US Immigration from Philippines

I'm I correct that uscis gives you a name change document if you change your name when you become a citizen?

I would think that they would or is it done through a court order?

We scheduled a B-2 interview for my 82 year Filipina widowed mother-in-law. How does the US Embassy apply their policy on whether to subject her to an interview based on old age? How does the Embassy make the decision and notification to the applicant?

Attorneys are extremely expensive and in my situation it would have been a waste of resources to hire one for my K1 process. It seems like what they do is fill out forms for you and don't in any way speed up the long wait times. I am curious how others feel about this or what their personal experiences and outlook is on the subject.

Greetings!

August 2023 - My brother had his medical and was told to come back to a certain date to start sputum testing, although I felt his sadness but, I cheered him up and asked him to just to do what they wanted him to do, and we will hope for the best.

September 2023 - He was supposed to be his interview but that was cancelled.

October 2023- Started his test.

November 2023- He was told that he was cleared and was asked to the clinic and continue with his vaccination.

December 2023- I was able to schedule his interview. Everything went okay.

January 2024- Arrived in the USA.

January 2024- I received a call from the department of Health from a county and asked him symptoms etc., I interrupted that he was cleared etc. and still the nurse told me that he do not really know and just wanted to make sure, I was confused maybe because despite being cleared, I noticed a like an annotation on his passport. So, even if he was cleared and because of that annotation, he needed to clear his part like medically. Like literally had to do chest x-ray and blood test (cold standard for TB testing. So, I asked them that he just had that and was cleared and that is what he was allowed to come in USA? The nurse told me that she has no idea. So, my poor bother has to do it all over again. And was able to have an appointment April 2004.

March 2024- It was easy to just walk in and had his chest x-ray and blood test done.

March 2024- I received his Dr's appointment. Mind it has a date, but time was to be called by the nurse.

April 2024- The day before his appointment, no call from the nurse. So, I had to call the office until it is about to closed and obviously no one answered, so how can we go for an appointment with no time but, the date and no call. So, I left a long message of how disappointed I was etc. (to have an appointment is difficult and to be call off from work to be with my brother is another thing). Then the day of his appointment< I received a call from the nurse and told me that they forgot about to us about the time of his appointment and was asked to wait to another two months like June? I was so mad. and told her how hard it was to wait. and to arrange a day off etc. and it was not our fault, and it was very unfair. A few minutes, they called again and apologized and told us and asked if we can be quick to have my brother inserted for an appointment. I also, was very curious to know if my brother is really okay with that was done prior. The test that was done turned out to be okay, Can, you imagined that my brother was a blood donation for a cancer patient and of all he has an up to date medical.

I was happy that it was done, it is just a repetition when you were already cleared from the country where you came from, so that should be clear prior to arriving and not to put an annotation in the passport informing that was something? causing the receiving country that you needed to clear again? fpr nothing, they should know that green card will not be issued if you are not cleared prior to arriving in the USA.

NOTE: The time wasted, not to mention paying for another chest x ray and blood test was expensive. The bill was $795.00. and fought about it as at first, I was told it was free and ended up paying around $335.00.

Has anyone attempted to get a waiver for the Adam Walsh Act that prevents a sex offender from sponsoring their fiance? If so, what was the process like? Did it work?

Iwas told by a lawyer that it rarely ever is approved because the decision comes down to a politician who is just trying to to curry favor with the public. He said he doesn't recommend this as it almost always fails and ends up being a waste of time and money.
