US Immigration from Philippines

Hello!

My fianc e and I are confused about when or how we get the medical interview before the actual consulate interview.

We're reading it's before, but we are told we can schedule with the embassy right now.

Can someone give us a timeline for when we get our date? Or do we schedule it on our own?

I have my nvc case number but it is still "at nvc". Am I able to complete the ds160 and schedule my interview now or do I have to wait until it is case ready?

Hi guys, any Filipinos here who can help me? Where should I pay for the DS-160 fee? How do I pay for it, do I need to bring some requirements? Do I pay before or during the visa interview? And lastly, I did my research, but I still want to confirm if the fee is $265? Thank you in advance!

I can see AI immigration tools going both ways: it could reduce errors and speed up cases (by streamlining tedious tasks or easily looking up legal references) AND it could make lawyers and paralegals lazy (because they wouldn't double-check the AI's output).

There are a few AI tools being developed by different law firms. I wonder which one will eventually become the standard.

Good day!

My current status is that I have followed my father (K1 married) to U.S. after 6 months but he did not file his AOS yet. We are doing it together now.

My question is, should we have a separate Form I-864? What tips should we also consider about our case? Thank you.
