  1. Oh yeah, may be accelerated I meant. Thank you for the correction. I was thinking of our I-90 replacement of lost GC that got denied when the 2-year have expired for CR1, due to the reason of pending I-751. Paid for the I-90, paid for the I-751, and soon for N-400, another set of payment. Hopefully, by then, we hear from USCIS and get out monies worth. Our fault that we have to go to USCIS yearly to get I-551 stamp because of loss GC.
  2. Entering as CR1, green card is conditional resident with expiry of 2 years from entry. 3 months or less before expiry, conditional LPR needs to file I-751 Removal of Conditions. I-751 takes a long time to process but cLPR should receive letter of extension from USCIS when nearing the 2 year expiry. (We did receive a letter to file for the I-751, we are still waiting for approval/issuance of 10 yr green card (estimated 2026). Hubby is eligible for naturalization soon, so we may get US citizen first and 751 denied
  3. 1.) Visit this post for UID - 2.) Document submission form with passport. I suggest to submit a copy of 221-G as well with passport. (no harm in sending) 3.) Upload only the document required. (Pardon me, we didn't experience 221G but just helping you to some answers found in VJ and from our chat group then when we were processing.)
  4. No, do not use Global Entry as that uses whatever document you previously registered. With your CR1 stamp in your passport, enter LPR line. You will be processed as LPR, make sure to check your passport for your entry stamp before leaving the officer. Later on, update your Global Entry enrolment documents with your green card and other info needed. Your travel document is now your CR1 stamp on passport. Becomes your I-551 once endorsed by the immigration officer on your point of entry.
  5. It is on the last page of the filed pdf generated (well, at least it is for me - am using Desktop TurboTax (TT) though, not online). Your final pdf should have some certification from TurboTax that it has been e-filed. Email final pdf.
  6. Yes, I suggest you update I-864, use latest form. No need to sign, include the TT electronic post-mark certificate of electronic filing. Upload and also email to your spouse to print and take to interview. Seems the same still happening when we filed in 2022 - Manila requiring updated 864. We had a chat group back then, so, we get the scoop as each person undergo the interview.
  7. Because you provided your 2024 W2 (even though you have not filed taxes for 2024) it should be reflected in your Affidavit of support. Just fill up another i-864 with your 2022-2024 income, then upload. Upload the 2024 W2 too if not yet uploaded. God bless!
  8. I was PH citizen, married a PH citizen in PH. (year1) Divorced in US before US citizenship. (year4) Gained US citizenship. (year11) Married a PH citizen. (year20) Filed ROM. (year20) Petitioned the PH citizen. (year21) Gained Dual PH with 2nd marriage's last name. (year23) Honestly, I do not know my status in PH if ever we retire there or buy property. 😇😁 I guess we retire here and just visit PH 🤣
  9. Review the I-130 filed as the information is asked there: vs
  10. No need for the 1040 since you already have the transcripts. I think she is good to go! Blessings to you both!
  11. Last 3 years of transcript (21,22,23) and the last W2 (2023) to be uploaded in CEAC and have on hand (just email and print). This has been the normal ask of since we processed in 2022. A lot of people were sent out to upload those 4 docs (expensive printing/internet outside embassy, plus immigrant may not have their phone), then if still early to come back. Some people were asked only the latest. It is still best to provide the last 3 years and last W2, to show continuous income to support our beneficiary. Just sharing our experience (we had a group chat then).
  12. Hello @Jon and Krissy, replied your direct message. Got the way using posts in 2022, to email the Americas desk - oca.crd-us@dfa.gov.ph requesting transmittal details. Two days after, they replied to us that our ROM will be transmitted next month as they send them monthly, and to follow up next month if report have arrived. So we followed up the next month, still not available (requested from PSA and none found). So we used both the DFA/OCA email and PSA status(not found) for my husband's CFO. It took the entire week (CFO interview was on a Monday), as the interviewer does not have power to approve. Come Friday, we got the email for the CFO certificate.
  13. The PDF online is same as what you will receive in mail but with the official logo/paper. Read it, if it is approved, it is approved. Probably, once they completed the mailing, your status will change, something like forwarded to State (NVC). Congrats! For your peace of mind, I look at my history: I-130 Approval. pdf Nov 9, 2021 Case History: We are actively reviewing your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. Our records showed nothing is outstanding at this time. (Nov 9) Your case for your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative was approved. (Nov 10) Case Was Sent To The Department of State (Nov 13).
  14. I think I followed the site. Essentially, I made 4 sets. 1st set contains the original form/docs (like affidavits) that that will be left to them - like the ROM itself. 1st set is notarized originally - the rest of the sets are copies. (this is also noted on site - #2 last bullet). I separated all the originals (MC,BC,DD), that will be returned to me (bind clip).
  15. Even before (2022), not needed. Since you are filing at SF, that is your guideline. No need to refer to other consulate. PCGSF checklist is as of May 22, 2024, so it is recent. My experience with them has been good. They answer my emails, they sent email confirming receiving our application.
