US Immigration from Philippines

Hi, my wife and I got married last year on March 26, 2024! I'm getting ready to file the spousal petition (I-130) online! Is it a pretty fast process if I file it online versus a paper application? What type of evidence do we need to provide? I'm going to also file the I-129F for the k3 and k4 visa for them just in case the I-130 is taking longer than expected bcs it doesn't cost anything extra to file as long as I file it with the spousal petition. That way they can come over sooner. But the one question i have is if the I130 petition is approved first before the I-129F petition will USCIS automatically cancel the I-129F petition, bcs that's what some people are saying. Also, is it easier to get approved for the I-130 versus the fianc visa bcs before we waited more than 3 years for them to make a decision. Pls advise, thanks!

Hi everyone,

My wife and I recently got married and are preparing to file the I-485 Adjustment of Status. I ve come across conflicting information online: does she need a new medical exam with updated vaccination records? She previously had a medical exam during consular processing; does this exempt her? Also, do we need to submit any related documents with our application?

Thank you!

Hi All,

My K1 case is in transit this week. I have seen where others say it will take Manila Embassy a few days to be "ready". I tried to pay for the interview but the system says "case not found" so I guess it has to be "ready" in order to pay and schedule. My fiance is doing her medical today at St Luke's.

Has anyone recently made an appointment for Bio & Interview? How many days out are the Bio & Interview appointments?

I would like to make some flight arrangements.

Hello everyone, my Fianc e and I have recently received our NOA2 (February 19th) We have not received any additional updates and our USCIS case number still only says Case Approved . Is this normal that it still has not been sent to the department of state? I know the physical NOA2 says that it was sent but I ve read that this usually isn t the case unless it updates on the case tracker? Does anyone know the next steps I can take or how long I will have to wait for a new update?

Hello, i am a green card holder and my daughter, 20 y/o, is currently here in the US under B2 visa.

can I start the i-130 and i-485 process while she s here?
Will she be considered illegal if she stays here if her papers are pending?
thank you
