Updating timelines of FMerz and davidjack. FMerz, how did you manage to request visa pick up?

PW,

My hubby was with me during my interview, i am the one who realy requested it because i had a hard time receiving my packet before and i dont want the same hassle again for my visa. well i think it definitely helps that my man was with me as i requested, so they easily gave in.

Thanks again For everyone and GOOD LUCK ELIZABETH girl!!!! dont worry I will pray for you and no doubt youll make it!!!!!:)

Hi!

Look at the VJ Sample Form here: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Form-DS-156.pdf

To "marry my fiance so and so" sounds fine... but I think mentioning "relocation", as in the sample form, makes it more complete and accurate.

Good luck on your interview!

:)

Shhh, :secret: it was the embassy who lied to you.... :lol:

oh my, they do rejoice in our confusion huh?? :wacko:

And here I go again with yet another question … I suppose you will have to put up with me as I will be pestering this thread with questions for the next couple of weeks trying to put our ducks in a row even if we don’t have our interview date yet, :)

Anyways…. I’ve done my CFO seminar already, and I have my Certificate. My concern is about my 19-year old daughter, who, according to the CFO website and the lady I talked to in the CFO office, will have to attend Peer Counseling once she gets her visa. I want to prepare my daughter this early on what she should expect; however, I have not read any account here on CFO Peer Counseling for K2 derivatives aged 13 to 19 years old.

hmmmm… could it be that I’m just the only one here now who is that old to have a 19-year old daughter???? :o (and yes, I even have 24 and 23 year-old sons!)

I’ve read that Jo&John and Jamrok had the age-out situation. I was wondering if their son/daughter went through the counseling. An account of that would really help me and my daughter, and others in the future who will have to go through with it.

Thanks again!

And here I go again with yet another question … I suppose you will have to put up with me as I will be pestering this thread with questions for the next couple of weeks trying to put our ducks in a row even if we don’t have our interview date yet, :)

Anyways…. I’ve done my CFO seminar already, and I have my Certificate. My concern is about my 19-year old daughter, who, according to the CFO website and the lady I talked to in the CFO office, will have to attend Peer Counseling once she gets her visa. I want to prepare my daughter this early on what she should expect; however, I have not read any account here on CFO Peer Counseling for K2 derivatives aged 13 to 19 years old.

hmmmm… could it be that I’m just the only one here now who is that old to have a 19-year old daughter???? :o (and yes, I even have 24 and 23 year-old sons!)

I’ve read that Jo&John and Jamrok had the age-out situation. I was wondering if their son/daughter went through the counseling. An account of that would really help me and my daughter, and others in the future who will have to go through with it.

Kismet....the peer counselling is not a big deal....ask the CFO people to have it scheduled. Quite simple actually. Good luck

Thanks for the reassurance. Reading my post now, I realize how simple things can get magnified when one thinks of the process too much.

*breathes in.. breathes out* :)

and you should be able to relax soon enough....here's hoping for the release of your fiancee's visa soon.

Hi! I'm not sure if I'm in the right section of this forum. Our K1 was approved yesterday ! :dance::dance: .Now, I'm a bit lost with the rest of this process.Should I start gathering the supporting paperworks and send it to him asap or it's better to wait until he receives a letter from US Embassy in Manila before I send it? How long do you think before we get called for an interview? My fiance is still working on his master's program and will graduate in March.Can you also add me to your tracking list if you don't mind? :) SALAMAT PO!

Hi! I'm not sure if I'm in the right section of this forum. Our K1 was approved yesterday ! :dance::dance: .Now, I'm a bit lost with the rest of this process.Should I start gathering the supporting paperworks and send it to him asap or it's better to wait until he receives a letter from US Embassy in Manila before I send it? How long do you think before we get called for an interview? My fiance is still working on his master's program and will graduate in March.Can you also add me to your tracking list if you don't mind? :) SALAMAT PO!

You are exactly at the right section of the forum. It's better to send him all the supporting documents he is going to need beforehand. The advantage of this is knowing what else is lacking. He can finish his masteral study. The visa won't expire until 6 months.

Has anyone else here considered submitting the receipt from the medical to their health insurance for reimbursement? Marlene had health care through her employer and was reimbursed for the cost of the medical at St Luke's.

This question is for those of you who already completed their CFO in Manila. It's my understanding that there are 10AM and 1PM sessions each day. Which session did you attend, what time did you arrive, and what time did you finish?
