    In what manner is she pursing that? You asked later in the post if you should go to court over it or just pay her. She would need to legally pursue this through a court. There is nothing automatic about I-864 enforcement. Presumably it was brought up during divorce proceedings, but possibly not. Using the I-864 for spousal support after divorce is a legitimate thing, but enforcement (or not), length of enforcement, and dollar amount of support (if any) will vary greatly depending on marriage length, ability of spouse for self-support, difference in pre- and post-marriage income, and (probably most import) WHERE the case is tried. This is definitely a divorce lawyer situation, but you also need somebody that has plenty of experience with the I-864 also.

    Unfortunately, I cannot give you any reassurance that her current treatment will have any impact on her test at St. Luke's. Even so, getting treatment now is the correct thing to do. St. Luke's definitely will not care about her prognosis from outside doctors. I'm not saying you should attempt to hide it, but don't expect to show them test results and expect to get anything other than an eyeroll. They do request that you bring previous chest x-rays with you, so bring those along. Hopefully, her current treatment will be enough for her to test negative, but only St. Luke's can decide that.

    I'm not sure you will get a notification for your own post, so I am posting just to help you with your notification test.

    The one year wait applies if she was tested AT St Luke's and elected to get treatment elsewhere. When treated at locations other than St Luke's AFTER being diagnosed BY St. Luke's, there is a one year wait after completion of treatment before medical can be rescheduled. So really it is more than a one year wait, since it is treatment time THEN a one year wait. Since she has never been to St. Luke's, this would not apply to her.

    She can renew her passport when required, it will just still be in her maiden name. My ex renewed hers with no problems. As far as the Philippines is concerned, she is still single, until you file a ROM. I am surprised the consulate would not accept the Pennsylvania self-solemnized marriage certificate, especially since San Francisco specifically says self-solemnized is acceptable. Different places, of course, but it seems like they would be consistent. Houston Consulate (mine) does not mention it, but there are no states in its jurisdiction that allow it. Traveling on her PH passport is not a problem, as long as she has a marriage certificate copy with her to justify the name difference between her green card and passport.

    Is it not possible to obtain a UAE police clearance unless you are physically in UAE to request it. You will not be expected to have UAE police clearance at the interview.

    Have money for what? It has been noted several times by knowledgeable people here that have been through this process that she doesn't need to show any bank account evidence or have "available funds" to depart the Philippines as a K-1. They only money she needs is for the airport tax (1620 PESOS last time I checked), and some spare change for a bottle of water and baggage handler tips. If she, or the attorney, is still insisting that $4500 USD is needed, despite everyone here saying it is not, something is amiss. From the limited information here, my guess would be you would never see that $4500 or your fiancée again if you wind up sending it to her. I'm not trying to be judgmental or negative. I'm just going by the facts as you've told them. I sincerely hope there is a misunderstanding and everything works out.

    The only requirements for K-1 to depart the Philippines is visa, passport, CFO certificate, airport tax, and a ticket. Either she was processed incorrectly, or she didn't understand what they told her, or she is squeezing you for cash. I'm not making an accusation- I'm just listing the possibilities.

    Texas does not offer a divorce certificate. The decree you have is the correct, legal document. I will add that mine is stamped "certified true and correct copy" on each page. Hopefully the county stamp is a valid substitute for that statement. It seems like it would be. Take the entire decree with you.

    The only purpose for the sanctions was to get Colombia to accept their returning citizens, so of course they were dropped when Columbia agreed to do that.
  22. J.M.
    And hopefully passport stamps?

    Did your letters of intent include a "marry within 90 days" phrase or something similar? Did you describe your meeting circumstances on the I-129f? Including at least one meeting within the 2 years prior to filing date?

    Although the OP beneficiary is in the Philippines, the question was not asked specifically for the Philippines, so I answered it in general. You are correct that Manila typically does not ask for the I-134, but they can, so it is wise to have it just in case.
  25. J.M.
    Both are needed for K-1, but at different stages. I-134 is hand carried to interview by beneficiary. I-864 is sent with I-485 when adjusting status, after marriage.

    The NVC stage can take a few weeks to a few months. You cannot complete the DS-160 until your MNL case number is assigned by NVC. Yes, you can fill out the DS-160 for your fiancée. I did. You can save it as you go along. Eventually, you will get to a Sign and Submit page. At that point, your fiancée can log into the same account, review it, and sign it. I made all of her appointments for her. With the new website, you can pay the DS-160 fee online by CC.
