US Immigration from Philippines

Since my wife's N-400 is pending in San Diego, I tried to get a gage on how fast things are actually going here recently. Searching VJ, some Facebook Groups and Reddit, I came up with 26 self reported cases that have already received interviews in San Diego in 2024.

Here are the stats on those 26 San Diego cases. Number of days days from filing to interview in 2024.

Average time: 141 days
Median time: 133 days
Fastest time: 77 days
Slowest time: 230 days

# of cases in less than 4 months: 11
# of cases 4 to 6 months: 11
# of cases over 6 months: 4

I will have the results of my cultures AGAIN from my second exam on September 20th. Assuming it is again negative, and we immediately mail mine and the children's passports into the embassy with them receiving them Monday morning, how long should it be before we receive them back with the visas? (Our interviews are complete and approved) Thanks.

Hey all,

I've posted about this a little bit before, but now my wife's interview is coming up on 09/23, and she's making herself absolutely sick worrying about this. I'm hoping someone who had a similar experience can share a brief comment about their interview.

My wife had an overstay in Jordan in 2018, was detained at a checkpoint, jailed, and given the option of renewing her residence card or going back to the Philippines. She returned to the Philippines. No court. No conviction. Jordan does not issue PCCs, but they do issue NCRCs (No Criminal Record Certificate), which my wife does have.

She's so worried about the likely question, "Have you ever been arrested?" She marked yes on the DS-260 and explained. But she's freaking out that they are going to deny her visa or want police reports (which we were unable to obtain). USCIS policy does indicate persons applying for a visa from outside the U.S. are not required to submit reports or other documents for any arrest that did not lead to a conviction. And I know other people have had overstays and obtained their visas with no issues.

Can anyone who has had a similar experience that included being detained share their interview experience? Maybe if I can share that with my wife she will stop making herself sick with worry.

TIA

My fiancee has her CFO GCP appointment this coming Wednesday. Do they require me to provide a police / criminal background clearance?

Hi, I cannot not figure out what tax transcript they are asking for. This is the information they give; Please upload and submit Dan's most recent Wage and Income IRS tax transcript from 2023. A transcript can be obtained on the IRS's website: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript. If you were not required to file a tax return, please write, and scan an explanation for not filing. If you filed taxes with your spouse, please also submit all of your W-2s and or 1099s. For more information, please visit https://nvc.state.gov/fin. I have gone to the website and uploaded both available transcripts for year 22 and 23, sent in all of my 1099s for both years which were accepted. Both of my Federal Income Tax Return or Transcript has been rejected. I submitted these transcripts on Aug 21, they show they have been uploaded, I just resent my 2023 and 2022 return and account transcripts again, they have been uploaded alng with the same transcripts i sent on the 21st. I even filled out Form 8879 for both years and uploaded it. I hope someone can give me guidance on what I need to send in.

Thank you again for your help.

Dan and Juliana
