Simala2006 said:Just received an email from immigration unit Manila US embassy about my case, stated on it that the packet 3 has been sent to physical address here in Cebu City since November 17 and they need the papers back for them to send packet four for interview! This is really good for I know that the receipt of the 1-824 application for my dependents was November 20, 2006, so the consulate do respond to this even before the said filing of 1-824. Another thing, My email was sent to them only by November 23 and another email the next day, November 24, 2006, so the packet 3 has been sent even ahead of my notification for the ftj status.
But the thing is, we have not received it yet until this time.. maybe it has been misplaced along the way. We will be contacting the embassy soon..
We are thankful though of such movement even if maybe we still have to make a lot of follow-ups of this case.
God bless us all!

Thanks for the encouragements!
Judex, Kamrans, Bisdakdreamer and everybody, thanks for being my lifeline here! Will there be a way that the officer will make a mistake about this? Or the letter is somehow computer generated and it gives the same content irregardless of what they are doing now? I mean, its retrogression time, and the way it is stated in the email that they are waiting for the papers they sent last Nov. 17 to my dependents for they will be given an interview.. I don`t want to encourage false hope for my husband for this... Hope it is not a miscalculated letter from them.. If Bisdakdreamer can post the letter sent to his wife for the reply of the email his wife has sent to US embassy in Manila then I can compare it with mine, pls Bisdakdreamer, can you post it for us? Thanks in advance!
I still hope for the best to come for all of us!
Peace!

Simala,
Different embassies/people in embassies work differently. Before OCt 2005 embassy people dont even know about the PD as what would be the PD of a FTJ applicant. Some people got the PD when their I-824 was approved and some got when their labor was filed. The actual PD is the date when the labor was filed. If its not that then you need to get this corrected either by USCIS or the embassy. But anyway since retrogression hits after a long time so they were unaware.
We have to keep in mind that if the PD is not current you will not get the immigrant visa. Sorry to say that but its a fact.
When I sent my papers first time the visa numbers were unavailable. Even then they send me packet 3.5 and when I fulfill all the requirements they send me back all the documents with a letter stating that my PD is not current and I have to resumbit the documents when it will get current.
I feel that good as at least my case got created. I know people who even got the interview date and when they went to the interview they have been told that the PD is not current.
So the bottom line is that if your PD is not current they can tell you this at any stage. But at least they should create the case number and tell us to wait.
Also the embassy requests the visa number from the state department. The DOS strictly checks the PD and if its not current it will not assign any visa number.
Sorry but this is the fact. I have been through this painful journey. There is no other option other than to wait and pray for the PD to get current.
Good Luck.

Prioritize first the Case No., after that, PD will be followed... No interview will be given or processed if PD is not current, like what Kamrans said, its a fact...
I'm just wondering, how did they(US Embassy Manila) know that you are going for FTJ? Even without filing the requirements for FTJ, they have created a case for your dependents? It's impossible... But I'm happy for you Simala, coz if that email is true, FTJ Case is created for your family.
Call the Embassy ASAP...
God Bless...

Really, its getting to be interesting!
Yeah, I`m also wondering why it has been stated that the packet 3 has been sent November 17 when I have not even filed yet 1-824 and also the email I sent to that email address you`ve posted was only an email without attachments or scanned documents? I think they mean December 17, maybe and got it wrong only...
I have sent the documents afterwards, but the email from Embassy only acknowledged my emails dated Nov. 23 and Nov. 24, 2006. Let us then wait and see for this! Judex, I can`t call embassy even if I like for they have not stated in that email the created case number for my dependents... you said that I need it to ask something from the call center! I have sent them email again to ask for the said case numbers and if its ok for them if I will just use downloaded packet 3 and send it if permitted to do so..
Thanks so much Kamrans, I know you are stating a fact just as what I also understand from other stories and postings! I`d like to honor your unending generosity to all of us needing enlightenment in here! All of us have to learn how to wait and pray a lot also in the process!
I`m just wondering if there are exceptions to the rule... I still believe in miracles! When God wills it to be, it will be done in His Name and glory!
God be with you all,

To Kamrans, Simala And Judex
Kamrans,
Thanks for the info. However, the article in the link you posted has been retracted. It is now corrected to "The correct information is that Senate Majority Leader adopted with the bi-partisan support the CIR in the top-ten legislative priorities for 110th Congress". Does this mean another step back for us? I do hope we get to see the end of all of this soon. Thank you for all the updates and hope you continue to share with all of us your valuable knowledge. You have been a gift to all of us...
Simala and Judex,
My spouse never really got an acknowledgement of the email sent. We just got Packet 3 in the postal mail with no mention of it as a reply/response to the email. Since the I-824 my spouse filed is still pending todate, I only assumed it was a result of the email. I got a very standard packet 3 like everyone else. Only the cover letter contained my name, my children's names, our dates of birth, case number and category. I did call the embassy. However after giving my case number and identification verification, and even before I can ask a question, the service center told me "I'm sorry we are not processing your category at the moment". I actually only wanted to correct my son's date of birth. But even that the service center replied, I can do when my case will be processed. This is really confusing and frustrating to all of us. When I got my Packet 3, I too had thought our case is being processed but it seems it is still a long wait for us. I see a lot of info from Kamran's post and he is indeed right. The FACT is we have to WAIT. But me too, like Simala, Im hoping for a miracle...
Good luck to us all. Continue to share all your info and updates. It is enlightening to know we are not alone in our hopes and frustrations along the way...

Dear Ms.xxxxxx:
This is in reply to your inquiries of November 23, and 24, 2006, regarding the visa cases of the referenced individuals.
The applicants are registered as derivative following to join beneficiaries of the xxxxxxxx employment-based (EX) visa petition with priority date of September 12, 2006, the date when the I-140 visa petition was filed with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
On November 17, 2006, a Packet 3 (Instruction Package for Immigrant Visa Applicants) was sent to the applicants’ address of record at xxxxxxx 6000 Cebu City, to initiate processing the cases.
The Packet 3 includes a Biographic Data Form (DS-230I), which the applicants should complete and return to the Immigrant Visa Unit of the Embassy immediately. When the applicants have all the required documents, they should complete the information on the Notification of Applicant Readiness Form (DS-2001), sign it, and return it to the Embassy's Immigrant Visa Unit immediately. This notifies the Embassy that the applicants are prepared for the immigrant visa interview.
To date, we have no record of receiving the DS-230I and DS-2001 from the applicants. Once we receive these documents, we will set an appointment and send the applicants a Packet 4 (Appointment Letter) with further details regarding the interview and the required medical examination.
If the applicants would like to inquire further about the status of the visa cases, they may contact the Embassy's Visa Call Center at telephone 1-909-101-7878. This number is for subscribers of PLDT and Smart telephone touchtone landlines with national and international distance dialing features (NDD or IDD access).

Hi everyone! Just remember something!
Got hold of the fax receipts I sent to US embassy when I arrived here in the Phils... and its dated November 16, so this might be the reason why they sent me the packet last November 17. From this, the fastest way to send it to them is thru fax... I did send my documents thru fax with the cover letter of course but only lacking the receipts of my application for 1-824, meaning, even without those receipts, one can ask for the packet 3 already!
I still expect for the best for all of us!
Peace!

But this will depend on what consulate we belong,, I mean, my case maybe, holds true to US embassy Manila...
Other experiences from other consulates, pls feel free to post yours, so our silent readers can gain knowledge from it! The best thing for me really is to share this with you all!
Whatever news from this, I will update you in the future!

Hi,
Based on Follow to Join, I - 824 has been approved and notified the consulate back home, my wife got a letter from the consulate with case number.
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...nnel=54519c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
States that 'This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your spouse, and your spouse will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available.'
Now what will be the next step.

Now you have to wait for the visa numbers to be available. This is reality and hard to believe but you have to accept it.
USCIS never updated this document. If your PD is current then you need to ask them to send you packet 3.5 and as soon as all the requirements are fulfilled they will send you packet 4 that contains the interview letter.
Lot of people in this forum and others are waiting for the PD to become current so that they can apply and get the immigrant visa for their FTJ derivative.
Good Luck.

States that 'This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your spouse, and your spouse will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available.'
Now what will be the next step.

Immigration reform act of 2007
Immigration reform act of 2007 introduced in senate. Has a long way to go. There are lot of conflicting provisions in the bill about illegal immigration and this may take a long time for the senators/congressmem to come to a point where they agree on the final version. Its more of a political game rather than trying to resolve an issue.
We all are extremely interested in the SKIL bill to be introduced as it only contains the provisions for the legal immigration. Nobody has any arguments against this bill but dont know why its not coming to senate/congress floor. If this bill comes to the floor I am sure it will pass with great majority within 2-3 months. The comprehensive Immigration reform may take a year or more depending on how they want to proceed on this bill.
