and I recommned the couples treatment. We were pampered like royalty.

I also stayed at the parklane hotel and it was pretty nice as well. Parklane is close to the big mall in Cebu. Book these hotels online.

Hello All,

Hoping that someone is in a similar situation that may have guidance or clues as to what's next during the I-130 process.

I mailed our I-130 Spouse petition on 1-28-2010 and received NOA1 on 2-10-2010.

Per USCIS.gov they state that it should be expected to recieve an appointment within 30 days for biometrics, getting close to the 30 day mark without any notice and was wondering what are the normal wait times for those who have filed from the Texas area.

If anyone has a good timeline to follow it would be much appreciated so we can both ease our minds about the ranges in time we've seen browsing the net (6 months to 2 years).

Also if this helps "Saw that there's a big difference between Permanent Residents/US Citizens' wait times when filing", I was born a US Citizen 'Fil/Am' and she's a Filipina.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John

You will need the receipt number from NOA-1.

Good luck

I am aware of all of that, but by the time this visa is done, We would have more than 2,000 dollars. the thing that worries me is i am not above the poverty line, and i cant get a co-sponsor so i am left in limbo. feeling helpless

why don't you see if you can immigrate to his country.

hey guys, i need ur help!!it's more for people who are filing in US embassy in manila. i had a few questions to ask u guys. how much do we need to spend all together?? i know u need to pay $131 at any BDO branch for the visa processing fee and $213.35 for medical. is there any other fees to be paid aside from these two?? i'm just confused. my fiance went to an agency to get a quote of how much he will need all together and they told him he'll be needing approx. 42,000 pesos, which is approx $930. it seems like it doesn't add up to me. they were also saying we need to pay some kind of US tax for $180. and other charges. i don't know. it just seems like too much money. is this a scam?? sorry to bother u all with these questions. hope someone could help me. thank u so much =)

131.00 for i-130

400.00 for visa app

75.00 for AOS processing

213.35 for medical

10.00 for visa delviery (give or take a couple of dollars)

my total is: $796.00 for I-130

Different total for K3 visa, alot more for K3 in the long run and alot more paper work.

Hello Vjers,

I read some conflicting notes about what the counsular needs regarding a divorce decree. I am a USC petitioner and my finace CO is Egypt. I have been divorced for 7 years and all I have a copy of the divorce decree. VSC just sent us our NOA2 but I heard the CO in Egypt requests for a "certified copy of divorce decree." What do I have to send my fiancee for her interview? And what do they mean by "certified copy"?

You assitance is very much apprecaited.

HandA

I went to the the courthouse and asked for a copy. It took two weeks and to certify it cost 10 dollars.

Make sure you get 2 or 3 copies while your there.

My Fiance child was denied a Visa because of lack of documents.

I hope this helps. You can check out alot of web sites for this info. Check out visa pro.

Does anyone know what documents are needed for the son on a K1 Visa? Also what medical documents are needed for the child? The child is under 6.

I checked everywhere on the site but found nothing?

All my Fiance documents are good, but they said the son requires more documentation. My Fiance was not sure which documents.

Could anyone please help?

Document requirements for K-2 Visa:

The documents to be submitted for applying for K2 visa are same as that for a K1 visa. While filing the application for K-2 visa, the applicant should submit the following documents-

•A valid passport (not needed if child is under 16);

•A copy of the child's official birth certificate issued by the Registrar of Births. The birth certificate of the child should disclose the date/place of birth and names of his/her parents;

•Evidence of relationship such as letters, photographs which demonstrates that you have a legitimate relationship with the person who has petitioned for you;

•Evidence of support which demonstrates that you or your children will not become a public charge in the United States. Submit a completed Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support) to prove that your sponsor has sufficient financial resources;

•Evidence of termination of prior marriage such as death certificate, divorce decree;

•Military record: you must obtain your record of military service, if applicable and obtainable;

•Police certificate: police certificates are required for every applicant aged 16 or over

my suggestion is to look up vacation rentals. I have found that you usually can rent a good condo for half the price of hotels. You have the option to do alot more by renting a good condo because you can cook your own meals and do your own laundry. Most usually have a maid come around twice a week and change the sheets and clean. The ones I rented have security guards at the entry and a receiption in the lobby.

here are some links
