We got my mom result and she passed. They gave us a letter and they say if we ever have a problem in immigration just show the letter.  Basically, the letter is just saying my mom doesn't have TB.

OK. That's great - good to have that letter for records. Thanks Lane. It is incredibly useful to have you respond to all our queries.

Hi my mom passed her interview last 2/8 and they said visa is aapproved and will receive the passport 7-10 business days.

 

how long before your mom received their visa? 

 

I check the CEAC track visa application it showed AP status saying follow the letter that They give after yhe interview. but they didnt give any letter to my mom after the interview. Is that normal?

 

Thank you in advance!

I don't exactly remember but it is more than a week but not more than 2 weeks when we received the visa. 

 

I remember the status in AP at first and then changed to Visa Issued after a few days.

Thanks again!

Yes you can pay once your mom arrived into US but it’s faster for your mom to received her GC if you pay it before she arrived into US since they issued the GC within 90 days after they received the payment... ( feel free for anyone to correct me if I’m wrong   with this info.) 

 

No payment needed at the US airport but in NAIA (PH) airport my mom paid some Terminal Fee not sure how much I need to ask my mom how much she paid.

 

your mom needs to attend CFO (PDOS) seminar you can scheduled it online for her as soon as your mom received her US Visa stamped inside her PH passport..

Your mom needs to pay cash for that.

 

the Immigration officer at NAIA will need to see that PDOS stamp on her passport along with her IR-5 visa stamp on her flight to US

Hi all! Long time no see!

 

First off, I'm so stoked to see such progress from everyone who was in our general timeline from 2017!!

 

Originally part of the July 2017 filers... finally back on track. We had to take about a year-long break in the process while Dad was dealing with his cancer treatments. Just now picking back up where we left off (and just in time - our 1-year contact requirement with NVC would be up at the end of March and we were getting nervous about meeting that deadline, whew!).

 

So we're about a year behind y'all, but I wanted to come back and check in anyway.

 

Dad (father in law) beat the original cancer by chemo / radiation / surgical removal of part of esophagus and stomach / removal of one lymph node. Unfortunately, after he was healed up from that, they found a couple tiny spots in his liver. Biopsy confirmed that it had spread there from the original esophagus cancer, and it will now be a matter of palliative care as there's apparently nothing they can do about it further at this time.

 

On the plus side, they've called him a "bizarre" patient because it is not negatively effecting him thus far. He's steadily gaining weight, feeling great, and doing well, overall. They've assured him he's fine to travel and should carry on as normal until / unless things go downhill.

 

So, onward! We're going to bring him here so that he can live out his years with us, and we're going to try to make them the best years of his life. (We really have no idea how long he has. They would / could not give us a life expectancy... so we're aiming for the general average for this type of cancer at this stage, which looks like about 3 to 5 years unless something miraculous happens in the meantime - there's always hope.)

 

FINALLY logged into CEAC thing, selected Agent, and paid AoS fee $120 last week. Got confirmation by email today, logged back in, paid the application fee $325. Once that's cleared, we'll submit the application. Working on assembling our packet of documents in the meantime... and hoping he doesn't have a hard time getting the police certificate. (Not sure if it can come from the town hall (easy) or if he has to go 1.5 hours away (annoying).)

 

... And, of course, getting ready to battle the beast of getting health insurance for him here. Yeaaah.

 

Will check back in when we make more progress. Take care!!

Hi,

it should be on the initial petition form you completed,I’ve put check when the form ask if I wanted my mom to apply for SSN and deliver via mail to my address. Double Check your initial application form and see if you have put a check into it. If not then you have to bring your parents in person to your nearest SSN office to apply for one.
