US Immigration from Philippines

I haven't posted here in a long time. My wife immigrated to Tennessee in 2009 to join me. She was a teacher, and then Principal in the Philippines. Here in the USA she reinvented herself. She is a Captain (soon to be Major) in the U.S. Air Force Nurse Corps. We were stationed in Germany for 4 years, and now have been in Alaska at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson for over a year now. Currently, even while on active duty, she is working on her PhD in Healthcare Administration. We share a 14 year old son who plans on going to the U.S. Air Force Academy when he graduates high school (a gpa of 4.0, straight A+ student!)

Just posting this to show how this journey really can work out great!

God bless you all in the journey!

My fianc e and I are planning to be married hopefully by the end of next year. She hails from a province in the Philippines but is currently working under contract in Hong Kong as an OFW. She has been married in the Philippines and thus needs a divorce. We are going through a consulting agency so I anticipate it would go by rather fast. If anyone has a good idea on a time frame - please comment on this and let me know what kind of time I am looking at.

Regardless - I am posting for the reason that her contract ends in July and she does not want to renew it. I had seen in another discussion that she had a choice of processing her part of the K1 visa either in Hong Kong or back in the Philippines where she comes from. Is this still true and what would needed to be done should she move back to her home in the Philippines to finish with her part of the K1

Thanks for the replies in advance

I would like to ask if after I accidentally opened the visa yellow packet, informed the Us embassy and emailed back the document to be resealed together with the request letter. What is chances that it will be ok?

Hey all. We were DQ'd in June 2024, and my wife wants to get her medical early because we know some scarring in her lungs will lead to more testing. She wants to schedule it for January, but I read you cannot schedule it without the appointment letter. Can we schedule it before receiving our appointment letter from the NVC, or do we have to wait? Thanks!

Aloha,

We received an RFE today regarding multiple filings. This is what they say the need -

For this petition to be approved, USCIS would have to grant a waiver of the filing limitations described above. You must submit a written request for a waiver and explain why a waiver is appropriate in your case. You submitted a waiver request but you did not submit any/sufficient evidence to support your waiver request. The evidence should show that a favorable exercise of discretion to grant the waiver is warranted in your case and any unusual circumstances that exist (e.g. death or incapacity of the former beneficiary(ies)).

I will attach my Request for Waiver that we included in our packet (doc file). Please give me ideas what else I can say/include. I'm lost.

Bill
