Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status

[Pinay Wife 47]

Hi PW, after Byron got his dissolution paper we really intend kase to get married here, so we have all those paper work but we didnt use it because we changed our plans and figured that K1 is faster than K3. Thanks for the advice I'll be taking those out on my folder now cuz it might just put me on AR. Thanks again

If that is the case, I suggest you bring na rin the documents you mentioned but keep it separate from your other documents. If possible, put them in a sealed brown envelop so even if you accidentally drop them, it stays sealed and nobody would see it.

I am sure the embassy has a record of Byron's request for legal capacity to marry and if embassy timing was perfect when they were doing marriage index/background check for you, the marriage license would have popped up so be prepared to answer trick questions. If legal capacity or marriage license comes up during the interview, do not deny it. They might even ask you if you still have the original capacity and license (proof that they were not used) that's why I suggest that you bring it na rin. Explain that you both figured that K1 is faster than K3 so you decided not to marry. You should be all right.

It may be the exception rather than the rule, but I've heard a few say they received their visa on Saturday, and even one on a Sunday. Guess it's possible, probably not when you really need it though...

I cant thank you hard enough for all the advice PW,<Im sure all the other members feels the same way too>, would you have time for a date with me and my son? Lol Maybe we can meet when I get in Manila if you have time so I can at least make bawi

Im still wondering... DS 156 asking for applicants signature, should I sign for my son?or I'll just stamp his thumb mark? His only 3 yrs old. Any input will be appreciated

hi guys, need help remember i told you we sent an email to NVC to enquire if our case has been received by them, our inquiry was sent last May 6, indicating in the subject our case number and we also indicated the following info in the body of the email:

Case # from USCIS:

Petitioner's Name:

Petitioner's Date of Birth:

Beneficiary's Name:

Beneficiary's Date of Birth:

Approval date:

But when NVC replied yesterday, their letter says like this:

Dear Madam,

The National Visa Center has received your inquiry regarding name/case#. After searching our records, no information was found regarding this case. Please contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS- formerly known as INS) to verify the status of this petition.

Regards,

Perhaps you should wait another week or two. My petition took 2 1/2 weeks to reach the NVC.

I had the same response. My apologies because I should have remembered that in my response to you... Well, either you case has not been sent to the NVC by USCIS or NVC has not begun processing your case. Follow-up again in another week or two as advised by StarProg...

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong except the fact that the hand-off between USCIS and the NVC is slow. I've read in an extreme case where it took longer than a month... but that's extreme. It seems to normally take about 5 - 10 business days.

Cheers!!!

I have to say I don't know the technical answer to this question for sure, but I think I remember reading somewhere that you will just sign with your signature and then the words, "For (insert your son's printed name here), Age 3)"

Hi

It took mine over 3 weeks to get to NVC from CSC. Its really hit or miss, in the beginning of April the VJ's listed here in the timelines, from the CSC were showing as averaging over 3 weeks. So don't get discouraged. Send the email every 3 days or so. If you haven't recieved anything by 4 weeks, try calling them. You can call them as well as email them. (National Visa Center (NVC) | (603) 334-0700 press 1, then 5)

Good Luck
