US Immigration from Philippines

I'm looking at both Kayak and the PAL website. Are there useful sites I am unaware of? Dina does CFO in 2.5 hours. She wants to take a week

or two to recover from the chaos of the last month, then she'll be ready to hop the big bird.

Hello,

Hopefully, you can provide me some insight.

I am looking to have my mom and dad visit me in the US via a Tourist Visa. They are from the Philippines and are already retired. They do have a bank account where we use for me sending them money every month. It is only $200.00. They got some money saved up and have Php 100,000 on the bank. They have a house and a car under their name.

What are my chances for their Tourist Visas to be approved? Do you know if this will be enough documents for them?

Thank you,

Due to a signature issue, my step daughter's NOA1 was approx 2 months behind my wifes. Hers was sent to NVC about a week ago (rec March 17th 2024), the other is still awaiting NOA2 (rec May 2nd 2024). Should I wait for my step daughter's case to catch up to my wife's before proceeding with NVC steps? Can I call or email them after NVC receives both and have them processed at the same time or are we going to have to deal with the 2 month gap until completion?

Any guidance on this situation would be greatly appreciated.

So my wife would like to petition to bring her parents on an immediate relative visa. I think for the most part we understand how that works. She also has a 17 year old brother she would like to petition for. It is my understanding that if she petitions for him now he would be in the F4 category which takes quite a long time (about 15 years for the Philippines as far as I can tell). However it is also my understanding that if her parents get their green cards first then they petition for him before he turns 21 he would be put in a category that processes much faster.

Is it better to just wait until her parents get their green cards then at that point start the process for her brother? Or should my wife petition for him right away to get him "in line" in case her parents for whatever reason don't get their green cards before he turns 21? If my wife petitions for him right away then her parents get their green cards before he turns 21 can they then petition for him and change his category or does it not work that way? This is something I am confused about. My wife has other siblings she would like to petition for but they are over 21 so they would all be in the F4 category. After we get her parents and brother taken care of we would like to file for them and get them "in line" even though it could take a decade or two.

We were hearing from some people they weren't sending out Welcome Letters.

We filed an inquiry and got our case number, in the CEAC our status is READY.

We already set up VAC (biometrics) and the Interview.

QUESTION: However, I am now concerned about two things:

-Do I need to log into the CEAC? I cannot do so without an invoice number, which is on the Welcome Letter? What if there are instructions there, or I need to upload docs?

-Also, what is the K1-FTP she is supposed to bring to the VAC and Interview? Can that just be the status READY page?
