Manila Embassy Interview

[rebelheart 0]

TO ALL WHO WILL BE PROCESSING THEIR AOS (i-485) AFTER MARRIAGE IN US.

Dear Kababayan,

One useful tip lang po : If you could bring a xerox copy (for your requirement), or another original copy of your NBI clearance (just in case if you'll be interview) .... that still valid for until AOS timeline.

As you could read, morely VJ members here specially been "Approved in AOS" but in a "FBI namechecked" for quite long time and some end up 1-2 years. Mostly as I've seen mga boys ang nalalagay sa FBI namechecked, or girls too if they suspicious of same name in different arrangement of name.

When you send your AOS requirements, even if it's not been asked as a requirements, you could put and include it. It's based on my experience .... or maybe I'm just lucky enough ... to be approved in my AOS without interview, and no long waiting for the Greencard to arrived in my hand.

Just being cautious, kase mahilig mag-alibi ang Immigration na "they lost your 1-2 documents" and they will send you RFE for it, that will delay it.

God bless!

Just a quick question. My sweety has her Interview on April 11th and we are so excited. Does anyone here have an idea when Delbro will deliver her VISA. I would like to start shopping for airfare for her. I have been a member here many months. I sent the I-129F in May of last year. It will be an 11 month process. I am so thankful for VJ. It has really been great support. I am sure she will pass her interview, we are more than ready. I just sent the I-134 to her 2 days ago FEDEX.

If possible, knowing her interview is April 11th. When is it safe to get her ticket and can I buy one online....E-Ticket, how should I buy the ticket?

Thanks and hugs to you all, and congrats to all the approved VISA's

i feel as if im asking stupid questions. hopefully this is my last one

on the DS 157, item 7. when it asks for the full mother's maiden name, is it ok to just put the middle initial or should it be spelled out completely?

thanks

Hello PW,

I think we need someone who can answer most of the questions/concerns of the members here co-VJERS, than voting for who will temporarily ask volunteers to maintain the list here. ANYONE,... PLEASE HELP GIVE PW a BREAK... ... hehehe... hope that ads help..lol tsktsktsk...

BTW, Georgeandjenny use to email me and they have their interview date on 4-10-07. I havent seen them in these thread lately.

I guess everyone here is willing to help their co-VJERS. You need that break PW, so go girl!... we will see miss yah though.

Grace

PW (Cora),

Hope you will feel better soon from migraine. Maybe from too much talking and not enough sexercise.

Thanks Steven (and Rebel too). I feel much, much better today.

And yes, not enough sexercise contributes to tension headaches . And so I called my sex therapist and he is arriving on March 2 and so I’m off to some serious “treatment” for two weeks in undisclosed exotic “clinics”.

Any volunteers in maintaining/updating our list while I’m gone? I will be incommunicado starting March 2 and will be back on March 19. Any one please, pretty please?

Updating to welcome pnoy00pogi and to wish good luck to macky (today's interviewee) and mydestiny (for tomorrow's interview). Good luck Birdy, Gobdogman and pnoy00pogi on Monday. I am also removing the names of those who have hurdled their January interviews.

Yaahoo, March is right around the corner for those waiting for March interview. Summer is here! Beach time! :energetic:

Hi Dave,

We figured to book a flight about 2 weeks after interview to allow time for delivery of visa, but we waited until after interview to reserve the tickets. We found the cheapest tickets with my fiancee buying the 2 tickets (her's and her son's) through a local travel agent ($992 for 2, One-way, Cathay Pacific - Cebu to Hong Kong to LAX). The agent quoted her the price and gave us this Friday to pay for them (departing March 2 - one week later). Delbros only took about 2 days to deliver the visa in our case, but the times do vary (see Patiently Waiting's list). Also, the Embassy may not release the visa for delivery right away - possible further review.

Everybody finds their own way on these things, but in our case it's been good to have 2 weeks for Jinky to say her goodbyes to all her friends and family as well as prepare for the big change.

Best wishes on the upcoming interview!

Well I just bought Luz and Robins tickets. They will arrive in the USA April 6 at 5PM!!!! WOOT! Next week they will do their CFO and get extra copies of BC and annullment papers. Only ~45 days to go!!!! YEAH!!!

Try Northwest Steve. I got Luz and Robins tickets for $910 going all the way to Peoria. It may be cheaper to try them.

PS. I like your signature pic!

It's too late, but thanks for the tip. That is a great price though! Does it include all the taxes? When I called Cathay Pacific directly, the cheapest price they could offer was $1,600 just for Jinky's ticket! The rep explained the ticket prices would be cheaper when bought in the Philippines.

Who is that handsome devil surrounded by gorgeous women? Lucky devil.

Yes that was total price including tax. I tried to buy their ticket here but I couldn't find anyone that would take my credit card! The price was very close to the same anyway. I just called NW directly and that was the price they gave me. They are flying out in April and they said that is the start of the high season. If she could have come in March it would have been $150 each cheaper. But Robin does not finish school until March 29. Oh well.

I loved the party! I was most definatly out numbered by all the beautiful women there!

ETA..

Opps.. I forgot to log out of Luz's account again! This is Gary! heheh

Hi all,

A little update on our visas.....I called the embassy and spoke with Sandy...i never seem to get loraine when i call anymore. She told me the pictures and passports finally made it out of the mail room and to a case workers desk feb 21 ( which ironicly is exactly 2 years ago Jasmin and I met). I asked when would be a good date to call back to check for update and she told me 2 weeks!!!!! I know I wont wait 2 weeks to call....i'll be calling by wed next week!! For gods sake all they need to do is look at the pics and process the visas already!!! I know...patience.

Congrats to all those who have thier visas and those on the way.....i don't wish this AR on anyone.

Jazzy
