Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status

[island_princess 2]

Hello everyone,

My husband emailed me a copy of his income tax return forms. I noticed that there is no signature in the

"Paid Preparer's Use Only - Preparer's Signature" part. I called his attention about it, and he said that we don't need the Preparer's signature and that is the only copy he had. I asked him to let them sign it, and I am having a hard time getting his cooperation because of his work schedule, especially that our interview is a month from now already.

Will this copy (no signature) suffice?

That line is only signed if he had someone else prepare his taxes for him.

I know, that's why I ask him (husband) to let them (tax preparation company) sign it. But husband says, that's the only copy he got.

Hi friends,

No time to catch up on the forums right now, but I know you all want to hear, Fely's visa was approved. The CO wrote something on a piece of paper that had the words "Administrative review" printed on it, then she said "now you may go pay for your visa delivery." I asked if there would be further review, and she said they are finished. I asked if we were approved, she said "Yes." So I expect the visa delivery soon. Delbros tracking doesn't seem to be working. I'll post more details later. See ya.

Gary and Fely

Well whether she wrote AR on a paper or not, the bottom line is she told you that you are approved and you got to pay delbros. I think that means you will get your visa....hopefully soon since I believe you intended to fly back together. Congrats on passing the interview and getting approved!!!

I just sent mine today, the packet includes form I-485, I-864, G-325A,I-765(optional). A copy of my I-94 departure record, birth certificate, 2 pictures, certified copy of our marriage certificate, I-693 from the civil surgeon, copy of I-797 notice of action from USCIS, our joint bank account and medical and dental insurance copy that has our names on it. The guide is on the AOS forum, thats what I followed when I was assembling my packet.

WOW! You were quick! We are still waiting on the certified copy of the marriage certificate. We applied for her SS card so I can add her to my insurance, but it hasn't arrived either. Hope it will get here soon.

Take care and God bless!

Scott and Mirasol (Honeyko 4 LIFE!!!!)

Yeah I hope she'll get her SS card soon, I think mine took a week before I got it. Good luck on our AOS applications We're on the same batch again

the cost can vary, so it pays to shop around. civil surgeon office locator. https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=CIV

we paid $20 to have vaccination records transcribed to the I-693a and $30 for the TD shot.

She did not write "Administrative Review" on the paper, it was a form titled Administrative Review. I'm pretty sure there is no AR, but since Delbros tracking is still down, we'll know when we get the visa. I'm optimistic about it, as there are none of the signs others have had with there is a review. I'll keep you informed. Thanks for the congrats.

Fely and Gary (hey its nice to have her here watching me type this)

Thanks Roy. So does it mean that I really dont need to have additional shots from hat were required by SLMEC? The tetmus and RPR shots may cost $250 each shot which I dont like to pay if really not needed. So far what I had in SLMEC are: 1 shot of MMR and 1 shot of Varicella. They told me to take another shot of varicella here or in the US and TD shot in the US since it is not available here in the Phils.

Pls pls advise..thanks.

Update...I just called the embassy and I asked the status of my wife's visa,(she got the 221g paper but nothing was checked) and they said everything was confirmed(paperwork) today and was sent back to the person(consul) handling the case.They said it might take a week or so to get to her case.... oh well, I guess I could wait. She's still waiting for her Nursing Board Exam Results, so she could get her license(anybody got info on that?when the results will come out)

wishing everything will turn out okay for your wife's visa.

hope she will pass on her nursing board exam. my friend who took the last nursing board said it was difficult.

btw, i checked on your timeline and i saw that me and your wife had the same interview date. what was her appointment time??? mine was 7 am. me and your wife could have sit beside each other then. in my case , i was given a pink slip with visa approved written on it and the consul said CONGRATULATIONS at the end of my interview but until now i have not yet received the visa. my fiance called up the embassy last friday to follow up the status and a lady told him that it is still at the consuls desk and to call back next thursday or friday(means this week) and not monday to wednesday because of the holiday so we concluded that our papers are on parking there at the consul's desk hoping that it wil be released when they are back on office. there is nothing that we can do but sit tight and pray.i will include your wife in my prayers too.

what reason the consul gave to your wife about the 221g???

Hello everyone! I'm here now with my future husband! Boy, it was a long way to be here... 28 hours, Jesus! But thank God, I made it here safe and sound and seeing David at the airport made me forget about the long and tiring trip... and oh, the jetlag. He's worth everthing to me! It seems so surreal that I am here with him. I had to pinch myself till I got bruised just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Anyway, it's going to be a busy month for me with all the adjustments to make, meeting my future in-laws, some new friends, plus the wedding preparations on top of everything.

I wish you all the best for those who will have their interview appointments for this month! And have a happy marriage to those who just got married!
