December K-1 2009 Filers VSC

[Jared and May 16]

Cary lives in Lapu-Lapu City, not to far from Cebu. I heard of Davao City, not sure where that is in relation to Manila or Cebu. Today I received a letter at my home addressed to Cary, originating from zip code 20166, with a return address for the Manila Embassy informing Cary that she is eligible for an interview. It appears to be a form letter except for her name, MNL number and type of visa.

That is a really cute pic of May holding the passport. Congratulations to you again, when are you leaving for your visit?

Cary and Jim

Thanks Jim - I sneaked a quick screen shot of her this morning.. She was so excited!

I'm headed to JFK next Thursday after work for a 12:30 AM flight to Manila via Seoul, Korea.. :sigh: it's always such a long bit of traveling to get out there but a million times worth it when I do..

Jared,

It is always nice to see someone genuinely happy as May was in the pic. I will be leaving somewhere around the 11th of May to be in Lapu-Lapu on the 13th which will be a week after the interview. I have an eight year old daughter who will not be going with me this time because of school. I think I will have sufficient help to take care of her for a week, I don't want to impose on people beyond that. I also have to have coverage for the animals as well. The most cost effective way for me is out of Newark via Continental. Since I have to book Cary a flight originating from Cebu, I may have to do that at the Continental site. I am having difficulty booking online for a flight that originates in Cebu with the usual suspects like Orbitz, BookingBuddy, etc. The only site that quoted an online price was Expedia.

You are absolutely right. If it wasn't for my daughter I would never have left there. I am in a business that if I have a phone and a computer I can work anywhere in the world. If I take Continental I go through Hong Kong but it appears on the return flight I may have a chance for a layover in Beijing. I would love to stop there and get my passport stamped. If we don't chat before you leave have a great flight.

Our NOA 1 was dated December 28... Same as yours... And to this date, we still don´t have our NOA 2... Not even a touch (or an RFE)...

I wish there was something I could do... I tried calling, but got the canned response saying that I have to wait until after the 5 months passed. I also sent an e-mail to my congressman, and got another canned response saying they will reply in a few weeks.

Right now, we feel helpless... And we can´t help to think that there is something wrong.

Could they have found something wrong with our application? Even if we have not received any RFEs and we haven´t had any touches since December 31 (3 days after the NOA 1 date)?

What could be going on?

Believe me, I feel your pain. What I did was contract with a service to help me with potential problems in the Philippines and I decided that I could handle anything bad that might happen here in the states. I don't know what the real protocal is but I would have to consider whether I might be able to get a meeting with someone in USCIS either in Vermont or local. There is an office here in Philadelphia. If nothing else it will cause someone to have to find your paperwork. I'm sure others here will offer other suggestions as well. Understand that I am a person with little patience and would think nothing of showing up at the VSC to see what I could find out if I felt I was being ignored on the phone. I hate sounding radical but with most similar filiers getting NOA 2 and NVC notices, etc., I would have to consider drastic legal measures to have someone hear me. I may also visit an immigration attorney for some advise.

In my particular case, we had only one noted touch on 1/3/2010 till 3/25/2010. As you may already know we have a group of very knowledgeable people who filed in December. I wish I had a really good answer for you. I think being a phone pest may be a good way to get some action on your application.

I hope you get your NOA 2 in the next day or two.

Got a call that visa is in our city already. They offered to come pick it up in the office downtown, so we'll be heading out there in a couple of hours.

[A and J 4]

its amazing how fast this process is going for some of you, all i can say is congratulations and live through your joy at this time. To anyone still waiting on your NOA2 good luck you are still thought of.

7 weeks and counting til i get to see him again

[Martyshk 137]

That's it. Visa in hand. POE - Friday, April 30th

My case was just recieved by NVC yesterday the April 22nd. Should i just keep calling everyday to see what the process of my case is. Also what do I ask them?

Mlbarb - I seem to recall you being pretty obnoxious arguing with Mартышк+Мартышка, so perhaps you would find better luck posting in a different thread or using the forum search functionality.

[Matt&Kaci 3]

Jared and May - Before you make comments such as that you might want to check with Mартышк+Мартышка I wrote him a personal message apoligizing to him.

Congrats Alex!! Now you can relax for a couple of weeks before the AOS process begins.

Are you both entering the country together?

Start calling Monday...the best time to call is 7 am or 11:30 pm. You will need your EAC #, beneficiary's name, birthdate, & email. Ask them when they received your petition, when they sent to embassy, and most importantly your new case #.

[Mark and Carol 4]

Houston...we have an interview date!!!

I called the DOS today and our interview date is June 17...finally. At least I have more time to plan for the interview and get my house, as Jared put it, "fiancee-ready".

Hey PJ, I haven't seen yer wench lately...did you make her walk the plank for messing around with the Parrot?

BTW...after we complete our journey on the Rumrunner, we'll have to board a new ship for the AOS process. Everyone start thinking of a new name for our ship. For those crew members that are still onboard the Rumrunner, you can join us on the new ship at a later date...don't forget to bring the Parrot with you.

I mean u only got touched just yesterday? since u sent your rfe?

Yup, VSC received my RFE response back in March (30th to be exact). I sent it via FedEx. I have been checking the website everyday day from then onwards. I just received a touch on the 21st of April. My case is now being processed! I don't know what happened, just praying for a quick turnaround. All this waiting is really frustrating.

What is your status?
