Exactly.  Let us focus on the paperwork needed for the interview!  That is more important.  

thank very much because here is where all my thought are right now of course the petition is submited and we get NOA1. but we need and we should do everything to to get the second step done with success also and this include get all the required documentation exactly as the want it to be.

 

please for someone to corect me if im wrong; 

- the petionner need to send a copy of all the documentations that he/she sent to the USCIS

- the affidavit of support 

-a letter from his / her employer mentioning information like when did the person stqrt working there and also information on the salary and stuff

- tax returns informations as well as income informations

a letter for the bank showing what is in the savings

 

another question is that; do they really care about how much you have in your saving if your incomes are good (excuse me it may be possible that i have asked this question beffore) but yes anyone can reply if there is an answer to help everyone.

 

when is the best time to fill the affidait of support? before the NOA2 or after. the question another way i'll ask if there is a certain amount of time  for the affidavit to be good or valid to be accepted by the consular officer once it's filled?

thank guy i'm long today sorry for that but it's important.

It seems as though the conversation had dried up a little until I asked my questions.  Then all of these other folks wanted to start getting touchy about everything.  I regret asking anything.  Lynn and I will figure it out on our own and we're very sorry for any grief caused by our questions.  Good luck to all.

i would ;like to tell you that  you're wrong saying you'll get the information on your own but it depend also in my country here in Togo even on the US consulate and or Embassy website there still questions not answered about bthis heavy process so stay here don't care () who's nervous or not because you can get your answer evem from the most nervous one here. so by your own maybe YES BUT ARE YOU SURE?

What is CFO GCP? 

 

Yes, she is a Filipino national and working in Taiwan.  We've listed her mailing address in Taiwan.  Any issues you see here?  Additionally, she is obviously cleared to work in Taiwan so her background is clear but does it create any issues you are aware of?

This question has been raised a few times but I don't recall the answers.  I believe they need to interview in the country that their passport is issued from.  This is a hot question over the past few days so we should have a definitive answer soon.

 

GCP is the Guidance and Counseling Program that is required to get a sticker in her passport that allows her to leave the Philippines.  

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

 

PDOS (Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar) is for ages 20-59.  Peer Counseling is for 13-19 years of age.

It is required to have the visa in their passport for PDOS and Peer Counseling.

 

GCP (Guidance and Counseling Program) is for K-1 Fiancee and IR/CR-1 spouse ONLY.

A RFE is better than nothing, though! I hope you get an approval, too!

@ernestadkins...I just got this answer in the Philippines forum..

 

Yes, the OFW can interview in the country that they are presently in at that point in time AS LONG as they are valid resident of that country. Such as having a work/family visa for that particular country is fine. GCP is not needed as long as they DO NOT fly to the Philippines and then to the USA. Yes, that is a question that does occasionally come up here as well. If they touch Philippine soil then they are required to go through GCP before heading to the USA and they can/will be turned away at the airport.

If they are residents in that country they can abide by those rules in that country such as divorce. It is common for Filipinos abroad to get a divorce in HK, Singapore, or any other country that allows divorce because the Philippines does not recognize divorce. But the USA will recognize that divorce and that person can be petitioned to live in the USA for a K1/CR1 visa after that as long as they have that divorce decree in hand.

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

 

PDOS (Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar) is for ages 20-59.  Peer Counseling is for 13-19 years of age.

Just to clarify John & Rose it wasn't you that started it, not to me anyway. Now I admit your comment made me second guess sending to many pictures but that was cleared up quickly it was the other person chiming in which I'm fine with them now as well. I didn't mean to get a dispute started. I know I was to defensive and I am sorry for that. I just didn't want others reading it second guessing what they sent in based on one person's opinion. That was my whole point because this is already stressful enough. We need to be here to help one another and lift each other up after all no one understands our heart ache better than fellow visa journey members. I am too choosing to keep quiet from here on out just for the simple reason I really don't want to start anymore arguments. I wish you all the best and I will be steadily lurking hoping everyone's receives very good news in the coming weeks!:wub:

She will still need the NBI certificate from the Philippines.
