US Immigration from Philippines

My wife has been in the US since September of Covid and a LPR since October of 21, applying for citz next year. She's due with our baby in Oct/Nov. I thought it would be a good idea for her mom to visit us for a few months over the birth time to help out. Pinoy interviewer in Manila denied her. I had told her she needs to get her file of 'stuff' to the interviewer because he won't ask for it. That didn't happen so we want to try again and this time she knows to get the file to the interviewer. Force it on them if she has to because without it, there's nothing to show the required "compelling reasons to return to the Philippines."

Anyway, I go to sign in and select New Application, NIV, B-2...and the info is already there including the DS-160 AA confirmation #. And then it wants me to pay the fee. This seems too easy. I know that nothing has actually changed on the DS-160 but being a gov't system I would expect them to want an entirely new submission. Is this correct?, just pay again with the same DS-160 number? Seems to me someone would look up the number, see it was already denied and deny it again without interview.

Hello,

Im a USA citizen. Living in the states for a little over 8 years. I am pregnant with my first baby and I will be due end of this year. I will get my 74yo mom tourist visa. She is a senior citizen. She is in the Philippines. I would like her to be here in the states with me when I deliver my baby. Does anyone here applied recently for tourist visa for parents? Do they still need a medical and interview?
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

I've been reading several (horror) stories about PH immigration offloading or holding up Philippine passport holders unreasonably at the airport to the point that they miss their flights. I'm currently visiting my family here in the Philippines for the first time since I got my conditional US permanent residency (green card) and I'm a bit anxious dealing with PH immigration when I return to the US especially since I'm a female traveling alone. (Unfortunately my partner wasn't able to join me for this trip because of work commitments.) Would anyone here who has/had a conditional green card and traveled to the Philippines before be able to share their experience with PH immigration when you returned to the US? What was your experience like? May I know what questions and documents the PH immigration officer asked you? I was hoping to prepare as best as I could before my flight back to the US.

Thank you so much!

Good day!I was married for 12 years and he died here in the Philippines September of 2021,Is there a chance for me to apply for widowers visa?.Hope you can help me..Thank you very much

My wife's I-130 has been approved and now waiting for NVC. In the meantime I am pre-filling the DS-230 in preparation of the DS-260 coming soon.

21a. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will accompany you to the United States now.

I understand that my name doesn't need to be there because I am the sponsor, but does my son need to be listed? He was born in the Philippines and has not been out of the country yet, however he is already a US Citizen with CRBA and Passport. I will be going there to accompany them on the flight to the United States.

(Hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question)
