US Immigration from Philippines

Good Day!

I filed for petition for my son on April 12, 2019, I got the approval dated on March 20, 2020. Then yesterday, I got notification that they are sending it to the Dept. Of State. I read the guidelines in uscis.gov site but would like to know from those who have gone through the process already. I would appreciate it if anyone can give me information of what comes after this? what supporting documents needed? and how long does it take to process? I understand that it could take longer now due to COVID 19 but they may be working as I got my approval while the pandemic is on going ( to my surprise and yes, happy).

Beneficiary is from the Philippines. He has dual citizenship Filipino and German , how does this affect the process?

Thank you for your help.

Newbie here, nice to meet you all! Just starting the process now, or at least we are wanting too. Does it make sense to start now with all the world-wide COVID-19 restrictions in place? I understand the USCIS is still processing requests but I'm thinking about the running around we may have to do to gather up all the necessities for filing. Thoughts/recommendations?

Hello everyone,

Hope everybody is doing well. I do have a question regarding on my tax return transcripts. When I uploaded my tax return transcript at CEAC site I combined/merge my 2016 - 2018 transcripts on one PDF. I was wondering if there would be an issue with that. Does the return transcript each year needs to be uploaded individually? Does anyone in here did the same thing and never had an issue from the NVC? Y'all response will be highly appreciated.
