US Immigration from Philippines

I apologize if this isn't the correct location for this, maybe it should be in the country specific thread but with it being a global pandemic perhaps everyone is feeling the same issue.

My fiance is from the Philippines and she had her K-1 interview just before this all got very serious outside of China. Our CEAC status was set to refused on March 16 and I think that was just a mass pausing of activity by the embassy. Has anyone else had thinvs continue to move forward during these difficult times?

All immigrant and non immigrant interviews in Manila are delayed until at least May 31st. This according to the announcement by the Embassy.

Im thinking that maybe my papers are delayed bec of material where we file our paper we used clear book so i do not know. Is it possible to deny because of our clear book?

Hi all! I came here on K1, been married since October, and now thinking about establishing myself financially as early and as quickly as possible. So I'm posting here to get tips from you guys: what are the best ways for me to build my credit, considering I cannot work yet (pending EAD) and might not have to work in the future anyways? (such is my arrangement with my husband)

I did a bit of research and the first things (also the easiest) that came up are 1) Get a secured credit card; and 2) Get my name onto my husband's bank account as an authorized user (not sure how this works in the technical sense). I'm not exactly finance-savvy so I was hoping you guys could give me your two cents worth, if you be so kind. Also, if anyone here has been in my situation, perhaps you could share your experience and takeaways.

Thanks in advance and everyone stay safe and healthy in these times of uncertainty.

Hi, just need help regarding the returns. I hope somebody would be able to clarify a couple of things because I am beyond confused.

My husband filed jointly for 2019 and declared NRA under the space required for my SSN (I wasn t able to acquire one when I arrived due to ignorance.) We acquired assistance from a tax return prep center and he was told that that would be fine and we would be able to file jointly.

He was able to get his Federal return, but the State Department sent us a letter requiring information about my SSN/ITIN. Do I need to apply for an ITIN when my I-765 is already being processed? I read that by law I can t have both an SSN and an ITIN at the same time.
