Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status

[sillygirl 0]

Congratulations are in order for a lot of folks here!

Chad&Lira, skeeter, starprog, jelloshot.... i know i probably missed a few.

Pasensya na po, lulubog-lilitaw ako dito. Parang pimple, pasulpot sulpot everynow and then. I try to keep up with what's happening here... not doing a very good job though. napapag iwanan ako ng balita.

Ooops! Sorry PW!

I forgot to post in this thread, hehehe! Going crazy now! :-)

Yes we finally got our visa after being refused at the interview cuz of my small income. Don't need much to live on here in Oregon and I had plenty of assets that NVC accepted.

Anyway, the CO told Lorna I needed a co-sponsor.

Yes, the papers got to the CO only 6 days after getting to the Embassy. I was shocked cuz it was so fast.

And actually it took 5 biz days for delbros to deliver to CEBU(lapu-Lapu)

Anyway Its been so great having this site to learn from and ask questions and read about other's adventures. But especially to keep me company while I went through the visa process without my wife.

Thanks everyone. Bought the tickets (NWA $850.00 to Medford Oregon)

Lorna will be here June 6 after she spends a week in Basilan visiting her family and saying goodbye!

Love you guys.... God bless and I pray for everyone's happiness and success.

Mike & Lorna

To ALL:

The CFO requirement can be accomplished in Cebu or Manila (depending on whichever is closer or more convenient for the beneficiary) and consists of two parts:

Part 1. Guidance and Counseling Seminar (a certificate of completion is given at the conclusion)

Part 2. CFO Sticker placed inside of the passport/visa (requires the Guidance and Couseling Certificate)

In Cebu, the Guidance and Counceling Seminar and the CFO Sticker are both administered and handled at the CFO in Cebu. Conversely, in Manila, the Guidance and Counceling Seminar is admistered at PRISM (on Taft Ave in Manila) and the CFO Sticker is given at the CFO in Manila. For both locations, the CFO Sticker can only be applied to the passport/visa once the beneficiary receives the Guidance and Counseling Certificate and visa from the USE.

NOTE: The Guidance and Counceling Seminar can be completed at any time.

Cheers!!!

Sheriff Uling

Is there any exemptions for the CFO? I'm pilipino.does that matter?

Hi guys,

I finished my medical last may 10 & 11...hmm...i think i passed it..i got no additional procedures or check...xray film was given to me and had MMR & varicella vaccines...the releasing nurse just told me to take 2nd shot of varicella and bring the xray film to the US POE...m relieved, i passed, right?

a lot of thank yous to Helen and PW...your advices helped me a lot and gave me encouragement...

Helen, i think we had the same doctor, she was not thorough on me and asked questions so fast...

please continue praying for me for my interview on the 22nd...i still have lots of worries in my heart but i wanna be positive, i have my high faith in God...fyi, the last time my fiance and i saw each other was on oct 2, 2004 but we filed the applxn in nov 2006...will this be a big problem? i hope the consul will understand our reason..we have reasons of course...pls pls pray for us...

thanks again guys...

That's great news Jeng! Congrats! Good luck on your upcoming interview. About the long year gap (2004 to 2006), just answer them with confidence and justification and try to look them "eye to eye". They are mostly busy typing and looking at their computer (the CO), so when the CO looks at you, have an "eye to eye contact" and smile. You will do just great!

Thanks thanks a lot Helen...you were a big help for me! together with the other guys here...btw, where does the interview actually takes place? is it in a small room? just you and the CO? or is it happens over the counter with mirror?

Is there any possibility that I-130 will be adjudicated earlier than I-129F? As you can see in my timeline, my I-130 (June 5) is near to being approved as compared with my I-129F (June 23). If in case, what should I do? We have not submitted my child's I-130 yet, since we plan to doing so during AOS. Definitely, I will not leave my child here in the Philippines. Please advise.

when you attend the K-3 interview, you are not giving up the CR-1. As PW earlier pointed out, the processing of a CR-1 Visa was running 3-5 months behind that of a K Visa. That is why many married couples pursue the K-3 Visa. It allows the couple to be together sooner in the USA. Recently it seems the CR-1 processing has been catching up to the K-3 Visa. that is why you now see many with K-3 interviews having their CR-1 interview only a couple of weeks after their K- interview.

pardon my ignorance everyone but what is the difference between tax transcripts and income tax return filed copy? or are they the same?

rea

they are different. The tax transcript is a record of your return that you can order by phone from the irs at 1 800 829 1040. I heard the embassy prefers the transcript to the actual return. It's a free service and I got my 2005 and 2006 transcripts in less than a week.

The embassy actually prefers a copy of your tax return NOT the transcript. If you show up with only transcipts you may be very disappointed. All they asked from me is 2006 tax return.

We used the transcript without any disappointment.

we used transcripts also. no problem.

thank you all for the replies, i have talked to my fiance and we decided to use his tax return for the past 3 years...if some of you are saying that either transcript or tax return did not post any problems then we can opt to just settle with the tax return only..watchutink?

Thanks for wishing us luck Joemaria. I been taking Tylenol with sleeping aid lately lol cuz its sure does hard to sleep

Understood, and i didnt attend the interview, yet I lost aloooot of sleep! But I can assure you, you will sleep good after the approval. I crashed and slept for like 10 hours!

Hi Gracy, your welcome!...oh im having sleepless nights too, can i have your tylenol?!

I hope this interview will be over soon so i can breath normal again, hehehe.

Hey Chad, thanks for wishing us luck, did Lira has her visa?! any updates?!! Im sure you having sleepless nights too in anticipation of her arrival, lol! Congrats and wish u all the best...

Chad I been keeping in touch with Lira, she said she'll be in Manila on the 24th for her 25th flight, I would want to meet up with her again so I can give my gift<edible undies> for the honeymoon hihihi

Only if the undies are low in sugar

Who needs edible undies...they just get in the way!

Hey Sheriff Uling, how are things in your neck of the woods? Thank you for your K1 updates. We should invite newcomers to our Manila thread to read your guide first. I will be looking at Deputy Sheriff's AOS guide when I'm ready to do my own AOS.

PW sis did you got my pm? I sent you 1 last friday, just wondering cuz didnt hear anything from you yet

Gracy, I apologize for my oversight. I have PM for you.

Sila ulo ko. I just booked a flight to PI, for next week. I leave next week thursday from Honolulu. I take PAL 101 direct to Manila. Oh well they say more than one trip is good.

Good for you Psoas. Your fiancee will have more confidence during her interview if you made more than one trip to see her. More brownie points too for the bona fides of the relationship from embassy's point of view.

Enjoy your trip but the PI is so hot, hot, hot now! I think our temperature is in the mid-90s. You will feel the heat as soon as you step out of the plane! Aaarrggghhh!!!!

Our visa journey is complete, but we still check in from time to time. Good luck to all!!

Hi M&M, I was just wondering about the two of you because of this CR-1/K3 discussion. Good to hear from you.

Updating list to congratulate dims who just got out of AR. To AnneiyandJackie, try to get a co-sponsor like dims did. Embassy released the visa for dims' wife 6 days after they submitted co-sponsor's Affidavit of Support. This is according to dims' post in another thread.

Is there any exemptions for the CFO? I'm pilipino.does that matter?

K visa holders are required to get CFO stamp even if they are marrying former Filipino citizens.

[vsmtghdy 2]

Thanks thanks a lot Helen...you were a big help for me! together with the other guys here...btw, where does the interview actually takes place? is it in a small room? just you and the CO? or is it happens over the counter with mirror?

Both with the pre-interviewer and the CO-> it will be a counter with window. With the pre-interviewer, there's no seats, so you will be standing, but with the CO, there are 2 seats per counter so it is more or less relaxing... (maski mangatog tuhod, naka-upo naman)...

Thanks thanks a lot Helen...you were a big help for me! together with the other guys here...btw, where does the interview actually takes place? is it in a small room? just you and the CO? or is it happens over the counter with mirror?

Both with the pre-interviewer and the CO-> it will be a counter with window. With the pre-interviewer, there's no seats, so you will be standing, but with the CO, there are 2 seats per counter so it is more or less relaxing... (maski mangatog tuhod, naka-upo naman)...

To add a little....the Consul window with seats is in a small room with a door opening to enter inside the room, but no door. You are separated from the Consul in the room by a wall with a window in it and a pass-through slot for handing over documents. If you wonder if its private....ummm....nope. The applicant that is next up after you will sit in the chairs outside the open doorway and can hear what is said inside. Not that we listened or anything.
