Wife's Son Has Waited Eleven Years

My wife is from the Philippines, so our group is one of three that gets hurt by rediculously long time periods to get an available visa. Over ten years ago our Priority date was January 13, 2010, for the approved Petition to bring her Unmarried Son over the age 21 to our country. Now the Visa Bulletin shows that F2B (for children of Permanent Residents) has a May 1, 2009 Priority Date and F1 (for children of Citizens) has an April 1, 2009 Priority Date. This spread is only one month; however, ten years ago (and for a long time) being a Permanent Resident (F2B) was much better than being a Citizen ((F1). It used to be that the wait time was over one year worse if you were a Citizen; thus, we made the decision to leave my wife's status on the original Petition as being a Permanent Resident. In 2014 my wife Maria was awarded Citizenship, but we elected not to ask USCIS to change her status on the original Petition (why wait longer for her Son to get here)

Now the time is rapidly approaching when both categories will show our Priority Date for her Son is Available. Can any of you enlighten us on what we do when the Priority Date shows that Jan 13, 2010 is now being worked. Do we have to see that and then purposely ask the National Visa Center to activate his request for a Visa?, or will the NVC pull his file on their own (almost twleve years later) and activate it and contact us or him or both?

Assuming that the NVC will take action and notify her Son or my Wife, what is the next step? I went through all of this when I successfully got Maria here through a Fiance Visa, but I forgot what we have to do. Is there another form we have to fill out and submit. Do we go through again submitting Financial Affidavits and other things? Is it just a matter of the NVC sending a notice to his local US Embassy, and the Son calling to get an appointment for an Interview?

Another issue is that my wife and I moved to a different house in December 2015, but we never contacted any of the agencies (USCIS or NVC) to change our address. Her Son just moved into a new house in the Philippines two days ago, so I guess we need to alert one of them about his address change too. I don't know which government agency to contact about the two address changes, or how to go about notifying them. I tried calling the NVC on Friday, but they never answer the phone. I reached USCIS Call Center, and asked them, but they were not too sure. All they could tell me was the Petition was in the NVC, so I likely had to contact them.

Thank you in advance for whatever help you can be with these questions.

Hi! I m from the Philippines. My wife and I married last October 2018. We just filed I-485 together with the other documents last Monday. My passport expired months ago and would like to renew it. But first my country needs a ROM (Report of Marriage) before renewing a passport. My problem here is Philippines do not recognize same-sex marriage. How do I go about this? How am I able to renew my passport while adjusting my status? Can anyone enlighten me please? Thank you so much

Straight from the USCIS website:

ALERT: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will implement the Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds final rule on Feb. 24, 2020, except in Illinois, where the rule remains enjoined by a federal court as of Jan, 2020. The final rule will apply only to applications and petitions postmarked (or if applicable, submitted electronically) on or after Feb. 24, 2020. For applications and petitions sent by commercial courier (such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL), the postmark date is the date reflected on the courier receipt. When determining whether an alien is likely to become a public charge at any time in the future, DHS will not consider an alien s application for, certification or approval to receive, or receipt of certain non-cash public benefits before Feb. 24, 2020. Similarly, when determining whether the public benefits condition applies to applications or petitions for extension of stay or change of status, USCIS will only consider public benefits received on or after Feb. 24, 2020.

USCIS will post updated forms and submission instructions to the USCIS website during the week of Feb. 3 well ahead of the implementation date to give applicants, petitioners, and others time to review updated procedures and adjust filing methods. After Feb. 24, except in Illinois, USCIS will reject prior editions of forms if the form is postmarked on or after Feb. 24, 2020. If USCIS receives an application or petition for benefits using an incorrect edition of the forms, the petitioner or alien will need to submit a new application or petition.

DHS remains enjoined from implementing the final rule in Illinois. If the injunction in Illinois is lifted, USCIS will provide additional public guidance.
