US Immigration from Philippines

I am getting ready to send my CRBA applications for my 2 sons to the US Embassy to get my appointment. I will give my wife a PDF to print so that she can send it from the Philippines. I figure it will be much faster and less expensive that way.

What service should I have her use. Will LBC be okay?

I tried searching the forum archive for this tax situation but I still need help.

My fiancee is coming from the Philippines. She works at home using her own computer for US companies that needs online support. She gets hired and paid in pesos by a US company that specialize in connecting US Companies that needs online workers.

When she arrives, she wants to continue working online until she gets her EAD. She don't pay Philippines taxes on her income in the Philippines because she get pay in dollars but the company convert it to pesos for her. As far as her company knows, she is still working in the Philippines.

I plan to file Married jointly next year but do I need to report her income? She won't get a W-2 form or any tax form from the company she works for.

Thanks in advance for any help or advise.

Hi Everyone,

I will be visiting my fiancee next week and stay for about 10 days to help prep her for the upcoming interviews at the CFO and US Embassy. I have several questions that have been answered many times, but paranoia is starting to set in and I want to confirm what I researched since I've seen conflicting answers over the past couple of years.

I-134 Related Questions:

1.) If my income is well above the poverty, can I put zero for each of these?

• Balance of Savings/Checking Accounts
• Value of Personal Property
• Market Value of Stocks/Bonds

Me: I believe so, but want to check again with the community

2.) How necessary is it to provide my Real Estate Information if my income is above the poverty line? If needed, what supporting documents do you provide for it?

Me: Probably will ill it out and provide my latest mortgage statement unless told otherwise

3.) For the US Embassy interview, does my fiancee need the original "wet" copy of the I-134 Form or a "scanned" printed copy of the original will suffice?

Me: A scanned copy should be accepted in this day and age. I like to hold onto originals. Please confirm.

4.) List of Supporting Documents - Do I need anything else?

• Letter of Employment stating my Salary and Position
• My "Main" Checking Account - Statement from officer stating the data account was opened, total amount deposited in 2019, and present balance (Will this cause a conflict if I put zero in my first question?)
• 2018 Tax Transcript
• 2018 W-2
• Past 3 Recent Paychecks
• Most recent Mortgage Statement (Depends on answer to question #2)

Me: I have a handful or so checking and savings accounts across multiple banks. I rather not provide statements for all of them so I just provided them a statement based on the checking account that my paycheck deposits into. Hope that is good enough

5.) How long does it take to get NBI Clearance? Can it be completed within a week?

6.) I read that you need a total of 4 Passport Photos. Is that correct or do I need more?

Again, thank you so much for the support! Trying my best to follow through will all this paperwork. I appreciate all the helpful responses I've received from this community since I started this process.

I am really confused. I called the NVC and they gave me my case number. Per the NVC case status page it is telling me that I can begin completing steps 1-6. Step 1 says I have to select my representing agent. My attorney last month however is telling me that I don't have to do anything and that the NVC automatically assigns my attorney as the agent. They also said that the embassy will forward the attorney automatically the interview date and medical exam from the consulate office. I am so confused right now because what they are saying doesn't align with the instructions for steps 1-6. Is this true?

Can i use a ipad to get through the NVC process???
