US Immigration from Philippines

Haven't really seen an answer to a situation like the one we're in anywhere. My wife was just naturalized and it came at the worst possible time. She was naturalized on Feb 9th, we applied for an expedited passport the next day on the 10th. We have yet to hear anything back from them. Check was cashed but no update on the status, still says not available as of writing this. We've been in contact with our local representative and will try and get us a same day appointment before our travel date on March 11th. Obviously we no longer have the original certificate of naturalization as it has been sent in for the passport application. We have photo copies of it but aren't sure if that will be good enough even if we are able to get the appointment. Anyone know of what happens in a situation such as this? Thank you

Hi all,

I am 22, and the beneficiary is 23 from The Philippines. We haven't done the I-129F yet, but I know that CFO is something that beneficiaries from The Philippines have to deal with when getting a K-1 Visa. However, I cannot find a concrete explanation of the expectations and requirements from the CFO, especially for people below 25 y/o. Can anyone that has gone through this process explain what is required, and what are reasons for application denial?

hi,

have a question regarding i-864 and submitting your most recent tax return.

since I am petitioning for my spouse abroad, they aren't here in the US, so they don't have a SSN and applying for a ITIN while a possibility just seemed like a huge hassle with having to get a certified passport copy and getting it over to me, etc then mailing all that stuff into the IRS. So, I thought we would just wait until she gets here, delay filing my tax return (of which I am owed a substantial refund, and of which I legally am allowed to delay since I am owed a refund) until she is here and has a SSN and just do married filing jointly.

That means that I (plan) to not have a 2022 tax return submitted until later this year. I do however have all my tax returns going back to 2016 prior to 2022 readily available. I also have worked at my current employer for 6+ years full time and am considerably above the income requirements, have all my W2s and pay statements.

How much of an issue is it that I don't have my last year (2022) tax return? What will happen if I submit an explanation letter, W2s, pay statements for 5 years (with no breaks), and my 2021 tax return instead?

The Salesforce website used by US Embassy Manila has us locked out because of a bad password issue. I have tried 3 times, it says each time that an password email was sent, but no email. I cannot see what's going on with the interview, and I need to communicate with someone in Manila because we have no idea what's going on. On Jan 26, we received what may have been a welcome letter email, which was garbled and electronically trashed, so we don't know what instructions they may have sent us. I have used the online contact form 4 times to get this issue resolved. The first attempt yielded a resend of the exact same garbled email. The next 3 attempts yielded dead air. We are in the dark and unable to find a pulse in Manila. Anyone have a recent and valid email address or phone number? Thanks.
