Does anyone with IR5 need an NBI explanation? My mom was interviewed on Feb 6, 2025, and received a 221G for NBI explanation. She went to the NBI office the same day to get interviewed. She was told that she would receive a call when it's been forwarded to the US Embassy. I sent my mother's passport and birth certificate (another 221G requirement) via LBC on 2/8/2025. I'm second guessing if I should have waited for the call/email before sending it in, but I was having a hard time getting the info out of my senior citizen mother 😅 Any insights on how long that process could take? Thank you

Interview letter received on 1/1/2025! Woot! Woot! 🙌 NVC scheduled the embassy interview for Feb 6, 2025. Medical has been scheduled for Jan 13. In the process is scheduling an OFC appointment (biometrics) but no slot is available right now.

Similar timeline to the OP. Waiting on IL now. We've been DQ'd since May 29. I recently requested an expedite based on financial hardship, hoping that my mother could attend my graduation in May next year, but that was not approved. I will try again in a few weeks with a medical reason since I've recently been sick and can use the doctor's note as evidence. Good luck to us!

My recently uploaded documents were accepted and I am now DQ. My CEAC status says "At NVC". I received an email about NVC scheduling an appointment and awaiting further instruction.

Just received the newly requested marriage cert and death cert documents from the PSA (Philippine's Civil Records Office) because the ones that I submitted NVC before were rejected. Uploaded them on 5/22 and resubmitted on CEAC website. Now we wait and see

Hello, I am hoping that one of you can give me an idea of what to do. I am going to be a U.S. citizen soon, and I am planning on petitioning my 63-year old mother. However, I can not find any record of her birth certificate. I tried getting her record using different possible names and years of birth, but no luck. All I have are negatives saying that she has no record. Anyway, with the negative birth certificates, we have been trying to do a late registration for her, but this is taking too long and the effort is too much (we got to do the registration of her birth certificate in Eastern Samar and we just don't have anyone reliable to help us with it). I am also not looking forward to getting her passport and other immigration-related papers with a late-registered birth certificate (they are prone to extra scrutiny). Does anyone else have other ideas on how to go about it? I'm not asking for anything illegal, just another option for registering her birth certificate or maybe an agency that can help? Your experience in dealing with a birth certificate that is 63 years old would be helpful. Thank you all for your help.
