US Immigration from Philippines

I thought the interview went well. I came prepared, on time, and confident. I brought my wife and daughter as they applied for the H4 visa.

In the interview, I was only asked 2 questions:
1. In which city in _____ State will you live?
2. What is your educational background?

I was able to answer them truthfully.

He proceeded by asking me if I am aware that I must pay a reciprocity fee, in which I responded with, Yes, sir, I am.

After that, the officer gave me the blue booklet and asked me to take time to read to know my rights. I accepted it and said thanks.

Then he asked again for the copy of my notice of action. He continued working with his computer. After a couple of minutes, he told me, Everything looks good. However, you cannot pay the reciprocity fee just yet. I will give this (221 g form) to you and I will check this part (administrative processing) but that is normal and okay. I will also return your passports for now. Normally it will take a week maybe tomorrow we will contact you. It depends.

We were then asked to leave the consulate.

Honestly my wife and I are still confused with what turned out. I was not even given the opportunity to to ask questions.

What could be the reason for it?

I completed I-134 but can't seem to find where to send it for approval. I did some research and only information I can find is that my fiance needs to take my filled out I-134 to her interview and present the I-134 and supporting documents if asked during her interview. Second question is my fiance has a current NBI card. Does she need something else called police clearance? She has never left the Philippines. Thanks for the help in advance.

Good evening and Happy New Year!

I have a friend who is applying for a K-1 Visa and his fianc worked in Lebanon as an OFW. How can she obtain a clearance from Lebanon?
Thank you so much.

I m new here, be gentle. I have my 129 form mostly complete, plan to be in Manila in less than a week. I talked with another about the process, he did it about 5 years ago.

I looked carefully through the instructions, printed them off. I had originally planned to use a service , the guy I talked to said to follow directions, complete everything, then mail to the address in TX. He recommended doing it myself.

I will collect her copies, information, all the pictures of correct size & background, etc.. When back home I plan to double check things, copy, then mail it off, with tracking. Am I missing much? Any info on current processing times?

Seems an interesting site. I have a rather clean history, hopefully things go ok.

Hello,

After reading the quideline and searchign the forum I unfortunately do not have clarity on this one item and could use some assistance. My fiance camt to the US on the k-1 visa and with her my step son (k-2). In the guideline it states that when filing for them to receive an ssn, the k-2 will need a valid EAD from USCIS. He is 9 years old and will not be working for the forseeable future. To obtain the EAD we would have had to file the form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization along the way but never did or were aware we needed to prior to comign to the US.

Is this just an oversight and not intended for minors nor intended to work and the EAD isnt really required?
