US Immigration from Philippines

Good morning/evening, I'm seeking on advice on how to reach our goal and thank you again to everyone who answered my other concerns.

Alright, so here it is in a nutshell. I would like to take my wife and son to the US in 2028, after our son has graduated high-school. From my understanding, you can delay the NVC stage up to one year and then delay the interview up one up one year, which if we apply next month would possibly put us somewhere around January/February 2028.

Now, I know nothing is guaranteed in this life, but we have solid evidence for every step of the way.

What would be best way to go forward here? Also, I read their entry visas are only good for six months? If that is the case and we can hit January/February 2028, that would absolutely be a good spot to be in.

Thank you in advance for any commenting and suggestions.

Title says it all. Doing last minute document check and realized I don't have CERTIFIED copies! Does anyone know a quick fix for this? Will my approval be denied without certified copies? I have the printed versions but not the version mailed from the IRS. Any help would be appreciated!

Anyone else experiencing slow visa processing after embassy interview?

K1 visa interview on January 28th. Ceac has application received with a last update of January 29th.

As of today 3/10/25 at 10 AM, Manila time I got a slot for my mothers biometric and interview after 2 months of non-stop browsing the website YAYYYYYY!! This procedure caused me a lot of stress to fear of not getting an interview. Thank you Lord!

I'd like to bring my MIL over for a visit and the correct method would be to get her a B-2 but that was already denied once and the prognosis for success on future attempts isn't great.

So, I'm thinking about doing an i-130 but wondering how long that takes for a parent? Also, does that take longer depending on the country?
