Just VJ housekeeping. You posted in the wrong sub-forum, I moved it to where it should be.

For US immigration purposes, police certificates are valid for 2 years from issue date. Though the consulate has discretion to request more recently-issued ones if they deem necessary (which would be unlikely).

No separate biometrics appointment for London. Biometrics will be taken at the consulate on the day of the interview.

*** Moved from NVC forum to US Citizenship General Discussion ***

Because NVC (and even consulates) send out template instructions to K1 and immigrant visa applicants. Applicants are supposed to decipher which sections are applicable to their case and which are not. My spouse visa interview letter includes instructions to bring the bank receipt for the K1 visa fee 🙄

Please clarify -- your Filipina fiancee? Wife? Daughter?

Are you able to post the RFE letter from USCIS, with all case numbers and personal info redacted?

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures to Moving to the US & Your New Life In America forum -- topic is about processes after US entry with immigrant visa *** The procedure will depend on the visa holder's POE and residence state. My IR1 visa also had that annotation. Although I never had active TB, the visa medical determined that I have the bacteria in my system (latent TB). No surprise, as TB is endemic in my home country. My POE was DFW in Texas. There were no special procedures triggered by the annotation. A few weeks after I got home in Louisiana, I got a letter from the health department inviting me to make an appointment at the nearest state clinic. At my appointment, I had a chest x-ray and IGRA blood test to verify the findings from the visa medical. Same findings -- no active TB disease, but latent TB infection. The doctor offered treatment for the TB infection to minimize the risk of developing active TB disease. The pulmonologist consultation, lab tests, and treatment/medication were all covered by the state. No cost to me, and no insurance required.

Here are the actual requirements from the DOS manual -- https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM050207.html#M502_7_3_C_3 "If the applicant is 16 years of age or older, they must obtain an original or certified copy of a police certificate, if obtainable, for: (a) (U) Their country of nationality, if they lived in the country of nationality for more than six months at any time in their life; (b) (U) Their current country of residence, if different from nationality, if they have lived in that country for more than six months; or (c) (U) Their previous country or countries of residence if they were 16 years or older at the time they lived there and lived in that country for 12 months or more; and (d) (U) Any city and/or country where they were arrested for any reason, regardless of how long they lived in that city or country and regardless of age at the time of arrest. (e) (U) See U.S. Visa Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country for availability of police certificates for individual countries. (f) (U) Present and former residents of the United States do not need to submit any U.S. police certificates." Based on item (a) above, seems to me you'll need police certificates from the 1st and 2nd countries because you lived there for more than 6 months, assuming you have citizenship in both countries. The policy doesn't say you need PC only from the country of current nationality. But obviously, you'll need a PC from the UK as well.

K1 cases do not upload any documents for NVC review. The original police certificates must be presented to the consulate staff at the visa interview.

Update your DS-260 info at the consulate on the day of your visa interview.

What travel document will your wife present to be able to board the plane to Japan or Korea? If all she has is her Philippine passport, and no US green card nor Japan/Korea tourist visa, she won't even be allowed to check in to her flight to enter Japan or Korea. Transiting is fine without a visa, but she will not be able to exit the airport to explore either of those countries.

Petitioner must sign the I-130 for their child. No self-petition for child of USC, except for victims of abuse by their USC parent/step-parent.

Mine took 130+ days from POE to be delivered. You may try filing a USCIS service request for Non-Delivery of Card to try to nudge your case along, but don't get your hopes up. I don't think it helped my case, but it did give me some peace of mind having sent a reminder in writing.

Note that the above applies to the visa medical clinic in the Philippines specifically. Visa medical clinics in other countries may charge a fee for vaccinations, separate from the visa medical fee. The Department of State does not impose a standardized fee structure for their accredited clinics.
