Hello! -Why are you looking for her old resident permit? or copies of her old resident permit? Does the US Embassy ask you those? -if her old and expired passport were lost, why are you looking for it? - If you are not in the said country, why are you looking for it? - the embassy does not need those, correct? the only thing that you would worry if you did something back there and you are not sure if it has recorded. I just don't know why? Maybe let others chime in with regards to this. Peace!

HI! DONT QUOTE ME ON THIS, BUT THIS IS WHAT I GOT FROM SIMPLY TYPING IT ONLINE. AND YOU RE NOT AN IMMIGRANT YET. SO OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL NOT HAVE THAT LETTER. NG There is no NVC welcome letter for a K1, the only communication you will receive from NVC is an email stating that the petition is in transit to the consulate. Since you have been provided the case number and the case is in READY status then proceed.

Aside from studying those, make sure to know your governor. mayor. state representatives and senators.

OfCourse, you have to bring all the documents that you uploaded and was asked at NVC and because some documents needed to be renewed like police certificate or any other documents that was asked. You must download it first then bring it on the day of interview.

You must always download any documents before the interview. At CEAC you just add another document and put the title to it just like how download the rest of the documents. Ty. NG

I would suggest re-applying with proof of ties in the Philippines. If not, then apply an immigrant visa, as it is quick and no hassle, as she gets in as a legal permanent resident who can work immediately if able and willing.

My apology for a lot of typos etc. Sorry my brother both had chest x-ray and blood drawn. All was clear! it so annoying to know that medical was cleared and to have the annotation is confusing and a big hassle.

reference: Chapter 2 - Medical Examination and Vaccination Record | USCIS A. Purpose of the Medical Examination and Vaccination Report The results of the medical examination and vaccination record determine whether an applicant is inadmissible on health-related grounds. The medical examination documentation indicates whether the applicant has either a Class A or Class B medical condition and the vaccination record shows whether the applicant has complied with all vaccination requirements. B. Class A and B Conditions and Their Impact on Admissibility Class A and B conditions are defined in Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)regulations.[1] Class A conditions are medical conditions that render a person inadmissible and ineligible for a visa or adjustment of status.[2] A Class A medical condition is a: Communicable disease of public health significance per HHS regulation; A failure to present documentation of having received vaccinations against vaccine-preventable diseases;[3] Present or past physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior or harmful behavior that is likely to recur; and Drug abuse or addiction. Class B conditions are defined as physical or mental health conditions, diseases, or disability serious in degree or permanent in nature.[4] This may be a medical condition that, although not rendering an applicant inadmissible, represents a departure from normal health or well-being that may be significant enough to: Interfere with the applicant’s ability to care for himself or herself, to attend school, or to work; or Require extensive medical treatment or institutionalization in the future. C. Completion of a Medical Examination When a medical examination is required to determine the applicant’s admissibility, the person must be examined by a physician who is designated to perform this examination. By statute, any medical officer in the U.S. Public Health Service may conduct the examination. However, this rarely occurs. Most medical examinations are conducted by a physician designated as a civil surgeon by USCIS[5] or designated as a panel physician abroad by the U.S. Department of State (DOS). Civil surgeons complete medical examinations for applicants in the United States, while panel physicians complete medical examinations for immigrant visa and refugee applicants seeking immigration benefits from outside the United States.

Greetings! 1. One of my siblings had the same annotations on his passport, at first, I did not really pay attention or even looked at it until he came here. Why? because I thought that you would not even be issued with visa and later on a green card when you are not cleared with your medical. 2. In the Philippines, there is always that thing that needed for further verification called sputum test that one should have when they think that your x-ray is questionable, so, at the back of my mind I seriously thought that my brother really had something, another delay and another hassle especially when you are not from the area, meaning additional days for hotel stay and another flight and to not mention the setting up for another visa interview appointment. I was worried. 3. So, he followed the rules, had sputum test and culture was taken and was cleared, no tb or anything, Thanks God! 4. So, if he was cleared, then why does his passport still had the annotations, very confusing! 5. He flew in with no problem. 6. Then, we received a call from our state's depart of health, I spoke with the nurse, and I asked her of what's going on, she told me that she don't really know why but thought it was about the annotations on his passport, and she is not sure but just doing their part. 7. She then told me that my brother must for cheat x ray and blood test. 8. They should require blood test (IGRA TEST) in the country of origin instead. 9. So, we went to the lab with the order to have blood test and the result was directly sent to state's health department. 10. There were two appointments. one for the lab and one to see the health department's doctor. 11. On the day of his appointment, we were both nervous, I went with him as I am very curious. The doctor both read the results. Both were negative and was cleared. Thanks, God! 12. I also made sure to get copies of the results and a statement from the doctor for future use. 13. WHAT A HASSLE! 14. The total bill was $774.54, but only paid the first bill was $10.00 and the second was $193.63, I was told that it is free at the beginning.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Greetings! Last year, both my siblings had the same email, an expedited approval, but later on, we found out that it is just expedited approval to catch up interview delays. We were very happy. Just make sure to have all documents ready and please make sure to update documents that needed to be renewed ex. NBI clearance etc. prior to her interview. Also, if you add a new document, always download all new or updated or additional documents to CEAC to avoid the hassle during her interview. Goodluck! all documents must be ready by now. schedule all those finger printing, interview and her medical and vaccination appointment. ALL THE BEST! Stacey

is that the document form from LBC?

Greetings! Last year, we had the same thing for my two brothers (F2B), expedited, I think this is due to caught up with the backlog. We were so happy but then again worried about the appointments as most were fully booked, but anyways I helped them by scheduling their appointments. I made sure that everything was ready and the only thing I did was book for appointments. Every day, and every two hours, I waited for available schedules as some cancel etc. and I was able to do it on the third day, the embassy opened a lot more schedules esp. when someone cancel appointments. Just make sure to have their documents ready, and all nearly expired documents such NBI etc. are renewed. 2x2 photos etc. also if you have a new document, always download it on CEAC before their interview, otherwise it will be a hassle later as they will ask you to go our and download any new documents before the interview. so be wise and download it ahead. At this time, they had two appointments as finger printing is different from the interview at least that what I learned. 1. also I had appointment for medical.

REFERENCE: Chapter 3 - Spouses of U.S. Citizens Residing in the United States | USCIS Chapter 3 - Spouses of U.S. Citizens Residing in the United States Content navigation tabs Guidance Resources (13) Appendices (1) Updates (6) History (0) A. General Eligibility for Spouses Residing in the United States The spouse of a U.S. citizen who resides in the United States may be eligible for naturalization on the basis of his or her marriage.[1] The spouse must have continuously resided in the United States after becoming a lawful permanent resident (LPR) for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the naturalization application and must have lived in marital union with his or her citizen spouse for at least those 3 years. The spouse must establish that he or she meets the following criteria in order to qualify: Age 18 or older at the time of filing. LPR at the time of filing the naturalization application. Continue to be the spouse of the U.S. citizen up until the time the applicant takes the Oath of Allegiance. Living in marital union with the citizen spouse for at least 3 years preceding the time of filing the naturalization application (the citizen spouse must have been a U.S. citizen for those 3 years). Continuous residence in the United States as an LPR for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application and up to the time of naturalization. Physically present in the United States for at least 18 months (548 days) out of the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application. Living within the state or USCIS district with jurisdiction over the applicant’s place of residence for at least 3 months prior to the date of filing. Demonstrate an understanding of the English language, including an ability to read, write, and speak words in ordinary usage. Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history and principles and form of government of the United States (civics). Demonstrate good moral character for at least 3 years prior to filing the application until the time of naturalization. Attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution and well-disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States during all relevant periods under the law. The spouse of a U.S. citizen residing in the United States may also naturalize under the general naturalization provisions for applicants who have been LPRs for at least 5 years.[2] In addition, in some instances the spouse of a member of the U.S. armed forces applying pursuant to INA 319(a) or INA 316(a) may be eligible for any naturalization proceeding abroad, to include interviews, filings, oaths, ceremonies, or other proceedings relating to naturalization.[3] B. Living in Marital Union for Spouses Residing in the United States The spouse of a U.S. citizen residing in the United States must have been living in marital union with his or her citizen spouse for at least 3 years immediately preceding the time of filing the naturalization application. This provision requires that the spouse live in marital union with the citizen spouse during the entire period of 3 years before filing.[4] However, the statute does not require living in marital union for the period between the date of filing the application and the date of naturalization (date applicant takes the Oath of Allegiance). The corresponding regulation conflicts with the statute in stating that the spouse must have been living in marital union with his or her citizen spouse for at least 3 years at the time of the examination on the application, and not at the time of filing. USCIS follows the language of the statute in requiring living in marital union only up until the time of filing.[5] Accordingly, only the existence of a legally valid marriage is required from the date of filing the application until the time of the applicant’s naturalization.[6] A person who was a spouse subjected to battery or extreme cruelty by their citizen spouse is exempt from the marital union requirement.[7] C. 3 Years of Continuous Residence The spouse of a U.S. citizen residing in the United States must have continuously resided in the United States as an LPR for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of the filing the application and up to the time of the Oath of Allegiance. Continuous residence involves the applicant maintaining a permanent dwelling place in the United States for the required period of time. The residence is the applicant’s actual dwelling place regardless of his or her intentions to claim it as his or her residence.[8] D. 18 Months of Physical Presence The spouse must have been physically present in the United States for at least 18 months (548 days) out of the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application.[9] Physical presence refers to the number of days the applicant must physically be present in the United States during the statutory period up to the date of filing for naturalization.[10] E. 90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334) The spouse of a U.S. citizen filing for naturalization on the basis of his or her marriage may file the naturalization application up to 90 days before the date he or she would first meet the required 3-year period of continuous residence.[11] Although an applicant may file early and may be interviewed during that period, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has satisfied the required 3-year period of residence. All other requirements for naturalization must be met at the time of filing. USCIS calculates the early filing period by counting back 90 days from the day before the applicant would have first satisfied the continuous residence requirement for naturalization. For example, if the day the applicant would satisfy the 3-year continuous residence requirement for the first time is on June 10, 2010, USCIS will begin to calculate the 90-day early filing period from June 9, 2010. In cases where an applicant has filed early and the required 3-month period of residence in a state or service district falls within the required 3-year period of continuous residence, jurisdiction is based on the 3-month period immediately preceding the examination on the application (interview).[12] F. Eligibility for Persons Subjected to Battery or Extreme Cruelty 1. General Eligibility for Persons Subjected to Battery or Extreme Cruelty On October 28, 2000, Congress expanded the provision regarding naturalization based on marriage to a U.S. citizen for persons who reside in the United States. The amendments added that any person who obtained LPR status as the spouse, former spouse, or intended spouse[13] of a U.S. citizen who subjected him or her to battery or extreme cruelty may naturalize under this provision.[14] Specifically, the person must have obtained LPR status based on: An approved Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant (Form I-360) as the self-petitioning spouse of an abusive U.S. citizen; An approved Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant (Form I-360) as the self-petitioning spouse of an abusive LPR, if the abusive spouse naturalizes after the petition has been approved;[15] or Special rule cancellation of removal for battered spouses and children in cases where the applicant was the spouse, or intended spouse of a U.S. citizen, who subjected him or her to battery or extreme cruelty.[16] A person is also eligible for naturalization under the spousal naturalization provisions if he or she had the conditions on his or her residence removed based on: An approved battery or extreme cruelty waiver of the joint filing requirement for Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (Form I-751), for a conditional permanent resident, if the marriage was entered into in good faith and the spouse was subjected to battery or extreme cruelty by the petitioning citizen or LPR spouse.[17] 2. Exception to Marital Union and U.S. Citizenship Requirements for Spouses A person subjected to battery or extreme cruelty by his or her U.S. citizen spouse is exempt from the following naturalization requirements:[18] Married to the U.S. citizen spouse at the time of filing the naturalization application; Living in marital union with the citizen spouse for at least 3 years at the time of filing the naturalization application; and Applicant’s spouse has U.S. citizenship from the time of filing until the time the applicant takes the Oath of Allegiance.[19] The spouse must meet all other eligibility requirements for naturalization.[20] G. Application and Evidence 1. Application for Naturalization (Form N-400) To apply for naturalization, the applicant must submit an Application for Naturalization (Form N-400) in accordance with the form instructions and with the required fee.[21] The applicant should check the appropriate eligibility option on the naturalization application to indicate that he or she is applying on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen. 2. Evidence of Spouse’s United States Citizenship Under this provision, the burden is on the applicant to establish that he or she is married and living in marital union with a U.S. citizen.[22] A spouse of a U.S. citizen must submit with the application evidence to establish the U.S. citizenship of his or her spouse.[23] Evidence of U.S. citizenship may include: Certificate of birth in the United States; Department of State Consular Report of Birth Abroad (FS-240); Certificate of Citizenship; Certificate of Naturalization; and Valid and unexpired United States Passport. If an official civil record cannot be produced, secondary evidence may be accepted on a case-by-case basis. An officer has the right to request an original record if there is doubt as to the authenticity of the record.[24]

I guess I was confused since you mentioned that your mother will have an interview on January 6, 2024, and you mentioned that she needed to schedule her IV appointment before her interview. "Does anyone have a problem setting up schedule for IV appointments in the Philippines? I am getting frustrated as my mother's interview in on January 6, 2025. She already has her physical yesterday at St. Lukes, and we only need to schedule her IV appointment before her interview." I was confused since IV appointment is the same as her interview appointment. But after reading the FAQ attached, I think you only needed the appointment for VAC (visa application center) to have her photo and fingerprints taken, and only that and you do not need to change her embassy or interview appointment. please read below. Please correct me if I am a wrong. Ty! reference: FAQs on the New Visa Appointment System and Process - U.S. Embassy in the Philippines I received an appointment date from the National Visa Center (NVC). Do I need to schedule an appointment at the Visa Application Center (VAC) to have my photo and fingerprints taken? Yes, please schedule an appointment at the VAC for fingerprints and photos at this website . You must choose the “Appointment scheduled by NVC” category. Only schedule a VAC appointment – you do not need to make any changes to your Embassy appointment. If you do not come to the NVC-scheduled visa appointment at the Embassy, you will have to reschedule for two appointments: one at the VAC for the fingerprints and photos, and another appointment for the visa interview at the Embassy through the online appointment system . Please note that demand for appointments is high, and you may have to wait months or longer before appointments become available. You may contact the Customer Service Center for assistance in making this appointment.
