US Immigration from Philippines

For those Filipinas that have gone through the medical process at St. Luke's.

My wife is unable to get her childhood immunization record showing all of the normal immunization given. Have any of you had the same problem and if so did St. Luke's administer all of the childhood immunizations or how was that taken care of?

My wife isn't fond of needles or doctors and I just want to help calm her mind about this process. Thank you for any information you can provide.

Got my Filipina wife here to US last year on a GC and we already have 2 babies born here (1 month and 13 months). We have our hands full and are getting no sleep.

We would like to bring her sister and her sister's daughter (16) here to help with the babies. Ideally for a few years at least. Three questions:

What visa type would we apply for?
Who is the petitioner? Me, the US Citizen, or my wife, the GC holder?
Is the wait time longer than getting my wife here (that was about 1.5 years)?

Thanks everyone, I love this website.

Good day VJ!

Just curious if it's possible to make a visa interview appointment for my K2 children as group/group scheduling to save one slot of interview date. My mistake that i used my old account and enter my eldest son's information and now i can't add his siblings for them to have one confirmation for their interview. The earliest date has 1 slot left and there 3 K2's. Just wondering. Thank you!

Good evening,

We are in the process of getting my wife's passport renewed in her married name as to avoid complications on a trip we plan to take next year. Unfortunately, due to how long it's taking for processing, she will not have her new green card before we travel and so we are considering getting an I-551 stamp on her new passport once we get it. Not sure how long it takes to renew a passport with the Philippines Consulate, or how long the wait is to get an I-551 stamp, but we are having a hard time getting straight-forward information on what is needed to get a stamp. Is the Notice of Action extending my wife's green card while we wait needed for the stamp? If so, will they accept a photocopy if we've misplaced the original? What struggles/obstacles might I face in trying to get this done. Any stories and advice are much apprecaited.

Thank you!

My parents are immigrating to US and they are in 60s. Any suggestions and cheaper insurance for them? They are planning to work soon once they got their green card. Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
