No interview.

I did the process by myself.

I know i have to wet sign it but after scan and sign. do i have to attach it to the i-864 remove empty page 10 and attach page 10 with signature or just upload page 10 with signature by itself?.

Sputum test was negative about 2 months ago but as part of their normal process, they sent a lab smear test to sit for 2 months. The results of this test were supposed to have been emailed to her yesterday, on Friday. After she receives the results of the 2 month lab work, she is supposed to then receive her vaccines and continue with remaining medical clearance. The results didn't come yesterday. Is it possible for these results to come over the weekend? We are concerned because her flight leaves Manila to go back home on 9/26. We are worried that the results will for some reason not come in time. She has been checking her spam and junk folders regularly. Does anyone have any experience in this?

I called +63 2 8521 0020 and spoke to some security person who says there is nobody to speak to because they are closed for the weekend.

I wonder if I should go ahead and email inquiry@slec.ph

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello!

My fiancee and I are concerned about the "proof of meeting in person" and the "proof of relationship" portions of the K1 application. She is from Brazil, which is apparently seen as a "high fraud risk" country. As such, we have seen some advice on these two points, and also paid for a consultant to review our K1 packet. But I'm finding it very hard to know who to believe, and we have slightly different views as to how lengthy and detailed to make the "proof of meeting in person" description.

Some concerns around our particular situation include:
* Our relationship is short -- we met in June of this year. In August we spent an amazing week together in Brazil, after which I proposed without hesitation (she is absolutely the one). I will be moving to Brazil in December for us to live together for 6 months while we wait for the K1. I am hoping that this will assist the interview if and when she gets to that point, but at the point of submitting the K1, we just have that one week of in-person time (and of course a lot of WhatsApp texts and calls).

* She drives for a version of Uber in Brazil, after some complications due to both Covid and law changes in Brazil forced her exit from her earlier career, so she doesn't have a long full time employment history to show in the 5 year span.

* The consultant remarked that there is also a risk as she has been married to a foreigner before (not from the US, over a decade ago)

The consultant's suggestion is to keep it relatively short, but also said we need to make it feel "real". Our current version feels very "legal" due to other suggestions I had read on here and other sources.

Does anyone have experience submitting for a "high fraud" risk country, and have ideas about what to include for these two requirements?

thank you!

Hi everyone,

My I-751 (filled jointly) has been pending for more than 1.5 years, and unfortunately, it looks like we'll be divorcing. I'm in California and the divorce process here takes at least 6 months (waiting period) before it's finalized, and in my case it could take even longer - possible up to 2 years (expecting for the worst).

My questions are:

1. When should I notify USCIS and convert my case to a divorce waiver?

2. If i file the waiver as soon as divorce case is open and USCIS sends me an RFE, I may not be able to provide the final divorce decree in time. Should I wait until the divorce is closer to being finalized before I switch?

3. What if i get scheduled for the interview while still in the divorce process? Can I attend the interview on my own and request to convert my petition to a divorce waiver there?
