That is correct. Note, she will need to wait about 24 hours for the receipt to be active, despite they say "4 hours". The next available date is currently Dec 12, aside from random cancellations. Maybe when you get your receipt active t will be Dec 19. But cancellations keep popping up for an earlier date. Looks like her medical is on the same day as my fiancée too. I am guessing, but I assume it is probably OK that you booked your medical already, as lomg as you have your interview appointment letter to show them at the medical.

I used a paralegal agency which specializes in Philippine K-1 and CR-1 cases, and literally does thousands of them. They were priceless, invaluable, and I think saved me from getting denied, and prevented my case from delayed at the USCIS and embassy level for multiple different reasons due to their experience. They also saved me countless hours researching, and not getting caught up in a lot of misleading or incorrect info on the internet, and they greatly simplified what I would have submitted on my own. They were $600 for the I-129F or CR-1, including unlimited assistance and instructions to the embassy interview. For the AOS, they also will charge $600. That includes the EAP and AP. They did such a professional job, in all facets of my complicate case. I had also consulted a lawyer, and he gave me some bad advice, and I followed what the agency said to do and had no issues.

Did they allow your wife to go in with you? And what was his excuses for not being able to lift a finger and either check in their computer, call over to the visa processing department, or to be able to put in a help ticket to get more info and then email you back? Seems absurd he couldn't or wouldn't do anything at all for you.

Hence my points. (1) For humanitarian reasons, you must show USICIS that is USC has tried every avenue possible, seeing top medical professionals, but only his mother and you have been able to help his severe needs. With his mother out of the picture, he is in severe and urgent danger without you. You would need letters from the doctors to prove all of that. Furthermore, he is going to lose his job and be penniless, on public support, homeless, etc.. and urgently needs you. But of course, you would need to absolutely prove this with letters from doctors, and the such. Just making up a tragic story is not going to be enough, they get these requests in everyday, and they all get denied unless you can prove an serious urgent/emergency that will result in grave injury and/or severe financial loss. But based on what you said, this is not the case.He's not in the hospital dying, or something .. he just has a chronic condition, he is currently working, etc .. there are many people with disabilities or serious medical needs, and they are denied an expedite unless it is a life threatening urgent need or a very serious major financial issue, Neither really seems to be the case. I would consult a lawyer as I don;t know if any of this could come back to bite you when it gets to the embassy level.

The CO is legally required to assume he plans to immigrate unless he is convinced otherwise. He doesn't care about his docs and letters and doesn't have time to review them. They are all easy to fake. He has no chance to get a B1/B2 unless there is a significant change in circumstances. Maybe a better job, inheriting the house, etc... but just one of those probably won't be enough given what you said.

As crazy cat said, you'd be highly recommended to let a professional place do it. I went to a new CVS, and they were training someone, and had a small camera. shaking it, etc... I had to walk out on them. I suggested they don't try to train their employees on real customers, the passport photo is important. I went to the other CVS, they had a better camera, and they let me see the photo first on the digital display. The were will to retake it until I was satisfied. They did a great job, as well as Walgreens for another case.

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.

Do you mean you made an appointment with the US Citizens's Services department in the Embassy? I very strongly doubt they will or can give you any info about your case, and they probably couldn't even if they wanted to since they would need a release from your fiancée. . Or did you somehow manage to magically make an appointment with the VISA department there? Just imagine if it was possible to go in chat with them about your 221g, everyone would be doing it. They are not going to open that door.

A protection order is not really a criminal charge, although it can be associate with a criminal or civil case A protection order is often a restraining order, which orders a person to stay away and do not make any contract with the person requesting the order. Usually they are abusing or harassing someone and the victim requests the court to order a restraining order to keep them away. They probably just need a copy of the protection order from the court, since there is no arrest record to go with it. Typically you should only send them what they ask for, so you don't need to send a corrected I-129F. For the new drug charge, I don't think a court "no records found" would be adequate. Seems like you need a police report saying there were no charges filed. You really need some paperwork to show there is no pending case and no charges were filed, otherwise I don't think its a good idea to volunteer this new arrest to them. But it does seem like a good idea to provide it if you can provide the paperwork to also prove no charges are filed since it is now on his FBI report. You did nothing wrong as there is no rule that I know of that requires you to update them, but they may ask you at the embassy if he has any criminal convictions, or even ask about the arrest, so you should be prepared to show no charges were filed for the embassy interview. Disclaimer, this is NOT legal advice. For this issue, you need to consult a couple of very experienced lawyers on this. Be careful, many immigration lawyers will provide you with incorrect info.

What evidence did you submit?

Check if you entered your passport number in another location in the DS260 or in your profile, then check if it matches the passport number that you are trying to sign the DS260 with. It seems like there is a mismatch.

That makes sense since I believe ustraveldocs is an separate agency that the embassy contracts with. Not sure if they are co-located in the embassy or not. If they told you it is under admin review, then thats your answer. Something triggered it, and they are not going to tell you so you can't interfere.

You must have called ustraveldocs, .. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-main-contactus.asp The NVC is in NH

you are correct. My other comments were regarding a tourist CFO not the K1 CFO. A tourist CFO is when you want to travel with your fiancé as a tourist to another country even though that she will return back to the Philippines after the trip, for example, if you wanted to meet in Canada while waiting for the K1 visa. at the end of this month a tourist CFO is no longer needed if you want to travel with your fiancée, but the CFO is still needed if she js traveling on a K1 visa

Congratulations!!!!!

Did you have the Utah marriage today? How did it go?
