That is good news. They are actively working on your case now. The initial evidence isn't just "whatever you could come up with". Initial evidence are required document. For example, did you include all final divorce degrees, and many other things in the correct format as required? You'll just have to wait to find out what you missed. Or perhaps they want additional evidence as well, and not just initial evidence.

I wouldn't worry about it .. at least not until the end of the week... I got the impression that when I got the 1st email that the passport was out for delivery, that it really wasn't even shipped yet .. just packed. If it was me, I would wait until Wed or Thu and just go to the 2GO office to see if it has arrived, and send another tracking request. Keep us updated

I had the same negative results using the other online shipping tools. That is because the other tools will just interface with 2GO's server, which is down. The only way to track it is is use send 2GO a message on messenger or on email. Also, be aware that if 2GO said it arrived at the delivery hub but is waiting for final delivery, then that appears to mean that it is waiting for you to pick it up.

We actually got a 2nd email, 2 days later with a similar "out for delivery" message, but formatted slightly differently. It was probably about 4 days from the original email that we got call that it is ready for pickup. But our delivery location was just 2.5 hours from Manila. Your location will surely take 2-4 days longer. I don't know how you tracked it, because when I click on track and trace from their web page, the server is down. https://supplychain.2go.com.ph/CustomerSupport/tools/tracking.asp But I was able to track it both by sending email the 2go support line (expresssupport@2go.com.ph) and by sending them a message on messenger (to their fb page). They replied overnight. About a few days after we picked up the passport, the passport status in the CEAC webpage where we did the DS-160 was updated to "picked up". The delivery address there was not updated to the 2GO address.

Isn't this normal and how it works? I did some house improvements at my house, finished a basement, added HW floors, etc etc ... and my tax bill increased when the appraisers came out and appraised it at a higher value.

We had the exact same thing happen a few weeks ago with my mother-in-law's passport. Its so frustrating that their new courier doesn't deliver to remote addresses! I even emailed the 2GO support line several times prior to ask if the address is deliverable and they didn't answer. And was unable to reach them by phone. In anycase, after getting that same message from VFS, we chose a 2GO facility. But the 2GO location in the official new list was actually closed 2 years ago. What a mess!! I emailed VFS to ask about the fact that the 2GO was closed and moved to a new address, if that would be acceptable location to pick it up. They did not reply. Rather than risk using the new address of them, we chose a different 2GO office that was still open and listed in the official list of supported premium pick up locations. Then when we paid the 600php delivery fee we used the 2GO address .. we put "first and last name followed by c/o 2GO and the address of the 2GO office. I did not want to risk using the home address .. I wanted to make sure they sent it to the right place! After doing that and emailing the VFS that we chose that office and sent them the receipt, we got 2 emails saying the passport is out for delivery but do no pick it up until the tracking shows it is delivered. However, the 2GO tracking website is down and was unable to track it or reach by phone. Emailed them and they replied it is in transit and waiting for final delivery. But the same day 2GO did called that it has arrived, and my brother-in-law picked it up with an authorization letter. Great new carrier ....

Have you even met in person or know who your fiancee will be? (A lot of Indian co-workers here go back and meet with several eligible choices chosen by their parents)

File a dispute with your credit card company.

Yup, all we sent was the marriage certificate and maybe some wedding photos. You just arrived from overseas, and just got married. Unless it looks like fraud for some reason, that's all you need. It is for the ROC, I-751, that you need all the evidence to show that you are living as husband and wife. Keep in mind to plan ahead for doing a joint lease or joint house title, because that is one of the keys. and comingling the finances.

Since you asked .. I'm giving my opinion .... If the "differences" broke you up getting married while at the most exciting and easiest honeymoon period, then most likely the "love" (if not fear of no green card, or just the feel of losing something), is not going to be enough to handle years and years, if not even a month, of differences that affect and gnaw away at your everyday life, self-esteem, building an every increasing amount of resentment and hatred, .. it probably won't even be long enough to file the I-751. You're just delaying the inevitable and going to cause a lot of pain. So I think the best thing is to find a more compatible partner .. because the "love" is not going to last long given your differences.

When I had my ICE, I would be filling it up every 3 - 4 days. I didn't find it inconvenient, but I hated fueling it in the winter time. Yup, taking a road trip will take longer, that can be a show stopper if you don't like to take breaks. But I enjoy using the gas savings on nice restaurants when I stop. Countless co-workers have EV's. I never ever heard any of them saying their car is superior than someone else's ICE. But everyone does tout, praises, and love the advantages that it offers them, which is not the same as saying they are better than ICE... Everyone I know certainly understands an EV is not right or better for everyone. In fact for me, I got my daughter an ICE car, but my Wife and I love our Tesla's. I can't live without the self-driving, but that is not specific to an EV. Its the same deal with everyone saying discussing one brand or model vs another, EV or not. Everyone has their own preference without claiming their car is better than someone else's. Though it does seem that BMW owners at work say their car is better than the Audi owners. and vice versa, lol .. so maybe I'm not exactly correct! lol But in my experience, the satisfaction and subsequent loyalty to an EV is very high .. higher than owning any other car. For the general public, without the ability the charge the car at home, and other requirements, it certainly is still a niche market ... no one I heard is saying that everyone should buy an EV or its better, its just better for their own needs .. That wouldn't make any sense.

Same, I bought my 2nd Tesla just before it endedd. Got Federal tax credit, State EV credit, and a nice local EV tax credit. Electricity in my town is municipal, only about 0.14/KW or something like that. All the surrounds towns are much more though. With all the mileage I drive everyday, zero maintenance except for tires, and a good resale when I traded my old one in, the car practically pays for itself. I have a 50A circuit for charging 2 Teslas .. That guy says 75A doesn't know what he is talking about. Now, when I drive by a gas station, they feel so foreign to me .. The thought of pumping gas turns me off ...

It is very common for Filipinos to move their maiden name to their middle name when getting married. My Wife did it, as well as all the other Filipinos we know. Never heard of any issues. There was no issue in getting the green card., driver's license, and social security card all with the new middle and last name. I believe any combination of your old name and new last name is fine. Its not like you are changing it to an arbitrary name. I was even able to swap my middle and first name at the social security office with my marriage certificate. For USCIS purposes, there is no need to do a name change in your original Country. If your passport will not expire before you get your citizenship, then just use your old passport when traveling but be sure the airline tickets will match your passport name. Then when you become a citizen your new passport will have your new name. Disclaimer: I don't know if there any odd situations with Canadian laws if you every need to do any government business. But in our case, plenty of people don't go through the hassle of changing their legal name in the Philippines, while still using their new married name in the USA. But again, Canadian laws can be different.

Going back to the original topic of mother-in-law from the Philippines ... Thanks, you were right, My mother-in-law in the Philippines just got her tourist visa too,

So why don't you take your Wife for a visit to your family, and submit lots of proof, while they process the 221-g?
