US Immigration from Philippines

This thread is for I130 October 2024.. anyone in here?

In Jan 2023 my wife & I filed our I751. In a cover letter I explained to USCIS that my wife & I had long ago decided that we would not mingle our assets, past or future and that neither of us had any debt to share. Therefore we would not be able to furnish any of their suggested documents of shared responsibility for indebtedness. We did furnish several documents I thought should be sufficient to lift the restrictions including our marriage documentations which (as of this writing) are currently almost 5 years old. That's right, we've been married and living in the same house every day for almost 5 years. In Sept 2024 we received an RFE requesting the same documents we were unable to provide with the original filing. It sounds to me like they are requesting us to open joint accounts and create joint loans so as to be able to provide documents to prove their existence. I really don't know what else to do. I'm hoping someone here has some better ideas. Thanks for listening. BTW, the RFE is from the service center in Irving, Tx, not California.

Hi all,

I hope you re all doing well. I m back asking for your input. I petitioned for my siblings and the petition is now approved and in NVC and the MNL case has been created. The visa availability is still decades away.

My sister got divorced. Anyone here knows how I can update her name and status in her approved petition?

I appreciate your help.

I have 3 applications in process, Wife and 2 stepsons. There are a total of 9 civil documents to upload of which 8 have uploaded successfully. Some documents uploaded as jpeg while the same document for another application had to be converted to pdf before being accepted. The final document to be uploaded is my wife's Birth certificate. I have submitted both pdf and jpeg formats, compressed to different sizes (under 4mb and under 2mb), I have used google chrome, microsoft edge, and chrome on my android phone. Everytime I try to upload it I receive this notification:

Please correct the following error(s):

• Select a File: Invalid Image Detected

This notification appeared with other files but corrected after I changed formats or sizes. I found a thread here thats outdated on this topic where the conclusion was that the issue was on the .gov server side and to just keep re uploading and it will eventually work.

Does anyone have any insights on this issue?

Posting for a friend.

I need help understanding my friend s situation. Please help.

My friend s father wanted to come to the US. My friend is a US citizen, let s call her Camille, and she lives in New Jersey. Camille said she does not have the means to support her father to come to the States. Camille s Aunt, a US Citizen, lives in Oregon, offers to help pay for the processing fees and flight fare for Camille s father. Her Aunt and her father are related. Her Aunt also offers that her father may live in Oregon to find work.

I thought that sounds illegal? You file a petition for your father, somebody else pays for the fees, and does not live with you? I think she is in a risky situation.

My question is, is that possible? Is that legal? Has anybody done that? Please share your input about this situation and share your experience when you brought your parents to the US.

Thank you!
