US Immigration from Philippines

My finace received her Visa yesterday and it seems there is not much time to get the CFO sticker because it is difficult to get an appointment at this time..

Her medical and Visa both expire on the same date - Aubust 18th.. So we have about a month to get the CFO sticker.

What happens if we are not able to get an appointment fot CFO by then and the Visa and medical expire?

Also. I heard that you can go to the airport at terminal 1 to get the CFO sticker.. I have tried to call there with no luck.. Do you already have to have a seminar completion certificate to go there?

Do you have to have a plane ticket before you go to the airport at terminal 1?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Finally my DIL and grandkids have been re-approved 20 monthes after the passing of my son. They are listed as derivitives on my DIL IW1, Wgat is the next step. They already have their submitted D260s, of course with old information. I do know I need to provide a new I864 as the new support sponsor. Do I register them for a group interview or each alone? I think the 14 year old does not need interview. Do I schedual physical before making interview appointment or afterwards. Are the interview officers American or Filipino?

My fiancee was able to secure a cfo seminar this July. They gave her confirmation number and a date. However they left out the time of the day of the class.

Is this normal? Can she just show up at 8am?

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A FB group has created a shipping chart for 2023 that you can use to track when the next shipment date will be. It seems to line up with all the dates I ve seen so far so I think it s accurate and will include it below.

I copied this from the May thread. Kudos to @JojoandThomas.

Hello, everyone. I m currently on a j1 visa right now and I met someone in the military and we re planning to get married. I noticed something on my visa.

I am subjected to 212(E) but I wasn t under any special skill list on my country nor received government funding to go here in US.
The only option I m looking into is the advisory opinion because my country (Philippines) does not do waiver.
Is there any other option that I might be missing other than the advisory opinion?

Thank you so much!
