Hello everyone, is it ok if my husband will be visiting again here in the Philippines even though we're already waiting for our NOA2?

We don't know when will our papers be approved (NOA2), so while waiting we want to see each other again - its our first Wedding Anniversary on Feb 14, 2009 but were planning to meet again on April or May. It will be only 2 -3 weeks....

Hi there,

I think there should be no problem for your husband to visit you, so long as he has proof he will be going back home after the visit. My husband arrived in the uk last week to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversay, and he had no problems at POE. He advised them that he was visiting due to our anniversary, and that we were in the process of applying for me to live in the USA. They granted him 6mths through the Visa Waiver Programme, but sadly he goes back to the USA tomorrow.

Happy 1st anniversary when it arrives.

He may be asked a few extra questions when he says he's going to visist his "WIFE" - but he should have no problems once he explains. My husband once got pulled into secondary questioning but once he could prove I WAS THE ONE MOVING they will let him in no problem.

We have the same wedding anniversary! Happy 1st anniversary to you and your hubby!

Hello everyone, is it ok if my husband will be visiting again here in the Philippines even though we're already waiting for our NOA2?

We don't know when will our papers be approved (NOA2), so while waiting we want to see each other again - its our first Wedding Anniversary on Feb 14, 2009 but were planning to meet again on April or May. It will be only 2 -3 weeks....

We dont live our lives around what the USCIS does or doesnot do. I'll likely be in the PI when our IR1/2 is approved but I dont care, I'll just send in the paperwork when I get back. :dance: I'll probably be there while its at the NVC to, I'll get that done when I get back also :whistle:

Enjoy your anniversary and dont let this process run your life.
