You can look up the acceptable reasons for an expedite, and you would need to address those allowed categories specifically. I believe one is humanitarian. It seems like a very weak case. Another one is financial loss. You would need some strong and compelling proof that you are needed to prevent his loss of a job, and he has no other viable alternatives. That seems very difficult given what you said. A immigration lawyer might be better able to craft a expedite request, or the local congressman if you provide them with evidence. BTW, Are you sure he (and/or joint sponsor) meets the income requirements to sponsor you for a K-1?

Mine is in transit today too. For sure, you had a case number more than a week ago. If you want to know exactly when, you can figure out the exact date your case was created by subtracting 500 off the 3 digit number that follows 2023 in your case number. That is the Julian date of your NVC case creation date. Google "julian date" to translate that number to a month and day. Its probaly around 9/13

Thats weird, my case is Philippines too and my NOA2 was after yours, yet our case number was created 9/14. But still waiting for it to go to transit. The next Interview data at Manila is now 12/5

Your lawyer's advice sounds correct. The recognition of the US divorce decree for you is automatically recognized everywhere in the world, so you are free to marry. I wonder what would happen if you got divorced with your 2nd Filipino wife before the recognition of the foreign divorce decree by your 1st Filipino ex. Then the Filipino court would have 2 foreign divorce decree's to recognize with the same husband. I suppose the court could just annul the 2nd one if they had a problem with that. In anycase, I am sure you are going to have many replies here that will recommend you simply do the Utah zoom wedding. Then you will avoid the whole issue while your ex is getting the divorce recognized. I suggest getting a 2nd and 3rd opinion with lawyers in the Philippines, or even call the Philippine embassy to see if that would have an issue with issuing a ROM to you.

You can try to make a NVC Inquiry here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html You are the applicant. Just say "I no longer intend to marry the petitioner. Please revoke the approval." Either they will then notify the embassy to send the case back, or else they will advise you who to contact. It will take about 3 days before they reply to you. Let us know what they say,.

Whatever you do, stay calm, and don't let him trigger you in order for him to gather proof for a VAWA claim against you. And you shoudl start documenting everything, with a time and date log, to give to USCIS proof he is just scamming you. call the police if he gets violent, that will help your case that he is the violent one trying to scam you. collect all the proof, and send it to uscis. Divorces take a long time, so you better get that on file asap. Its way better if you can agree, and do an uncontested divorce.

Hi As explained above, all USCIS needs to see if that the protective order, and other related charges indicated on the police report were disposed of, and that it did not involve children. You are overthinking it, to be polite, writing a letter saying he is/was mentally ill and was assaulting his mother really doesn't seem like a good idea. The fact that you are aware of it and know the details is important but that is handled at the embassy interview. They will ask you if you are aware of it and will ask you to show them a copy of the paperwork For the new drug charge, that does not disqualify him, so if you can get documentation to prove that issue is disposed of, my guess is that you'd be preventing a future issue or delay by enclosing that too and stating this happened after you did the I-129F. Though, probably you'd be making a new delay as they would need to pull his FBI record again. But again, that's my guess, and you'd be advised to get real legal advice and consult an attorney with experience dealing in this rare specific sequence of events,

Your NBI is then 6 months old. Despite the fact that the embassy and the NBI says its valid for 12 months, the embassy does not like it to be more than 3 months old. When this happens the embassy takes a few weeks to request a new one themselves to be sent directly to them.

In that case, when she went for her interview, was the NBI clearance more than 3 months old?

For the lack of anything else at the moment, you should ask your Congressman to send them a request to expedite and to ask what is going on. This usually doesn't work, but its worth trying. Let us know how far you get with the Sept 22 appointment, it will be interesting to everyone here.
