@mike876 Is your caps lock button broke? Asking for a friend Refer to my previous post: Do you think you are the first person to do this 2x? Stop worrying. She will get her CFO Show me 1 example of this. I'll wait,,,,

It's very simple, you meet the requirements or you don't. There is no such thing as kinda.

No worries. Just make sure that she gets a green card before going back. Why did she? Did you meet her in Guam?

CFO is something that any Filipino must complete before leaving the country for any type of immigration intent. Yes, we had to do the medical again Fortunately, she was not flagged for sputum the second time. Our biggest issue was the covid shutdown. We did everything we could to try and reschedule the interview after having to go through the sputum. a little over 3 months later we finally got scheduled. We got a 221g and by the time that was fixed and they were ready to issue the visa we only had a few days of validity left and it did not give us enough time. The embassy said retake the medical and then they would issue the visa. Everything went smoothly from there. In your case she has the visa. If she does not use it before it expires it will be a more difficult process. That's why everyone here is suggesting to do anything you can to get the CFO on Monday. Hopefully they will take pity on her and let her through. As far as greasing the wheels, that is common in a lot of things in the Philippines, but don't even think about it with the CFO.

It looks like you waited too long to come to this forum. CFO is a Philippines requirement and has nothing to do with the visa or the visa process. I agree with the above, show up on Monday and beg if you must. Make sure you can show verification of the plane ticket and explain that you had no idea that it was needed. She must bring her passport and 2 ID, and a copy of your passport and marriage certificate. I can pretty much guarantee that you will not be able to get an extension because it is your responsibility to know about the CFO. The expiration of visa is 6 months from the first appointment of the medical not when it is completed (after sputum). My wife had the same issue because after the sputum, we could not get an interview after the completion due to covid lockdown. Finally got the interview about 1 week before her medical expired so she had to re-take the medical. Best of luck to you.

You are over thinking. Your CFO shows married. You will need to submit your divorce decree. CFO will most likely make your fiance jump through more hoops than most, but she will get her sticker. Tell her stay strong, and confident, yet humble. If she is weak or timid they will chew her up.

No specific expertise on this, but these are my thoughts. You are trying to immigrate through the US government. While some states and some other countries have legalized marijuana for medical us,e and some even for recreational use, the federal government has not, so this will be a problem.

Subject says IRS so that would lead me to believe US taxes

If the kids are US citizens they can get theirs through healthcare.gov as well as your husband. You can also go through there I believe) after you get a green card, but you would need to do it through marketplace. Of course this is all based on if you qualify. I believe they have a link to submit a request for help applying. Someone will call you. I think you have to make an account and put in an application put in an application first. At least your husband and children could get coverage immediately.

Just to be absolutely clear, it is exactly 6 months from the first day you check in for your medical at SLEC.

They have a location for all of that. These forums. Every pitfall you can come across has been posted here. The problem is if you only come here when you have a problem and make a post, you will not know the abundance of the information here. I started frequenting these forums when I first had the thought of pursuing a visa for my wife. I came here every day or 2 during the entire process.

Not according to this post

Wont be good if she gets her visa and your children don't have the CRBA.

I do not know how many times I need to say this. Sadly that also includes this forum. Every LCR is different. Find out exactly what you need. Also they should be able to tell you how to get it. If they only want one from the embassy, you will need to go to the embassy. I flew into Manila in the evening. Stayed in a hotel across the street from the embassy, went there and got affidavit in the morning, then went off to my wife's place.

We have a Jolibee's inside of our Seafood City, and Red Ribbon.

No

It's less than $350 for for the medical exam. Includes all vaccines and testing. Wondering how? Biden administration, that's how. You are correct, it's not easy doing things correctly.

You are over planning. No one can give you any guarantees. There are so many variables. She could be flagged for sputum testing in her medical which will set you back 60 days. You could get a 221g at the interview. Don't try to put the cart before the horse. Many people here have tried and lost at that game. Either buy a ticket with variable dates (which will probably be the same as what your pay for one 2-4 weeks out once she passes the interview. CFO should most likely be the least of your concerns honestly.

1. Someone put up the percentage recently, I think 1 in 10, and Sputum is discussed in here probably every 2 weeks or so. My wife got flagged for sputum first medial and later ended up retaking medical and no sputum. 2. Also very common. I would be more surprised if they asked for it.

Online is gone. Only in person now. You will get your appointment when you get it. Remember this is the Philippines. Most I have seen are getting appointments pretty quickly. You time would be better spent planning her departure and arrival than worrying about how long it will take, It will be done before you know it.

Exactly what you said. Maybe not what you meant. Of course. Anyone with any experience in this area knows. No one was telling him they would. Plain and simple, they follow guidelines set by US. No petitioner is going to change anything by crying about it.

Thank you but it was a rhetorical question

So who sets the policy for healthcare centers that are screening visa applicants?

Her visa will be valid for 6 months from the day she went in, in November. So March departure should be fine.

If it looks like this, it's all you need
