Hello! I think your mom needs to be member and have her own profile and add her timeline.

Greetings! YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT THINGS RELATED WITH THE CASE. reference: Returning Resident Determination - U.S. Embassy in the Philippines (usembassy.gov) JULY 11, 2022 If you are a permanent or conditional resident who has remained outside of the United States for longer than one year, or beyond the validity period of a Re-entry Permit, due to circumstances beyond your control, you will require a new immigrant visa to re-enter to the United States to resume permanent residence.

Hi! Please excuse the typos and all the errors.

Hell again, I really hope that you can secure an appointment, as you still have a lot of things to do after the interview. you have to attend PDOS (pre departure seminar), flight booking .in a month's time has less choices and prices are high. Pray that everything will be okay. Best regards, NG

Hello, My understanding is that all tourist visas should have an individual interview appointment. The immigrant on the other hand is different. For example, my sibling who is an F2B beneficiary, he has a choice for her daughter to accompany him with this trip or to join later. If he chooses the first one, then during the interview her daughter can join him, but if her daughter joins him on the later date then she has a different appointment interview date. Or for example my friend was hired as a nurse, her husband and children was with her during her interview. note: A minor child can be accompanied during the interview.

Thank you, Boiler! Sept. 1,2023 Friday, Philippines time- Visa interview appointment, refused and was asked to produce a proof of petitioner's naturalization certificate or US passport. (Confused as the applicant is as an F2B beneficiary and the petitioner is still a green card holder, so there is no way that we can produce the only document that they are asking. Sept. 2, 2023, Saturday Philippine time - Wrote a letter explaining the situation back to the US embassy along with a copy of the refusal letter, original passport, and a copy of the petitioner's legal permanent resident, and that submission form per instructions. Sept. 3, 2023, Sunday Sept. 4, 2023, Monday (Holiday. Labor Day) Sept. 5, 2023, Tuesday LBC parcel enroute. Sept. 6, 2023, Wednesday LBC parcel received. Sept 7, 2023, Thursday CEAC visa status was updated to ISSUED. note: I am very happy when I saw that the status is changed issued, am right of thinking that he is going to receive his visa soon? I hope. I also was happy that it did not wait that longer for the status to be updated as it was not really our fault.

Greetings! Last month we sent documents from Michigan to Cebu, $240.00 via FedEx for five days, make sure to choose the one with the date of the expected arrival as they will ask you to choose, the second one is that they do not know the specific arrival date and I guess the difference was only $20,00, So we choose the first one, it was a little heavier because aside form affidavit it has all the other financial documents good for two people. It arrived on the date it says and instead of under 4 pm it came at 11: am. So I was happy with it. With LBC i have not tried that at all. And this my second time using FedEx.

Congratulations! aside from those questions, please make sure to have him know your Senator, State representative, Governor and lets just add your mayor as well. Goodluck!

Hello, I think she probably just have a sputum test for three days, but even if the result is s negative, the collected sputum will still be cultured. This is just my understanding. Once cleared they may now proceed to vaccination to complete the medical. If the NVC scheduled the medical when you are hit with this test then all you do is inform the embassy that you're okay with the medical then they reschedule your interview, however, if you are the one scheduling for the interview like many expedited applicants then you are to reschedule your interview. It's bad because it all would depend on if there are slots available. I just wish US Embassy will secure a slot for those who are undergoing medical set back like sputum testing to avoid redoing medical. Unless you have to undergo the six months treatment then there is nothing that you can do but redo your medical. Nilaga, please check every two hours online for possible availability not just every day. And i am also hoping that by now you already sent a message to the embassy using the embassy's inquiry page.

HI! While thinking about my brothers interview yesterday, of why a consul will ask for something that it can never found in the documents, perhaps she is probably thinking that my mother is already a US citizen and that my brother retained his F2B status, but this is not the case. It is just unfair that all the documents a=were complete and the consul still is looking for something that is not even applicable to the case. So, responded with a letter o explanation that petitioner is still a legal permanent resident and attaching it with a copy of the petitioner's green card copy. It frustrating because even this document was uploaded and physically was brought during interview. I hope that they will correct this and released the visa.

When the embassy will have your case, you can contact them and ask to reopen CEAC then you can update anything that you needed. Just make sure to sign and submit and have a new DS260 confirmation page.

It is under F2B nothing else.

Oh, how I wish that I can upload the letterer, I tried to make it smaller, but it is still more than the capacity allowed. Maybe i ll break it into two.

Hello Boiler, my mom petitioned my siblings, and they are under F2B category.

Anyone have thoughts on this, is very appreciated. Thanks! In the letter attached (221 letter), it mentions to do the following. 1. Plese scan all the documents marked with an asterisk into the appropriate category level through CEAC and submit original documents, but there is nothing under with an asterisk? 2. Please submit all the documents marked below and your passport. so, I am assuming the one with a checked mark which is a proof petitioner's naturalization (naturalization certificate or US passport copy, but how can we do that when the petitioner is green card holder, that is why this petition is F2B? Anyone, have thoughts about this, do you think a consul can make a mistake? Am I just going to just submit a letter explaining that the petitioner is not a Us citizen and attached a copy of her green card? or perhaps attached also a copy of the joint sponsor's proof of citizenship if they made a mistake? What is frustrating is that all of these updated documents are uploaded and submitted per instructions, and although it is not under the joint sponsors name because they never added the joint sponsors name even ifi requested four times. Anyone? It is confusing.

It is very frustrating that the missing document that they asked is a proof of the petitioner's citizenship when the visa category is F2B (son /daughter of a legal permanent resident over 21 years old) which simply means that the petitioner is not a US citizen. Her green card copy was uploaded on CEAC and even was carried physically. Any thoughts on this?

Hello! reference: Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA (uscis.gov) Here is a link for AOS instructions, At the last page of this instructions, page 17, you can find what you are looking for. Best of Luck, NG "For U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals, a copy of your birth certificate, passport, or certificate of naturalization or citizenship."

Hello CFS, Here is link that may help you with your case. reference:

Jake, please open this link related to your question above. reference:

Jake, Just do your best, in this question I am not sure in Manila. but two weeks ago, when my brother and niece were queueing at PSA it was announced that CENOMAR will be released in two days but surprisingly it was released right away, then the week after, my other brother went to get his, it was released the following day, so please go their early then maybe talk to the supervisor with the urgency and perhaps bring your appointment letter as proof. at least you try.

Hello Jake! I think so, as I read from previous that some were just asked to go out and look for a computer to upload it and some even were simply asked to request via PSA that will be sent directly to the embassy. (not seen the procedure of how this is done) Just make sure to bring updated documents if in in case you could not upload it. note: Upload it as it only takes seconds rather than waiting for 30 to 60 days administrative processing.

Jake, Please plan to renew prior to your interview and also upload it on CEAC. Ty, BG As for my siblings. They have the following updated CENOMAR, NBI, 2X2 PHOTOS ALL ARE UPLOADED ON CEAC. GOODLUCK! NG note: and yes Sept 27, 2022, is the date that it was issued.

If you made that mistake by missing it, you simply correct it. When the case is at the embassy, at the CEAC summary page there is a note that if you need to update information you can email the embassy to let them know asap and they will open the CEAC back for you to update any information that you needed to update then you hit submit. just make sure to print again the DS-260 confirmation page.

What about your accounting license?
