Going to the US: I-130 Petition (Spouse/Immediate Relative)-Part 2

[little_missy]

i think once ur approved.... yung delivery charge nalang ng delbros ang babayaran.

[pacific girl]

usually how long will the greencard arrive after the biometrics? coz for my case, i had my biometrics last sept, til now wala pa ring response yung uscis. i've been constantly checking my case status online, but never naman siyang inupdate. should i give them a call?

are you sure nung sept pa yung biometrics mo? its way too long sis, dapat 2-4 weeks may greencard ka na... hindi ka ba sinabihan na if you dont receive your greencard within 30 days ay dapat mag inquire ka na? punta sa nearest us immigration jan s place m

proof of a meeting prior filing of the petition
proof of a genuine engagement or fiance/e relationship

sis anong klaseng mga proof tong sinasabi mo.. para mapaghandaan n namin toh n bf

i guess para sa aking ang sagot mo sis hehe... salamat

[kaikski]

betchy_bechay: hi sis, yes, delivery na nga lang ang babayaran. With the verification fee, sabi nila 2 weeks before your interview e bayaran mo na para maverify na yung Birth certificate/Cenomar. Pero lamo nung nasa Window 37 nako, sinabi ko kagad sa mama yung nagbayad na ako ng verification fee, mali daw na nagbayad ako kasi nga daw di ko naman kelangan, i guess kaya ndi ko na kelangan kasi naverify na nila yung Birth Certificate at cenomar ko. And one more thing, kahit na kareceive ka na ng text from delbros na inaacknowledge na nila yung payment mo sa verification fee, call them again kung napadala na ba talaga sa embassy. kasi may nabasa ako sa forum na nakareceive na sila confirmation form delbros, but delbros failed to transfer it sa Embassy, kaya ayun, nadelay ng ilang weeks ang pagbibigay ng Visa.


pacific girl: proof of a meeting - means dapat nagkita na kayo ng fiance/e nyo, 2 years before filing the petition. pieces of evidence like: passport stamp, airline tickets, photos with date, etc.

proof of a genuine engagement or fiance/e relationship - engagement ring receipt, love letters, photos, phone bills, etc.

yea.. mga end of sept pa ako nagbiometrics..yung brother ko naman october.. same kami na til now wala pa ring greencard.. medyo weird nga kasi ang sabi sa akin ng mga friends ko na nagkagreencard na..usually 2-3 months meron na daw..

everytime iccheck ko naman status ko..walang pinagbago..dated sept 11 pa rin yung update.. yun ata yung date na pinadalhan kami ng biometrics sched.. tawagan ko kaya..

matindi talaga ang backlog nila nowadays. most of our clients are also complaining kaya lang, wala naman kaming magawa dahil processing time na nila yan and we are always at their mercy because we are the ones trying to avail of immigration benefits.

patay na kami n bf nito.. walang dates yung pictures namin, konting konti nga lang pics namin dahil "camera shy" daw sya!!!! haha, pero meron akong copy ng plane tickets...

dont have any engagement ring kasi hindi naman priority samin yun.... phonecard gamit ko lagi pag tumatawag ako... so walang phone bills!!!!!!!! ay naku we need to start na pala collecting this proofs... sakit na naman to ng ulo

nung inaantay namin yung greencard namin mabilis lang sya dumating...kahit last year nung nagpareplace ng card yung sis ko in less than a month dumating yung greencard nya... mas maganda talaga sis tawag ka na lang

[kaikski]

^ hi sis, kahit wala naman nakaprint na dates sa photographs, ikaw na maglalagay ng date sa likod ng photo. yan din prob ko before, yun naman pala pwede na ikaw ang magsulat. Lagay mo na lang: date and place where the the photo was taken. Ok lang na walang engagement ring/receipt, additional proofs lang naman yan, since samin kasi patunay na umuwi talaga sya Philippines and bumili sya ng singsing using his credit card. Ipunin mo din yung phone cards mo just in case.

[pacific girl]

thanks a lot sis.. sige iipunin k din yung mga phone cards 

ask ko rin po, we're thinking kasi if anong mas magandang option, petition as spouse or petition as fiance? kung petition for spouse po ba kailangan k munang magfile ng change of status after the wedding or pwede na kahit hindi na lang 

[kaikski]

tingin ko sis, dapat married na ang status mo pag nagpetition ka ng spouse. kasi baka ibalik lang yung forms nyo kung makikita nila na single ka pero pinepetition mo e husband mo. after the wedding magpalit ka na status.

pareho lang sis na 9-12 month ang petition ng spouse and fiance/e, pero sa spouse may option ka na pagdating ng husband mo sa US e immigrant na kagad sya, 12-24 months nga lang ang processing.

[Jampauline]

hi! nainterview na yung bro ko sa US embassy this morning and okay na lahat. nagbayad na lang siya sa delbros kanina. after how many days kaya bago mareceive dito sa house yung visa?

[kaikski]

^pinakamatagal na yung 1 week if you're in manila area. Sakin i received my visa after 4 days.

[Jampauline]

^^ thanks sis! my bro will be turning 21 na kasi this march

[cha-cha]

ask ko lang mga sis, gano ba katagal bago magkaron ng case number?yung nag-i-start sa MNL? kasi hubby filed I-130 nung March2005 pa, meron na akong receipt number, pero til now, wala pa rin yun NOA2 or yun ngang case number..e di ba iba ito sa receipt no.?naunahan pa nga datnan ang sister ko e, e mas nauna nagfile si hubby. sa California center pala ako at si sister e sa New york filed by my parents..i know factor din ang processsing center, pero ang tagal naman ata..

also, my hubby tried to call their number, pero pabalik balik lang daw sa instructions, wala syang makausap. TIA

[pacific girl]

^^ sis i think its better to go or call sa pinakamalapit na US immigration office kasi masyado ng matagal yung pinag aantay niyo

thanks ulit sis kaikski alam mo nawala talaga sa isip ko yung pagcchange ng status, LOL
buti na lang niremind ako ng officemate ko.... hay kahit ano talagang way ng pagpetition medyo matagal din ang processing...

sis Jampauline nasa province kami noon pero in less than a week dumating din yung mga visa namin... natawa pa nga yung nagdedeliver dahil hindi makapaniwala yung mom k na dumating agad... 

[crla]

hello question, would anyone know how long it will really take for the green card/resident card to arrive? sabe kasi nung person sa airport na ngcheck ng visa packet ko approximately 6-9 months daw. parang ang tagal naman yata nun, diba dapat around a month lang? i just arrived here in San diego 2 weeks ago (my dad petitioned me). thanks i advance.

[graysonia17]

hello mga sis...question nman po...tapos na yung interview ko sa US embassy last Feb.19, ok nman yung interview as per consul,CR1 ang category ko, pero when they called me sa window 37 the guy said they need to verify some documents, and yung nakalagay sa white na paper" wait til you hear from us"  , pero binigyan nya ko ng pink slip and he said that I need to pay for verification fee that is P650 and P165 for delivery of my visa, pero until now worried pa rin ako kung approved na ba talaga ako, mga sis pag nagbigay ba sila ng pink slip and pinagbayad ka na ng delivery ng visa meaning ba nun approved na may naka experience na ba sa inyo about this? ask ko yung guy sa window 37, he said he has no idea how long will it take  , nabasa ko sa old thread from "cutiemomsies" na after 1month wala pa rin yung visa nya..ganito ba talaga katagal  gusto ko na makasama ang husband ko...mga sis paki  share naman kung may mga idea kayo please.....thank you so much in advance....
