Hi, So far no one has mentioned the physical for a CR1 spousal Visa, How and where near Manila can we go for her physical? Our Journey so far, I filed May 27th, 2023, I got approved Sept 2024, before I was approved they asked for more proof of our marriage. Apparently they didn't see where her marriage was annulled, they were looking for a separate document, in the Philippines they annotate on the boarder of the marriage license the annulment information, I drew a thick black boarder around it with arrows pointing to it, sent the package back in digitally, with in 3 days I was approved and my case was closed and moved to the NVC (National Visa Center) Once at the NVC, things started rolling along fast, after all of our documents were approved it slowed down again. If you don't hear back from the NVC with in a reasonable time, go to this website, https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visa-inquiry-form/, fill out the form and ask your question, they always got back to me with in 7 working days. There is a process you must go through to get to the area where you can make your biometric and final appointments. The biometric is to prepare you for the final interview, they take your finger prints check you documents and so forth, this is not at the embassy, they will provide the address when you get to that point. Her biometric appoint is in Feb, final appointment is mid March, hopefully she will be here in the US by end of March. Thank you, and good luck on your visa journey Dan & Juliana Nora Eaton

Hi, we got through the NVC process about a month ago and our application was sent to the US Embassy Manila. The NVC went quickly, all of our documents and application was approved on Sept 3. How can we make sure the application got to the embassy and isnt lost in the process? How can I check the wait times for an appointment letter? I would like to thank you all for the help in the past, I have tried to respond to you individually, I cant figure it out. Thank you for all of your help and suggestions, Dan and Juliana

Hi, I cannot not figure out what tax transcript they are asking for. This is the information they give; Please upload and submit Dan's most recent Wage and Income IRS tax transcript from 2023. A transcript can be obtained on the IRS's website: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript. If you were not required to file a tax return, please write, and scan an explanation for not filing. If you filed taxes with your spouse, please also submit all of your W-2s and or 1099s. For more information, please visit https://nvc.state.gov/fin. I have gone to the website and uploaded both available transcripts for year 22 and 23, sent in all of my 1099s for both years which were accepted. Both of my Federal Income Tax Return or Transcript has been rejected. I submitted these transcripts on Aug 21, they show they have been uploaded, I just resent my 2023 and 2022 return and account transcripts again, they have been uploaded alng with the same transcripts i sent on the 21st. I even filled out Form 8879 for both years and uploaded it. I hope someone can give me guidance on what I need to send in. Thank you again for your help. Dan and Juliana

I recieved a letter from USCIS wanting proof of evidence of our marriage, I was at 4 months, They received the proof and it went up tp 5 months, later that day my application was approved and case closed. This happened last thursday. As I was told when my dates kept changing from 1 week to 5 months not to be concerned with those dates. I applied May 28 2023.

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice, I will look into the suggestions. Dan & Juliana

My spouse is in the Philipines waiting for her spouse visa. I received a Request for Evidence letter from USCIS. They want evidence of shared bank accounts, share housing contracts ect... She has never been to the US, I tried to sign her on to my bank accounts and with out a SSA they can't. My tax preparer didnt put me as married since she isnt here and no SSA. We were able to add her as my military dependent at the VA in Manila. Is there a way I can get her a SSA while we are waiting for the Visa? On the items they want shared contracts I wrote in the letter why she isnt on them. Thank you for any help. Dan & Juliana Nora

I was just going to ask for any advice on applying for a spouse tourist visa. There is a drop down screen asking what type of tourist visa I am applying for, spouse was listed, when i tapped it, it asked for my USCIS account number, I didnt have it at the time, I have it now, further down it asked for her passport information, we just got that today also. So I'm ready to apply for it unless i get advice from here that its not advisable.

I sent in the I-130 and I-130a, Im waiting for an account number that the tourist spouse visa is asking for,

Once I get my USCIS account number abd she recieves her philippine passport i plan to apply for a tourist spouse visa in hopes she can wait in the states while her spouse visa is being processed. We understand that she will not be allowed to work during that time.

thanks for your input, im finding out she cant get a us passport, why i was asking, i dont want to make the spouse visa any harder than it is. I heard the embassy can process the visa if they want to, im working on that too, im not trying to do anything illegal, just looking for a legal backdoor that is publisized if you know what i mean, we had a long wait to get her annulment done due to covid, then it took us 5 months to process the paperwork to get the decree. I will ask if there is anything we can do to get the embassy to process it, if not, ill fly home and send the application in, it is ready to go. Thanks for you comments. If i find anything out, ill post it.

If I knew the answers I wouldnt be asking the questions. I stated that we need to apply for a spouse visa using the I-130 I-130a applications. I am trying to find short cuts that are legal and wont hinder the spouse visa process, this is why I am getting advice. I dont know where else to get information at this point. We have an appointment tomorrow to sign her up for military benefits at the US Embassy VA office in Manila, I will ask there also and then see what we find when we try to apply for a US passport at the US Embassy in Manila next week. Everything we do is legal, we will not lie on the applications. We are married and I would like to take her home with me while we wait for her visa. Thanks for your input. Dan & Juliana Nora
