Hello everyone! My dad received his visa today (yay!). Can I purchase his plane ticket myself here in the US directly on the airline website or does he need to purchase one himself in the Philippines because they might ask for proof of payment? I’ve read somewhere that this is the case but might be an outdated policy? Your input will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you! I will make sure to update all those and request to expedite.

I petitioned my father in Sept 2019 (pre-covid). Went through all the hoops and finally was documentarily qualified on 1/20/2022. His case is still at NVC. I have sent a few emails to NVC and was told that they are waiting for an interview date and nothing is available. Also sent a few emails to the US Consulate in Manila and was told NVC has the documents and they cannot do anything. Is this a normal timeline? I have read the Visa Updates on their website in June 2022 that they have processed most IR cases that were documentarily qualified in March 2021. I don’t think we qualify to expedite the case unless they can accept old age and depression because of how long this is taking.
