US Immigration from Philippines

Hello,

I am trying to register two IR2 visa holders for this.

They are asking for the following:

1. Valid Passport; - we have this.

2. Valid Visa or Visa Grant Notice; - we have this

3. Valid ID; - can we use the passports? (they are minors aged 14 and 10).

4. Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR for Canada-bound migrants); and - Contract (for EB3 visa). - Visa grant notice (page showing visa class for NZ and Australia bound migrants). - what should we use for the United States? I have heard of the Immigrant Data Summary, but we never received this.

5. Additional requirements for Minor registration (12 and below). - birth certificate; and - biological parent's valid ID. - If not biological parents, submit SPA/notarized authorization letter of proxy other than the biological parents, and proxy's valid ID with photo and signature. - the children are illegitimate so can we only use the mother's valid ID - she is also the petitioner.

We filed our Form I-751 today. Application was sent to Chicago via Fedex. Which service center does this belong to? Or would I know the service center handling my application after receipt of NOA from USCIS? Thank you!

Hi, I want to bring my parents to the US. Can you share what are the requirements for tourist visa? Is there anyone here who brought their parents to the US? How s the embassy interview?

I appreciate your comments.

Hello, when is the right time to apply for US citizenship? I got my conditional permanent green card in 2019 and permanent green card in 2021. Been a pemanent resident here for more than 3 years and married with my US citizen husband.

Hello everyone,

"Payment for the immigrant fee to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must be made online prior to departure for the U.S. at https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee. If you move to another address after your arrival, you should update your information at https://egov.uscis.gov/coa/displayCOAForm.do. The Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551 or Green Card ) will be mailed to this address within 45 days upon arrival and will serve as proof of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status."

We received this message in the email after passing the IR2 interview. However, the USCIS website says that you may pay the fee after arriving to the United States - USCIS - Immigrant Fee - USCIS Immigrant Fee "You may also pay the fee after you arrive in the United States. If you arrive in the United States and haven t yet paid the USCIS Immigrant Fee, USCIS will send you a payment notice with instructions on paying your fee. You will not receive your Green Card until you have paid the USCIS Immigrant Fee.".

We don't want to pay it because both of the parents (my wife and myself) of the IR2 applicants are U.S. citizens and to our understanding they can directly become citizens while skipping the necessity of receiving a greencard.

In any case, is it true that the USCIS fee must be paid prior to arriving to the U.S.?
