US Immigration from Philippines

I just got an email that I can already schedule my interview in the embassy. My fiance and I are still planning to get married but a bunch of stuff happened that impacted our financial situation by a lot. So we were thinking that we should at least wait for 9 months up to a year just to fix our finances a bit. Would it be possible to schedule the interview in 9 months or do i have to have it scheduled this year?

Has anyone ever made their appointments for CFO before receiving visa and then returning for the sticker. With 5 of us it would make this Manila travel so much easier.

Hello!

I am considering petitioning for my mom, only because she has been denied a tourist visa when she renewed it.
She previously held a 10-year tourist visa and used it twice to visit me. She stayed for 4 months during her first, and the second, which was a few years later, was 5 months. Apparently, these long visits seems to be an issue during her renewal interview.

I am a US citizen, and I can just easily -although a lengthy process- to petition my mom, but she does not want to immigrate here. She only wants to come visit.

I guess my question is: I am not familiar with the rules of the I-130. Is this even a good idea to pursue this if she only wants to visit? The visit may only be once or twice every 2 years for 1-2 mos, if that. What steps does she need to take to maintain her status if we go this route? What are your thoughts?

Hello, I was asked for RFE after my May 1, 2024 combo I-751/N400 interview. I wanted to gather as much evidence as possible so I held off on submitting it until the last day. It said BY June 4, which in my understanding is, anytime before 12:00 am June 5. When I logged in to upload my documents this early morning (June 4), I was mortified to see that it notes that I have missed my deadline. I uploaded all my files just the same by clicking on upload unsolicited evidence , as this was what replaced the original respond with evidence button. Is this a cause for worry? Should I speak to Customer Service, and what number do I reach them? If it was a glitch, can I upload more files before midnight?

Aloha,

I was reading a very old post (2008 I think), and they we're discussing a K1 case being "touched". I read this to mean as something as trivial as it being moved from one bin to another - or it could indicate something more significant. Are "touches" still a thing and it so, how do we know if we been "touched"?

Mahalo,

Bill and Dina
