You will want to look into long term care insurance because nursing homes are very expensive.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with your I-693.

By the way, you really did not need another exam, just a completed I-693.

The embassy won't be looking at your checking account nor your savings account. They may look at your current sustained income. That is why you'll want to complete your I-134 and back it up with your 2015 income tax return and your 2015 W-2 (or your 2015 tax transcript), and some current pay stubs. A letter from your employer wouldn't hurt either.

If your income exceeds 125% of the poverty level for your household size, you won't have any problem.

On a side note, the U.S. Embassy Manila has not been asking many K-1 applicants to submit their petitioner's I-134 nor their income tax return. However, the applicant will want to have it in case they are asked to submit it.

The pinoy prescreeners can be a lot tougher than the 'kano consular officers, but don't worry about it. When the 'kana welcomed you to America, that meant that you were approved. Congratz...!

Throwaway...You don't need an appointment. However, you will save time at St. Lukes if you pre-register.

Also...I agree with Philippines^Sagot about coming in later.

Its like visiting to ur gynecologist ?

The doctor does not touch the private parts...only a quick look.

Just keep calling them...or go there and camp out...!

There is nothing to worry about. Every case is different. Your magical day is coming soon.

I don't know how you can speed things up unless she (or her lawyer) knows someone in the solicitor general's office.

Congratz on the great news, firstimers...!

Eugene, Oregon?

She's going to need a bunch of warm clothes...!

Congratz on your great news...it won't be long now...!

You can file the I-130 without your 2015 tax return. You do not need to file your tax return first.

Filing the I-130 does not require you to provide your 2015 tax return. Your 2015 tax return is not needed when you file the I-130.

It will take several months for the I-130 to be approved and forwarded to the NVC. At the NVC, you will need your 2015 tax return for the I-864. This point will be well past when you will file your 2015 tax return.

I believe he's already filed the I-130 and he's at the NVC stage.

Don't forget to budget $500+ for a barangay party...!

By the way, their adjustment of status will sneak up on you before you know it.

You need to file your 2015 income tax return first.

You are well within the "normal" time frame...hang in there...!

Hey...you guys are getting close to visa day...hang in there...your magical day is coming...!

File now. Your current pay stubs and your employer's letter will almost certainly show that your current sustained income exceeds the poverty level for your household size.

Thanks, everyone! God bless us all.

Still waiting for my visa to be delivered.

Malapit na...!

Well...you must be psychologically in good shape if you can make it all the way through that epic exam and interview...!

At most, a few days longer.

You are very welcome...and best wishes for a smooth visa journey...!

When your fiance's petition is approved, he should wait a couple of weeks or so until the National Visa Center (NVC) receives his approved petition and assigns an MNL case number to it, then start calling the NVC every day until they give him the MNL case number.

Once he has the MNL case number, you can pay the visa fee at NBI, schedule the embassy interview, and complete the medical at St. Lukes Extension Clinic.

The U.S Embassy Manila web site has all the rest of the details.

Hey...why not get the CFO seminar out of the way...then you can check one more thing off of your list. It's easy to go get the sticker attached to your passport once you have your visa. Good luck on your visa journey.
