Then your wife has nothing to worry about, if you know she did not accrue unlawful presence. As for her sister, the case is obviously more complicated if her previous waiver filing was already denied.

*** Removed related thread. Please post your related questions in this thread to keep the discussion in one place. *** @powerpuff already addressed your question above -- No need for I-693 if the DS-3025 worksheet is marked complete. Submit a copy of the DS-3025 with the I-485.

Request for expedite for your parent's case, based on the fact that they have been DQ for over a year already. According to the US embassy in Manila website, they are already scheduling interviews for IR cases DQed Aug 2022, so your case is way overdue for an interview -- https://ph.usembassy.gov/contact-us-visas/ Here's the contact form for the IV unit at USEM -- https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-inquiry-form/ In addition to sending the expedite request, you may also try booking an interview schedule directly through the US TravelDocs portal. Join the thread below (and their FB group) to help you monitor when interview slots become available --

Did you get a CEAC message and email that states that the case is "Documentarily Qualified" (DQ)? Also, what is the case status displayed on CEAC -- https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

Both K1 and FX2 categories can have derivatives, so adding 01 to the principal's case would not be strange. But the OP's wife's case is CR1, which is not allowed derivatives at all. My case was IR1 and I never saw an extra 01 added to my case number. It's not added automatically for "immediate relative" visa categories.

If you want your family to be with you in the US asap, the most ideal case is for you to find a US-based job BEFORE you travel to the US, get a formal offer in writing (with target start date of employment in the US), then use that job offer to request for direct consular filing (DCF) at the US embassy in Manila. IF you qualify for DCF based on exceptional circumstances (impending job relocation to the US), you could skip the long wait at USCIS + NVC and jump straight to the consulate stage. If there is any chance at all that you can get yourself a US job offer now, I recommend trying this approach first. The DCF option is only available while you are based in the Philippines. If you move to the US before filing the I-130 petition, you will have to file with USCIS and join the line behind everyone else who filed before you. By the way, is your child also a US citizen? Does your child have CRBA and US passport?

Will your foreign-earned income continue from the same source after you move to the US? If not, your qualifying income should have been listed as $0 in the I-864. But, as the note stated, it's up to the CO to decide at the time of the interview. Did you get a CEAC message that says the case is "Documentarily Qualified"?

RFEs are only issued to cases with pending petitions. Cases that require I-824 already have approved petitions. It's a silly technicality, but it is what it is.

The extra 01 usually indicates principal beneficiary's case number, in a case where there are also derivative beneficiaries. But since your wife's case is CR1, which is not allowed derivatives in the first place, that extra 01 is probably just an error on NVC's part. Unless your wife answered yes to the question in her DS-260 about having a spouse or children who are immigrating to the US with her? Do you live outside the US and will you be moving to the US at the same time as your wife?

Does your mother already have a Schengen visa to enter Poland?

Your wife's age and immigration status when she left the US matters. If your wife keeps to the terms of her B visa when she visits, she will not accrue unlawful presence, and will not get a ban. You said the sister remains in the US, so she could be accruing unlawful presence now, depending on her current status.

Hi all, Has anybody been able to get NBI clearance recently without an appointment? Or with an appointment but booked for a future date? It's my first time applying since NBI switched to the online system. I'm going to book an appointment but the earliest available slots are already in June I checked all the NBI centers within 2 hours driving distance from my house. I was hoping we'd be able to submit all the NVC-required documents by end of April, but it looks like the NBI clearance will set us back by a lot if I can only get it on my appointment date. If walk-ins are strictly not allowed, I may try just tagging the NBI clearance as not yet available, with a note to NVC that I will bring it to the interview.
