Time from DQ would change if your change consulates. Time to DQ is the time in the queue for an interview. You go to the back of the line if you change after DQ.

She cannot even get in the queue for a Manila interview until the Immigrant visa unit there accepts the case. Becoming a permenent resident of the Philippines is not easy or fast. She may not even have a path to do so. The same would be true for pretty much any country.

You can only interview in your country of citizenship or in a country where you are authorized to officially reside. There is no "embassy shopping".

Not my/our job to explain the "why" of any US Government website content. The fact is IMBRA applies to fiancee visas only and nothing else. Does not apply in a spouse case but AWA does.

We don't know if it's Adam Walsh Act related yet. If it is, it's probably a don't do it case.

I don't understand why AWA issues are being discussed in the IMBRA topics forum, but since the Moderators decided to keep it here, let's make a couple things clear. 1. IMBRA and AWA came to be around the same time, but they are very different. IMBRA does not apply to spouse cases, and it isn't about any US Government staff determining whether the petitioner is dangerous to the foreign fiancee. It's about making sure the fiancee is fully informed. PEROID. 2, AWA related convictions relate to both spouse and fiance cases, and definitely ARE about US Government employees judging whether the foreigner is in danger from the USC petitioner. AWA convictions don't usually get approved by USCIS at all, but they are NOT about informing the foreigner. That won't help get the petition approved. 3. The only way it would matter if it's the Philippines is that the foreign spouse can't get a divorce there. If divorce is decided, the USC has to get it, and then cooperate with the former Filipino spouse to provide the necessary documentation to get the divorce recognized by the Philippine Statistics Authority, so the Filipino can be free to marry again.

Doesn't matter in this case. What matters is AWA or not.

This criminal record only matters in a spouse visa case, if it falls under the Adam Walsh Act. None of the above matters one little bit (in a spouse visa case) if AWA is not part of the story. But yes, how he feels about it has no bearing. If it falls under AWA, it's probably wise to forget about bringing a spouse from another country. This is the IMBRA forum, but this is not an IMBRA related case. It's about Adam Walsh Act only.

He either needs to search the records and find out of file in the blind. If his crime falls under the Adam Walsh Act, USCIS will find it and he'll hear it from them in a year or so. He knows where the crime occurred, and when. Searching for the record is not difficult.

Start by clicking on the word guides at the top of any page here. Then you study the form instructions carefully. If you want to be spoon fed through the process, hire a professional. Visajourney is about helping you do it yourself, with emphasis on DO It and SELF.

I appreciate the recognition. Thanks to all.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Provide too much and they don't have time to look at any, or look at the less important stuff. Better to concentrate on the primary evidence that is actually important. This is from years of experienced. (Been a member here 20 years now) To rely on one person's experience tends to fall into the trap of coincidental correlation or "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc", the most common logical fallacy trap for humans.

Yes, either this or a qualified joint sponsor. This is something knowable before you filed the petition. Time for the US Citizen to move back to the USA and go to work.

No

It generally takes another six months after you send your response. One data point doesn't provide much information, but I've been watching this for 20 years now. After the Consulate sends your case back to NVC recommending they send it to USCIS, you're a year away from a decision. Read my first response to you again and get to work.

Did PSA correct it for you? What did you need to do to make that happen?

No

In order to have additional assets considered, you'll need an updated I-864 and to upload a new complete financial package including the updated affidavit and updated evidence for each asset. You cannot just add the asset documentation. It must both be stated in the affidavit AND documented.

So the AOM Advisory of Marriage is issued by the PSA. Go to the local PSA Office and ask them about correcting it.

Typically, no appostilled documents are required by the USA in the Spouse Visa process.

If I were in your shoes, I would "decide" to return to Israel, with a return date at least a day or two after the visa interview. I take it that it's decision, not the actual return that must be made in the next few days. You are not marginal as to your assets, but unless they are already stated and documented on your existing I-864, you would need a new one to have them considered. You don't say how long you must stay in Israel to keep your job before you leave to be with your wife in the USA, so that may be a consideration too. If she can state the present employment as of today is truthfully still ongoing on interview day, that simplifies things a lot. What you do the next day or after, has no bearing on her visa.

What's an "AOM"? What options are you aware of to "fix it"?

An actual NOID will have instructions. Maybe the online notice doesn't but the one you will get in the mail does. Do not rush this. Months ago, was the time to get a complete and detailed report from your spouse about what happened from the time they arrived at the Embassy in Lagos until they left. I mean word for word. Once you have that, you will understand the reasons and whether you have a case to overcome the revocation or you should accept and start a new case. (or stop and give up) You have a few months to respond. The last thing you want to do is waste your response by responding ineffectively.

Timing is based on your own priorities. There is no firm answer. It might feel like it, but this is not a test with an answer sheet to follow beyond the actual requirements. The point is to show you have a bona fide relationship.

Notarizing is not needed. If already submitted don't submit again. They are looking for more evidence, not the same stuff again.
