Special treatment for celebrities for the interview at USEM?

[zuluweta 250]

I did some 'googling'. From an article in May 15, 2012:

It was Jemela Nettles who processed the extraordinary-ability visa of Miguel (including his family; Miguel now has a green card) and its also Jemela who is processing Ai-Ais application for the same visa and those of Sophia and Niccolo who are being petitioned by Miguel.

I wonder who petitioned for her since she doesn't have a spouse who will sponsor her. I saw the Instagram message. It was from that Nettles Filipino lawyer. Could it be due to 'extraordinary ability'?

Exactly, that's what I wanna ask her too since she's a type of celebrity that likes to reply to her IG friends but I didn't ask because I figured I would get flamed for being too personal.

I also wondered if she has done her medical yet?

I told my hubby not her parents lived in US but her kids, so maybe the kids petitioned her but their not citizens yet I think so that's the greatest question, who is her petitioner?

The kids are below 21 years old and not US citizens, so her children won't be able to petition her. I think she's applying for O visa, which is a non-immigrant visa. However, she will be able to self petition for a green card after getting the O visa. Self petitioning might not be easy though.

Out of curiosity, I checked it too. I was initially thinking it was for a NIV like E-2, but she captioned it "immigrant visa", and later on mention that "it's still different if one is a resident". Could it be EB-5?

I wonder if Aiai knows that she has to be in US more than 6 months in a year to maintain residency.

I think it's not an immigrant visa she is interviewing for but an O-1 extraordinary ability non-immigrant visa. Otherwise, why would she now write, 'it's still different if one is a resident'? Plus the article I posted earlier claims she is being represented by Ms. Nettles for the same visa as her ex Miguel Vera. That would be O-1.

Ai Ai might also have difficulty getting a green card via EB-1 or EB-2 because she's a movie and TV star. To get her self petition for green card approved, she has to continue being a movie and TV star in the US. And even if she is successful getting a green card, will she be willing to sacrifice her career in the Philippines to prove to USCIS that she will be establishing domicile in the US as a permanent resident? Tough choices for her, to be sure.

Exactly my thoughts. Have you seen the IG post? http://instagram.com/p/r9DCnBp22c/?modal=true

That's why I find it strange that she captioned it as "Finally, got an interview date for my immigrant visa" [in Tagalog]. The context of "It's still different if one is a resident" is in comparison to being a 10-year multiple entry B visa holder [in one of her response to the comments].

Never a fangirl, but I am soooooo close to asking her what type of visa she is aiming for.

Yes, I saw the IG post. But was it Ai Ai or her IG follower who wrote that it's still different if one is a resident?

[bendinlar 16]

It's her IG follower not her. She posted a picture of I think a text message from her lawyer that says she already had a scheduled interview Sept. 16, 6:15am. Then, her caption to that pics was she's happy because she already had an interview for an immigrant visa... To God be the glory... And thankful for that blessing.

It's Aiai. 18th comment.

My Nephew did the Fiance Visa around the late 90's, He was able to go into the embassy with his fiancé, before they let in the non americans. He said he went in thru a side door on the embassy.

I did a Fiance Visa a few years ago and I couldn't find this side door to get in before the non americans in line

I will go to the embassy a day early and scope out and see if this special pass still is in effect this time

I hate to stand in line

You don't want to stand by your fiancee's side?

Hopefully we can get in early at the Embassy and be able to avoid the line, I will see what I can do

Avoid the line? Are you serious? That won't happen, maybe if you camp there overnight.... .... even then no guarantees!
