  1. Thanks again, Family. I believe things are moving in a positive direction right now.
  2. Hi Family, Thank you so much for your help. Two questions for when I call on Monday.. What is Tier 2, and what is a service call? I printed the form to send to my congressman today. It would be awesome to get through USCIS stage before I go back to visit my wife in June. While that is unlikely, at least I can get some seeds planted before I leave. Thanks again! Thank you, Redro!
  3. Hi Redro, No I have not tried to file an I129F. Nor have I tried a K3. I think because I married my wife in her country the I129F is off the table...but not the K3.
  4. I'm afraid I don't even know how to tell where the lockbox is. But I did send a certified letter to TSC in January for a case update but no response.
  5. Thank you, Redro. My only concern now is, do I dare file a K3 at this point? We could be approved next week. K3 might delay it a few more months. But I'm no lawyer or expert. If I'm still stuck in a background check, my worry is that the same thing will happen if I file a K3.
  6. Thank you, Family. I really appreciate it. I'm going to give this a other month or two before I do this. Attorney or no attorney involved. I really do appreciate your help. Thank you so very much!!
  7. Thanks. I did. Looks like we are way behind schedule but looks like there are a lot of people still st USCIS stage like my wife and I
  8. Well, that's not very encouraging and I thank you for your oppinion. This is so hard...
  9. Hello Everyone, I am married to a Filipina and our two year wedding anniversary will be April 18th. USCIS started processing our case early July of 2022. We are still at the USCIS stage. My lawyer wants to just file a Mandamus in July of this year. I don't want to spend the 6 grand. I will if I have to though. He has told me, reaching out to a senator will do nothing, contacting a local lawmaker will do nothing, and contacting USCIS is a "colossal waste of time". I feel like he just wants the 6k for filing the writ. He explained to me that if he files it, his "contact" at USCIS will email him and ask what can be done to avoid going to court. Does any anyone have any ideas to prevent me from spending another 6 thousand dollars? My lawyer seems confident in his plan, but I just want this petition approved. It's been nearly two years now. Read my other, threads that should answer any questions..
  10. I'm going to assume you are in the US. I got married after 18 days and could have gone faster if I wanted. You're going to need to have someone send you your birth certificate. I would think a friend or legal courier could do this for you. The municipality you are in MAY allow you to present a copy of it in which case someone can email it to you, and you can print it off of someone's computer. Go to the embassy in Manila and get your Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry notarized (very important). You will need all divorce decree's and also certificates of any prior marriages. Your fiancée' will need a valid CENOMAR. She may need parental consent if she is under a certain age( I want to say its 24) and if the parents refuse there are forms for that. Some Municipality's you need counseling, some you don't. Go to the local registrar, apply for marriage and wait 10 weekdays. Then book the venue. Or book the venue months prior like I did. You would be wise to have your fiancée get a list of EXACTLY is required for a foreigner to marry a Filipino in her municipality. Be sure to send your marriage certificate to PSA, right away. I was lucky in the fact that I was able to have a lawyer sign my affidavit because it was still right after COVID. Hope this helped! Marriage - U.S. Embassy in the Philippines (usembassy.gov)
  11. Well, my wait time went from 2 months to 4. Which tells me they got my inquiry letter.
  12. Happening to me to on my PC if I try to access anything relate to Visa Journey. I wiped my PC as I thought I had been hacked.
  13. @FlyG22 It won't let me submit an inquiry, which is why I mailed a letter to my service center. I do still think those of us that are kind of outside the bubble, so to speak will be getting some good news in the next month or two.
