@Ray--Congrats on scheduling interview date. Looks like Inday's interview will be in same general time frame as for your fiancee. When will Amy be doing CFO? (as per http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1348:fiancee-spouses-and-other-partners-of-foreign-nationals&catid=140)

That is amazing incredible about your child soon to be born. Will be thinking of you and sending prayers/hoping for the best for delivery, your travel, Amy's medical and the interview!

RK,

I believe in being prepared. I have Amy's CFO form all filled out and ready for her signature. My mother and I will be there for the birth. So, I have every intention of being with her for the interview. We'll wait until we hear the magic word, "approved" before worrying about the CFO. If everything goes as hoped for, Amy and Serena will be coming back with Mom and I on Nov 11. However, I've heard stories of K-1 visas being delayed until the CRBA is completed. I would estimate that would only take a couple of weeks if no DNA test is required.

My fiancee finally got her letter from USEMBASSY manila stating that she can schedule her interview. But the sad thing is that we still have to wait for her police certificate from brunie. And to think she cannot apply for the certificate not unless the letter from US embassy arrive since it is part of the requirement. Such a hassle. But anyway , we can now start the police certificate application hoping that we dont have to wait longer. I really am excited to bring her to US with me when I leave in Oct 7, hope things will work out fine.

If only you were leaving 2 days later, we might've been able to bump into each other at NAIA. :lol:

The cool part about the vegas wedding is the chapel will broadcast it over the internet so her family /friends in the Philippines can see it and feel like they are there....

Thanks for the congratulations everyone. I wish everyone luck.
