US Immigration from Philippines

My fiance in Philippines had his interview Oct 1 in Manila Embassy. Everything went smooth with the exception of, his PCC Qatar is expired. He exited Qatar in 2018 and we got the PCC in 12/2022. Consul saying it's expired, but if you look at the note on the travel state gov website it says, Police Clearance are valid 2 years if they are not living abroad. They took his 2022 expired PCC, and gave him 221g. I know they looked at the expiry date 2022 but what about the 2 years PC if not residing in abroad?

HELP! My friend married his fiancee BEFORE applying for SSN. This is K1 visa application.

They did a walk in today at the SSA and they were advised that they cannot issue a SSN for her coz it should have been done prior to getting married.

please advise.

Starting yesterday, October 1, the fee for Global Entry went up from $100 to $120. The only good news for some is that now children are free if they have a parent who already has Global Entry or if they apply concurrently with their parent.

NEXUS users take the biggest hit with their price increasing $50 to $120.

Hello,

my mom got her visa already and she will be coming to US soon however, there s been a change of plan and the address we put on her DS260 where she intends to stay in the US is no longer the address she will be going when she enter the US. How do I update this? Who to inform and how?

Hi!

My Father-in-Law's application was approved by the NVC and we believe it's in the queue to be sent to the consulate in Manila for appointment scheduling. NVC informed her mid April that this was the next step. So far, radio silence.

So, I have a few questions that I hope you can help us with!

First, what is a typical, current, timeline from NVC approval to scheduling?

Second, I remember scheduling my wife's appointment after receiving the MNL case number to speed up the process from the typical scheduling timeline. We've created an account to TRY, but so far no luck. The message keeps saying there is no case# currently at the consulate. Is this "work a around" still a thing or do we HAVE to wait for them to schedule?

Third, I know they do not send out any "snail mail" to us regarding the scheduling, but do they send both the applicant and petitioner an email saying they scheduled the interview appointment?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Mike
