great

thank you

Hi,

i don't know if its a problem or not. here is my question. my wife came last October, so its been 3 months only shes been in the country. we have a her father just passed away in the Philippines. is she allowed to go back home for a couple of week and come back to the U.S. is there a process we have to take to get approvel for us to go. or is it as easy as getting tickets to go and come back...

thanks...

my wife had here interveiw yesterday and thank the lord she was approved. But also once again I would like to THANK THE FINE PEOPLE HERE ON VISAJOURNEY, i could not have gone through this process without your help, now let me repay people here by helping them with their journey.

the interview went great. the guy was really nice, from what i heard. he did ask alot of questions about my family, like where both my parents work and what they did (i thought that was kinda weird). then he asked my wife where i worked and what i did. where we met. when and where did we go on our fist date. the normal questions i guess. he didn't ask for any paper work just for photos, wedding pics really. and it was done. he told my wife to wait for the visa in a about a week...

I REALLY CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH

THANK YOU THANK YOU

No additional fees, before or after the interview, are required.

Good luck with the interview! We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

Thanks You Very Much

My Wife had her IR-1 interview yesterday in Manila. She did not have to pay any additional fee's at the embassy. Good luck......................

oh really,

Thanks....

so how did your wife do on her interview? if you don't mind me asking...

my wifes interview is tomorrow at the US Embassy in Manila. i hope she has everything. i just want to say thank you to the folks here in VISA JOURNEY. you people have been a VERY VERY big help.

but i have one more thing to ask:

is there any fees my wife has to pay for before or after the interview?

AND AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH......

Hello fellow journeyers,

Well my wife’s interview is set for September 8th in Manila. I was just wondering, what should she bring to the interview with her?

thanks...

Your wife needs to bring a copy of the NVC letter with your manila case number, pictures, ballpen, passport. The filipino overseas class is what she also need before she left the country. We call it CFO seminar..you can check it on philippine government website with regards to CFO. Additional questions feel free to ask...=) or add me in my YM mhrzl_mt =)

thanks you very much, i will look into it....

Hello fellow journeyers,

I just wanted to know what does my wife have to bring or show to get her medical done at St. Lukes? Also she has to take a Filipinos overseas class? What’s that about and what does she need to bring to be able to attend that class?

Thanks…..

Hello there,

after the interview and approvel, how long till you get the visa in hand to fly?

Hello fellow journey men,

i paid for IV bill on NVC last week. i called NVC and they said they mailed a packet to me, am guessing its the insctuction package, i haven't gotten it yet. i was just wondering what that packet has in it. i just wanted to know what to expect.

so if anyone here knows please help

Thanks...

Congrats!

As of recent many seem to be getting their NVC #'s under two weeks. A week/week and half.

ok... thanks for the quick reply

i got my NOA 2 last week. i was just wondering how long before NVC gets it? i just called NVC and they said they haven't gotten anything yet....

am soooo happy.... got a text message last night from USCIS that my I130 was approved... soooo,, what can i expect next?

When did they send it? I got one too and they sent it 3rd Feb and I received Tuesday 8th so a few days and I had 45 days on this RFE to return

that helps a lot

Thanks....

USCIS said they sent me a RFE a couple of days ago and i havn't gotten it yet.. i was just wondering if anyone knows how long i have to send the RFE back... because am gonna be away for business for a couple of weeks or even longer and the RFE will prob. get here when am away.....

does anyone know how long you have to till to reply to the RFE?

I wish you better luck than I had...I thought for sure we sent everything possible except for blood samples and just received 4 page RFE...Best wishes for you that it is something simple like missing something on the form or one item that they want....and yes, calling USCIS isn't going to help much unless u go way up the chain...

yeah, getting answers or info from the folks at USCIS is very hard... and ya i hope what they ask for from me is something simple....

thanks...

yeah i guess they could ask for just about anything, i will just have to wait for it i guess. it's just a long and frustrating process.

thanks guys.....

Hello Friends,

here is the latest, its been 76 days since i received my NOA 1 for the I-130 i filed. yesterday i got and update on my case, USCIS is requesting for evidence? so when i saw this i called USCIS customer service line to find out what kind of evidence they were looking for and the gal at USCIS couldn't really give me an answer.

so my question is, has anyone here know what might they want or what kind of evidence they are looking for? and how much longer will this hold up my NOA 2?

Thanks

I would give it at least into next month. When mine was being processed we were going at least 5 months average and as DanTes mentioned there have been issues with TSC. I would go the thread that was mentioned and see what is happening with other people going through TSC.

hello, ya.. sounds like thats what i have to do, no choice but to wait alittler longer...

Thanks....

When you call this number 1-800-375-5283. Mon - Fri I think they are there until 6pm PST I think.. it doesn't state time zone... When you get a live person ask for an Officer or Tier 2..

hello, i just called and they just told me the same thing, wait 120 - 180 day before calling... i don't know what else i could do but wait...

thanks.....

I filed back in September....

When did you file?? Was your petition transferred to TSC?? If so, check out the forum IR1/CR1 - California Service Center to Texas Service Center. A lot of people having problems now with their petitions filed in June/July/August.

I sent the papers to chicago then it got transferred to TX and I think its been there. So now I don't know whats going on. I think it's more of hurry up and wait..

OK! here is the last thing i got from USCIS : (POST DECISION) On November 24, 2010, a USCIS office received this case from the State Department with a request that we review it. We will notify you when we complete our review, or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

so its been awhile, so i called USCIS not to long ago. i didn't get to talk a person i just got a recording. i pushed my receipt # number and it just said the above information and at the end of the recording it said wait 180 day before calling again and checking on the account.. REALLY!

anyone here in the same boat am in right now or does anyone here know what i should do or do i really wait the 180 days... 180 days puts me waitting till june....

HELP PLS anyone any edvice...
