US Immigration from Philippines

Hi all. I will be attending the visa at Embassy with my fiancee. She has a 3 year old that will follow. Will they allow the child in the embassy event though we are not doing her visa at this time?

Thanks,

I was planning to send my Report of Marriage to the Philippine Embassy in San Francisco however when I read the requirements it says the marriage certificate should show the number of previous marriages however the marriage certificate I have didnt show anything. Is there someone here who tried to send their marriage certificate without number of previous marriage shown?thank you

Hi! I had an MMR shot but not from St. Lukes Extension Clinic in Manila.

I brought a document signed by my local doctor and the doctor at SLEC acknowledged it.

I noticed that on my DS-3025 there was no check mark on the MMR and only a date for when I had my MMR shot from my local doctor. There was no Blanket Waiver or code.

Does this mean during AOS, I need to fill out an I-693 and have a USCIS accredited Civil Surgeon make an official form and say my MMR shot is valid?

Good day.

I had my interview last week (January 16) and my status changed to "Issued" the next day. It had the same "issued" status until today (January 22) and it went back to "Application Received." Is this normal? I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence but it changed to AR after I sent an e-mail asking about my UID # (it shows a different transaction on 2go tracker, which was from 2 years ago when I got my J1 visa). I read one post here on VJ who experienced the same thing but it's a different embassy and I wasn't under 221G.

As always, thank you.

Hi guys, we had our k1 & k2 interview yesterday and it got approved! I just wanna share my experience to others who will have their interview in the future.

5am - We arrived in the embassy. There were at least 100 people outside already. You can rent chairs from vendors there for 30 pesos.

5:40am - The embassy guard asked us (6:35am appointment) to start lining up. Guard asked to see the visa interview appointment confirmation.

6:15am - We were allowed to get in the main entrance and we lined up again. The staff gave us small clear plastic bags and we were asked to place our passports inside with the bio info showing.

6:30am - The staff looked at my DS-160 and she placed a barcode sticker on it. I was then allowed to go inside. There were 2 security checks (body scanner and X-ray for your belongings).

6:40am - It was our turn to go to the window with the Filipino consul and he asked for my cenomar, our birth certificates, and NBI. He asked some basic questions like petitioner's name, address, etc.

6:50am - We lined up to the adjacent window for fingerprint collection. It was pretty quick.

6:55am - We were told to sit and wait for our turn for the final interview.

7:20am - Final interview. Nice American male consul. I greeted him good morning and he did the same. He looked at my file (the stuff that USCIS forwarded to them) and started asking me questions:

1. What is the name of your fiance?

2. How did you meet him? When?

3. How many times did he visit you?

4. What does he do for a living?

5. When did you become a couple?

6. How old was your child when you met him?

Questions for k2:

1. Do you know your mom's fiance?

2. How often do you talk to him?

3. What do you guys talk about?

He complimented her english and then he told her to take a seat while he asked me more questions.

1. Do you have the form I-134?

(I handed it to him along with W-2, 3 months worth of pay stubs, employment certificate, a screenshot of my fiance's profile in the company website, and a copy of his employment contract showing he has tenure)

2. Do you already have wedding plans?

I just told him that we plan on having a courthouse wedding.

Then that's it. He didn't even ask for our pictures or any relationship evidence (maybe because my fiance provided dozens of pictures and other proof already and it's in the file the consul was looking at). He told me that he will recommend it for approval, then he handed me a white paper with contact details for visa delivery. He told me to wait 2-3 weeks for visa delivery. I thanked him and then we left.

P.S. When I checked the status yesterday it said Administrative processing for both of us. Today it says issued on mine and still administrative processing for k2.
