As in the title.

If the US citizen spouse is angry about something with their overseas spouse who is about to immigrate to the US on a marriage-based spousal visa (the one where he'll get a marriage-based green card), so much so that they want to "cancel" the visa, do they have the power or authority to do so? Such as threatening to "call immigration". As far as I know, there is no true "calling immigration".

Or, if they can't stop the spouse from legally entering on that visa, can they somehow stop the green card from being issued? Or anything else that they can sabotage?

My wife's and my I-130 spouse petition was officially approved today! To prepare for what's to come, I'm reading as much as I can about the NVC, medical, and interview processes. Is there a detailed guide somewhere about next steps specifically for Philippines beneficiaries? I already know in general about the CFO process, the need for a medical exam and vaccinations (and how this can get crazy with sputum testing and treatment), and the difficulty of scheduling an interview (refreshing the website every hour until a slot opens up). However, is there anything I'm missing? I don't expect the DS-260 or the I-864 to cause any issues but I know how unpredictable the US embassy in Manila can be from reading past stories. I'd love to learn about the document requirements that we'll have to submit that are specific to the Philippines (police clearances, etc.)

Any words of wisdom, gotchas, etc. from anyone who's recently gone through this process, or a guide I can read somewhere that's up-to-date?

Thank you all!

N400 interview last March 16, 2026 (with pending ROC I-751 application). Passed civics test and interview but officer said application will be reviewed since I still have an ROC application. March 16, 2026 USCIS account updated to Green Card produced (I-751) and Oath taking will be scheduled (N400).

For those who had their oath taking scheduled in Los Angeles or in other states, how long before you got your oath taking schedule?

Thanks.

I passed my interview over 2 months ago. Got approved as I was walking out of the office. The officer said I would get an oath ceremony notice in 2 to 3 weeks. As you can probably guess, I didn't Even though my case is not outside normal processing time yet, it's frustrating as hell... Is there anyone here who is in the same boat? Any Memphis filers waiting for them to schedule the oath ceremony? No name change, general provision, an easy case according to the officer
