  1. Curious to hear from ex-cabin crew or from anyone who might have insight... My wife's CR1 visa is documentarily complete since Nov 2023. We're just waiting for an interview. She's Filipina but lives in the UAE where she works as cabin crew for one of the airlines. Her US crew visa has expired and she has an appointment to renew later this month at one of the embassies in the UAE. Any chance that they'll just combine both interviews and kill two birds with one stone? It would make sense specially if the consulate is so back-logged. Her crew visa renewal application did ask if she has any other pending visa... Thanks for any input.
  2. This is super helpful, I greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure if it matters but she'll be doing her interview in the UAE where she has residency and not in Manila.
  3. Hi all, sorry to bring this topic back up. We're now at the CEAC stage and my wife is applying for her NBI clearance. We never did submit a ROM. If she puts 'married' on the NBI application, will there be issues? Should she put 'single'? Tried searching the forum but I couldn't find any posts on this topic. Thanks!
  4. Hello all, We submitted the I130 for my wife back in Oct. 2022 and we're still waiting for the NVC stage. I'm trying to do as much research as I can about the upcoming steps. My wife is Filipino but is a resident in Abu Dhabi. I've read a lot about long wait times for interviews at the AD consulate (up to a year!). My question - when we reach the interview stage, do we have the option to select which consulate to do the interview in? It sounds like there is almost no wait time in Manila so that sounds like a much better option. I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum thread for this post. Thank you!
  5. Hello all, I'm a US citizen and my wife is Filipina. We met in Abu Dhabi where we both lived and worked, though I'm back permanently in the US now and she's still there. We got married in Abu Dhabi in September and filed the I-130 petition shortly after. We haven't yet submitted the ROM to the Philippines Embassy in Abu Dhabi and were going back and forth on if we should even do so. I've seen a lot of posts on here about the ROM but most of them are procedural questions. We'd like to know what the benefits of filing a ROM are? I know that without a ROM she won't be able to renew her Philippines passport under her married name. That's not a big deal for us. Are the benefits mostly on the Philippines side or will the US government care about a foreign ROM at all? She also owns a couple of properties in Manila which she'll be keeping. Will not having a ROM affect that at all? Thanks so much for you input.
