US Immigration from Philippines

Hello!

Yesterday, April 5th, I went to my N400 interview, passed, and took the oath at the same day. It was worth the 3 hour drive from Pensacola to Montgomery. We were up early for my 8 AM appointment, slept in the parking space to wait for the oath ceremony at 11:30 AM and was home by 4 PM. We celebrated by taking home some Popeye's chicken!

Last night, I finished the petition for my mom online. And today, I applied for my U.S. passport.

Thank you for all the help and support from this community!

Hello,

My fianc is a US citizen petitioner who is estranged from his father. He only knows his first and last name. He does not know his middle name, birth place, and area of residence. His mother has passed away, and nobody else in his life knows about his father. On his I-129F, is he allowed to write "unknown" on the appropriate spaces, or is it more appropriate to use "N/A?"

This might sound like a silly question, sorry. The instructions on the I-129F don't seem to mention using "unknown" as a response.

Edit: Is "unknown" more correct to use than "N/A" in this situation?

Hi, we are planning to get married in the Philippines. Does anyone have what requirements I need to get Married. I have a list of requirements and all the documentation to show I can marry. A required document "Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage for U.S. Citizens" is a form I filled it out and it needs to be norterized. I was told I need to go to the US Embassy but they didnt say why. Can anyone tell me what that is about and how long it will take for what ever they need to do?

She got her Annulment finalized in Dec 22, we have been working to get all the documents signed and turned in to the proper offices since Jan. We hope to get the final decree this month so we can get married, then I will apply for her spouse visa, the application is ready to be sent in, I'm waiting for the annulament and wedding license. We have been engaged since Oct 19, 22, and have lived together for a year. I need to get back to the states for my summer job and my time is running out. This annulment has taken a lot longer than we had planned.

Thanks for any information. Thank you

Sincerely, Dan

P.S. Once I get through this process, I will help others get through it. It has been a learning process.

Hello everybody! My step son 's (who resides in the Philippines) visa petition was approved by USCIS yesterday. How long is it taking for NVC to receive from USCIS and to create case files?

Just got our i-130 (standalone) approved. I was researching how long it will take to have the case created in NVC, how long itll take to approve the documents, and then how long each of the medical, visa interview, and cfo will take to schedule and complete but I am not able to find any info besides that NVC is taking about a month to create the case and DQ, according to their site.

Does anyone have recent info on any of the above? We won't be picky so will choose the soonest appointment for anything that requires one.

Thanks!
