US Immigration from Philippines

Hi Folks...

Am I reading these timelines correctly:

AoS - Average total days until interview 262 days

Adjustment of Status (Green Card) I-485 US Immigration Statistics (visajourney.com)

AP - Average Total Days 224

Advance Parole (I-131) US Immigration Statistics (visajourney.com)

Our primary goal is to allow my fianc to return to the Philippines around 9-10 months after she gets here so that she can have enough time to take her son to get his medical exam completed & interview for his K2 so that he can follow to join us within the year of her K1 visa issuance. Based on what I am seeing above, is it basically pointless to file for Advanced Parole since the decision seem to be close enough for us to achieve what we are hoping to achieve? It doesn't seem to make sense to pay $575 for the AP if the AoS will be completed a month later & within the time frame we are hoping to complete the process in. I am also planning to get our congressmen involved to ensure that she completes the AoS with enough time to get her son here.

Am I missing anything here?

Thanks!

Hi VJs

i will be traveling soon and just want to ask you. My I-751 application is been pending since June 2019. Let September I got I-551 stamp in my passport. And just about a month ago I received a 48 months extension letter. I m just so worried to travel and can t decide which one to show as a proof of my immigration status. Will the stamped passport sufficient enough? Or the 48months extension letter? The problem is when I had my passport stamped they took away my expired greencard. Anyone can share your experience? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I had a petition filed for my filipino husband, but he decided he didn't want to immigrate to US, so I withdrew it. Also, he has another woman and a new baby. I am a Philippine immigrant, now a US citizen. Can anyone give me a liilte guidance on, if I can divorce him without going back to the Philippines? I was looking at some online divorces, but they seem too good to be true. Thank you, so much!

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have any recommendations on apps, books or websites that could help me learn Cebuano/Bisaya/Visaya?

Thanks!

I got laid off from my job and it seems really difficult to land another job in time for the immigration process if I'm being realistic.

My wife's cousin is a green card holder who has lived in America for about 7 months now with just 1 tax return so far. Does she qualify to be joint sponsor? Her cousin doesn't live with me, so she's not considered part of my household.

From what I've read, it seems that a "join sponsor" would need 3 years worth of tax returns and be in the same household as me? When I asked Emma and spoke with a live agent, they pointed me to these links:

Anyone applying to be a permanent resident through a family member must have a sponsor. A sponsor is also required for a family member coming to work for a relative, or for a company in which a relative owns 5 percent or more of the company. If the petitioner does not meet the financial qualifications, the income of certain other household members can be added into the income level of the petitioner if that household member signs a contract on Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, agreeing to make their income and/or assets available for the support of the petitioner s relative applying for permanent residence. If the petitioner still cannot meet the financial qualifications, another person will need to complete a separate Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, to become a joint financial sponsor of the petitioner s relative. If you choose to become the joint sponsor, you must meet all sponsorship requirements separately, including the minimum income requirements for your household, and must be willing to assume, along with the petitioner, financial liability for the sponsored immigrant. All sponsors must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, be at least 18, and be living in the United States (including territories and possessions) when they file the affidavit of support.
