Happy to report that we went to a yard sale last weekend. It was in our neighborhood so MrChancy agreed to go. I'm very pleased with my loot 😁 wrinkle-resistant sleeveless blouse - $1 porcelain salad bowls (set of 5) - $2

Are her parents now married? If not, does she have an affidavit of acknowledgement of paternity from her father? She cannot change her surname on her PSA birth certificate without either a PSA marriage certificate from her parents or an affidavit of paternity from her father. As for the name discrepancy on her BC and other documents, she will either need to have her BC corrected or have some other legal name change document. BC correction would be the easiest. The US consulate will require a legal document explaining the name discrepancy/change. An affidavit from your wife will not be enough. Not sure how she even got a passport from DFA with a different name from what's in her BC, but hey, it's the PH government 🤷‍♀️ Also, NBI clearance will be required. Your wife must submit one at NVC stage, after the I-130 petition that you will submit for her has been approved. Her NBI clearance must include an AKA field listing all the other names she has ever used on legal documents.

*** Moved from AOS from K1 Visas Progress Reports to AOS from Work/Student/Tourist Visas Progress Reports ***

*** Moved from AOS Progress Reports to AOS from Work/Student/Tourist Visas forum *** The I-485 has a section that requires the details of the underlying petition. So I guess you left that whole section blank?

Surrendering your GC was a mistake. CBP has no authority to remove your LPR status, and is legally required to admit you with a 10-year GC. Water under the bridge now, though. Lesson for other readers with 10-year GCs.

Before your parents can be interviewed by a consul officer, they will need to present themselves in front of Filipino staff who will ask them if their DS-160 is up to date. Any changes to the DS-160 must be made at that window.

Your PD is not current. F4 PD on the June 2023 visa bulletin is April 2007. You won't get an IL until after your PD becomes current on the visa bulletin. It doesn't matter even if your case is already DQ.

Not required.

That's fine. Just don't lose the approval notice (or any other correspondence from USCIS/DOS), or make paper/digital copies when you get it. You'll need the NOA2 copy for AOS after US entry with K1 visa.

Do you know your receipt number and receipt date, at least?

It seems Manila has not been scheduling interviews for CR1/IR1/CR2/IR2 cases DQ after Jan 2023. The thread below is mainly about CR1/IR1 cases but CR2/IR2 gets mentioned too --
