Upon reaching the Hotel, I called my husband to share the good news and check CEAC right away. Only to find out that my status is "REFUSED" our joy turns quickly into misery and that's how it all began!!! (at least we got to celebrate for a minute LOL) 2022-09-21 Sent an e-Mail to SLEC asking if they already forwarded my medical result to USEM because my status is refused after a successful interview. 2022-09-22 Received a reply from SLEC confirming that they already transmitted my medical report to the US Embassy on September 12, 2022, however the CO uses different software to view the result, maybe that is the issue why sent medical health case reports take sometime or delay before it can be viewed by their system / Sent Inquiry via Immigrant Visa Inquiry Form asking why my status is refused after a successful Interview (attached SLEC reply) 2022-09-23 Received a reply from IVIF saying that my visa is refused under 221g for document submission as they await for my medical report to be reflected in their system. (my hunch was right!!!) 2022-09-27 Sent Immigrant Visa Inquiry Form again asking the USEM to request a hard copy from SLEC as they are the only one who can make a request as per SLEC (petitioner) *no reply >>>REFUSED Last Case Updated September 20-22-28-30<<< 2022-10-03 Sent Immigrant Visa Inquiry Form follow-up (petitioner) 2022-10-04 Received a reply from IVIF saying that they received the medical report on September 30 and referred the case to a CO and will notify the applicant once the review is completed. 2022-10-06 Sent Immigrant Visa Inquiry Form follow-up (petitioner) *no reply 2022-10-10 Sent an e-Mail to Congressman Frank Pallone and Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey asking for help to speed up the visa issuance. 2022-10-12 Sent Immigrant Visa Inquiry Form follow-up telling them that my medical will expire on December 7, 2022 and request for my case to be escalated (attached SLEC green slip with expiry date and immunization record) / I sent the inquiry around 10AM and when I checked my status at 6PM it's finally ISSUED >>>>REFUSED Last Case Updated October 4-5-12<<< >>>>ISSUED Last Case Updated October 12-13-14 2022-10-14 Received an e-mail from Manila IV Info about SSN and Green Card fee (petitioner and beneficiary) THANK YOU LORD!!!

Lifting Conditions Event Date CIS Office : National Benefits Center Date Filed : 2024-07-22 NOA Date : 2024-07-24 RFE(s) : Bio. Appt. : 2024-08-12 Interview Date : Approval / Denial Date : 2024-12-11 Approved : Yes Got I551 Stamp : Green Card Received : 2024-12-19 Comments : It took 140 days from the date USCIS received my application. The more proof you provide, the better—make sure it’s well-organized and that you follow the instructions on the USCIS website. I recommend attaching the tear-off portion (received along with your green card in the mail) to your application to help speed up the approval process. *I only realized this two months after submitting my packet, so I uploaded it as an additional document to my USCIS account.

Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : October 12, 2022 Embassy Review : They are all kind and friendly. From Ateng-Pinay on pre-screening (window 40), biometrics (window 50), Consular Officer (window 61) and specially to the last person who checked my Immigrant Visa Inquiry Form, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! (except to the lady on Data Entry who was shouting at the staff and applicants causing more anxiousness!) Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
