This upcoming Wednesday will be the 13th week of waiting for passport renewal (received by DOS 06/07/2023). My dumb self didn't expedite due to my father having got his in 6 weeks last year (he decided not to go after all) I would like to have it in my possession so if my wife's IR1 interview comes up and gets her visa, I can just hop on KAL to pick her and my son up. Has anybody had any luck with getting a passport renewed lately or is everybody still in limbo?

Thank you for the reassuring answer. My HR hasn't been able to answer this question as to if it's a "life changing" event, and quite frankly haven't had much time to call the insurance company.

My wife has been DQ'd and awaiting interview date for USEM in Manila. My question; will my spouse be required to show proof of health insurance during the interview? I have searched for an answer but couldn't find it. October is the open enrollment and can easily add my wife and son if need be.

New to this thread... IR1 I-130 PD July 22, 2022. Was approved June 26, 2023. Now DQ'd and waiting to schedule interview.

I did clue him in on this being an option, but his petition was prepared by an attorney without consideration of him becoming a US Citizen. I personally think it's irresponsible of his attorney not to present that option at the time of filing. I will suggest to him to get his son's I-130 as soon as possible so it can be approved around the time he takes the oath resulting in, perhaps, a slight delay in his family's progress.

Thank you for those answers. I'll go ahead and relay that info. Can he file the I-130 now as an F1 for his child now, so that by the time he becomes a citizen the additional I-130 should be getting approved by USCIS?

He filed only one I-130 for an F2, with his child as a derivative of his wife.

I am asking for a friend who is a LPR trying to get his family over to the USA to join him. Next year he becomes a US Citizen (we hope). He filed for his spouse and son back in 2000 and is DQ'd already and waiting for an interview date. He is asking me questions but I cannot answer some of them as I have filed for IR1. So far, I informed him after receiving his Naturalization Certificate and/or Passport he will have to file a separate I-130 for his child, he filed for him as a derivative of his spouse. What I can't answer is: 1. Will he have to pay the fee for the separate petition? 2. Will his child's separate petition have to undergo approval from USCIS, thus delaying his case? 3. Does he report this to USCIS, NVC or both? (I have recommended checking out Visa Journey, just not sure if he'll actually visit the site. Forums aren't for everybody)

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like those weren't looked at yet, or perhaps not needed. Do those pertain to I-864 co-sponsors?

Ah, I interpreted that wrong then. Glad I got my marriage void ab initio then.

Well since she has been there for 10 years, you have no obligation with the Affidavit of Support any longer. Just find a divorce attorney in Hawaii and get it over with so you can move on with your life. I had brought over my ex-wife from the Philippines way back in 2005. After a similar situation to yours, I decided to Nullify the marriage in the Philippines. It took 7 years and PHP 250k to get rid of her in my life and to assure that any public charge wouldn't come back to bite me. A divorce would've been so much easier though.

My wife's I-130 has been approved and now waiting for NVC. In the meantime I am pre-filling the DS-230 in preparation of the DS-260 coming soon. 21a. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will accompany you to the United States now. I understand that my name doesn't need to be there because I am the sponsor, but does my son need to be listed? He was born in the Philippines and has not been out of the country yet, however he is already a US Citizen with CRBA and Passport. I will be going there to accompany them on the flight to the United States. (Hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question)
