Angel, your best bet would be to go to the Regional forums here on VJ and check out the Philipines thread. Make sure you read the sticky topics at the very top and look for a Philipine guide from Sheriff Uling. He spells it all out for you very simply.

Thank you KimandRuss!

That is a very helpful forum for me. He made it very clear with all the steps I will be going through.

Then I think, omg 90 days! What am I going to wear? Will I be a good wife? Will I like my new last name? What if I start snoring after we get married?

Haha I'm having the same "problem"! I had never even stopped to think about the wedding, I never dreamed about a big ceremony or anything. I guess in the back of my head I though we'd just wake up in the morning and go to the court house and get married. But after the NOA2 I started thinking... hey I want at least a cute dress... and pictures... and family and close friends will expect a reception... and then it hit me that I need to start thinking about the wedding! And then there's the most important part, that's actually being married and living together. I've never even had a roomate... what if I'm a terrible wife? And my name... I've had my name since I was born, how weird is it going to be to have a new one?

On the plus side, I think all these things are actually fun to think of... keeps my mind busy during the wait.

But anyways, what I wanted to ask you guys... We got approved on Aug 27th as well, do you think it's time to call NVC already? I'm curious and I'd love to know at what point our petition is.

I'm sorry about my timeline. According from the USCIS operator that they sent out papers to NVC the same day they approved our NOA2 which is August 29, 2008. But when I checked my status online at USCIS. I saw that they still touched my paper Sept. 01, 2008. So I don't think they sent it the same day. I think they're lying about it. I think they exactly sent it Sept. 01 already.

I'm also confused about how they're dealing with our papers. Because some was approved earlier than I am and we have the same date. I got mad at their system as well. Aside from their inconsistent answers when you called their hotline. Their system are inorganized as well. Like for example. When my fiance asked them what date are they processing lately. They would say that they're processing April 14 filers but then the next day I got an approval of my NOA2 and I am an april 25 filer.

I really hate how they tell people. They don't even care on our feelings that we need to hear what is the real score.

i think its cuz they dot have a clue themselves...some officers are wrkng on say april 10th, others are already into May! It definatley is confusing..but i guess with so many applications and then so many officers working at different speeds its bound to be inconsistent. If only they wouldtell us that though!

Its hard when people get approved when they filed after you. We recieved our NOA1 april 21st and are still waiting

Thank you

I'm so sorry and I totally understand how frustrated and upset you feel when you see someone after you filed got their approval. I also noticed that CSC seems working abit slow for these few days, hopefully its all cuz of the holiday and like I said before there are so many approval got sent out without updated on the web site. I'm hoping you are one of them will have your approval in your mail box soon!

I've been US for many times like you and looked it as a 2nd home and I really feel for you! I know how hard to put your life on hold just to wait for this long and painful process done but hun please hang in there always remember " Good things come to those who wait"

I'm fingers crossed for you and the rest of filer who are waiting !!

Cheers,

Glo

You should start calling NVC by now. I'm pretty sure they already have your case now. Some April filer with the same date with you, called the NVC already and that NVC received their case. I already called NVC for my case but they said they haven't got mine yet. So we will try again tomorrow for follow-ups. I'm sure it'll be there tomorrow. It's should be there by now or something is wrong.

I know its hard but just be pleased that you have your approval at least! Im still in the waiting room, been crying to my fiancee for a good hr about it all, in limbo not knowing when ill have an approval. I would give anything to be in your position right now

You know I felt the same way when I was still waiting for my NOA2. It was even worse. Aside from crying... I ended up having a big arguement with my fiance over nothing. I made a wrong diversion with my anxiety. I got paranoid. Lol! I couldn't sleep normally, I had a moody appetite and I don't want to go out of my place anymore.

But as time went by... I got really mad and I burst out my feelings here and I'm so glad that there are so many nice people that helped me through my frustrations. It helped me calmed down and have more patience. I'm very grateful I am here in VJ. If not, I would be probably be giving up already. So I ignored my email for a while and went out. Spent my time with friends and shopping. Lol! Then as I remembered it was Sunday morning when I finally opened my email again. And there it was the CRIS email. Got my NOA2 finally!

Just please have more patience and have more faith than what I had when I was still waiting for NOA2. It will come eventually. VJ family will be here for you all the way. Cheer up sweetie!

Hi all,

Today I got some good news and some bad news.

I received a notice from the NVC that they had recieved our petition, etc, etc, (YAY good news!!) So to find out what date they received it and when they will send it off I have to call??? So everyone who knows the date received and date left has called NVC??

Now, bad news... the last resource we had for a co-sponser just told me today that she wouldn't do it I feel like giving up, like not getting my hopes up because I am afraid he will not be able to be with us I know I can't give up, though! I know there are those with worse situations than mine and I have to be hopeful and strong for him, too. But tonight, I am feeling so sad.

You click MY CONTROLS in the upper right area of any Vj window you opened and it will direct you to your profile. Then once you're in your control panel. You scroll down and click EDIT SIGNATURE that can be found on the left side area under PERSONAL PROFILE. Then you can start editing your timeline from there.

Let me know if you need to anything, okay?

I'm wondering why it takes so long for your petition and its odd that their processing time went backward too. I've seen lots of CR-1/IR-1 petition (lots of 2007) got transfered from VSC to CSC around Aug not sure if its one of the reason all of K1 petitions are jacked up and slow. I really hope they can approve u guys soon. Being apart is hard enough, Being apart & prepare the wedding without time frame or date is INSANE. Been there, done that, I really feel for you. I wish I can do something to help you out but right now I can only comfort you and hope you guys toughen up to get out of this waiting line. Come on CSC, do something!!!!

Cheers,

Glo

Hey guys, I have a couple question you all might be able to help me with..

How can you tell if your interview location has received you visa application stuff, we received a letter over a week ago from the NVC saying our stuff was heading to Vancouver but havent received Pck 3 yet, and would love to check on the status as we got held up in NVC for so long Im a little nervous...

Secondly, How are you all organizing your stuff for the interview, In a binder or in Folders... I currently have everything organized in a binder and page protected(Yeah I said Page protected im a nerd), but Im not sure this is the best way for the interview. What do you all think or plan on doing ?

I have started to put mine together. I have them in flexible binders, and things like chat and email records I have printed double-sided (trying to be green..haha). I only have about 1/4th of chat records and this log is about 1 1/2 inches thick! (and it's double sided). I have 3 flexible binder - one with chats, one with emails/phone records/travel records, and then another that's a photo album - and that does have page protectors. The other 2 binders don't.

Same here. I put everything in a flexible binder. I even practiced bending them into circle and imagining the hole size of their glass window. Lol! Just making sure. I think I might reduce my photos to present. It's a bit thick. Lol!
