We got same problem ..we did send our packet i 485 in laguna niguel ca,instead of chicago..we did call uscis to follow up..my problem is this,,,,, its already 2 months we didnt receive any letter or confirmation from them yet ... ,since we did send in a wrong location...the USCIS cant allow us to apply another application cos someone told us from there in uscis that we need to wait the return mail packet...we did send last march 11 2011 until now we didnt receive any,,,if i will re apply again i will pay for another medical ..because the medical i have now is not sealed.

Anyone know if it is possible to get the "Sealed Medical" stuff again, I am going to start building my package today, just in case.

I assume I just go back to same doctor and pay again and get it.

Dear VJ Friends,

I sent my AOS Packet last March 11, 2011 address to USCIS Laguna, Niguel CA instead of Chicago Lockbox because I got confused or maybe I overlooked the instructions & informations here in VJ. Anyone here can help me on what should I do or what will happen to my AOS documents. Is USCIS Laguna, Niguel CA will still process my papers or they will reforward it to Chicago Lockbox or return it to me??

Any advise or informations that you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!

Tina

Hi all,

I want to know what is the best practice to avoid any administration error or typo on NVC case number.

Take USA2010502005 for example, it represents NVC case created on 1/2/2010 for 5th case for consulate USA.

As you can see, there are many zeros and one can make mistake when typing or reading this number. What's your recommendation? USA-2010-502-005?

202-663-1225 i used that one

:unsure: :unsure: what do you mean denied? no one is denied in k1 category ,unless he got petition in his past that he didnt cancel it...if the consul gave him a blue slip.it means they want another papers to submit it but not denied...or maybe he did a wrong answer about the question from the consul...im sorry for that...its really upset i know...ask another request to review the petition...its really sad for both of you i know...but dont worry you will both ok im sure...just ask another interview request...

shes a ###### ######! i am sorry,its really sad because we are filipina also,but i just want you to know that not all filipinas are like your ex wife...i dont believe that she did that...she is a user user ! im sorry...just pray jhonny...

It's been almost 4 months since my last post on VJ. Mainly I've just been too embarrassed by recent events with my marriage and upcoming divorce. I'm mainly posting this story so others in this situation can learn and use this to help protect themselves from these horrible things that DO happen to good people. Some folks here know that I've been through the K1 process earlier this year and brought my fiancé over from the Philipines. I won't go into the Visa process as it was very quick and effortless thanks to experts here on VJ, but here's what happened after she arrived in the US:

We were originally planning to be married a month after her arrival but her family began freaking out about her living with me (in Sin) for a month and they said we need to be married immediately or my fiancé needs to live with relatives Las Vegas until the wedding. After much arguing and disagreeing, we decided to get married on May 15…about 12 hours after her arrival in the US. She had a very controlling aunty that lived in Las Vegas and we lived in San Diego. Her aunt was ultimately a big player in our separation. Exactly 6 days after our marriage, my wife found some old photos of me and some old girlfriends on my laptop. She immediately began yelling at me and then locked herself in the bedroom and called her aunt. Two hours later her aunt sent a cousin to come pick her up and take her to Vegas. I tried talking to her and telling her this was in my past, I'm sorry I forgot to delete old photos…nothing could change her attitude. Her aunt was even worse as I tried talking to her and telling her that we are having our first argument and she needs to just let us handle this on our own. Her aunt began yelling at me a cursing me out and telling me that I have no place in telling her what to do with her niece.

So, my wife is whisked away in the middle of a Friday night and taken to Las Vegas to stay with her aunt. For nearly a week she refused to talk to me and called me lots of bad names and such. Then a friend of mine emailed me about a profile on this dating website that looks like my wife. I had suggested that he try looking at the website Filipinaheart for his match (because that's where I met my wife). Sure enough, it was her and she had a profile posted using the photos of her taken during our wedding (of course minus me)! I made copies of the profile and saved them in PDF format. I was at work and immediately became emotional and just made it to my car before I broke out in tears. I got home and called my parents as they were coming to San Diego in two days to meet my wife and my daughter was coming to San Diego the following day. I told my parents the whole story because I wasn't sure my wife would be there to meet them and I figured they should know the scoop. Then I sent a few text messages to my wife and she knew that I was pretty upset and that I knew about her profile on the dating site. I told her I was filing for a divorce the following week and that I hope she finds her "Knight in Shining Armor" which was her profile's statement. She tried talking to me but I just hung up the phone. Her aunt called me later and tried talking and I said it's over. Her aunt apologized and said she didn't know her niece was doing this, she said her niece told her that we were talking and getting along and she was coming back home to me soon. A side note: while I'm talking to her aunt, I can hear singing in the background….happened to be my wife singing Karaoke. Pretty distraught huh? I even told her aunt, wow sounds like my wife is really taking this badly. Her aunt said, she's just having fun! And said "don't start thinking bad." I told her aunt I can't deal with this any longer and that it just isn't going to work and I told her goodbye and God Bless. Five hours later at 1 am, there's a knock on my door and it's my wife and her aunt. Her aunt dropped her off and said you guys need to work this out.

So we talked and decided to try to make it work again. I went to get my daughter the following day in Denver. I have a beautiful 8 year daughter. We both arrived back in San Diego that evening and we all went out for dinner. My wife and my daughter really got along well. My mom and dad showed up the following day. My mom agreed to be nice to my wife. My mom was not happy about my wife leaving me 6 days after the wedding for something as trivial as old pics on a laptop and then posting her profile on a dating site. BTW my wife said she only posted on that site because she was bored and wanted someone to talk to…..I said…well you could have talked to your husband instead of ignoring my calls.

She remained with me for three more weeks asking me on a daily basis to do her AOS. I told that we'll do it when we have more money and when we know it's right. Of course my mom/dad and daughter were all there on vacation as well. My wife seemed to change from the person I met in the Philippines. She spent ALL her time on the computer chatting with friends and doing her Facebook thing. Of course her Facebook had her listed as single and there was no mention or anything of me on there. She would lock herself in the bathroom for hours with the laptop and would be chatting with friends. About the second week, I was sitting on the sofa with her and I looked over on the laptop and noticed her chatting with a guy on that dating site. I said….whoa whoa whoa…not in my house you don't and I closed the laptop and said..No you don't not in front of me. I told her if that's her game then she needs to go back to her aunt's house because I don't want a wife talking with other guys on a dating site. We began arguing after that episode and at one point she called me a "stinky old man" in front of my daughter. My daughter said "daddy you don't stink, why did she say that?" I had to explain to my daughter that she was just being mean to her dad. She left on Jun 28. A week after she left, I notified ICE and sent them copies of that dating profile I saved, and copies of the original wedding photos she used for her profile. I gave them a complete write-up of events to date and gave them a copy of the divorce papers I filed in court. A very nice ICE agent from Las Vegas contacted me and told me that this appeared to be fraud and it appeared that it was a marriage of convenience. She said this is very common. She advised me to forget about the girl and please send them the final divorce decree when I get it so they can put her into removal proceedings.

That was in July, I have since moved to New Orleans and have taken a great job here and I'm trying to start a new life and forget this past summer. Three weeks ago I received a call from,,,guess who? Apparently she called me and wanted to know if I would "help" her adjust her status. I said no, I can't do that because we are not living together and I filed for divorce and ohhh BTW I haven't heard from her in 3 months!! She then asked me what's my plan? I said huh?? She said well…for her? I said I have no plans for you other than not seeing you again. She said that her and her aunty applied for AOS without my sponsorship and she said all they need from me is to sign the sponsor papers. Wow! I said uhhh NO! Well apparently, since they filed for adjustment, the USCIS now gave her 87 days to secure my signature or else her AOS will be denied which will be on November 20, 2010. And her last words to me 3 months earlier were "we got what we needed from you, we don't need you anymore." Well, after our conversation, I contacted the ICE agent in Vegas and she didn't know about them filing AOS because sometimes the inter agencies don't communicate well between each other and then she said it just makes their case look more and more fraudulent by knowingly applying for status without the petitioner's involvement.

So, two days go by and I get a phone call from this guy. He apparently is her boyfriend in San Diego she is living with him and he is asking me to do her sponsorship. He said if I care for her I'll do this for her! I said what??? Some %$# nerve for a boyfriend to call the husband.. and then I refused and he said…well then divorce her so he can marry her and she can stay in the US. I said…it doesn't work like that dude but I am divorcing her. And told him good luck. Again, I contacted the ICE agent and she was shocked at the events and told me that everything to date that I have provided her is part of my wife's "A" file. She said, she wishes more people would look beyond their hearts and notify ICE sooner when these problems first start. Her reasoning to me was; typically what will happen is the beneficiary will become desperate and begin an abuse claim (VAWA) as it's usually the last ditch effort to stay in the US. And this is ususally the first time Immigration is even aware of a problem with the marriage. The unsuspecting USC is not even notified during a VAWA action and is never even given a chance to enter the other "side." She said, most times the USC doesn't even know a VAWA case was filed against them and said it was something to do with protecting the abuse victim. She said that in my case, there's more than ample evidence and data entered into her "A" file and that will all be reviewed during any possible VAWA action. She said if there's ever a VAWA case started; the first thing the adjudicator asks for is the "A" file. Again, she commended me on keeping them informed and recommended I try to forget this experience and move on with my life. The ICE agent told me that it will be extremely difficult now for my wife to fabricate a convincing VAWA story that will stick without any very convincing evidence.

So, there's my story. Also...I was kind of disappointed that it looks like ICE doesn't really go after Visa-dodgers but rather they wait for them to eventually show up and then catch them and deport them. The agent told me in some cases they do go after these folks depending on the circumstance. I really appreciated everyone's helping me try and realize the dream and it was really just my fault for not paying attention to early red flags in this relationship. I have moved-on and have re-kindled an old flame, who until recently, I didn't know even cared for me so much.

yes she might needs that because in the Philippines 18 yrs old are allowed to get married in the Philippines shes not a minor anymore other than if below 18 they can still marry but with the consent of their parents for ur 7 years old and for ur daughter too they need to bring their school records stating what level are they now/presently and Pls read the post and my reply to jrmejia fork1/k2 thanks and Godbless and have a nice day ahead:D

Do I need to present a CENOMAR for my 18-year old daughter during the interview? And what other does she need to present during the interview aside from NBI and police clearances? Do I have to bring her school records? And what about my 7 years old son too? what are his requirements aside in his bcert? please help....

Once the visa is issued you have 6 months to enter the US. Once you've entered the US you have 90 days to get married and file for AOS.

Hello Guys,

Once the embassy approved and issued a K1 visa, how long it will expire? Because I was worried that after my interview it will takes time before I can move to US for some reasons.

Need your help pls. I was very worried and confused..Thanks!!

thanks for the information that you shared ...it really helps to me....theres no problem regarding the documents that i need for my kids..again thank you very much for sharing,,MAY GOD BLESS YOU...

My wife (then fiancee) had two kids who were applying for K2 visas. One was 19. The other was going to turn 18 three weeks after the interview.

The kids are required to attend the interview. My wife's kids stood at the window with their mother, but the CO didn't ask them any questions. Some people say that the CO did ask the kids questions, usually whether they knew anything about the person their parent was about the marry.

Except for the DS-156K, K2's need pretty much the same documents as K1's. Forms, birth certificates, passports, police reports, medical exam, vaccinations, etc. Same fees, as well. If they are under 18 then they may need a quit claim from the non-immigrating parent, depending on the rules in that country. My step-daughter needed a letter from her biological father, even though she was going to turn 18 in a few weeks.

One additional requirement is you'll need proof that they are your biological children. In some countries, a birth certificate alone is enough. In many countries you'll need considerably more than that. In some countries the birth records are unreliable, and a birth certificate containing practically any information you want can be had for a little cash under the table. School records, baptismal records, household register books, pictures of the parent with the child growing up, etc. are all good evidence. In the most extreme case, they may ask for a DNA test. You'd be surprised how many people try to piggyback a cousin or younger sibling as a K2.

Hello to all VJ members,

I would to ask if anyone here who has same case as mine, that has a child age 17 or 18 yrs old. that were included in your K2 visa application??

Also I would like to know if they will also be interviewed by consul at the embassy and what are the required documents needed?? or if you have any experiences can you share it to me please.

Many thanks & I will appreciate your reply and comments!!!

Hey guys

Its 8 months now since my NOA1 , For sure after 6 months were up and no response my wife have made inquiries to see why my case is taking long , They said that they are only waiting for the background check so they can make a decision and it takes up to 180 days,in July they've sent me another NOA called Replacement receipt and it says that USCIS confirms me that they received my case O.O !!! They just received my case?????.anyways in the first of Augest my wife have contacted her Congressman and he and said that he believes that its taking too long and he is making inquiries for us and will let us know if they heard anything.....10 days after ....Congressman didn't hear anything from USCIS...20 more days....they still didn't hear anything and if they heard anything they will let us know.its been a month now.

My questions are,

1-How long does it take for Congressman to respond to USCIS?

2-Should we contact the senator ?

3-Can my lawyer do anything?

4-Can my wife meet someone there or make "infopass" appointment ?

5-Its about 50 days since they told me to wait 180 days for background check ,How long do you think its gonna take for a response ?

6- What would you do if you were me guys?

Any advice will be Appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance .

Sam
