Actively review - crazy progress times

[David Laf 1]

I will try and be brief. My Philippine Wife was denied a tourist visa 2 years ago, reason: we are both Geodetic Engineers-Manila Embassy. Got Married filed I-130 Spousal 6/2023. My progress, like many, went down to 1 week 3 separate times, then jumped to months, then "your case is taking longer" for 4 months.

At the year mark, one week ago, I was called in for Biometrics, at that time our "my progress" went to 3 months, three days later it went to 19 months. Has anybody else experienced this? I am very close to relocating to the Philippines, since I am blessed to be able to travel to the Philippines often and we now have a beautiful home there, but I really wanted for her to experience America and meet my family, but this disabled Veteran is losing all hope with the US immigration system.

It is difficult for a single PI Female to get a Tourist Visa, I assume she was refused as she could not show non immigrant intent.

 

The times quoted that you refer to are for amusement purposes only.

 

Your I 130 should be getting approved soon, Manila is heavily backlogged so it is about 2 years total.

It is not normal for the US Citizen petitioner to be called in for biometrics.  It happens when there is a "hit" (bad thing) on your name, and they are ruling you in or out as that person.  For your mental well being, I suggest you stop checking status.  The times are meaningless.
