I got my ROC approved last May 31st. Goodluck to those who are still waiting.

I remember when was waiting for the the other stages of this stuff - they would actually send the check to the bank and you could see a copy of it on line.

This time is like automatic debit - there is no check copy linked to the withdrawal on-line at my bank site. Plus the NOA number does not work on the usic site - think i need bio letter (??) for the number.

I hate when there is a holiday thrown in there

As stated on the NOA, you will use the number on the ASC appointment letter for you to be able to check the status of your case on the USCIS website. My NOA number starts with WAC as well as the ASC letter but the succeeding numbers were not the same.

Added ASC appt.

Yea I was nervous about getting my license here too. I didnt drive back home didnt need to. It took me two times I was crushed when I failed the first time! How are u liking ur job? What do u do? U are a trooper I wouldnt know what to do with myself being alone for that long im glad he is home for u now . We are holding off on a house even though I want one so bad. We are thinking of moving back to canada in a few years to be close to my family since my husband doesnt speak with his family here. It makes it more difficult. I have such a close family and leavong that was pretty tough

Failing the driving test was so awful it made me cry. But I'm still grateful I made it on the 3rd time and wouldn't have to take another written test. I am a clinical lab scientist. I worked in a hospital here in Northern CA for a year as per diem, then got a full time position in a reference laboratory under the same employer. I love what I do. At times it's stressful but I think all jobs can get tough sometimes so I am trying to hang in there and just breathe. My husband and I decided to get a house because we wanted to have our own place where we could live more comfortably. After I came here, we lived in an apartment for 13 months and during that time, there were unpleasant things that happened and by the end of our lease, we didn't get our refund, the management made us pay instead. Also, we are planning to live here in the US until we retire so we think it is reasonable to get our own place. Like you, I have a closely-knit family, my husband's, not as much, but they talk over the phone every now and then. My siblings are all here in the US so that's why I am not as home-sick, although me and my husband would definitely go back tto my hometown. It's our ideal place where we can enjoy retired life Goodluck on your plans. I hope it all works well for you and your hubby.

hi everyone,I am just a tad later then I wanted to be in getting this sent off (my expire date is 01/20 2013). I have everything ready to go. just wondering though the best way to send the package. can not remember for the life of me how I did it before. if you could remind me as to which is the best way to send - I would greatly appreciate the information.

Hi there. I sent my packet last week and USCIS received it 2 days after. I just used USPS Priority Mail with tracking information. And also please join us in the January '13 ROC filers thread. Just click on this link

http://www.visajourn...ry-filers-2013/

Goodluck!

Oh whoops it was january 4th

So since we are at this milestone I wanted to ask everyone how they are adjusting to life here? Im enjoying it minus the fact that I hate where I work and there are no other jobs here lol

Hey MeggyMo. My 21 months of living here in the US had been very challenging so far. A lot of things had happened and time went by so fast. As soon as I moved here, I applied for a license so that I would be able to practice my profession. I also learned how to drive, passed the written test at first take, yet it took me three times to pass the actual driving test. I was able to get a job and have been working for the same employer for 1 year and 3 months now. My husband had to leave me for 6 months because of deployment. Got a house while he was away and now he's back and he's with me again, it feels so much better.

I hope all of us will have an easier time dealing with USCIS again. I'll be praying for us all.

Adding NOA date, received it in the mail yesterday afternoon. No ASC (biometrics) appointment notice yet. Goodluck to all of us!

Awesome! Thanks. I didn't know there'a already an existing thread. Will join later

Hope everyone had a great time spending the holidays with loved ones. Me and my husband just sent our I-751 packet yesterday. If you are filing for Removal of Conditions this month, you should be part of this forum. We will share ideas, help and be there for each other as we deal with USCIS again. Let's hope all goes well smoothly for all of us.

He doesn't need to sigh the I-751 once he was deployed abroad. Read what USCIS said about that.

Q. My spouse is in the military and stationed or deployed abroad. Will U.S. Citizenship Services (USCIS) accept the Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (Form I-751) without my spouse’s (the petitioner’s) signature?

A. Yes. USCIS will accept the Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (Form I-751) without the petitioner’s signature if it is accompanied by the required evidence listed in the form instructions, along with evidence of the military member’s assignment abroad (such as a photocopy of the official orders or a letter from the military member’s commanding officer). Contact the Military Help Line at 1-877-CIS-4MIL (1-877-247-4645) to notify USCIS when your spouse (the petitioner) returns to the U.S.

Thank you very much for the response. It's a relief knowing that we still have things here and there to finalize before he leaves in a few days!

I see. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing well. I just have a quick question regarding I-751 Removal of Conditions form. According to the instructions, it should be filed jointly unless if the situation qualifies a waiver. Deployment is not one of those. I will be filing for ROC while my husband is gone. What would I do? Would a copy of his orders suffice this requirement? I would appreciate any of your feedback. I am also asking for this information not only for myself but also for a friend of mine so your information would help a lot. Thanks very much. Apologies if there had been a similar inquiry before.

yepey... thanks ms angeli :)thank you thank you mwah

Haha! You're welcome Goodluck!

Congratulations! Your visa is approved! I will be the one to say it since the CO didn't. I'm sure you passed the interview. Well done!

i would suggest to call USEM to resealed your yellow envelope to avoid some delays in your POE specially when you encounter a "not in the mood" IO and give you a hard time

Thank you for your opinion. I had been doing nonstop thinking about it and talked to my husband also and we both think that we didn't have much time to have it resealed because I am already scheduled to fly in 5 days. All I can do is just keeo the packet as secure and safe as not to cause more damage, be honest at the POE and pray.

I agree with several that you should not worry. The POE is the only point of concern and they should be able to tell the difference between handling damage and you tampering witht the packet. Besides you already have your ticket and there is no time for it to go back to the embassy.

Good luck.

You're right Tom. I have no control of this anymore so come what may. Besides, it's not me that is supposed to worry. It should be the courier or whoever ripped it My husband and I had an overwhelming paperwork submitted to USCIS and NVC. The thin yellow envelope had a hard time withstanding the thickness and motion while in transit.

Yes it depends on the visa categories. K visa technically falls under non-immigrant visa so the interview scheduling is done by the petitioner/applicant or their spouses/fiance(e). Immigrant visa such as yours are done by the NVC.

...except on expedited immigrant visa applications wherein the NVC will forward ASAP the case to the respective consulate and it's the responsibility of the petitioner/beneficiary to coordinate with the consulate in setting the interview date.

I heard someone here said that there was a schedule of visa printing last 3/24/11, so all visa approval that day and prior was printed... and most of us received it tuesday. I guess it's all depends on the date of visa printing which is erratic, in my case, i waited for 8 days, in Angel's case... it's just 5 days.

As for Angel... I don't think you should worry... immigration officer should know whats the difference between tearing due to handling, and intentional tearing. Goodluck on your journey on Monday!!!

I really hope so. I'm so tired of worrying already. As you can see in my timeline I had so many bumps I think I'm gonna burst if I failed on the very last step that is the POE. Thanks very much HarveyAndTheresa for your input. I don't feel that bad now.

What city did you have your Visa delivered to? That was very fast. How did you get it so quickly?

As far as the tear goes on the envelope, I suggest that you call the embassy and ask them and describe to them the extent of the tear. Anything after that is a guess and you are looking for facts. Sorry I can not help you more.

Congradulations on receiving your Visa. Our Visa is not in the 2go system yet.

I was surprised also but thankful that it didn't take very long but now I'm worried. Thanks for your input Tom. I will call the embassy tomorrow.

Hello Angeli, i am very happy that you are going to travel on Monday, my opinion is that in the worst case scenario they will just delay you at the POE but nothing bad is gonna happen, My prayers are with, but what do u mean reseal it ? like sending it back to the embassy to reseal the package again ?

Yes Sam, send it back to the embassy and have them transfer it to another sealed envelope and maybe I can just pick it up from them. I read old posts here on VJ that it can be done but it will take days or weeks. Not sure if it's possible in US Embassy in Manila though that's why I'm posting this in the Regional forum. Thanks Sam for your opinion.

Hi! I just received my passport and the sealed yellow envelope. I was able to read the instructions that the plastic clear pouch can be opened to get the passport but should NOT open the yellow envelope. The yellow envelope is open on it's one corner in a diagonal cut and I believe it should be that way. But I noticed that the side is ripped and there's another cut that goes down but not all the way. I cannot fully assess the extent of the cut because of the immigrant data summary sheet blocking its view. The damage may be due to handling while in transit because the plastic pouch was loose and didn't hug tight the yellow envelope. Someone could've picked it up on it's side tearing the yellow envelope inside. So I only made a small cut of the plastic, clear pouch on the top, opposite to the ripped portion of the yellow envelope, just enough for my passport to slide through. Then I put scotch tape to make the plastic pouch tight hoping it would protect the yellow envelope inside from additional cuts.

Now my problem is, I am scheduled to leave on Monday. It's in the instructions that torns on the yellow envelope can cause significant delay at the port of entry. These are my questions:

1. Should I have it re-sealed? Chances are it should take a couple of days. What should I do?

2. Do people at the airport inspect the visa packet? As I had describe above, I kept tried to keep it intact as possible. I wanted to show at the POE that all I did was cut the small slit on top of the plastic pouch and I didn't try to tamper the yellow envelope. If the security will open the plastic pouch, then I couldn't defend myself at the POE anymore.

Any advice/insights is very much appreciated. I am so worried.
