My wife was asked for my police clearance when she was doing the cfo for her k-1. The councilors don't seem to really understand how the admin systems work in the USA, so it seems that you can get a local report from a city or county enforcement authority. I believe there was one report in here from a user that used a city report successfully.

CFO appointment error

Final update: BI didn't ask to see her certificate. No one did. She could have not done the whole thing and it would not make a difference. I'm sure they ask some, but in this in case she was asked to show the certificate. She's on the way to the US now, I can't wait to see her.

Update 2: She got the certificate She was asked for my petition (i-129), my tax return, and Fbi clearance. I'll be waiting for false tax returns to be filed in my name next year
-
Update: She showed up in Quezon city and as of this writing is attending the seminar. I don't know what they made her show to get in, but everything is back on course for entry this weekend

This is the current plan we have come up with too. I'll post an update Wednesday, but I wanted to warn people so you know their scheduling system isn't very bright in regards to their own closures. Shocking right, wouldn't expect that from the Philippines....
-
She already has Visa, CFO will not allow scheduling an initial appointment without VISA number. We are going to try to get in on the 20th which would avert the crisis. Always something.
-
My fiance was scheduled for tomorrow Aug 19, but not long ago received a message stating that cfo would be closed for a non working holiday. They want to reschedule her for a time after her plane leaves on the 22nd. I thought I read in here someone said their appointment system is a farce and you can just show up to appointments? Seems they aren't working on the 21st either, making the 20th the only non holiday.

Well we are entering the relatively safe period of her 90 day visit in the next week. The dangerous point will be her entry in California. She has her valid k-1 visa so hopefully it will be uneventful and they let her pass. After that, I need to make a decision of wedding timing for us. I was going to take a month or so, but it looks like time is of the essence and I'm thinking it's better to get it done with and get the paperwork filed ASAP, just for safety alone. So, diverting focus isn't something I want to do as the political climate here becomes more and more dangerous. Your experience will help me to decide, thank you again.

Thanks for sharing your experience and I'm hopeful you get clearance. I'm about to embark on the i485 journey soon as well and my biggest fear is very similar to what you are going through. It just seems to me like there is a period between the expiration of the 90 day visa clearance and the issuance of the green card where the fiance is very vulnerable to getting picked up for no reason. In your case they did have a technical reason, but under the current administration people are getting picked up for the slightest of errors in a very very difficult process. So far I haven't seen too much attention on K-1 recipients but it seems to be quickly nearing.

Notice of Cancellation of Immigration Heraing

I'm thinking of sending her off with about a hundred dollars. That should be more than enough barring some massive catastrophe. I only used $50 on my trips to Philippines. Short layovers in 2 airports each time. She won't be in Japan very long at all, so I'm not too worried about the yen. I don't expect her to have much opportunity to spend in Japan. It's mainly getting her US dollars for California.
-
Is that some kind of private company you have picking up your visa for you? Maybe it's getting issued at the VAC and then that company is authorized to pick it up and bring it to you?
-
I'm curious how to handle travel funds. She has no way to store USD, it must be converted PHP. She's going to be leaving this month and will have a layover in Japan and California. She needs Yen in Japan and USD in Cali. Normally, I'm doing a single conversion USD to PHP. She doesn't really need PHP for her trip though. So if I send her say $100, well is it to be transferred to PHP and then back to Yen or USD? Each exchange takes a small amount of the value. When I traveled I used my credit card in Japan so there was just a USD to Yen which is fine. Do you just accept the double exchange, it's not the end of the world but I would rather not do it if I don't have to.

I didn't go to cdo, but during the time I was there I made use of Grab when I was most desperate, but ideally I used trike and Jeepney. She did the negotiating with the drivers. I would not want to drive on Philippine streets. It's just completely different from USA driving.

Thanks for posting this. I'm getting a preview of what's ahead of me. My fiance has her visa but isn't coming until next month. I'm looking forward to a short break from stressing over paperwork and then back to the fire with the AOS. This ROM process looks quite ridiculous.
