    Does anyone have any advice on this?

    Hi all, I helped my wife schedule her biometrics and interview appointment for her IR-1 visa on the https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/en/immigrant-visa website. I saw on one of the guides that you need to pay a visa fee of some sort before you are even able to schedule an appointment, but it never prompted us to pay. Did we do anything wrong? Thanks so much for any advice!

    Thank you for all the useful information! Me and my wife are working through the process of the new Visa Appointment system and trying to see the available dates for appointments now.

    Thank you for the help. I am having my wife work through the Visa Application part of the USTravelDocs new visa appointment system and we are stuck on the step where it asks for who your dependents are on the Visa. I believe the step is called "My Dependents" but I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean. We have a daughter and of course she is a dependent of my wife in the Philippines, but she has a CRBA from me (US Citizen) so she does not require any immigration. Would we add her on this step or just leave it blank? Thank you again!

    Hi all, Thank you so much for any advice. So finally the NVC sent me an email that told me they expedited my wife's IR-1 case to the Manila Embassy and told me to wait for a notification from the embassy regarding the Interview date. I still have not received any notification from them, but I have been told on this forum that they are not consistent at sending notifications at the right time so once my wife's visa status changes to "Ready" that this means we can schedule the interview online as well as the medical, etc. So yesterday I realized that it now does say "Ready," but I just wanted to confirm that I can go to the online appointment website at USTravelDocs to schedule it without worrying about waiting for any official word from the Manila Embassy itself? Thank you!

    Thank you, I appreciate the advice! I'm happy for your siblings also.

    Thank you Top Secret, I appreciate the help. This is something I had no idea about, but definitely sounds like good news. I will start checking CEAC for the update.
  11. Gaiden79
    Thank you for the answer. First time I've heard of this lol.
  12. Gaiden79
    Yeah, that could very well be true. We'll see i guess.

    Hello all, Thank you always for any advice you can give. Like the title says I just received an email from the NVC that my wife's IR-1 Visa for the Philippines has been approved for expedited processing. Here is a quote from the email below: "The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MANILA, PHIL approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application. The National Visa Center sent your immigrant visa application to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MANILA, PHIL for their action. The Embassy/Consulate General will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview." What's strange is I never filed for it to be expedited. Also, how soon should I expect them to contact me regarding the interview schedule? Thank you so much!
  14. Gaiden79
    Ok thanks.
  15. Gaiden79
    Thanks for clarify that. My original question was aimed more at exceptions to that rule since I've been waiting a while and also hearing about the new Visa Processing Center opening I thought I could schedule something. Maybe the new Visa Processing center will allow the NVC to give me an appointment date soon though?

    Hi all, My wife's IR-1 Visa is already DQ at the NVC since June 7, 2024, but still no interview appointment has been scheduled by the NVC. I heard about the new Visa Processing center in the Philippines to be opened on Sept 28 and I was wondering if I am allowed to try and schedule an interview since the NVC hasn't yet? I saw on the website that if the NVC hasn't informed me I can schedule an interview then I am not supposed to schedule an interview on the USTRAVELDOCS website. I am just confirming did I understand that right? Thanks all!

    Hi all, I just had a quick question about income requirements for the Affidavit of Support. Currently I'm waiting for my wife's interview in the Philippines and I wanted to take a day or 2 off work. I don't get paid time off so it would be an income loss. A few months from now if she has the interview will this be a problem when showing updated paystubs? From what I understand you only have to show the last few right? Thank you!

    Hi there, when did NVC approve your documents? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks.
