thanks for those who congratulated us...as i visit this site i learned a lot from people here.....their joy, their sorrows, their dissapointments.....but its nice to see friends here who says encouraging words and who are very helpful and ready to answer questions to those who really dont know what is going on with their papers.....and what will happen next.....GOD BLESS you all

so......

my husband and i know that its still a long wait for us.....we were approved March 10, 2006 and they will forward our case to NVC.... my husband wants me to ask you good people of VJ......

while waiting for the approval of NVC and approval of manila embassy.....what are the things i should prepare? what are the things you bring when u had an interview at embassy....

We were approved in Jan. Take a look at NVC forum - some excellent posts re the next stage of your journey. Brilliant links. Aussiewench (bless you) and others helped us on our way. We downloaded ds230 and I sent to my hubby (US cit) in preparation.

We are currently waiting on copy tax transcripts to send in.

Shortcuts and tips on NVC forum help enormously. NVC also have an automated phone line (it hasnt been working this past week) to check on status of your file. I moved from checking uscis process dates to calling this line (warning --- just like chocolate addiction!!!) I dont have the number to hand -- help someone pls post.

Congrats again!

Not sure if you missed my post in your other thread with some of the links Daisy is referring to.....here is the link for you just in case you did....

Also here is the link to 2006 Poverty Guidelines and I-864 Guidelines

You can also start getting together all the evidence on your relationship that you will need for the interview. Evidence to show that you have a bonafide relationship/marriage. You do have a long wait yet though, so plenty of time, as once your case is complete at NVC there appears to be at least a 6 month wait for an interview in Manila

There is also a Manila Embassy thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=181 so you will be able to get information regarding the interview itself and any specific requirements that pertain to Manila.

Cheers
