Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status

[Sheriff Uling 3]

By the way, I can open the entire plastic envelop where the yellow envelope is enclosed, right? [it is only the yellow envelope I am not allowed to open]..

Yes, you can open the plastic to get your passport but don't open the "envelop".

Please review section 6.1 of the Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide...

guys just a quick question. if the pre-interviewer would ask for the affidavit of support, what would i give them? BTW im having a CO-sponsor. i will give him/her both I-134 from my petitioner and co-sponsor? should we need letter from the co-sponsor stating that they will be our co-sponsor or what? thanks

congratulations on the approvals and good luck for those upcoming interviews

When they ask for anything financial do as ading Helen said. Have a folder with everything thats related to finances [i-134 plus ITRs, bank letters, statements etc.] in ONE folder and hand it all the them.

Do the same with evidence of communication, photos, NSO certificates etc.

yes thats a great idea. thanks!

Hello all! Just had my state ID... it's a Non-Driving License Last Friday, I had my first driving lessons from my husband and it was aweeeeeesommeeeeee! We're now on our AOS stage and waiting patiently for some movements... With all the applications submitted before July 30th, it looks like it's going to take awhile before we can hear from USCIS.

Oh well...

Hi Gracy....us too! Except the freakin' DMV girl did not tell us until AFTER she took our money and handed us a worthless receipt that we can't get the state ID till we get a green card! We won't need a dang state ID after we get a green card! Needless to say.....I was a bit

We flew back to US on Friday, August 17th after picking up the visa on Thursday, then getting the CFO stamp...

Somehow I managed to get sick along the way, so instead of enjoying our first weekend in the US together, all I have been doing is sleeping

But at least we are home now and this phase is over!

We had Detroit as our POE and things went smoothly, the customs officer asked us a couple questions (how did you meet, how long have you known each other, when do you plan to marry).

I think that was the fastest I have ever made it through customs ... (I have used both Detroit and LA as POE in the past when returning from the Phils)

OK, now on to AOS!!!

Hay.. I had trouble with the DMV too. The people here were actually nice about it.. They were going to give me a state ID (I still use my Philippine license, since here I'm allowed to drive on it for a year, unless I get Permanent residence status first), but weren't sure how long it would be valid. They called the Columbus office, and THOSE people said they can't give me one because my passort and visa are in my maiden name (of course.. it's a k1 visa) and my letter from the DHS (NOA) was in my married name (Duh.. i got married), so even if I had the marriage certificate (original!) it doesn't count. The people in the local office were surprised, but.. they had to go with what was said. But at least I didn't pay them yet.

Any of the other AOS people gotten their interview dates yet? Besides Ate Luz? Just got mine today, and I'm *(@^#in scared. Stress levels just skyrocketed! Mainly because I have no idea where to get "evidence". We only have marriage-stuff, a joint bank account, and insurance. No bills, no nothing, because we live with my parents-in-law (but pay them rent) so everything's in their name. Gah. :stress:

Sis Jackie, ano balita sa iyo? Haven't heard from you in a while!
