Yeah you probably should have jumped on that Social Security card a lot quicker. We went down to the local SocSec office within the first week of my wife's arrival at the end of May last year. Just dedicate a full day and go down to your local office and get stuff done! -

MarJhi replied to SobraGwapo's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Amendment to my prior post. 6 months to me is whatever the same date of the month is 6 months from now....UNLESS it is specified that it is 180 days. A 90 day requirement to get married once arriving in the US is not a 3 month requirement, it is exactly what the government specifies it is (90 days only). Regardless, just get things done correctly ASAP and forget about the semantics -

In my opinion, 6 months is the exact same date 6 months from now regardless of the length of the months. So, 6 months from June 15th, 2024, would be December 15th, 2024 -

If she is abusive as you say then I think you need to first and foremost get away from her. You don't want it to escalate into physical abuse (if it hasn't already) so you just need to get away from her and deal with the financial consequences later.
-
At this point you are still several months away, more so if you decide to slow walk the process by scheduling interviews and medical appointments as late as possible without things expiring. Just remember, so many people were so close to being with their loved one and BAM!!!, the covid mumbo jumbo happened and they were stuck in limbo for a couple of years. Crazy things can cause delays, especially considering we are in an election year, just about the same time when all the silliness happened last time. Whatever your extenuating circumstances are, I would bet you can overcome them rather than experience the delays that happened for many of us a few years ago.

Medical Question
-
No fasting required. Use this time to gather any vaccination records she may have or get hold of. Any required vaccines she does not have a record of will be given on day 2 of her medical.

For what it's worth, last year in the Philippines my wife was not asked for pay stubs at her interview. However she did have in her possession my most recent tax return but was not asked to show it. We had her bring a collapsible file folder with everything available at her fingertips just in case an unexpected request came up. The only thing they asked for was visa photos versus passport style photos. Which she had 2 extra sets of each on hand. Visa size is slightly different than passport size and they wanted 4 of them. Just take an extra copy of everything you have just in case. It doesn't cost that much to bring extra copies and can save a lot of headaches if by chance they ask for something at the interview.

MarJhi replied to widude's topic in Philippines
It has been my experience that nearly all business ventures started by Filipinos lead to very small profits, which they are okay with or at least that is their expectation. Anything NOT losing money is seen as a gain, you are thinking with an American mindset. -
Consider yourself lucky. Due to the covid nonsense and the travel restrictions involved my fiancé (now wife) and I didn't see each other in person for 3 years. Problems are never as big as they seem, it will all work out in the end.

Yeah my wife did not have a flu shot in the Philippines and got to the US just fine last summer without it. She got an RFE for her AOS a couple of months ago and it was for her to have a flu shot. Once she got the flu shot her AOS was approved and she received her green card a month or so later.

I would suggest the best thing you can do for now is to gather ANY medical/vaccination records as you can if that information is available to you. I know some areas of the Philippines that medical recordkeeping is not the best, but maybe you will get lucky. The remote area my wife grew up in had no records available. My wife had to get a couple of vaccinations on her medical at St. Lukes that she had no evidence of, however she had the vaccine scar on her arm from childhood vaccinations and they let her slide on those. She had paperwork for her 2 doses of the covid vaccine (Sinovac) so that was a non-issue. By the way, don't just collect any medical records available, try to gather school/employment records or anything else you can think of while still in the Philippines. You never know what you might need once you are in the US.
-
I would take their advice, take your money and get out now.

My wife had the Sinovac and she had no problems getting approved.

My question is outside of the arrest warrant, would you still be seeking a divorce and for what reason? Is your goal to have them sent back home or just have them exit your life whether they remain in the US or not? Sometimes people are looking for that magic bullet that they think can absolve them of their obligations. Feels like the relationship isn't what you had hoped it would be and you are hoping to wash your hands of the whole matter and would like to be released from the responsibilities you signed up for.
