I came to USA April of 2009, entered as K-4 derivative of my mother Married to US Citizen & live with them. Late July/2009 I got my Work Authorization Permit. Got a Job early Aug/2009 in one of the famous Fastfood chain in the US. March 2010 i was voted as Employee of the month in our company . On April 2010, my mom applied for my AOS+i-130, i was so happy then when i was called for interview after 5 mos, done with the interview with the thought that everything's ok as the lady consul told me. On that time I was really hoping green-card will fallow, but 2 weeks of waiting i was devastated ,my family too with the letter sent by Immigration says I was denied for reason that i am not illegible for my step dad's petition as stepchild, for ....that i was overage then for 2 & 1/2 months on the day my mom & my step dad's marriage. There are 2 options to choose from to which i can stay, first is to go back to Philippines, let my mom petition me as an LPR to an F2A category & no.2 option it to get a US bf & marry as what people advise me so i can stay, but i dint like the idea because I am not prepared yet for marriage, so I opted to just go back to Philippines & do the right thing. On Sept. 29/2010, my mom filed my F2A -i130 petition before my flight Oct1/2010 & on Oct 3, I got NOA1's with priority date Oct 1/2010. March 3, 2011 got letter notice i-130 approve, my case is now at NVC. For a while I am here in PH pursuing my studies & presently I am in my 3rd yr college,while waiting for my visa to become current, hopefully not too long, wishful thinking. God is good.
