Gaye, i'm sure it's fine and that you will have your visas in hand very soon. Think positive. I wish they would remember that they are dealing with real human beings with real emotions here and not just pieces of paper.

No need to apologize for venting.... you've been here lifting everyone else up for so long it's about time we can return the favor.

I too am curious about Sally....

I am not removing the approved beside my interview date. i still believe in my heart that I was approved (the CO said so right after the interview) and it is just a matter of time till the CO could finally come to his senses and order the issuance of my visa.

They returned every photograph we sent during I-129F petition application so the only pics that they have are the picture on our passports and also those that were attached to the forms and also those picture the the medical center took(they forwarded everything to embassy).. I am wondering if the CO developed HD (hidden desire) with me that he wants to stare at my passport pic some more.

Gay, I know how you feel...

And though the CO has grounds to "stare at your passport pic" (I saw your other pictures), wishing you have your visas in hand ASAP.

I am praying for you dear!!!

I am still here and still waiting for the appointment for the CT Scan. I know we dont pay for it here but omg i just want to know if I have something wrong with me and if I have to stay in the uk or whether I can use my visa.

It really sucks that you're being kept waiting so long, Sally. But I'm really sure that the scan is merely a formality and that they'll find nothing wrong with you.

dbears - here's hoping that the officials hurry up and issue your visa soon!

The trouble is Rach, that ever thing you feel scares you, I have been trying to cough so I get get the fluid off my lungs and now my throat is so sore, sorry for moaning but why me lol.

It's okay! You're entitled to a good moan. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be!

Is the scan with the medical office in London?

The scan is being arranged through my gp otherwise it would cost me in excess of £1000, thank god for the nhs.

I don't understand the document verification process...how does that work?

I'm praying for you, Gaye!!!

Unfortunately, the Philippines is a high fraud country and some women in the past have sought marriage with foreign nationals even though they were still married in their home country. they simply submitted fake birth certificates and fake CENOMAR (certificate of no marriage) so now, all couple who are in a genuine and honest relationship are made to suffer because the embassy will now do their own verification, meaning they will not believe if you will submit your own CENOMAR, they will still need to send verification request to the Philippine NSO (National Statistics Office) to verify the authenticity of your papers. And usually it will take 1-6 weeks just to do the document verification. We are asked to pay document verification fee several weeks before interview "to avoid delay" as stated in the USE Manila website but still becoz it is causing major delays.

If only my document verification result was not yet with embassy and they are still waiting for it, then it won't really stress me out that much because at least I know the reason why I am still waiting. But my verified documents are already with them (I paid April 10, a month before interview) as of now, I really don't have a clue why they are holding our papers.

But it will come.. i am sure it will come.

I am sorry to hear your troubles. I know it will all work out, just don't lose sight of that!

I am feeling a lot better now... Spent the day with the kids and also sorting out things I would be shipping off to Ricky's place.... and also spent the day serving my siblings, cooking for them (coz they would surely be missing my cooking when the time comes) and helping my sister find the best school for my nephew... and also, spent some time using my belly dance and miss electra's aerobic striptease VCD's. I realized I have not been excercising a lot in several months... so I let out all my frustrations through moving belly bulges and arm flaps. .. It did good to the soul and I guess, also to the body.

Ricky will be calling next week, perhaps he will get better response from USEM people. Some folks said that they are more accomodating when it is the foreign national who makes inquiries but when it is just the Filipino fiancee/spouse, they often give the cold shoulder.

Well, I am hoping and praying that Ricky will get the "Oh, your fiancee's and that of her children's visa are already out for delivery."

Thank you very much to all of you... I really can't imagine going through this process without all of you.

My worries is sooo much lesser compared to yours and my heart really goes out for you.

I know the fear of the unknown is what makes the whole thing more stressful... Not knowing what will happen or what they will find on your CT scan is just too much. It is always the unknown that drives us crazy noh?

I am hoping and praying that everything will be ok with you. I am holding you in my thoughts and prayers Sally.

Hello everyone

Just got back from visiting England, had a wonderful time! It was hard to have to leave as i'm sure you all know that feeling. I was hoping to receive some notice prior to, or while I was away but no such luck

Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed. ( April 10th )

June 10th will be 60 days ... what should I do, just wait on them or is it possible to call and inquire about it?

PS who else is a Jan 08 filer at VSC and still waiting?

Thanks,

Lynda

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Sunday!!! Last week of school for me (then next week is summer school), so I have to do a mountain of planning this weekend!

Dawn, you are just the perfect person to ask.

Classes in Johnston county, NC would start August 25 but I am seriously considering going to the US first week of september when ticket prices become considerably cheaper. My question is: Do you think it is ok for the kids to miss out the first 3-4 weeks of school? Do you think they would still be able to cope up with lessons? (My daughter is 10, would be 11 next november, while my son is 8, would be 9 by september.) Do you think it would be ok for the kids to attend school 3rd or 4th week of september then be absent on Oct. 3 or would it be better for them to start school till after october 3 when everything has finally been settled, including the wedding.

I have talked to the kids and they said they are ok with going there on september, though they would actually rather stay here till next year or even till after they finish grade school (which is sooo out of the question ). Classes here starts next week and the kids would still be going to thier old school here June-July so they will be occupied while waiting and also be able to spend more time with their friends in school.

Any inputs you could share would be greatly appreciated.

I was hoping you've been approved already.....

there is still Herolmounia who are also waiting for the NOA2. They have tried calling but was discouraged by the not so friendly person that Mounia's fiance talked to.... but you or you fiance can try calling, who know you will end up calling a nice person who could give you positive response.

I wish and pray that you and Herolmounia will get that long overdue NOA2 soonest. Stay strong and keep the faith burning.
