Hello! My fiancee is going through the process at USEM for a K1. To make a long story short, she was issued a visa last april but my son's was denied because of his need for a CRBA.

We got all of that done, but then her medical expired last August because of our delay. She retook the medical in December. The embassy then called her and asked her to write a letter saying why the medical expired and to send back in her passport and the expired visa.she did that then they called again telling her to pay the visa fees. She asked if she would need to do the interview again or if they needed anything else. The consular officer told her no over thr phone. We paid the visa fees on January 17th.

Her visa status changed from issued to ready on March 16th. The last update was 3-27. We are getting nervous because her medical will expire again on June12th, and here we are april 28th and still says "ready." It doesnt help that we just heard a horror story about a couple that has redone their medical 5 times already and it just keeps expiring. Should we be worried? I sent an email to the embassy back in March and they did not answer....

Hi! How do you obtain Thai Police Clearance in the Philippines these days?

I found the following instructions on a thread dating back to 2012; are the following instructions still the same?

I have had two people now ask me how to obtain Thai Police clearance. I've decided to post here how we did it in case it's useful for others. Note that this assumes you are in Manila, and can access the DFA and the Thai Embassy there.

Procedure for obtaining Thai Police Clearance if you are living in Manila.

Here is a brief outline of how we got our Thai PoliceClearance:

1) Get NBI Clearance from NBI Service Center

2) Get THREE full sets of fingerprints from a local policestation or NBI.

3) Take the above documents to the DFA to have themauthenticated.

4) Take them, along with other required documentation., tothe Thai Embassy.

5) The Thai embassy will keep your documents for about aweek.

6) Pick up your documents from the Thai Embassy.

7) Mail all the documents along with a self-addressed envelope to Thailand.

8)The Royal Thai Police will send your police clearance in about 3 to 4 weeks.

Hi,

I am a US Citizen by birth.

My (now) wife immigrated from Philippines under a K-1 visa (by me) with 3 children (K-2 visas) in 2008.

We married, went through Change of Status, Removal of Conditions for her and kids normally and without problems.

Wife and eldest child (who aged out) received US Citizenship and US Passports through Naturalization process, receiving US Certificates of Citizenship at that time. (2016 timeframe)

2 younger children (underage at 2016 timeframe) received US Passports through application by their mother.

Do the 2 younger children need to apply for Certificate of Citizenship using N-600?

Confusion for me: What does the CoC provide that possession of Passport not?

Thanks in Advance.

After my last two posts on this website, I'm glad to say that I dropped off my passport with my 221g just yesterday, April 28th, 2025. I'm happy, but now there are new concerns. Is there an estimate on how long it usually takes to hear back after that? The waiting game feels really hard to do.
