Pay attention, non-EP NVC noobs. Here's Christeen's time tested formula to get you through NVC in one piece alive: Petitioner: Get NVC # + give operator your email IDs + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70

Pay the $404 and wait for it to clear. Once it does, print the barcoded letter and send both your packets in.

Hi TomD. Since your wife will be going through the Manila Embassy, I can share some of the stuff she went through. But as you know, in general, all our cases will be treated differently since we have different backgrounds.

For her, they questioned her travel history. Even though I thought it was not anymore related to our IR1 case. She initially came to the US in 05 with me as a tourist. then she converted to h1b so she could stay legally. then she went home last jan because of a family matter and had overstayed 3 months after the h1b. we only did this because i was to become a citizen so i figured 3 months won't have repercussions. They gave her a hard time for this. In the end, they couldn't find holes as my wife had the presence of mind to answer each query, like why she converted to h1b and overstayed afterwards. They tried to ask for her old, old passport with her tourist visa (expired) and thank God it was in the car so she ran outside and submitted it back. She said she wasn't gonna leave without a decision... she initially got a blue slip but when they saw the passport, they gave her the pink slip and approval....

i can elaborate but maybe not in here. let me know if i can help...

Thanks Triaxxx you shared more than enough. Your right all cases and Reps are different. I dont forsee any of that happening to us. She has never been to the states and has a good job with a well know company in Los Banos for the last 16 yrs.

Glad it worked out for you in the end thats what really matters. I have a bigger battle with my wife than anything else. She was speaking of taking the bus to Manila for her medical and at the end of the day taking the bus back. Its about 2 1/2 hours each way and I told her just to get a hotel but she doesnt feel safe.haha I told her to bring one of her strongest nephwes along for protection. I think she just lets her emotions direct her rather than reasoning sometimes. I was suprised to hear that she went by bus with a girl friend of hers to visit some of my friends in Zambales. She had a great time and of course once there was safe as can be. Her friend didnt want to go back to Los Banos...haha

Thanks again...

Oh I have one question for you . Was the interview in English? She can speak English but is most comfortable with Tagalog.

Signed, Sealed and Delivered!

Tom - SIF is Sign in Fail. I think its when you try to logon to the page where u pay the IV bill and AOS bill. If it says "Sign in Fail" or something like that. That means ur case is completed and will be forward to the embassy.

Tom- Nothing here. Husband hasn't been feeling well the past few days so I am hoping he will feel better before the week is up so that I can have some news to share.

John- Awww sad. I keep forgetting you aren't in NVC yet. I read, "I think it is when..." and thought "What? He knows what it means..." Sorry Big A! :innocent:
