May I ask when I you get your greencard, are you required to stay in the US for a certain period first or you can leave anytime as soon as you already have your greencard?  Does anyone know?  Thanks!

^sis, you should receive the PACKET 4.
andun yung mga requirements for the interview.

proof of a meeting prior filing of the petition
proof of a genuine engagement or fiance/e relationship
your birth certificate and cenomar (certificate of no marriage)
   - both printed on NSO paper
nbi clearance (for travel abroad)
police clearance
medical at st luke's (hindi sa QC ah, malapit sa rob place manila)
evidence of support (form I-134), si fiance mo ang magbibigay nyan sayo
    - ipapanotarize nya yung form, tapos kumuha na sya ng certificate of employment
yung ITR nya, paystub, letter from the bank, may instructions naman dun sa form
DS 156, DS 157 and DS 156K forms


sis, kung ndi mo pa narereceive yung packet 4 mo, ask mo na si fiance mo yung
case number nyo, it should start with "MNL" then numbers na, alam ko may sulat na binibigay sa kanya with tha case number,
para makita mo na yung date of interview at medical para makapaghanda na kayo ng maaga (may link sa first page para makita mo
schedule mo). may iba kasi late nila narereceive
ang packet nila, ako nga last week of december ko nakuha, so sobrang naghahabol kami sa requirements ng fiance ko
kasi ndi kami nagreresearch at nung nareceive ko lang packet dun ko lang nalaman na kelangan namin ng ganito, ganyan..
lalo na letter from bank, sabi 5-7 days lang, hanggang nagyon wala pa nakukuha fiance ko.

sis, ndi naman maaapektuhan kung bad credit ka dito sa pinas, ndi na nila tatanungin yung standing mo sa banks, si fiance ang dapat maganda ang record, he should meet the poverty guidelines.

sis, visit ka sa visajourney.com, marami ka matututunan dun.

hi sis, i think makakakuha ka naman ng nbi and police clearance. and yesm kelangan mo ulit mgprovide nyan sa interview pati ng cenomar sis.

yes, you will pay document verfication fee P650, they encourage the applicant (that is you) to pay the fee 2 weeks earlier
ng interview. may instructions sa website ng US Embassy Manila on how to pay and to verify the deposit with Delbros.

you will pay $145 for the medical, pero in Peso ang bayad, i had my medical last Jan 23 and I paid P6,090. I suggest you take your medical a week earlier than your scheduled medical. and avoid going there on Mondays and Fridays, bugsuan daw kasi ang punta ng tao pagganyang araw.

for the visa interview, you will pay $131, Peso din ang bayad sa accredited BPI branches (may list ng accredited BPI branches dun s packet).
Ivvalidate nila yung DS-157 form mo para makita na nagbayad ka talaga, you may bring your own form pwede rin naman sila na magprovide for you.

Sis, yung DS-156 form, online ang pag-fill-up nyan, dito po http://evisaforms.state.gov/ . You need two sets of that form, just print it twice.

sis, alam mo na ba kelan ang interview mo? :)

^ah kala ko naaproved na kayo.

sis, pls go to visajourney.com, marami ka matutunan dyan, lalo na magfifile pa lang pala kayo.

9-12 months ang K1 visa. naapprove kami sa 7th month, na-RFE (Request for Evidence) kasi kami kaya nagkadelay ng konti.

HI mga sis!  I just want to share and sana my mkapag-enlighten sa kin abt this.

July 2007 nag-file petition I-130 husband ko sa USCIS (California Service Center) receipt date was July 23, 2007.  Then september 2007 nag-file sya ng K3 (follow-up petition para  mapabilis pag-alis ko, hehe!), receipt date was Nov. 2, 2007.  The nag-check ako sa case status online sa website ng USCIS, last updated date ng both CASES (I-130 and K3) was Nov. 19, 2007.  Nakalagay dun it means daw na my ginalaw cla sa case.  E until now wala pa kme approval from USCIS.  DI ko lang alam if they are going to follow the K3 receipt date, since nag-file na rin nun asawa ko.  Kc nga inisip nia mas mabilis nga daw K3 kc dun na process lahat.  Pero mukang mas napatagal pa ata sa K3 (Kainis!).  As in, unitl now Feb.14 (araw ng mga puso..hehe) wala pa rin kme approval.  Ganun ba tlaga katagal?  Legal nman lahat docs namin.  Dito kme kinasal sa Manila last August 2006.  He filed the petition kc after nia mag-citizen sa US nung June 2007.  Ka2loka talaga mag-antay.  Buti di me nag-reresign pa, kc nga mas naka2buro sa bahay talaga mag-antay.

huhuhu..Help!  pwede ba ifollow-up un sa USCIS?  My form ba para dun or kahit email pwede ba ifollow-up?   :)

What does thismean sis?  Are your parents presently residing in the Phils even if they already have a greencard?

^2003 - na-approve na yung petition. so they went to US together with my brother who's about to turn 21. and dahil sa bilis ng mga pangyayari, madami pa sila naiwan na transactions here in the Philippines. during that time, my brother was in the middle of school year. luckily, sem break nun.

my brother also filed for a re-entry permit -- good for 2 years. so he was able to finish his college course, and even took the boards.

my parents naman stated that they have previous engagements that they have to attend to.

before the permit expired (2005), they all went back to US.

Mine was filed last May 2007 and we already have the interview date and the medical exam. I urge you to tell your husband to call the USCIS since he is the petitioner. You can look for the number on the internet.

Normally, the whole processing will take 6mos, natagalan lang yung samen because NVC keep on losing our papers kaya ulet ulet kame nagpapadala.
