    What??? Cutesy nicknames but not married?? How can this be a problem? At the very most, an RFE/I later to clarify. I wouldn’t slow anything down, at the most, a simple clarification. The biggie is, are you officially married or not, with documentation, sounds like not. My beneficiary calls me ‘husband’ all the time, zero worries for me. I didn’t sent copies of those texts though. Anyway, I wouldn’t slow anything if sent, clarification at the most.

    I think it is over. Yes, I’d rather just give her $50, and forget about the piglets.

    I kinda squashed the idea, without any damage. I just thought it was a little out of the norm, especially with the 129F process moving along.

    This screams a terrible idea to me, am I missing anything? Things are well overall, a month or so until through the USCIS process, 129F. She was floating the idea of raising a few pigs for profit? She doesn’t have much room, little to no experience doing so. A quick net search shows the practice in the Philippines break even at best. Am I to much of a skeptic? Again, things are well overall. I think she would really try it. I’m just thinking, with the ultra low labor costs there, and expenses, any profit would be minimal. It’s like the neighbor selling backyard chucked eggs for $3 a dozen, profit is usually negative.

    I was told an ‘estimate’ of 1-3 months at the NVC. That would be a fair amount shorter than time at the USCIS.

    Where are the participants? You in NJ, he/she in the Philippines?

    Thanks, I’ll forget the idea of overthinking the process.

    Thanks, oh, I see the failure rate is down near 10-15%, so maybe not that bad. With that letting the cards fall where they may, will be the course of action. Just to reiterate, the plan wasn’t to show anything to St Lukes. It was to do an independent test, then if needed, independent treatment. I do realize St Luke’s would do everything independently, only dealing with their own treatment.

    Just an idea, the thought is to get a lung x-ray prior to the St Luke’s medical exam? What if the beneficiary went to another hospital to get a chest x-ray, looking for the same ‘sputum’ condition? Then if a problem was evident, one could start treatment months before the official medical check? What is the first time failure rate? Lung exam? Just a thought as the 129F is moving along. Some mention antibiotics, may I ask the type/name, OTC??

    I’m kinda new here, been poking around, trying to figure things out. Filling out your own ‘timeline’ helps, plus others can tell what you’re referring to. My timeline started to show 129F through the USCIS in Nov, it has slowly moved up to mid to later June. I’ve tried to get ready for the next steps, before they get here, not much I can do now. I recently got back from my 3rd trip to the Philippines, kinda a hike, but enjoyable. It’s another 1:40 flight after landing in Manila.

    I researched a little, consensus seemed to be, if needed you can get them with your medical check. I would lean to wait.

    Thanks, I’m learning.😊

    Hey, I know it’s an estimate, not making any plans based on the info. My first question, is there hope of the estimate being fairly accurate? The 2nd question, is that just for the 129F through the USCIS? After that one has the NVC then the interview & medical in the country. So does one have to ‘estimate’ another 4 months(or whatever) after the end of the estimate? I know, the easy answer is, it’s just an estimate. Just wondering with any that compared one to actual outcome. Thanks.

    Heading out today, through Haneda/Tokyo. After Tokyo my plan is Manila then down near Cebu.

    A related question, I have the 129F in process, only just over 2 months worth. I’ve never given much thought to the ‘Utah online marriage’, but never know. She and I are ready anytime, don’t mind before the end of the year for slight tax advantages. How would getting married change the 129F process? Would we start over with the other, married option? Again, just a question as we muddle through the long process.
  16. widude
    I just came back a week ago, she flew to Manila to meet this time. I’d get your butt over there & start with proof of a visit.
  17. widude
    A ‘Utah zoom wedding’ seems a bit much if not of met yet??
  18. widude
    I would try to do a ‘1st meet’ soon, providing all was well, you could start the 129F process with the proof of meeting. As far as flying over, long way, some expense, 30 days is a long stay. Long stays cost more $$. Why not go soon, get the proof of meeting, then fire off the 129F application? Since the 14 pages of the application takes a while, start it now, fill in parts later of meeting. One should get a feel for the relationship, if for some reason it turns south, you can opt out later by not completing required steps. Some suggest getting married is a viable choice, then coming to the USA, maybe. For me I settled on the 129F.
  19. widude
    You have to provide the proof of meeting in the last two years. I don’t think it matters at all if you flood them with ‘proof’. Of course with a handful off meetings, a few proofs from each.

    ‘Time will be short’? Is that to connect from international to your domestic flight to CLT? The normal procedure when coming in internationally is to go though immigration, collect any checked bags, then a potential Customs check. There are lines for everything, depending on other flights. After that it’s back in line and security again for the domestic flight to CLT. It varies, often a minimum of a 2 hours planned timeframe. I’d be so relieved to get through it all, I’d almost get a hotel room in Atlanta(that takes pets) and rest up some.
  21. widude
    Yes, I looked a little more. I see it will take longer at the USCIS.
  22. widude
    Yeah, that was a question, when does it move from the USCIS to the NVC? Like on average how long at each to the next step? For some reason I thought the longest sit was at the NVC, maybe not? I’ll look for a guide.
  23. widude
    Thanks, if that is fairly accurate mine should move to the NVC rather soon? I haven’t been notified of any issues, problems, or RFE’s. How long does it stay at the NVC before getting shipped to the embassy, Philippines? What are the differences on what’s being done, USCIS to NVC? I’m just trying to be ready for future steps, thanks.
  24. widude
    My timeline keeps inching up/sooner, from Nov now into September. Of course I like that, I understand it’s just an estimate. I’m waiting for the package to go to the NVC, 1st received by USCIS late Jan. Isn’t the move to the NVC usually after 45 days or so?
  25. widude
    Thanks, helpful to me.
