US Immigration from Philippines

Check on your relatives in the Philippines. Taal volcano is on level 4 of 5 at the moment. I know there's limited resources at the moment and it's not easy to get anywhere but might help to coordinate other relatives from worst affected to least.

Hope everyone stays safe.

Greetings Visa Journey members! Just got my NOA2 approval (10 Jan 2020)...does anybody know what the current waiting period is for cases from the Nebraska Service Center to arrive at NVC?

Hi,

I have been searching around here to see if there is a full guide on how-to file/apply for CRBA, but I have not seen any yet. Has anyone posted a thread about it? Thanks!

Our interview is scheduled for February 18 and that s also the same day we were going to go to the Philippine Consulate Outreach Program for her passport renewal. Our interview for my wife s green card is at 1:15pm. What was the wait time for anybody who has attended the outreach program with the appointment? Are you done within a few hours? Could maybe do the passport renewal in the morning and rush back to town for the interview? Or should we just forget it and wait until April. ROM is done and her passport expires in June.

Ok, so I am jumping the gun, but all indications are my wife will be here in America in a few months on her 10 year perm greencard (IR). So, she is an only child, which is uncommon in the PH, and her mom and dad are not in the best health and there are few to look after them. And yes, I am aware we can hire a nurse etc. That is not the point.

Her dad is a retired National Police Officer with a pension of about $500 + USD a month, mom nothing. My wife and I outright bought a house and lot, which the wife owns fully, in Metro Manila, and her parents reside there at no cost. We (I) also send a bit of money every month to help with extra costs.

My wife and I are interested in bringing her mom and dad (about 62 years old each) to the US. What would the difference be with my wife bringing them as a perm resident vs my wife waiting 3 years until she is an American citizen and them bringing them to live in the USA?

We have also looked at a 10 year multiple entry tourist visa.

Any constructive advice is welcome in regards to bringing her parents over one way or another in regards to things such as finances, financials, etc etc. I know of a few Filipinas who have brought parents over.
