Hi Raymon! The interview went very well. Just a tip for those who are going to be interviewed, bring all your documents, even if you already submitted it at the NVC. I won't post my interview experience, 'cause it is so similar to the ones that were already posted here. Tell your spouse to just relax and enjoy the experience Good luck on your journey too! By the way, I was approved!

Congratz Pinoy..finally your long journey is over.

I WANT TO SHARE OUR EXPERIENCE VERY BRIEFLY COZ EVERYTHING WENT BY SOOOOOO FAST =) NO HASSLES!!!

WE ARRIVED AT THE USEM AS AROUND 6 AM SINCE OUR SCHEDULE IS 7 AM AND BY THE TIME THAT WE ARRIVED WE WE'RE ASKED TO GO INSIDE AND SCANNED OUR THINGS. I AM WITH MY DAUGHTER AND MOTHER SINCE I HAVE A 3 YR.OLD BABY AND PREGNANT MY MAMA WAS ALLOWED TO GO INSIDE AS WELL.

AT 6:15, WE WE'RE ASKED TO FALL IN LINE TO A BOOTH AND HAVE OUR DS230 PREPARED, 3 2X2 PHOTOS AND APPOINTMENT LETTER AND AFTER THAT THEY GAVE US A NUMBER AND THEY LET US SIT BY THIS TIME.

AND AT 6:40, THEY CALLED OUR NO. FOR THE FINGER SCANNING. NO FINGER SCANNING FOR CHILDREN.

AND EXACTLY 7 AM, MY NO.WAS CALLED AT WINDOW 24, A VERY NICE FILIPINA LADY WAS SEATED AND STARTED THE QUESTIONING.

- PETITIONER'S NAME

- BIRTHDATE

- HOW,WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MEET?

- AND THEN SHE ASKED FOR PICS,REMMITTANCES AND EMAIL/LETTERS.

AND AFTER THAT, SHE SAID THAT WE HAVE TO SIT DOWN AGAIN AND WAIT FOR OUR NO. TO BE CALLED FOR THE FINAL INTERVIEW.

AT 8 AM, WINDOWS FROM THE CO ROOMS ARE NOW OPEN. AND 5 MINS LATER WE WERE CALLED AT ROOM 37(IM GUESSING ON THIS) NAKALIMUTAN KO NA UNG ROOM NO.

WE ENTERED THE ROOM AND AN AMERICAN, TALL, WHITE AND BALD GUY GREETED US GOODMORNING =)

HE ASKED FOR MY NAME,BDATE,DAUGHTER'S NAME,BDATE,PETITIONER'S NAME AND BDATE. AFTER ANSWERING, HE MADE US RAISE OUR RIGHT HAND INCLUDING MY MOM AND MADE US SWEAR THAT ALL THAT WAS WRITTEN IN DS230 WE'RE ALL TRUE AND MADE ME SIGN THE 2ND PART.

AND HE JUST ASKED WHATS THE WORK OF MY HUSBAND AND WHEN IS THE LAST TIME THAT HE VISITED US. AND ASKED HOW WAS OUR ROADTRIP FROM TARLAC. HE ALSO ASKED ME ON WHERE DO I WANT TO GIVE BIRTH AND I SAID THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DELIVER MY BABY HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES AND HE SAID THAT VISAS HAVE TIME VALIDITY AND I SAID AS SOON AS WE GET THE PASSPORT FOR MY NEWBORN WE WILL FLY TO THE US. AND HE SAID OK, I DONT SEE ANY PROBLEM WHY I CANT APPROVE YOUR VISA. SO CONGRATULATIONS YOUR VISA IS APPROVED AND WELCOME TO THE USA. HAVE A SAFE DELIVERY! AND WE SAID THANK YOU! HE ASKED US TO SIT AND WAIT FOR OUR NAMES TO BE CALLED FOR THE FINAL INSTRUCTIONS.

NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, AND FINALLY WE WERE CALLED AT WINDOW Y AND GAVE ME THE PINK SLIP AND FILLED UP THE DELIVERY FORM FOR AIR21 AND PAID 270 EACH FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER. AND FINALLY WERE DONE

WE WERE OUT OF THE EMBASSY AT EXACTLY 9:45.

Hi Jaybie,

What service center that your petition was filed?

Basically, after the approval, you need to check with NVC after 1 to 2 weeks if they already receive your file from USCIS.

Since your priority date is current now, NVC will begin to contact you to start the processing of your I-130.

Just browse to this site to know more info about the process.

Goodluck and congratulations.

What do you mean by how many months? Are you pertaining on the visa interview?

If yes, then it all depends on how fast you can complete all the documents that NVC needs from you and how fast NVC will process your case.

You can start reading the US embassy manila website for you to have an idea about the whole process and what documents are to be required by NVC.

You can start to request some of the documents like marriage contract and Birth cert. (NSO copy), NBI clearance etc.

By the way, make sure that your passport is not about to expire or already expired.

Hope my case will soon be approve by USCIS-CSC.

They touched my case today and hoping for the best.

Hi guys! Thanks for posting updates about your case, I am new to this forum and this VJ help me a lot. I just got a few questions

First my PD is May 2009, we did not receive any approval notice from USCIS, when I check status online it has not change, yet last July 15 we have already received request from NVC to pay our AOS and send choice of agent, now we are in the process of sending the DS 230 and affidavit of support.

Do you think our case is about to get current? does it mean our case will be approved soon or it is already approved?

Thanks!

All your input and thoughts will be highly appreciated.

GOD BLESS OUR FAMILIES!

C,your PD is already current..(check this link..http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5113.html )and if they asked you to send and pay for docs..it means your case was already approved..maybe you lost your NOA2 on the mail.

GoodLuck!

Perri, go to USCIS website and register.

You can track the status of your I-130 on that site.
