Is it too early for her to start getting together her stuff?

[charlie&pam 1]

Hi everyone!!!! I just got off the fed-ex website and the USCIS has received my package!!!!! The countdown begins!!!! My question in simple I talked to the soon to be wifey last night and she said that she went and got her police clearance,an affidavit ( her bc had a letter of it had her names spelled Pamila instead of Pamela) and her passport photos.......she also got something else that for the life of me I cant remember what it is now(i think cemonar)!!!! lol......she said that today she is going to get her NBI clearance and Passport. My question is if she is doing all this too soon? Will she have to do it all over again when the interview is closer or will it be ok? Thanks VJr's!!!!!......WE ARE ON OUR WAY!!!!

I understand the NBI clearance is good for one year.... And that should be the only time limit paper. You should be ready to interview in 6 months or so after filing. Personally I think it is better to get all of the paperwork done now. That way if there is any document problems,,, you spend the time resolving now,,,

She can update NBI right refore her interview. Doesn't cost uch and was fast when my wife did it.

What you might also do is have your SO take some medical tests at the local clinic. While these are of no value to St Lukes, they can remove some stress if they show all is good. If they do show a problem, you can spend the time between now and your medical working to get them resolved.

Good Luck!

You have a very efficient fiancee who thinks ahead of time

It is never too early to start getting things ready. If any problem arises with her documents at least she can address it now rather than panick when the interview is already near.

Goodluck on the journey.

Gotta agree with jom here...

My wife started gathering everything even before I filed the I-130! We had 5 NSO Originals of everything, she sent me 2 and kept 3 for herself. Then she got Passports for herself & son all over 1 month before I submitted the original petition.

She made several checklists and got a folder to gather all of the required documents for the NVC & USEM phases of our journey. Your document requirements will be different than ours but this kind of organization works well for you when the time comes to present documentation. Additionally it will be good busy work for her while your visit is fresh in her memories and she is missing you most.

I had my wife and anak get tested for TB right after we were married.

Sounds like your SO really has it together. That's great and as others have said it relieves a lot of stress when you are prepared well inadvance of the interview. In regards to testing, the sputum test seems to be the big thing that can really set you back time wise if your So was to test positive but we'll hope that's not the case. Good luck on your journey.

Your fiancee may need to have a sputum test done just to rule out any possibilities of having TB.

Having a Chest X-ray would help alleviate stress in the upcoming medical.

Since you need to be free of communicable diseases before arriving in the US.

However, these tests may not be honored by St. Lukes because they still value their own tests.

A lot of cases were pending because of finding scars in the lungs during the medical.

This will also save you some bucks for her to fly to Manila if she's not from there.

Usually it would take up to 3-6 months of waiting for the sputum culture result.

Good Luck!

The sputum culture test only takes 2 months

They're all correct it's better to get things done ahead of time..
