US Immigration from Philippines

Hello,

I started my timeline with a visa for my husband and 2 sons. He hes decided not to come. Since then I have filed visas for my sons and became a US citizen. I would like to add or create new timeline. What is the best way to do that?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

After over a year of waiting for the interview, my mom's visa got denied with 214g. She was asked 3 questions, what does she do, who will pay, and how long will she stay. Mom is over 60 year old. She answered that she works for the first question. My siblings and the entire family is still in the Philippines. She also cannot immigrate because her pension requires her to renew every year.

Will it hurt if she re-applies immediately? Or that doesn't matter?

Do you have any tips to increase her chances of getting approved?

After the denial, I started thinking of the factors that could have affected, such as the time of the interview, etc.

Thanks!!

Need some thoughts on how we can better plan our approach for my daughter plan to study on School year 2023-2024 while we await immigrant interview (location/MNL).

My daughter currently on Senior year already applied to US College schools and waiting result in March 2023. I would like to anticipate possible dilemma since we just received notice for our immigrant case now n-transit" but no idea when we can get schedule for interview in Manila. My daughter is derivative dependent for F3 visa.

1. In case she gets accepted and successfully applied for F1 visa how would we approach if we suddenly have the scheduled interview this year, she may need to be in the US in Jul/Aug (not yet sure) to be ready for start of school year in Sep. Do you think it will have conflict once we received notice for interview this year as well? I have no idea on the waiting time for F1 visa processing and also not sure how long the waiting time for getting notice for immigrant visa interview. Assume she is already in US, she needs to come back again to join us on the interview? By the way, the F1 visa and Immigrant interview location will be in different US embassy. Will this be messy?

2. Would it be better to wait for the immigrant visa interview first? But what happens if we don't receive notice this year? My daughter would really want to start college in US especially if she will be accepted in the preferred school of choice.

Appreciate recommendation on which is best approach on this situation. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Visa Category F2A

Emailed NVC expedite case JAN 23, 2023

And it is currently in MANILA

Any idea when they will schedule an interview

Thank you

We are on F3 visa and my family has been documentarily complete since Jan-2021. And its a long wait but this month we have been approved for expedited interview in Manila.

How long would we need to wait for us to be interviewed or schedule an interview?

I am also worried that my son already aged out, what documents do we need to prepare to bring to embassy to show his CSPA age? Our PD is Sep-1999 and my son was documentarily same as mine last Jan2021 but he turns 21yrs old last May2021. Will we still be able to bring him with us?
