St. Luke's is pretty accommodating... As long as her SLEC appointment confirmation page, passport and DS-160 confirmation page match on the name, I really don't see them giving her a problem. NVC left off Jaycel's middle name on the K1-FTP letter and there was no issue. Let us know if that's not the case. As you said, nothing you can really do about it now that the embassy has the case.

They have the Manila embassy selected on the I-129F as where she will be applying for the visa We got everything via email from the Embassy in Manila

Great news!! 🎉🎉

No worries... Ours says the same thing and has since Jaycel's biometrics appointment on Dec. 26th.

Congrats!! 🎉🎉 That progress bar automatically marks that as complete for everyone after their biometrics. There have been reports of people with that being checked and then they get an interview notice, so that can be ignored.

Thanks for sharing your experience

FOIA request is probably your best bet

You should be able to apply for work but you can’t start and fill out your I-9 form until you have the EAD and SS card in hand

What @Crazy Cat said above is correct but if you want, once your petition is approved and USCIS indicates they have sent it to the Department of State, you can use their public inquiry form to request your case number and in that request, update your fiancée’s mailing address. In that same request, I would also ask them to be sure they have your correct email addresses and give them yours and your fiancée’s email addresses. They often get transposed incorrectly when the NVC enters the info from the I-129F into their systems. These are more important at this point since all of the communication from the NVC and embassy will come via email. Good luck and wish you both a speedy approval!

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉

That would be category (c)(9)

Woo Hoo!! 🎉🎉

My answer to this is a definite yes as they put this verbal warning and information into a database with your Passport and other identifying details (which is why you keep getting checked) so you should disclose it. My initial thought is Part 9., Item 15.b. - Have you EVER been arrested, cited, detained or confined by any law enforcement officer, military official (in the U.S. or elsewhere), or immigration official for any reason, or been charged with a crime or offense?

Yeah we knew about the in person requirement for applying... We're just going to make a little vacation out of it but we were hoping to avoid a 2nd trip to get the passport

Thank you so much! Unfortunately we will have to do it by mail as San Francisco is our consulate and we live in Denver. It's good to know she gets to keep the old one.

Yes this is the route we are going to go but our concern is going to the consulate in San Francisco and doing the name change, do they give back the old passport with a hole punched in it or something? If they don't, we don't want to do this until after Jaycel has her green card interview and/or gets approved without the interview because I think they like to see the passport with the K-1 visa that you entered the US with at the interview?

We filed our ROM in December and got back the signed, sealed form in about 10 days.... But we still can't get the transmittal details from the DFA 5 months later 😐

I don't link to other commercial websites here on VJ but if you Google I-485 statistics you'll find a bunch of sites

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉

As the others indicated above, you do NOT need a police clearance from the US. You asked for link/proof. See below: If you are 16 years of age or older, you must obtain a photocopy of a police certificate from all countries you have lived in using below criteria: If you ... AND you... THEN submit a police certificate from... Are 16 years old or older Lived in your country of nationality for more than 6 months at any time in your life Your country of nationality Are 16 years old or older Have lived in your country of current residence (if different from nationality) for more than 6 months Your country of current residence Have ever lived in another country for 12 months or more Were 16 years or older at the time you lived there The country where you used to live. Were arrested for any reason, regardless of how long you lived in that city or country, and no matter what age you were The city and/or country where you were arrested. Note: Present and former residents of the United States do NOT need to submit any U.S. police certificates. This is from https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html

That is a "Refusal" pending the submission of whatever is lacking that caused the refusal. In this case it will be refused pending submission of the completed medical exam at which time they will look at the completed medical and if everything else is good, then issue the visa

Here are a couple of posts from yesterday
