DCF I-130 Filed today at Manila USEM

[7Ken 15]

Considering it's the USCIS (US Gov) I would think the policy would be the same but maybe it's not.

On your I-130 approval email you should have a case #, link to the DS-260, and a link to make an appointment.

If not and you are filing DCF I'm surprised USCIS operates under different parameters for different countries but obviously that is entirely possible.

To update:

Had my interview yesterday (March 30, 2016). Our shcedule was 7.30 am but they started letting people in at 6.45am and it only took us 35 mins to finish everything.

First they will collect your passport, appointment letter and DS-260 and put it in a ziplock.

Second: you'll go through security and will go to ticketing window and will be instructed to go to Door 2 window 38

Now for the actual process:

Step 1: Biometrics. They will ask for your DS-260 form and verify your application. (Line is long but because my baby's with me they let us go first)

Step 2: Finger printing (first in line again coz of my baby)

Pre-screening with Fil - collected 864s, bc, mc. Were asked forcour address in the US, DOB, Date of Marriage and name of petitioner. He was looking for our joint sponsor's W2 but we didn't have it, so he said it's gonna be the discretion of the CO.

Step 3: Oath taking (they made me skip this part and went straight to step 4 coz of my baby)

Step 4: Interview with CO. I was only asked for my name, DOB and date of marriage the other questions were asked to my husband like information about our joint sponsor, almost felt like it was not my interview but my husbands'

As soon as we got home, checked status in CEAC and it says Ready, checked today and it's updated to ISSUED weeee.

[kevin_jing30 0]

Ah ganun ba sis. Worried Ako Sa anak ko sis Kasi humingi Sila ng I-864w para Sa anak ko.

[Lhanz0729 52]

I think sis 864w is just to establish na exempt from 864 requirement baby mo.

Ah ganun ba sis. Worried Ako Sa anak ko sis Kasi humingi Sila ng I-864w para Sa anak ko.

So need talaga namin yun eh comply sis? Tapos tinanong Ako Kung anak ba sya ng asawa ko? Sabi ko Hindi. Yung kinuha yung 221g form.

[Lhanz0729 52]

Yeap you have to comply... Kasi if anak sya ng husband mo he can possibly qualify for CRBA baka kaya tinanong..

So need talaga namin yun eh comply sis? Tapos tinanong Ako Kung anak ba sya ng asawa ko? Sabi ko Hindi. Yung kinuha yung 221g form.

We have 2 cars, a motorcycle, bicycles, furniture, tools, etc to sell so I'm hoping maybe we'll be ready to go in a month or so? I didn't want to sell anything until we knew my wife's Visa was approved / in hand. I'm also waiting for my Visa here to be finished. They said Feb 18th but still waiting.

Probably end up applying for my exit clearance the same day I get my final 13a here.

We hope all goes smoothly for you and you enjoy your new life in the States.

[Lhanz0729 52]

Ooooh oooh just got my Visa today!!!

Next will be shopping for luggages, CFO sticker and plane tickets!

Wish you the best!
