Manila Embassy Interview

ryecatcher25 · April 4, 2006

Piss them off? just for asking if they are approved at end of interview? Of course ask politely, don't be rude, but i cannot see how simply asking if they are approved at end of interview could possibly be seen as offensive. i'm sorry but i am not going to be one of the people on here who has no clue one way or the other if they were approved. If the consul won't do the decent thing and tell her she has been approved, then it will be up to my fiancee to ask "May i ask am i approved?" if my fiancee can't even ask that at the end of the interview, then something is very wrong somewhere.

PW,
Hope your case get resolved soon. I've only been waiting 3 days and it's driveing me crazy. I can't imagine waiting weeks and weeks.

Good luck.

Thank you Rob. I have to live up to my alias so here I am patiently waiting

PW, good luck to you; looks like I will be joining you in this mess :angry:

Ok I would appreciate some input from the group.

As I am typing this my fiance is getting her passport , now

In 1996 when she gave birth to her son she was using a different name ( baptismal ) that was placed on the birth certificate. Also , for some bizzare reason , her father changed the spelling of the families last name by one letter :wacko:

Ok, as far as Rosemarie's I -129 is concerned and other picture ID , and her own birth certificate they are correct, it is her sons. It is his birth certificate that is ascue; he is included on her visa petition

Now I was thinking her are my choices

1) Go ahead with the interview and physcial on May 9th and 16 th , see what flys ???? Get the white slip /AR and go from there

2) Postpone the interview and physcial , and get the new correct birth certificate/ passport ; then get them to their physcial and interview together ??? 2 months for correct one to be issued thru the NSO ??

Is there a rush processing fee I can pay the NSO ???

It is kinda boiling into a logistics problem being he is 10 yr old and in Cebu ?????

Good luck and Thanks

Brad

GaryC · April 4, 2006

I have a question. When my fiance goes in for her interview I know one of the documents she needs is her annullment. Does she take the marrage contract with annotations alone or does she also need the court papers from the annullment?

bring everything no matter how trivial it seems

GaryC · April 4, 2006

Ok, a better way to phrase the question. Are the court papers required? All she has are the contracts with annotations. I am wondering if she has to go and get them from the court.

from reading all the boards and seeing all the AR's all i can say is if you can think about it so can they. dont leave anything to chance i recommend overkill rather then being unprepared. if she can get the paperwork get it dont give them a reason to give you an AR. ive gotten on a first name basis with the embassy personal as well as they office at my local congressman. if yove gets an AR it will not be for any reason that anyone can forsee. i call the embassy every day as well as my congressmans office just to get additional information and to keep my name and yove's name well known. there the ones that told me to get the CENOMAR. i know there government workers ,but there still human beings , and the more constantly you make yourself known to them the less likely that there will be reason to question your intent (at least thats what i hope)

R&W · April 4, 2006

Hey guys I hope you remember me .

I just wanted to say wishes for Malambing, Charsiimogen and Nakashima for their upcoming interviews. Be good, wear a little make-up, wear presentable clothes, don't forget to smile and be confident.

I'm now here with my husband in Dallas. My POE was at San Francisco. My husband met me there and we really had fun. We got to see the aquarium museum, the Golden Gate, China Town and other stuffs. I also got to see the popular Las Vegas lights from 1000m above. It was really neat. We only stayed at Las Vegas airport for about an hour and flew to Austin and drove from Austin to Dallas. Wow.. it was a longgggg trip. But it was fun because at last my husband and I are together. Our joy is really undescribable. We're going to Arkansas and Tennessee this weekend. Well another long trip but I'm sure it will be fun and another loving experience for us.

As PW said, yeah.. it takes patience. I know the waiting is SO bad but tell you, it's worth waiting for.

Blessings everyone!

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know i got the visa yesterday :dance:

Goodluck to everyone!!!

Bobsled · April 4, 2006

ryecatcher,

Ok pissed off might be too stronge a term. Maybe more like bothered. I don't want to argue with you, but you have to remember that we're dealing with people that get visibly upset if they think a girl is taking too long getting her docs out of their folder. I mean, come on. Life is too short for that. So, just do what you have to and hope all goes well.

Hi all!
