US Immigration from Philippines

TLDR: Embassy wants more info on overstay from ten years ago and we have very little documentation. Asking for advice please.

Hello all. My fiancee will be attending her K1 Visa interview in two weeks in Tokyo, Japan. Today she received an email from the US Embassy. In it they asked the following:

Thank you for sending us your requested documents by mail; however, we need to ask for some additional documents for your interview.

Please see below and submit the documents along with other required documents in the instructions.

• Original birth certificate for your child
• Any original official documents regarding your overstay/detention in Japan
• A photocopy of the original documents above, along with the translation if the documents are not in English
  

If you cannot collect the documents before your interview, please explain it on your interview day.

Hi, longtime lurker here but I haven't found the info I'm looking for upon scouring the forums.

You see, I'm on my 8th week waiting for the sputum culture results. However, St. Luke's called me for additional instructions earlier, 5 days before I return on Sept. 30. The person on the other line said she'll call be back because she needed to consult with her manager upon finding out that I wasn't from Manila.

She was so vague about it as well. Anyone experienced this? Would it be weird if I tested positive this late into the culture?

Anyway, I never got the follow up call despite waiting all day. It's making me anxious and my fiance's distraught over the possibility that I might have tested TB positive.

Manila. USEM.

My wife's visa issuance was delayed due to an expired Qatar PCC (not actually expired, because it was issued less than 2 years ago and she has not left the Philippines since it was issued but the consular officer is requiring an unexpired copy). Qatar takes 2 to 3 months to issue. Last time, it took them a full 2 months. We don't expect the embassy to be fast about reviewing it and issuing her visa. Her medical will expire January 15.

If her visa is in hand by, say, January 12, and she won't enter the U.S. on or before January 15, what do we do? I understand she will need an updated medical, but how does this work? Do they give her the results in a sealed envelope since her visa is already in hand, or is her visa technically expired and she must restart the process again? If the latter is the case, then should we get an updated medical by mid-December if she still doesn't have her visa in hand so that it will not expire? This whole thing is sort of incredible. She was told that even though she had her interview, and all the other documents were verified, and she has a 221g for the Qatar PCC, if any other documents have expired by the time she sends her Qatar PCC, she must also update those. It's like a rolling refusal. Well, it feels like it anyway. But off the sniveling and on to taking care of the business. I get it. Her visa isn't issued until it's issued, and this will require administrative review.

TIA, all.

Hello! So we recently a couple weeks ago sent off our K1 packet! We included all sorts of evidence like a certificate of engagement, pictures, engagement ring receipt Now though we just remembered that when we got the engagement ring we thought it would be cute to put my (Petitioner) last name with my fianc e s first name on the sold to section. Will this be a red flag to USCIS or what can we do about this? We re both worried that we ll get rejected because of this! We would have never sent that piece of evidence if we had remembered what we put for the name. Please help!

Last year when we uploaded to the NVC, I uploaded the tax transcripts for the previous years and then my 2022 Tax 1040 Return and W2 (I had just filed). We are getting ready for our interview, and I have now since uploaded my 2022 and 2023 tax transcripts to the CEAC. Because of the numerous lists going around that state you have to have your returns, W2's and transcripts my wife wants me to upload our 2023 taxes and my W2's which I don't believe are necessary because all of the info from the 1040 and W2 is in the transcript, and they are not going to ask for them. To make matters worse I don't have a copy of the signed tax return just the filled out one without our signatures on them. We have time and I can resign them and scan them but... do I really need to? My understanding is they may ask to see a copy of any uploaded document. If I have my transcript uploaded, then I have the required document and that would be the only thing they would ask for... they wouldn't ask for the 1040 or the W2 since they have all that info in the transcript, and it isn't uploaded. I also understand that they would rather have the transcript and not the 1040/W2.

Make it make sense for me. Sorry for the ramble.
