    The original is also printed on very heavy weight paper, more than the typical white paper from most copy machines

    Good luck they didn't simply decide to fire them all and use AI agents instead 🥲

    Wow, today, we just received a 2nd I-757 48-month extension notice a couple weeks after biometrics (more than a month after we received the original one). The only difference between the 2 copies, is the 2nd one corrects the amount paid from $750 to $700. Anyone else get this 2nd one?

    Only because you asked about "sabotaging", If they already entered the USA, then maybe a well crafted letter (better to ask an Attorney to do it) to USCIS to make their future N-400 citizenship application more challenging, and who knows given how aggressive and the quotas that ICE has, maybe a letter to them too. But if they haven't entered USA yet, maybe do a shotgun approach to notify CBP, USCIS, NVC, embassy, and maybe your congressman (to tip off CBP in addition to for you) ASAP in hopes that something might stick. Maybe even ICE. But as others have said, its difficult to do much if they already entered the USA .. but it won't hurt to give the above a shot .. And contact a good divorce attorney!

    We filed online about a week after you, and received the receipt notice both online and in the email about 2+ weeks after that (don't remember exactly), then received a biometrics appointment letter for 3 weeks out, which we just finished last week.

    The fact that are you going to the Philippines first, doesn't change your Chinese visa requirements. There are many visa agencies that can help you apply so you don't need to go to the Chinese embassy yourself. Didn't you do a google search and check the Chinese embassy's in USA website for instructions?

    To answer your question, only the CFO will care about the ROM. Ideally you would present the PSA marriage certificate which you can get a few months after you get the ROM. But if that doesn't come in time, I have heard people saying the CFO will accept the ROM by itself. But the CFO process has a lot of changing variables. Note, these days you will also need to get your FBI identity check (aka rap sheet) for the CFO. The CFO is being overly cautious due to the abuse, murder, etc.. that some Filipinas experienced.

    As I've experienced, to reduce the risk that they'll find out sooner than later, make sure you don't have any social media profiles that reveal your relationship, even under a fake name. With all the friends of friends, and "profile suggestion to friend based on contact lists", there isn't any privacy.

    That would be very nice to come in on an IR-1 instead of a CR-1. Given how slow the Philippines can be in giving you your PSA, that may be a good plan, even if you needed to stretch it out a few months.

    In about ~3 years from now, when you file the I-751 90 days before her 2 year green card expires, then you should change the house to joint names. I know someone who was rejected because they didn't do that. But after they did, they got it approved. For myself, I changed the house and car to joint names to assure everything goes smoothly for the I-751. You could also do a postnup if you feel uncomfortable it or move it into a trust later. As far as loosing ownership rights, It really doesn't matter much in my State due to marital and estate/inheritance laws that override wills and such,. unless its in a irrevocable trust.

    BTW, I am a USC and was able to open a bank account in the Philippines from the USA, without needing to even step foot in the Philippines. all without an ACR card, and not even married at the time. The bank even sent me by FEDEX the security dongle and ATM cards. This was all free too. The catch is that it was a non-resident account with a lot of restrictions. But it is perfect to do instant transfer to it from USA, and then transfer money elsewhere in the Philippines using pesonet. Its not allowed to do the reverse, unless its USD. LOL, almost like a one-way account. I like that I can get a better exchange rate than using WU or Xoom, and the safety net that it provides when I travel there. The account will lend me upto $10K in emergency money even if my balance is near zero.

    You have way more than enough evidence that your marriage is legit and eligible for the CR-1. It is during the I-751 removal of conditions, to change her green card from a 2 year one to a 10 year one when you need to have the stronger evidence, such as a joint lease or home title, joint bank accounts and so forth, they don't expect you to have that at this point. It will be hard for you to get a joint bank account in the Philippines since you are a non-resident. A non-resident account is very restricted, almost useless

    If you don't trust her, then for sure you should email the embassy (since its in their hands now) to let them know you are withdrawing. Otherwise, what I had done, was to do nothing. That caused the I-129F petition to expire at the embassy, which in turn caused the embassy to send it back to USCIS. This did not have any affect on my subsequent K-1.
