Hong Kong sent documents and now still waiting on USEM.

How did you get the fingerprints in the Philippines? We were told to bring a request letter from a consulate/embassy but I have not received this.

Fingerprints are obtained from the local PNP Dept or in some cases the NBI. 

I am not sure of any request letter from the Embassy? They only state that if you have resided outside the country for over 12 months you must obtain a Police Clearance from that country.

Just take the requirements listed from the HK Police.

That's tax paid to the PH government.  I'm asking about the $220 fee for printing her plastic GC -- have you paid that fee to USCIS?  If not, here's the link -- https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee/

I dont recall. At what point of the IR1 process would that fee be presented?

It can be paid anytime after getting the visa on hand.  There's no deadline, but until USCIS gets the payment, they will not print your wife's GC.
