The reason I all writing is from my past experience recently with my orginial 129-f petition. Since the first day I fell in love with my Salve I read everything I could on filing the petition myself. We were approved 10/18/06. We were so happy just knowing we are closer to be together for ever and ever. I recieved the imporant letter from NVC and was knocked backwards to see our case number began with MNL and was sent to Manila Embassy. Even thou my Salve is flipino she is working on contract in Taiwan and I had indicated that several places on all our paperwork except one place and that was on the biographicial 325's.

I call Mr. Ray Bacon and he went over the orginial petition and indicated this had to be a NVC mistake. Well I called them of course the petition was already in process and no one would walk that extra mile to help there. I called the US Embassy in Taiwan and talked with a very nice lady who informed me the only thing they could do was to have Salve come to the embassy with her passport and visa showing she was a resident of Taiwan at the present time.

My dear Salve after working 12 hours on night shift took taxi well prepared with all the documents I had sent her the previous week. Of course she never made past the information desk but refused to leave till someone help her(GREAT WOMAN).They asked for the NVC letter I recieved which she had not receieved yet. So back home disappointed but yet she discovered that these clerks are just people following rules.

Again she return the next morning this time prepared with a copy of my NVC letter and a completed application for nonimmigrant visa as she was told too. I am sitting in California worried that she would not succeed I call the Taiwan Embassy at the same time she should have been at the information desk . The same lady answered that I had talked to before. I explained that Salve had a little problem yesterday and I want this lady to help us anyway possible. THANK GOD FOR HIS BLESSINGS. The next phone call I recieved was Salve , I could hear the smile on her beautiful face. They are getting our case transferred to Taiwan from Manila. The ladies were so nice to her they reviewed our support documents and other materials she needs for interview. They told her she had everything but the medical but that was needed as soon as they recieved case.

This is a set back of 1-2 months but stiil the ladies said for us to call the 2nd week in December to see if they have case and if so there is still a chance for her to be here in late December.

The MORAL of our story is TRIPLE CHECK ALL ANSWERS ON PETITION one little mistake has caused us the possiblility of being together for Christmas.
