US Immigration from Philippines

Hi all,

My wife and I are preparing the last few pushes for her visa, and we're getting documents in order for her embassy interview. She says she is required to bring an original copy of my divorce decree from my previous marriage. In Wisconsin, we don't get original copies. The original copy stays with the clerk of courts, and we get a copy, which is what my wife has in her possession.

My understanding from reading through the forums is that with the exception of the original AoS documents I submit through CEAC, only the beneficiary's original civil documents are required...? But I could be mistaken.

Any VJ members who were previously married and their current spouse had their interview at the Manila embassy? What original documents pertaining to you was your wife required to present?

Thank you,

Jason and May

I decided to break up with my wife because she cheated on me.

We got married in the Philippines (civil wedding) and I petitioned her to come live with me in hawaii. She been here for about 10 years now.

She is not a US citizen, just green card.

We have 2 boys together (3yr and 9yr) both US citizens.

Question is , Do I need to file a divorce here in Hawaii? If so, where do I begin or who do I seek.

Thank you

We received the email today notifying us of the NVC case creation. I've been trying off and on over the course of the day to check the case status and see if we can set up the CEAC account and pay the bills. I continually get an error notice stating the server dropped the connection. In checking the VJ forums, it looks like this is a pretty routine issue, or at least CEAC being down/not working properly has been an ongoing and routine issue?

I've attached a screenshot of the error message. (I get the same message via Safari and Chrome.) I'm using the URL https://ceac.state.gov/iv.

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?
