We mailed the divorce decree as requested by RFE they send to us last July 13. We received the email notice informing that our I-129F application is approved and that they mail the NOA2 July 28, 2011. But here we are again, got to ask my sister to get hold of the NOA2 hard copy since Im with my fiancee in Philippines right now.Glad to know things are getting in progress.

I waited 33 days before NVC had my file. It sat at CSC forever. It took NVC requesting the file before they sent it. August 18th will be your 15th business day. If NVC doesn't have your case file by then, scan it (preferably .pdf format) and send it to NVCResearch@state.gov. Be sure to put your USCIS receipt number in the subject line. They will check throughout the NVC for the file. If it's not there, they'll send a request to USCIS. After you have your MNL number, go to any BPI branch and pay your visa fee.

If you're still there at the time of her interview, you can go with your fiancee. USEM allows for this. In my mind, this is the smart thing to do since it shows conclusive proof of an on-going relationship. It's what I plan on doing with Amy.

Can someone let my timeline know it's passed July 25th please

[John*&*his*GG 2]

I think CSC took a break last week so I'm claiming dibs on this week. Maybe not today but this is our week.

[John*&*his*GG 2]

RFE time :dance:

Not 100% sure why yet and I am a bit shocked.

However I think it is because I turned in only the visa stamp and not the ticket stubs which I still have. Just to clarify I sent in visa stamp, 15 pictures, itinerary, hotel receipt.

Another possible issue is my itinerary might not match the itinerary because I missed my flight the first day from Chicago to Amman, Jordan due to O'Hare being a little crazy. So I arrived a day later. Not sure I guess I will find out soon.

LOL oh and I got so excited when I got the text I thought for sure it was the approval. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs to check smiling as big as I could and I'm pretty sure any faster I would of tripped.

See I knew this was our week for something haha

John--I know we all would rather not get RFE but (1) good to know someone is looking at your petition and (2) hopefully, as in most cases I have read, the needed "evidence" is minor. Try not to stress too much. We are cheering you and your faince on! --RK and Inday

IronMan140--Congratulations!!!! Wishing you continuing success in this whole journey! --RK and Inday

I havent got a hold of our NOA2 yet, Just curious what is the usual instruction stated inside the notice. I will take your advice Ray, I will checked our approved I-129F at NVC after 2 weeks. Hopefully they have it by then. I have a question, when is the best time to secure police certificate? My fiancee have worked and stayed in Brunie for 2 years. As a requirement, she needs to secure the police certificate from Brunie. It is advisable to secure it while the application is still at NVC or when the papers in USEMBASSY.

The NBI certificate (police clearance) is good for one year. If there are other countries involved besides the beneficiary's home country, then I wouldn't wait to get them. Start with any NBI certificates from other countries first. If the beneficiary has a clean NBI (no past legal problems) in the Philippines, getting the certificate can take only about 5 minutes to get at any NBI field office. For more information on Philippines NBI, visit http://www.nbi.gov.ph/faq.htm.

Oh, by the way... it's not 2 calendar weeks to wait for NVC to receive before emailing your NOA2. It's 15 business days (don't count Saturday, Sunday, or holidays).
