VICTORIA PIKE

@jjj20 I really am thankful for your time on my post. I feel sorry for everything that happened to you too. It is really hard, We are really struggling to find out what is the best solution that can fix this Visa Situation. i wish you the best of luck on your situation too. If you have other information that can help me in just feel free to message me. Again, Thank you very much.

@jjj20 , I really appreciate your response. I just finished Sealing the Envelop containing all the Travel Stamps of all my old passports and I will send it tomorrow for US Embassy Consular Review. Also, i am not sure if my visa is sponsored by the government, I have a very old copy of DS2019 and its marked in the Skills List and I paid for my own program to an Agency. We are really looking at the Exceptional HArdships because last Dec 2022, My 2 years old son wa diagnosed with Autism and the Naval Base in Japan have limited services with this kind of situation but because I can't enter the US we are kind of stuck here. My son is very young and the Doctor doesnt want us to seperate, we just dont know if that is Exceptional reason though. My husband also is a little bit of hesitatnt to take that route because he read it takes long to process. I dont really trust my country giving a No Objection Letter, I just read that they have changed the Policy and they are not giving NOS for marrying a US citozen and Having a US Citizen child so I was really frustrated. The only thing we can think of as a solution if we dont get the visa is to do short trips to Philippines and just provide the Entry and Exit stamps to the Consul once I am done. Its very costly and we will be apart most of the time but if the Consulate can accept that how will I know and another problem I am 3 months pregnant so I have limitations of travelling. If you can give me more insight on how this Military family expedited their case I would highly appreciate it. thank you.

Hi Everyone I am new here and I am seeking for answers regarding my visa. I have read some answers but its a bit outdated. I am hoping someone will help me. i was a former J1 Intern from Philippines and I was subject to 2 year rule. When I was a student, 11 years ago I didnt mind the 2YRR. I dont know what my future will be and that I will get married to a US Citizen and have a family. After my Internship, I went home immediately and finished my College Degree and After 1 year, I left the country to work as an Overseas Contract Worker in BAhrain. And I have lived and worked there for 9 years before I met my Military husband . We got married and now currently stationed in JAPAN. I had an interview last FEB. 13, 2023 at the US Consulate Tokyo for my IR1 Visa, We've been married for 2 years. She didn't asked me much, she was just very persistent of looking at my old passport and to show her stamps after when I get back from the Philippines. She took my passport and told me I need to send all the pages of my passport via MAIL. Doing my research, I seemed to know the problem now, I was subject to 2 12 ( e) . I didnt know this will be a big issue until now. Here are my questions: 1. I have read that it is cumulative, I have stayed for 1 year straight in the Philippines and when I was working abroad I came home for vacation 4 times. I have added all my returns in the Philippines and they totalled to 1 year and 4 months 2 days. But this 4 months and 2 days vacations are of different years ( 2014, 2017, 2019 and 2022). are these vacations accepted to add to my 2 years even if they are far apart? 2. If just in case I get denied, can I still continue the petition and fullfill the remaining 8 months will that help. My husband and I was thinking of just me travelling to the Philippines every 2 months and come back to Japan to fullfill the 8 months remaining on my 2yrr. does it matter if I fulfill the 8 months now or its too late? 3. I have looked at applying for a waiver and i saw in the Philippines website that they no longer issue waiver for Filipinos marrying a US Citizen or having a child, Is there people here who did it anyway and was successful? we are so lost right now, we have waited for 2 years to get to this point only to face this issue. please hopefully someone will help me. thanks
