I-130 IR5 November approvals

[catedelacruz 1]

peace500,

I had my mom send me the original documents through LBC. She sent it on Monday (Philippine time) then I got it Wednesday morning (Cali time).

DHL delivered the envelope to me.

It is safer to send through couriers like LBC or even FEDEX (a lil more expensive through them) because you can track it. I would not recommend sending it through the Philippine Post Office.

My mom paid Php1200.00 for the docs. I think its a decent amount to spend knowing how important those documents are.

HTH.

Good luck on your journey.

So your consulate gave her the docs back after the interview?

she haven't had her interview yet. i am in the process of submitting the AOS and Visa application alongside the documents.

then once everything has been reviewed, then comes the Medical, and Interview comes last.

She requested three copies of the original civil documents from the National Statistics Office. One set was sent to me. Two sets are in her possession. So she could bring one to her interiew and in case NVC loses what i sent them, my mom has one set left as back up.

Where are you at in your journey anyway??

Are you just about to submit an i-130?

We finally got my mom's NVC number today over the phone. The agent asked my mom for her email address and was told to follow the steps on the email that will be sent to her. They also had to confirm MY email address that they have on file.

To those who already went past this stage, how long did you have to wait to get the AOS letter??

Thank you in advance.

They send mails at different times, I received my mother's the next day I got the NVC number but it took 1 week later for my father's.

Thank you for your reply. I hope to get the letter soon. I can't wait for my mom to be here. I am expecting my second child and it is so much easier having her around to help me out.

I got an email from NVC that had the NVC number and Invoice number and Beneficiary ID number.

It said to wait for further instructions.

It got me all hyped up.

Now, you can log-in to ceac.state.gov , you should be able to fill up the Choice of Agent form in behalf of your parents .

I tried doing that but it said wait for further instructions. It didn't let me do the ds-261. I guess we will have to wait until they send me the email with the barcode and all.
