US Immigration from Philippines

Good day,

I am asking this question on behalf of my dad. A little bit of background. My dad arrived in the US last October 2019 under IR5 visa petitioned by me, his daughter and I am a USC. My dad has a wife (not my biological mother) and they've been married for 3 years. I couldn't file a petition for her at the same time that I was petitioning for dad as their marriage took place after my 18th birthday. My dad holds a social security card, recently received his greencard, and started a job in January 2020 and now I am trying to help him file a petition for his wife to immigrate in the US.

We started an online application but we are confused as to what address to use for his wife's current address. When dad was living in the Philippines, they lived in a house in Metro Manila but before he left for the US, they flew to Mindanao (southern part of the country) so that she could have the company of her family instead of living alone in Metro Manila (they do not have kids). Now, she currently lives with her parents but she has plans on staying at her sister's place somewhere in Mindanao closer to where she would register for trade school. The IDs that she has though have the Metro Manila address on them. My question is this:

Is it ok to use the Metro Manila address? We have relatives that can receive mails for her while she is in Mindanao and she can gather them up once she goes back to Metro Manila for interview or something else. I am concerned that she won't receive the mails if they are addressed to be delivered in Mindanao as the address that she gave us does not even have a street number. I am also afraid that when she goes for interview that we get in trouble if her IDs and the address that we put down in the application don't match. What is the proper thing to do here?

Thank you in advance for your time.

After we pay the visa fee, is there a time limit for how long its good for. If we paid today, could I go login and schedule in 2 weeks? 1 month?

Hi. My dad's petition was approved from his sister under F4 category. His sister is unemployed but most likely have assets etc. She is receiving pension etc. I live in US permanent resident with 3 yrs income tax and good income, i just wanted to make the papers less complicated as my aunt live in CA i live in Kansas, i will help my aunt in this AOS form, can she just claim unemployed and can I just be joint sponsor so I can provide all the documents easily ? Thanks

Hi everyone,
We need some advice, my mom petition for my siblings and we receive a message from ceac that she didn't meet the income requirements that she need a join sponsor and the applicant bring it during the interview. But my question is, we have a joint sponsor for the petition, who is my husband and he meets the income that was ask according to the poverty guidelines which is almost 49k. We uploaded everything also on ceac website under join sponsor, and its says in the status its all Accepted . Thats why we are wondering about it. Stress and confused waiting for too long for the petition.
