    Did your stepson receive the EAD also?

    Did you set up your my.uscis.gov account with an online access code that USCIS mailed to you?

    Just read a report of someone’s experience picking up their passport at the VAC and when you go in there, and check in before going to the 3rd floor, you pick up a stub with a number and there’s different ones for biometrics and pickup. They will not give you a stub unless you show them the email that your passport is ready for pickup

    Actually from some research I just did - It looks like once it says "Issued" it should be ready for pickup at the VAC and it also says she should receive an email. None of that is from an official site. I wish I could say definitively but when Jaycel got hers, it was before they opened the VAC and it was held for pickup at the LBC branch in the Mall of Asia and she had to wait for the email to tell her it was ready

    Yes, Jaycel's status went from "Application Received" to "Approved" to "Issued". They should then notify your fiancée at the email she used on her USTravelDocs portal account when her passport is available at the VAC for pickup. Keep us posted!

    You mean 6-10? That's good though... means someone is working on it.

    Also remember that Friday, June 6th was a national holiday there in observance of EIDUL ADHA and the consulate may have been closed.

    No... Things have slowed down at embassies it seems. When was the date of the last update on the CEAC Status Tracker?
  9. Edward and Jaycel
    This is the correct process for the K-1... This happened to Jaycel's status. What happens is that the embassy treats the K-1 visa process just like an immigrant visa all the way until the Consular Officer approves it. Then once it's approved, since it is still technically a nonimmigrant visa, it gets transferred to the nonimmigrant visa section to process and actually issue the visa. This means they received the approved DS-160 application from the Consular Officer and will begin their part of the process. Jaycel's status went from this to "Approved" in about a day and then to "Issued" 2 days after that. If she elected to pick up the visa at the VAC, once it's issued , it will then be sent to the VAC for pickup.

    Good Lord this is great advice so take notes OP! As a manager / hiring manager in my company, I am sometimes tasked with going to Chamber functions, industry "cons", etc. and let me tell you this would knock my socks off. I would absolutely remember this person if later on their CV landed on my desk or if they reached out to me for networking/job opening inquiries.

    Congrats!! 🎉 Great news!

    On Jaycel's resume, we put a little note after her summary on the first page that said this: "From June 2024 to Present I have been navigating the US immigration process so that I could join my American Husband here in the States. As of January 18, 2025 I have received my Employment Authorization Document (I-766) from USCIS and I am now authorized to work in the US without needing sponsorship." She got hired by the 2nd place she applied to. While it is not in her degree field, it is giving her work experience in the US, helps her practice her American English, and is giving her an income while she continues to search for jobs in her degree field. Hope this helps!

    Yes you will still fill out the physical address portion even though it hasn't changed

    This is a Philippine Bureau of Immigration requirement for all travelers entering and exiting the Philippines - Not a US Government program You do have to wait until 72 hours prior to your departure to make the registration I'm not sure if she can go on her mother's or if she needs her own (To be safe I would create one just for her) For the passport, you should use the US passport as that is what I imagine you booked the ticket under? I have heard that they will give you an opportunity to fix it but I'm not 100% on this as I've never had to fix mine either entering or leaving the Philippines

    If you can find a civil surgeon that will do just the vaccine assessment portion then you are eligible for that. There's even a checkbox on the first page of the I-693 that you check to indicate your eligibility for this. A lot of CS will not do it though I am finding out and likely we will end up having to get Jaycel the full physical. You cannot upload it because the CS office will return the I-693 to you in a sealed envelope to take with you to USCIS. Make sure you don't break the seal
  19. Edward and Jaycel
    Looks like they decided to postpone this because that notice is no longer up on the site and the option to choose the notification method for your monthly update is no longer in the settings section
  20. Edward and Jaycel
    If it says that they are ready to schedule the interview, that means they haven't scheduled it yet. You will get notified when they schedule it. Not everyone gets the "Ready to schedule" notification
  21. Edward and Jaycel
    If the Polio was marked "Not Age Appropriate" and she had her medical exam after 5/1/2024, that is incorrect and you should go make an appointment with a civil surgeon to get it done. Jaycel's friend had her interview this week and had the same blanket waiver for Polio and she got an RFE at the interview.
  22. Edward and Jaycel
    Wow... Congrats 🎉

    The other thing to keep in mind is that when folks are approved, the vast majority of them will come out of the "Interview Scheduled" category. If you look at the daily case status change updates for October, the one below from 06/03, still quite a few interviews being scheduled but the number of approvals is outpacing them by quite a bit and therefore showing a decrease in the number of cases being in the "Interview Scheduled" category overall... At least that's how it looks to me
  24. Edward and Jaycel
    Same here... Jaycel asks me all the time, "Did USCIS forget about me?" It breaks my heart
  25. Edward and Jaycel
    Did you do an email inquiry or did you use the public inquiry website? If you do the email inquiry the NVC will NOT give you case details. Make a public inquiry using the link below. Use the attachment function to attach your I-129F approval notice. Ask for your case number. Then in the same inquiry ask them to update your casefile with yours and your fiancé(e)'s email addresses and give them your current email addresses. This will ensure that they and the embassy has both of your email addresses correct in the file https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html
