It's so frustrating. I had my interview on September 25th and the CO told

me that before she will approve me I should submit 1 additional document

(divorce decree) of my fiance. I submitted it via air21, and the embassy

received it Sep.29th. Although the divorce decree was already included in

the original I-129 petition, the prescreener said that the NVC did not send

yet my papers to them although they sent me the letter that I can schedule

my interview. Maybe they lost my papers because they scheduled me Sep.22nd

for my interview, but then when I went there to window Y they told me that

my file was not yet in their system. She just wrote 25th on my embassy

appointment letter. I had to rebook my flight to Cebu because my interview

was rescheduled.

My fiance already called the embassy twice and got the standard answer of

wait 6 weeks. He emailed also but no clear answer of when I can have my

visa.

Just hang in there and you'll have your visa soon. I felt for you and soon you'll be with your hubby.

We were in the same situation as you you a couple of months ago. The co told my wife that her annulment papers looked fake. We brought all the papers they asked us to . We had the final decision, decree of annulment and annotated marriage certificate. The CO told her that she want to see all the court paper to include all the trial paper work. We gave it to them 2 days later it was like 80 pages. It took them 4 weeks to approve the visa so just hang in there. It is going to be a hard couple of weeks, because the feeling is going to be oooo so clase but yet so far. Tell your fiancee to call DOS every couple of days, and to call usem in manila once a week. When i was in your situation i was calling DOS everyday and USEM every 2 days. AS you already know your hubby had to buy a pin number to call USEM. When i called i used the same pin number over 20 times (they say it only works 3 times). So tell him to keep trying to use the pin thast he already bought and not buy a new one until they say it does not work.

Wow! I feel for you. Was the CO American/Pinoy American/or Pinoy? Just curious. We are in a bit of a situation too. Magie (Filipina) gave all her divorce paper work originals to the court. The PI Court approved her Petition for recognition of foreign divorce. They gave her copies of everything. Now the NSO wont give her annotated mc because they want original. And the DFA same but they got the original from the PI embassy in Korea! I'm really beginning to dislike the system in the Philippines. It seems nobody trust anything and money talks! Good Luck!

He needs to go to the Courthouse, and get Certified Copies of all his divorce decrees.

The courthouse will make a copy and then sign and maybe attach a seal that the Divorce Decree are Certified Copies.

My Question?

Why didn't you bring certified copies of the Divorce Decree to the Interview at USEM?

Perhaps because the papers were already included in the 129-F petition from the NVC.........and copies were brought, but 2 pages missing..... :whistle:

It's so frustrating. I had my interview on September 25th and the CO told

me that before she will approve me I should submit 1 additional document

(divorce decree) of my fiance. I submitted it via air21, and the embassy

received it Sep.29th. Although the divorce decree was already included in

the original I-129 petition, the prescreener said that the NVC did not send

yet my papers to them although they sent me the letter that I can schedule

my interview. Maybe they lost my papers because they scheduled me Sep.22nd

for my interview, but then when I went there to window Y they told me that

my file was not yet in their system. She just wrote 25th on my embassy

appointment letter. I had to rebook my flight to Cebu because my interview

was rescheduled.

My fiance already called the embassy twice and got the standard answer of

wait 6 weeks. He emailed also but no clear answer of when I can have my

visa.

your fiancee should contact his congressman and ask for the immigration liason...

It is not unusual for the Embassy to misplace certain documents. It happened to us too.

Fortunately, I got my visa 3 working days after I submitted the photocopies of the missing documents.

Call the Embassy every 2-3 days and assertively follow-up on your case.
