    If you have the physical receipt notice, the address of your service center can be found at the bottom

    I met my husband through work when I was visiting my US based client for our yearly business review. Very cliche but it happened when I least expected it, I was not looking for a husband 😅. He worked at the company that I was visiting, so that was a very interesting situation for a while!

    My passport and green card have different names. I always book my tickets under the name that is in my passport (maiden name) and always carry my marriage certificate that shows my name change after marriage. Never had issues

    They don’t have to get married in the Philippines though? They can pick another country to get married in?

    Paging @Crazy Cat for his awesome overview! I would do the CR1 if I were you!

    The relative should qualify on their own merits and show that they have strong ties to their home country. No sponsors for tourist visas

    Do it after your trip, there is absolutely no need to do it the exact day of. Take your time to prepare your packet!

    Reddit is where people usually post their approvals/timelines etc. so that would be the best place to post. Visajourney is the best place to get advice, a lot of knowledge here!

    He interviews alone. You will most likely not be allowed into the building but you can check that with the embassy.

    If your question is if it will speed up the process, the answer is no. If you haven’t even started the process yet and the pregancy happens now, just realize that the other partner might not be able to be there during the birth and mom might have to take care of the baby on her own for a bit. Babies and immigration aren’t always the best combo.

    Congrats, that is wonderful news!

    You can but don't have to. I chose not to, and only added a few which included family members and/or friends. I only sent a few though

    You will receive it after you send in your I-751 (it is part of the receipt notice).

    They take a loooooong time to process, I am almost 2 years in and counting You will receive a 48-month extension letter and are free to travel and continue working. Make sure to always bring your expired greencard and unexpired extension letter with you when you travel. I have done so many, many times without any issues. Have a great trip!

    They saw the pattern of people who came in on non-immigrant visas and adjusted status in the US (both you and your husband did this), so they assumed that she will do the same (suddenly 'meet' a USC and get married)

    Just a stack of papers, with the cover letter on top. Easy peasy!

    @Crazy Cat was not being snarky or loaded.. AOS from a tourist visa or Esta always looks like a great idea until reality kicks in, so the planning part is important.

    This feature is highly unreliable anyways so don't worry about not seeing it anymore! Better for your mental health

    You can check the case status in your online account and the screenshot looks to be from the Lawfully app (but I might be wrong) USCIS doesn’t automatically add manually filed cases, so it is a good thing that you added it. What does it say under your I-751? Received or something to that effect?

    I wasn’t being cruel, I made a joke. I also advised that your friend can check in with the first petitioner (if they are still in contact) to ask if they actually submitted the I-129f or of they withdrew. Maybe the best case scenario is that they didn’t file so she doesn’t have a pending petition. On a more serious note, the timing and circumstances are a little unconventional (you call it unique as well). Your friend committed to marrying a US Citizen, that person decided to call off the engagement and 6 months later another US Citizen is ready to petition and your friend is ready to get married to them now. I know love works in mysterious ways, but that is a little concerning..

    Wow! I wish I had people line up for me like that on such short notice! It took me 45 years to find somebody I was sure enough about to get married to, while other people find 2 of them in 6 months! 😅 Is your friend still in touch with the first one? Maybe she can ask them if the I-129f was actually filed? And if it was filed, if they withdrew the application?

    I think everybody is still trying to get used to the situation, it is a big change for everyone. I can only imagine the tension in the house.. Also, 'tampo' might play a part here as well? Have you seen more behavior like that? You mention that she has threatened to leave before and also did it when you were visiting with the kids, that is not a safe feeling for the kids, why would they feel like they have to build a relationship with somebody who shows this type of behavior?

    Mine took a week.

    These are both amusing and infuriating to read.. Especially on Reddit, VAWA is considered as a last resort to get a green card and people seem to have no issues at all to do this. For the people who actually were abused by their US Citizen spouse (It does happen!) this must be so frustrating to see..
