US Immigration from Philippines

Hi. I am new here! Me and my fianc is processing my K1 visa through the help of Rapid Visa. which is not being very helpful at all. After more than 2 months of processing/filing all the requirements they were asking, our Petition ahs finally been mailed to USCIS. Now, i know and have read that it takes almost a month just to get the NOA1 but did anybody here processed their applications through a the help of a third party also? did hiring someone made the application faster or not? I miss my fianc badly and this waiting game is not doing me really well.

Well its that time of year again. We will be headed over on the 15th of December for our annual Christmas venture. Does anyone here know of any new requirements? I'm pretty sure its all gone away but I just want to make sure. Please feel free to respond or ask any questions of your own.

We are booked for St Luke's on January 22nd an Interview is January 25th, will that be enough time? They were not booking interviews on Fridays, so this was our best choice. Has anyone done an exam on Monday morning and interviewed on Thursday. We are a family of 5 on W1/W2 visas.

Is there an updated list of recommended places to eat affordably, with good food? Anywhere near the Embassy or St Luke's extension.

Hello group has anyone had to file an I-131 and had it mailed to the US EMBASSY in Manila Philippines? My wife will leave the USA for a family medical reason she holds a 10 year PRC
