US Immigration from Philippines

The I-129f packet was sent to the Texas lock box. The NOA1 came from the California Service Center.

Which center do you think is actually processing the packet?

Despite filling out the form G-1145 and having it the second sheet in the packet (credit card form was 1st), I did not get either email or text notification of NOA1. I got the physical mail this morning, sent 9/3, same day they charged my card.

Just putting it out there that sometimes hiccups happen.

Aloha,

Our NOA1 date is May 16. According to processing dates, CSC is processing applications with a NOA1 date of May 28th.

Should this be a source of concern??

How is the timeline recently for tourist visa? Has it change? is it still hard to get the tourist visa?

My sister lives in the Philippines, unmarried and just started working in a call center, has no strong ties and no savings. I was wondering if she can still get the tourist visa. Considering there are millions of illegal immigrants now just crossing the border.

Hello all. I am an American getting ready to venture over the the Philippines for the very first time to meet my fianc e for the very first time. She is currently an OFW working in Hong Kong and I was able to purchase her plane ticket to coordinate with mine where we will meet for the first time in Manila with a two hour lay over. Then we will board a plane where I purchased seats so she will be able to sit next to me and we will fly to our destination in CDO. I will spend just a week there as I have spent my vacation time earlier in the year and have minimal days left.

This will be my first time going to the Philippines and am looking for any advice on anything I may need to know before leaving and while I am there. We are going to use a K1 Visa to get her into the USA so we can get married and any advice on what I need to do while we are together for that short week will be very helpful to me. I plan onmeeting her family and this time and I am sure I will be very nervous in doing so.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to reading the responses very soon.
