Hi everyone!

We finally received the letter from NVC stating that they are forwarding our petition to the US Embassy in Manila within a week. They also gave us our MNL number.

Does anyone know how many weeks from now should we call to see if they already received our documents? And what number should we call?

To find out the exact date your case was shipped to MNL embassy, you can call NVC at 1-603-334-0700 and choose the option for K visas. Once you get the date, wait about a week and call the US embassy in Manila at 63-2-528-6300 ext 5184 to verify if your case was received. Sandy and Lorraine are usually at this extension and they are always very helpful. Just be sure to have your case number when you call.

hi mychelle,

dont be confused about this CENOMAR thing ... it stands for CErtificate of NO MARriage for in case like me that has a child out of wedlock AND as well as its simply means of proof of singleness to those who are single person who never undergo marriage.

because if someone had been married, a divorce paper or annulment documents needed.

hope it helps... godluck to ur journey!

Hello to everyone!

wanna take this late opportunity to say CONGRATULATIONS! to nakashima , andrea and jeeleebee. Also to Wendy for fast AOS application thru DORA.

Hi PW, hope for your fast results for your AR. About me?? Im doing OK so far :blush: well, we decided to have a simple ceremony from our home this coming June 1st for our wedding. Sadly, it was still unbalance result regarding about my fiance indoctrination to our church, so we're just doing it in civil wedding. We just figure it out we have no much time left for till my visawith my son will expires on july.

hopefully, we could cross the bridge smoothly, but we doubt it so far in regards to church. But hopefully to our upcoming marriage life so far with our respective sons. we did succeed this petition smooth but we never forsee the bumps infront of our wedding plans ... heehehehhehee :lol:

Hello everyone! It's nice to hear back from the old-timers who've made it through this process.

Audrey, can we have your Manila case number?

Hi rebel, good to hear from you again. I hope you can resolve the problem with the indoctrination so you can have your church wedding soon.

Andrea, that's good info that you gave, the number for calling NVC.

Hi Lira. Are you in the US already?

I just got back from my annulment hearing today. I have two more marathon hearings on June 2 and 6 and looks like the court will have a decision by 2nd week of June. I'm hoping and praying :clock:

Cheers everyone!

You can add my our info too:

NOA2 - approved May 1, 2006 - letter sent May 3, 2006

NVC received case and assigned number May 15th - MNL2006635XXX

Received letter from NVC with case number dated May 18th.

Will have her call the Embassy this week to check on receipt status.

Based off everything I've read, I think we are looking at an early October interview.
