Manila Embassy Interview

rebelheart · April 18, 2006

[Donaco... how did the interview go?

lol well expect defeat and you wont be disappointed lol we were APPROVED

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :thumbs:

after all the doubts still.... it really goes well with yove!

Long vacation for me here in VJ ........ but still im here @ Mindoro for long holy week vacation for me and my son @ the beach. Anyway regarding about ur last post for me ..... YES ..... it happened as i should wait till my fiance baptism to be a member of the church, but he already done with his indoctrination here in manila before he flew back to Georgia. My fiance embrace my religion without hesitation, the only thing we need to do is wait for the baptism bcos even i fly now to Georgia and be with him wont make difference might be sent home when i almost finished my 90 days in US without being married by church ( like what happened to "mizz" fiancee in VJ, he post his inquiries with this ). Since i did inquire with PatientlyWaiting about expiration of visa's, i knew now that i have other options to do not to lose our visa's and mizz didnt knew dat, so his fiancee went back to manila b4 30 days never got married. And now it will be a big "ISSUE" to embassy about not pursuing the mariage but went for 30 days. He will reapply again but have more worries, we could live and wait for more months than waiting for years doing the petition again :crying: , we're still trying to balance everything, and i dont have much more to worries bcos there's nothing more to get worried for what we've already experienced from the start of the petition filing till the issuance of visa. I still got our passports , stamps, & visa's ...... only a ticket away. Did manage to change flight bookings without adding charges.

Importantly ive got the blessings of my family & my fiance side too for watever decisions we will make in the coming days..... months..... ill keep you all guys posted :luv:

again...... lets keep the VJ spirits alive!!!! :thumbs:

well i was in a religious background so much so that they tried to make me a catholic priest, but im hardly religious at all. ive been married before so the wedding isnt that big a deal for me .however for yove it is. so we decided to have a civil wedding in america and to return 2 years later to her province for a big family wedding for her. on our second anniverary. her

Wow looks like we're having a good number of approved visas here

Nakashima, hang on there and you'll get the visa soon. They do marriage index at times and it won't take long for sure.

PW, is spunky66 K1 or K3? Per his profile he's on K3 but I might be wrong.

Congratulations guys!

Blessings!

I am K-1 . I am getting a little worried. Rosemarie is having a hard time finding coberrating paperwork for Josh to get his passport. Need to get his BC changed, but how much paperwork does a 9 yr old in the PI have. Just BC and probably Baptismal certificate. Soooooo, I still have 2 weeks , but I might just have to go ahead with bringing Rosemarie over here first :angry:

That should be enough paperwork for him, she will need all her paperwork and maybe some of the fathers. You don't have any school records of him?

Honestly I don't have an experience on K2 or K4. But as far as I understand, yes, you can bring Rosemarie ahead and apply for F2A for Josh later after Rosemarie becomes LPR. That might be hard for Rosemarie but that's that, you don't have enough time and you need to choose. BC change takes 1-4 months, depends on where you are in PI.

I also feel sorry about your paperwork situation. A piece of advice, know what to do, know the consequences and go for it :yes: .

God bless!

All Rosemarie's paperwork is in order. Today she is back at the NSO to see what is going on, with his BC. She was planning on coming over without him first , last year, so mentally she was prepared for this . We still have a little time before the St Lukes visit

Congrats to all of you who are approved and soon be together. I am soooo tired of phone calls and emails, and chat :wacko:

That might be hard for Rosemarie but that's that, you don't have enough time and you need to choose. BC change takes 1-4 months, depends on where you are in PI.

The best thing to do under the circumstances is to go ahead with K1 interview without Josh. Josh has one year from K1 issuance to be issued with K2. I'm sure that one year would be sufficient time for Rosemarie's family to get Josh a passport. You have to pursue K2 at all cost otherwise if Rosemarie petitions him under F2A, Josh would be a teen-ager by the time NVC gets to his priority date. Per DOS Visa Bulletin, they're processing July 1, 2000 F2As, almost 6 years wait at the moment.

http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/rp1/wwwh3204.html

Only the unmarried, minor children (below 21 years old) of the Filipino fiance(e) can be included in the K1 petition and are eligible to apply for a K2 visa. If they are unable to depart with their Filipino parent, children who are named in the petition have one year (from the time the K1 visa is issued) to be issued K2 visas. They must apply for visas in a timely manner to allow visa issuance within the required time, otherwise the children will no longer be able to derive any immigration benefit from their parent’s K1 visa and new immigrant visa petitions need to be filed on their behalf.

Thanks PW; that is the plan if it doesnt happen before the orginal interview date. Lets just hope we get a little lucky next week.
