Oh gosh hun I keep hoping that you will post about it leaving NVC. I have everything crossed I can for you. NO MARCHIES MUST BE LEFT BEHIND and that includes those without NOA2s. Come on USCIS get your butts moving and those at NVC too.

Thank you so much for all wishes and support, Becca! I trully appreciate it! 

I do hope they'll send us good news shortly.

At least USCIS petition has an expiration date so they are not supposed to keep us forever at NVC status. :)

Where can I get a Fingerprint form for Singapore Police Clearance? Thank you so much.

Registration Criteria: All applicants must complete an online application on the Singapore Police Force eServices website and submit the application with the necessary supporting documents:

  • A set of applicant’s fingerprint impressions (ten prints). Applicants applying in Singapore will need to book their fingerprinting appointment though the Singapore Police Force eServices website. For application by post from overseas, the applicant must submit a set of his/her fingerprint impressions taken by a qualified Fingerprint Officer at a Police Station or an authorized office of the country he/she is now residing.
  • A photocopy of applicant’s valid passport (showing biodata page).
  • Two recent photographs measuring 3.5cm by 4.5cm.
  • Photocopy of document from relevant consulate/immigration authority/government bodies or other requestor to establish that the certificate is required by such authority and that a statutory declaration of no criminal conviction by the applicant is not acceptable as evidence that s/he has no criminal convictions. All documents are to be translated into English if written in other languages.

Doesn't exactly say that the card has to be their card......    But:

 

 

On the website, there is a link for male and female fingerprint cards.  Dunno why it makes a difference Male Female?????   Also, I can't get any singapore website to respond, so I looked for an archive of the website to get the information.  Interesting, the US State Dept and the Singapore Police websites differ as Singapore Police site says that COC's are no longer available for non residents.  After 2010....

One of our Aprilites stuck at the NVC on Administrative Processing (we have a few) was finally cleared and their case sent to the Embassy after 4 weeks... That's a lot, but hopefully it won't be much longer now for you :)

 

I'm also taking the opportunity to tell all the Marchies, since I've been such a lurker during this process, that I was approved yesterday at the interview :)

Really? That's good to know, gives us some hope.

Can you somehow PM me a link on his timeline profile? 

 

And congrats on your approval! 

Great news! Yaaaaaay! :jest:

Have a happe ever after! :wub:

Hi, everyone! Been so busy these past few weeks. I visited my other grandma who's living in other town and said goodbye, also I bought my luggage. :3 only 5 weeks left til I see my man again🤗 I can't wait.. My Fiancé is having a little regret getting a plane ticket around that date as days seems getting slower now, but he keeps reminding himself he did it so i can spend more time with my family. 

Right now, I am just keeping myself busy with cleaning and getting rid off the paperworks. I won't be able to bring my album so I just took the pictures 😂😂 Ugh! I am also listing down the things I'm going to bring with me 😂😂 Like the filipino pancit canton, canned tuna, argentina corned beef, and some filipino sweets 😂 I wanted to bring DRIED fish since we have a lot of it here in the island, BUT my fiancé already told me NOT to bring it 🤣 he hates it! And he said we're living in an apartment, we might receive a complains if I cook it. :D 

I feel so anxious now.. I'm very sad about leaving. My Mama is starting to get very sad, I understand her because I'm their only child. But I just keep showing her that I am strong and not showing her that I'm sad, too 😊 2 years will go fast and I'm going to see them again.

 

anyways, congratulations to those who got their noa2s, got their NVC numbers and their approval as well as to those who went thru POE already ❤️🤗 

 

For those who are still waiting, I know it's hard but it'll be there soon.. Hang in there. 

 

God bless everyone! 🤗

Congrats on the visa approvals guys @Rev and @Estibaliz :jest:

Thanks for the well wishes @AnJ Co but yesterday was just my Medical exam! I've got another 3 weeks until my interview ^_^

 

I didnt have chance to post yesterday, it was such a long day. I left the house at 8am to head down to London for a 15:10 medical appt. I didnt arrive home until 23:00. CRAZY and tiring.

 

Heres a detailed summary for those UK filers still to do the medical:

  • I got the train to London at arrived at Euston at 13:10 with 2 hours to spare (incase of delays). I walked from Euston to Oxford Street to pass some time. The walk took 30 mins but the weather was fine out. From Oxford Street, knightsbridge is only a 10 min walk.
  • I arrived outside at 14:50 and pressed the button on the wall for flat 4 (medical centre). They let me in and the door to enter knightsbridge is to your right.
  • The ladies on reception were very nice and told me since I was early to take a seat and come back to the desk 5 mins before my appt time. I returned, handed them all my documents (pictures X4, medical questionaire, vaccine records, patient care summary, police certificate, passport and letter from NVC).
  • They handed me a clipboard with two forms to fill out (basically a repeat of what I already gave them, *sigh*) and a urine sample pot and bag to place it in.
  • After filling that out I waited for ~15 mins before being called to x-ray. Very striaghtforward, take off top, stand against x-ray board and get dressed again. She said all was fine and to sit back in the waiting room.
  • About 5 mins later the nurse called me in to discuss my vaccines. This literally took 30secs since I didnt need any vaccines doing. She explained I would receive a form at the end for my AOS (as people have mentioned on here).
  • Now here comes the long wait ... over an hour later, I was called to see the doctor. A very nice Eastern Asian looking man. He appologised for the wait and told me that the patient before me was quote *a very, very complicated case*. He put me at ease right away by making a couple of jokes. I signed some forms and he worked out my BMI. I sat on the bed and read the bottom line of the opticians board. He checked my knee-jerk reflexes, loked over my hands and arms, in my eyes, ears and mouth and told me to lie down. He took my BP, HR and commented on how fast my heart was beating (LOL). Took some blood and asked me to unbutton my shirt. He pushed on my stomach and checked my lungs using a stethoscope. AND THAT WAS IT! A TOTAL OF 10 MINS! He then commented ... 'you're the quickest case I have done today, thank you' and told me I was all done.

In total .. 20 mins in with doctors/nurses/xray and 1 hour 30 in the waiting room.

 

** a quick comment for all those who may be worrying about this: I had a previous 'serious problem' listed on my patient care summary. It clearly states in the knightsbridge email that you have to bring reports for this. I did not take any reports (didnt know where to even begin looking). The doctor simply mentioned - ahh I see you had gall stones and had your gall bladder removed at age 17. I said yes and he said thats fine. I would imagine for something more permenent - epilepsy, HIV, diabetes, MS etc you would need these reports. But for something not ongoing dont worry yourself about getting medical reports. You'll be fine with the patient care summary.

 

Sorry for the long post haha. But hope this helps someone and im glad its over with.
