Can I live outside of the US and still apply for a K1 -NEW ONE

Also her Mother is only green card holder and has had a petition for her in for years, would we have to cancel that before submitting the K1?

THAT, is a very good question. I don't know the answer but I wanted to call attention to it.

It's best to call the Embassy in Manila and ask what they require. They don't necessarily play by the same rules as all other Embassies.

Actually, this is a USCIS only question. The Embassy doesn't and will likely never have or deal with the I-130 filed by the LPR mother because it hasn't been approved yet.

Well he can still call the Embassy, they will answer his questions, he doesnt have to call USCIS only.

One would call the Embassy or Consulate about Department of State related portions of the visa process. This is a petition question. USCIS handles that end of the process, so the answer to this question needs to come from them.

Fine, but im saying the embassy can also answer petition questions. My point is, dont write off the embassy all together, they are capable of answering petition questions.

You never know what kind of knowledge people have. I certainly wouldn't ask USCIS anything about what happens after the case leaves the service center for NVC. We've seen plenty of their misinformation here lately. I would expect similar misinformation coming from the other direction.

I have one or two connections thru the embassy network down there, I can explore to see if I can get an answer.
