US Immigration from Philippines

Recently, our case migrated to ELIS (Electronic Immigration System). And provided us with new receipt number. Have you guys experience this? Do you think they are on our case and processing it? I don't know if this will make the processing time faster but we are hoping. What you guys think? Thanks!

Greetings,

In the Philippines, our naming convention differs from that of the United States. Here, our middle name typically comprises our mother's maiden surname, as opposed to the American practice of utilizing a second first name or a middle name.

In my particular case, my name structure consists of two first names, followed by a middle name (which is my mother's maiden surname), and finally, my last name.

When completing the DS-160 form, should I consolidate all components of my name under "Given Name"?

For instance:

Surname: Lopez
Given Name: Daisy Jane Cruz

Thank you for your guidance.

hi there, my wife's son (age 11) finally got an interview scheduled for next month June 26 (his priority date was September 2019). Assuming he is approved on that day, how long does it typically take for the consulate to grant him the VISA and update his passport so he can travel to the US? Thank you.

My wife just filed her N400 and we are looking ahead to possibly bringing her parents to the US after she becomes a citizen. I have a few questions about this.

First of all she will be eligible to petition for them after she becomes a citizen correct?

It is my understanding my wife would file an I-130 for them. Is the process similar to applying for a spousal visa?

It appears as far as documents go they would need birth certificates and a marriage certificate (along with my wifes birth certificate and naturalization certificate)? Is anything else needed? We would like to have her parents start gathering the needed documents now.

Are the processing times for this type of visa similar to a spousal visa or does it take longer?

My wife has a 17 year old brother. It is my understanding that after her parents become permanent residents they can petition for him. Is this correct? Would he have to be under 21 at the time they petition for him?

We would like to petition for my wifes parents as soon as she becomes a citizen so were trying to get all of our ducks in a row right now.

Me and my wife became Documentarily Qualified on December 15th. I was wondering if while we are waiting for our interview date we can apply for the I-601 waiver so we can get a religious exemption for the vaccines. Everywhere I'm hearing, people are saying that applying for that extends the process which leads me to believe that you can only apply for that after the medical exam. Is that right? Or am I allowed to apply in parallel?
