US Immigration from Philippines

Hello, If being required to move residence prior to receiving GC, will the USPS forward GC's to new address? Or does USCIS put a "Do Not Forward" message on GC mailing?

Thanks for any responses!

Hello,

We got DQ'd early this month and our case is still with the NVC. After serious thought and consideration and due to personal reasons, we are thinking of possibly not pursuing the IR-1 visa at this time.

Questions:
1. Is there an option to postpone the process at this point? If so, how do we go about doing this?
2. If postponing is not an option, do we reach out to NVC or wait until we receive an interview letter from the embassy to cancel? I understand it may take a while before the case gets forwarded.

3. If we do cancel, could it affect my spouse's ability to enter the US on a tourist visa (currently has a B1/B2 visa valid until 2032) for a visit down the road?
4. If at some point in the future our plans change and we want to re-apply for the IR-1 visa, would the cancellation in any way affect the new application?

Thank you in advance for your inputs.

Hi all,

My wife and I are preparing the last few pushes for her visa, and we're getting documents in order for her embassy interview. She says she is required to bring an original copy of my divorce decree from my previous marriage. In Wisconsin, we don't get original copies. The original copy stays with the clerk of courts, and we get a copy, which is what my wife has in her possession.

My understanding from reading through the forums is that with the exception of the original AoS documents I submit through CEAC, only the beneficiary's original civil documents are required...? But I could be mistaken.

Any VJ members who were previously married and their current spouse had their interview at the Manila embassy? What original documents pertaining to you was your wife required to present?

Thank you,

Jason and May

I decided to break up with my wife because she cheated on me.

We got married in the Philippines (civil wedding) and I petitioned her to come live with me in hawaii. She been here for about 10 years now.

She is not a US citizen, just green card.

We have 2 boys together (3yr and 9yr) both US citizens.

Question is , Do I need to file a divorce here in Hawaii? If so, where do I begin or who do I seek.

Thank you

We received the email today notifying us of the NVC case creation. I've been trying off and on over the course of the day to check the case status and see if we can set up the CEAC account and pay the bills. I continually get an error notice stating the server dropped the connection. In checking the VJ forums, it looks like this is a pretty routine issue, or at least CEAC being down/not working properly has been an ongoing and routine issue?

I've attached a screenshot of the error message. (I get the same message via Safari and Chrome.) I'm using the URL https://ceac.state.gov/iv.
