US Immigration from Philippines

Hi all,

We finally were able to submit May's DS-260 tonight. Because she was in jail in Jordan due to an overstay in 2018, we checked yes to the question on the 260 regarding whether you've "ever been arrested for any offense or crime" or convicted even if later pardoned, etc.

We now see in the civil document requirements that court and prison records are missing. I'm assuming they must be uploaded before her NVC file will be reviewed, and I'm assuming this was triggered by us checking yes to that question...? However, there are no court or prison documents, and she has her certificate of no criminal conviction from Jordan, which she will upload under the police certificate tab (PCCs are indicated by the DoS as unavailable, so we're going with the CNCC).

So, I'm unsure whether this civil document category is going to be problematic and her NVC file will just sit indefinitely because we have no records to upload for prison or criminal offenses...?

Any feedback on this?

Hello everyone! I have been interviewed last july19,2023 and the consulate told me that my visa was approved and wait 1 to 2 weeks for my visa stamping but it turned into different situation now, they called me in the same day after my interview 4 hrs. later and said I have documents to provide which is all about petitioner's tax return and they will send my passport through mail including the instructions, Im not so sure though , it confused me because they told me that my visa approved after my interview,. I have all my documents on hand and why they never ask me about it during my interview, i have checking my case status and it was "Refused". These all happened in US Embassy Manila. any advise and hopefully all will be alright.

Well, attempt number 5. Today's attempt comes to you during a two-hour gap between sessions on a 13-hour day. Still trying to enter all addresses my 32-year-old wife has lived at since she was 16, along with all phone numbers and every social media account. CEAC crashes when I attempt to save or move to the next page. Every. Single. Time. I now have...24 minutes until my next session starts, and I'll be in session until 8:30, and then up at 5 tomorrow and back at it.

I see why VJ-ers have amazing things to say about CEAC and the ease with which they work their way through it.

I'm not usually an impatient or angry person, but my blood is nearly boiling at the moment.

**Rant over**

Thanks for listening.

Hello, If being required to move residence prior to receiving GC, will the USPS forward GC's to new address? Or does USCIS put a "Do Not Forward" message on GC mailing?

Thanks for any responses!

Hello,

We got DQ'd early this month and our case is still with the NVC. After serious thought and consideration and due to personal reasons, we are thinking of possibly not pursuing the IR-1 visa at this time.

Questions:
1. Is there an option to postpone the process at this point? If so, how do we go about doing this?
2. If postponing is not an option, do we reach out to NVC or wait until we receive an interview letter from the embassy to cancel? I understand it may take a while before the case gets forwarded.

3. If we do cancel, could it affect my spouse's ability to enter the US on a tourist visa (currently has a B1/B2 visa valid until 2032) for a visit down the road?
4. If at some point in the future our plans change and we want to re-apply for the IR-1 visa, would the cancellation in any way affect the new application?

Thank you in advance for your inputs.
