The CEAC message is a generic one. The part about NVC sending the interview date does not apply to K1. You would likely have to book the interview appointment yourself. If none are available for August, send a request to the consulate directly for an expedited appointment due to your K2 aging out soon. Note that K1 & K2 need to fill out the DS-160 form, not the DS-260 form.

The CO is under DOS, not USCIS. DOS CO's are not always well-versed in policies regarding adjustment of status, same way that USCIS IO's are not always aware of visa processing regulations. In your wife's case, USCIS will determine if she is eligible for AOS. Here's a better source from the USCIS policy manual -- https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-2 Urgent Humanitarian Reasons or Significant Public Benefit DHS may parole a noncitizen based on urgent humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons.[42] DHS may grant urgent humanitarian or significant public benefit parole only on a case-by-case basis.[43] Any type of urgent humanitarian, significant public benefit, or deferred inspection-directed parole meets the “paroled into the United States” requirement.[44]

*** Removed related thread. Please post your related questions/updates in this thread to keep the discussion in one place. *** If your wife is able to enter the US as a parolee, then yes, she is eligible to adjust status by filing I-485. Being paroled in is a valid immigration status for applying for AOS based on marriage to a USC. Here's the official USCIS page about it -- https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-immediate-relatives-of-us-citizen

Have PSA send it directly to the embassy in SG. Unlike Manila, it seems they don't accept CENOMAR hand-delivered by the visa applicant.

Because it is probably very rare for a K1 applicant in Singapore to have a petitioner who is former Filipino or dual PH/US citizen. It's possible that your fiancee will not be asked for petitioner's CENOMAR. But if the CO in Singapore realizes that you were born and raised in the PH, they might issue a 221g and delay the case if they don't have your CENOMAR on file. Up to you if you want to preempt that, or if you'd rather wait if they issue 221g.

The CO will not ask for your flight ticket as they know it can be easily cancelled or re-scheduled whenever. Here's a recent report of another interview at Seoul with questions related to US domicile. The USC petitioner brought a signed job offer --

Just because a video is posted on Youtube doesn't mean the content creator is employed by Youtube. Unless OP actually works for Youtube/Google/Alphabet, the Youtube headquarters address in California should not appear anywhere on their visa application.

I assume your fiance is Filipino. Both you (the USC petitioner) and your fiance need CENOMAR. You can order CENOMAR online. From https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MNL-Manila.html#pre_interview_checklist -- You may request PSA submit your CENOMAR directly to the US Embassy (recommended) here: https://www.psaserbilis.com.ph/Default.aspx For K1, F2A spouse, and CR1/IR1 petitions: If your petitioner was born in the Philippines and lived at least one (1) year in the Philippines after the age of 18 –A Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) from the PSA valid within one (1) year from the date it was obtained.

*** Moved from K1 Process & Procedures to K1 Progress Reports, to be among other threads about timeframe estimates *** As mentioned above, NVC does not send welcome letter for K1. Also, invoice ID is only for immigrant visa cases that need to login to CEAC, like spouse visa. Not K1, as K1 cases do not need to login to CEAC. K1 only needs NVC case number to check status on CEAC.

The CO will just briefly inspect it, then pass it back to the applicant after the interview. But it has happened before that a CO at USEM forgot to return the original documents. If that happens in your case, before leaving the counter, politely request the CO to hand the documents back.

Invoice ID is only required for immigrant visa cases. Not K1. K1 only needs NVC case number.

They were referring to your posts that hijacked another thread in the K1 forum. So those posts were merged into this existing thread.

Are you not able to send your certified copy divorce decree to your fiancee? Regardless of what has worked for others in the past, the safest approach for your fiancee would be to bring the original or certified copy of your divorce decree to her K1 interview at USEM. It's possible she would be approved without it, or you could be risking getting a 221g. Your choice.

Back in 2021, the CO at USEM was fine with the scanned-then-printed copy of my petitioner's divorce decree. This year it seems like they're handing out 221g letters for originals/certified copies of divorce decrees.
