Did she get to you Benjamin? I pray so! St Lukes just sent the good results of her sputum form 8 weeks ago and we sent the embassy the couple required originals that they needed to meet the 221g request. Praying it is not still months, but It has been a couple years of pure hell and I expect nothing less at this point. The good news is that I have been able to visit here in the Philippines often and we have built a wonderful house that I love. I consider the Philippines my home, but want my wife to experience the US and meet my family for a bit. Godspeed!!

My Wife has to go back for sputum test in SLEC on the 6,7 & 8 January 2025, we are going to do the OFC on the 6th. The Doctor told her to go ahead with her CR 1 interview at the embassy later in January. Does anyone know if you can still do the interview, even if you have to do the sputum test still and wait for those results? Thank you, Dave

The chest Xray did not go well for our CR-1. The doctor informed us that we can still go to our Visa interview at Manila Embassy while waiting for the sputum test, is this true? We are still not sure that we have an appointment, we scheduled it on ustraveldocs, but still haven't received a confirmation and have tried their help phone line & email - to no avail.

Yes she can go to the interview my fiance had to do her interview back on Nov. 19th. Unfortunately the sputum tests takes about 2 months and we didn't get her results back until Jan. 3rd. She dropped off her passport and some documents on the 6th where they said it could take months to process. We are still waiting as of now

Sorry to be the one to give you that news it's been one heartbreak after another for us. Our Interview was 2 months ago and we are still not approved. I would recommend if you can wait to do your interview until after medical results are in to avoid the 221g do so. I don't know how it works to reschedule your interview though we did not do that but wish we had. I do not want to give you false information but I would look into it.
From what I'm seeing people are getting their visa a few days after the interview when they have everything and processing can take months if put on 221.

I finally had NVC accept my payment. I have my I-864 ready, but probably will not have my taxes squared away until next week. Can I file my I-864 now and send my taxes later, or do they need to be sent at the same time? Thank you, Dave & Joyce

I-130 (IR1) Approval...14 Months.
Stupid old question, for those that have received Philippine approval fairly recently, how long did it take for the physical and interview to happen after approval? Thanks

My Attorney friend asked the same question and absolutely not. When I went to the site for the bio screening, I asked that same question and the clerk said lately there have been a lot of similar bio screenings of petitioners and they all wondered why. I have nothing in my background to warrant that screening. Thank you for the response.

After 13 months and 1 month after I, the USA petitioner of my Philippine Wife, had to go do biometric screening. When I signed into my USCIS account, there is no notice or update. Has anyone else had this issue? When I received this message last month for my bio screening, it was immediately in my USCIS account. Thank you, Dave

Still waiting

Eddie, so sorry, I'm way more than pissed that our's is over a year with Nada. Pure torture, and your news is just more sulfuric acid in the womb. All the best -
I will try and be brief. My Philippine Wife was denied a tourist visa 2 years ago, reason: we are both Geodetic Engineers-Manila Embassy. Got Married filed I-130 Spousal 6/2023. My progress, like many, went down to 1 week 3 separate times, then jumped to months, then "your case is taking longer" for 4 months. At the year mark, one week ago, I was called in for Biometrics, at that time our "my progress" went to 3 months, three days later it went to 19 months. Has anybody else experienced this? I am very close to relocating to the Philippines, since I am blessed to be able to travel to the Philippines often and we now have a beautiful home there, but I really wanted for her to experience America and meet my family, but this disabled Veteran is losing all hope with the US immigration system.
