  1. Your post is a bit confusing, but the first thing to realize is that school requirements and immigration requirements are not the same. As mentioned above, if your DS-3025 is marked "complete" then there is a reasonable chance that you won't need anything else to satisfy USCIS. As for the school vaccines, that is what is confusing. First, I think you mean your daughter got Td, not Tdap, since Tdap includes pertussis. Why she would have gotten just Td is a mystery. I am also confused why the pharmacist thinks it is a problem to give a Tdap dose, since the recommended interval for dose 1 to dose 2 is only 4 weeks, and dose 2 to 3 is 6 months. I went through getting K-2 kids vaxxed for school a few years ago. We just took our DS-3025 (a copy of course) and had them add the new vaccines to that so they would all be listed together. As for chicken pox, I think your choices will be getting the vaccine or getting a titer to prove immunity. Nobody should be looking at pictures to confirm chicken pox history.
  2. The visa expiration is directly tied to the medical exam date. If her medical exam expires Jan 15th, that will also be the expiration date printed on her visa.
  3. Your quote means if you do not file either (one or both) of those forms simultaneously (concurrently) with your I-485 then you must wait for I-485 receipt number if you decide to file either of them later. You can file both or either one concurrently with your I-485.
  4. Texas only offers a divorce "verification letter" as an alternative to a full decree. It also specifically says the "letter" should not be used in place of a decree for legal matters. Maybe somebody from Texas will pop in and say they used the letter for ROM. Otherwise, I will be sending the full decree.
  5. Ok, good. As long as he provided proof of citizenship, the passport bio page isn't required. The passport bio page is one way of proving citizenship, but not the only way. As for your pictures, they are fine. The goal of evidence is to show that you were physically together within the last 2 years. Family meetings, subtitles, etc, are not required. His passport stamps, your joint boarding passes, and a couple of pictures should establish that you met. Relationship proof comes later, during the interview. The I-129F only requires evidence that you met.
  6. Petitioner must provide evidence of US citizenship, either by birth certificate, passport, or naturalization certificate. If none of those were included, I would expect an RFE.
  7. 1. Your fiancée is the beneficiary, not yourself. You would select "Another individual who is the beneficiary" 2. No end date is the correct selection. As already mentioned above, the I-134 and supporting evidence is hand-carried to the interview.
  8. If you would really like to save some money, believe the regulation you included in your first post that says you do not need another medical because you filed AOS within 1 year of your medical exam. The only way you would need another medical is if yours was lost or improperly filled out. RapidVisa would have no way of knowing if either of those apply. I'm in contact with some others that used RapidVisa for K1, and they also advised them to get a repeat medical for AOS, which they did not do, and had no problems. RapidVisa seems to still be going by the old rule that I-693 is only valid for 60 days from the date it was signed. That is not the case anymore.
  9. You should submit separate letters of intent, one from each of you. A signed, scanned copy from her would be best, but a photo will work if there are no better options. Just be sure it is clear and legible.
  10. 1. If you checked the SS card box on the I-765, I think I would just wait for it to arrive, plus, it will be in your married name (assuming you used it on I-765). Mine took a little under 3 months to arrive (from filing date), but only 3 weeks after they actually opened my package. 2. A repeat medical is almost certainly not needed if the vaccine worksheet was marked "complete." You did what you should have by sending the vaccine record. 3 & 4. Despite being in the military for 10 years, I have no answer for either of these.
  11. I'm not sure how she could "get crushed" in the divorce proceedings. I assume by that you mean financially. Presumably she is not wealthy, since attorney fees are a concern, and likely not even working here yet. Needing an attorney or not depends on if the divorce will be contested (by either party) or an agreed settlement. I would think an agreed settlement would be super easy to reach with just a 2-month marriage. For me personally, I would pay for the agreed-settlement divorce, fly her back home, and give her enough cash to get her life going again. That's assuming divorce is because of incompatibility, not if she did something egregious.
  12. Since it doesn't open until 9/28, I would think the new procedure will apply to those that do not yet have an existing interview already scheduled by that date. If you take their statement literally, "Applicants who have scheduled a visa interview before September 28 will not be affected by this change and should proceed directly to their appointment at the Embassy," the word "scheduled" should be omitted if it applied to the actual interview date, rather than the date it was scheduled. I guess we will find out in a few weeks!
  13. I'm dreading filing the ROM, just for the sheer volume of paperwork I have to send. Original plus 4 copies... just my divorce decree plus 4 copies is 270 pages. By the time I add the rest of the originals plus 4 copies, I'll be well over 300 pages.
  14. In case you haven't found it yet, there is a forum specifically for the Philippines that will contain answers to many of your questions: Philippines - VisaJourney
  15. All required vaccinations are provided when the medical exam is completed and are included in the exam fee. It is not unusual to not have vaccination records in the Philippines. Further, only the first dose of any vaccine that is given in a series is required. Other than getting vaccines that she has already had, but has no proof of, there is no problem at all.
  16. There are obviously problems that nobody reading this will fully understand, but this statement stood out to me. Of course you will be the one to do all of that. He knows nothing about your area, where to go, what to do, how to get there. You are 100% his guide to his new life. It should be your pleasure to suggest new places to go and to be excited to show him around. You should have a serious talk about expectations from each other. Ideally, you would have had that discussion long before marriage. If you did have that discussion previously, then discuss what is different now compared to those expectations. His (or your) expectations may not be realistic. Although others have done it, I would never even think of bringing a K-1 here to live with my parents. If I cannot support myself, I am certain I cannot support a spouse that cannot work for several months. Isolation is not the answer, for either of you. From your description, it sounds like he is used to being an independent man who is really struggling with being a "kept" man, incapable of even going to the store without assistance and feeling guilty eating food that he cannot provide. Put yourself in his shoes. I would not be happy in that situation at all. If you feel "alone" when living with your parents, imagine how he feels. You are his caretaker for at least the next several months. Marriage can be difficult. Moving to another country is difficult. Combining them will always be difficult. It's truly easy to settle a relationship stand-off. One of you has to swallow your pride and decide your relationship is more important than arguing over petty things. The other partner will follow your lead.
  17. Sending over $1K USD can sometimes trigger the requirement for additional identification or answering questions about the sender. It really depends on which location it is picked up. It's quite easy to avoid the potential problem by breaking it up into smaller amounts. Since your timeline is blank, it is impossible to know if you are a LPR Filipino, a USC, a dual-citizen, or something else that I cannot guess. Since you say "passport card" I will assume you are a USC. If so, then the only identification WU requires is your passport. USCs are not expected to have any form of Filipino ID unless you live in the Philippines. Please complete your timeline if you want to receive useful responses.
  18. Try going here: US Embassy & USCIS Office Reviews (visajourney.com) Look above the "select consulate" drop down box. Mine has an "edit previous entry" option there. It opens the previous entry for editing. I'm not sure you can completely delete it, but you can change the content.
  19. It's the way they list the events on USCIS account. Step 2 is biometrics Step 3 is interview (if required) Step 4 is decision
  20. Received SS card today. Also received notification that EAD card has been produced.
  21. I've seen this claim mentioned several times recently. CFO can ask for anything, but a petitioner police report would be extremely rare. I would not go through the effort to obtain one. I have been in touch with several people that have gone through CFO recently and it was not requested. I have never seen anything from a person that actually had to present a petitioner police report at CFO, only some from people that say "somebody said we need one." I would categorize it as a Philippine rumor.
  22. You do not need to send her birth certificate with the I-129f. She will need an original eventually, but not until interview time. Her passport is not needed now either. That also comes later. You can print the boarding passes. No need to send original boarding passes. Print the digital boarding pass and include it as well. Letters of Intent do not need a specific address on them. United States Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is fine for the address on the letters. Go to a local photo shop and get a dozen passport style pics of her and a few of you too. It's super cheap there and you will need them. Leave half of hers with her. Take the rest of hers with you as well as yours. Review the I-129f with her. Have her write down her personal information that you do not know, like address and work history, as well as her parents' information. It is much easier to get that information in person rather than trying to do it over the phone or messaging.
  23. EAD was approved this morning, 2 days after biometrics.
  24. Completed biometrics today. Case status changed to "actively being reviewed."
