US Immigration from Philippines

Here is some of what my doctor wrote for my NVC expedite request, Names have been taken out.

Any chance this gets approved:

I ve been treating xxxxx (US Air Force Veteran) for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) since 2012. He is rated 100% Permanent and Totally disabled with aid and attendant required, through the Department of Veterans Affairs and is on Social Security Disability Insurance.

xxxxxxxx spouse (xxxxxxxxxxx) is his aid and attendant.

She is required due to, xxxxxxxx being so helpless that he is in need of regular aid and attendance while not hospitalized at US government expense to help protect him from the hazards or dangers incident to his daily environment. His major symptoms include:

Persistent danger of hurting others

Suicidal ideation

Near-continuous depression affecting the ability to function independently, appropriately and effectively

Persistent danger of hurting himself

Near-continuous panic affecting the ability to function independently, appropriately and effectively

Impaired impulse control

Current medications are: Lithium Carbonate 300mg x3 daily and Risperidone 2mg X2 daily

Hello everyone. Has anyone sent a balikbayan box to the Philippines recently? My wife and I are preparing to send our first balikbayan box to her family. At LBC, the lady said that we can have maximum 12 of each item. We have, for example, 15 bags of assorted chocolate (Snickers, Twix, etc). We also have 24 new Old Navy shirts of various styles and colors. Can we really only ship 12 of these bags of chocolate? Only 12 shirts?

Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

*edit for the mods: I tried to post this in the Philippines area, but I couldn't figure it out. Could you please move it there?

Hello,

It seems like my spouse's visa has been approved based on the screen shot below:

I have a few questions:

1. For those who went through the 221(g) process - did you receive all the additional documents you submitted back along with the stamped passport? I'm asking because we'll need some of these documents (e.g. CENOMAR, NBI Clearance) for the GCP Seminar
2. How long did it take for you to receive your passport back? My spouse is Manila-based

Thanks!!

For those who have Global Entry , CBP has released a new mobile app that would allow you to just take a selfie and skip the kiosks all together.

I am at the tail end of the K-1 visa process. I have created a DS-134 for my fianc to submit at the interview with a letter of explanation. We will see how that goes.

i am a disabled veteran. I get monthly disability checks from the VA, and that money is non-taxable. I also receive SSI, and at tax time, my AGI is below taxable levels. So the IRS refuses to accept a tax return from me. So I have no tax transcripts for the last 5 years.

I wrote all this in a letter of explanation to accompany the DS-134, along with benefit letters from the VA and the SSA. I sent letters from the banks detailing my savings and the deposits into those accounts. I hope that will suffice for the K-1. My gross income is well above the required level for sponsorship.

My question comes because the AOS seems to be much stricter on the income requirements and I am just wondering if you folks have suggestions on the paperwork I should start gathering.

i am 62 years old and worked and paid taxes for over 45 years, just not in the last 5 years.

Thank you for your time.
