US Immigration from Philippines

hi everyone anyone here from Philippines F4 category?

we are Dq yesterday and wanted to know how long to wait for interview in US embassy Manila.

So I am traveling to the Philippine in a couple weeks. My Fiance sold her vehicle to a friend who has graciously agreed to allow us to use the vehicle while I am there (I did help pay the registration of the car). As far as I can tell they only have liability insurance on the car as that is what is required. I want to get a temporary policy for the car during my visit so if something were to happen I would be covered and not on the hook to pay for damages. Driving there is so much more chaotic than here in the US.

So anyone have an idea on how to go about getting a comprehensive insurance plan on this vehicle for the time I will be there?

I am a permanent resident in the US. I have petitioned for wife about 2 years ago. My wife has been documentary qualified over 1 year already. I can't remember off hand but something expired I had to resubmit my affidavit of support and had to make another payment. I was wondering why I needed to make another payment since we were in a pandemic and it was NVC's and US Embassy's fault for the delays if they wanted to point fingers. It's been about 6 months and my wife US still waiting for her interview. What if it goes over a year again and something else expires and they will need me to make another payment? First of all did I need to make the payment when it first expired? And second do I need to make another payment if it expires again in the next 6 months? Sorry I forgot what it was that expired and what I paid for. I'll do a follow up when there are replies. Thank you.

My fiance and I got engaged on May 31, 2022. We've been together for 3.5 years already. We are planning to apply for K-1 visa but we are not sure anymore since the Philippine US Embassy has so many backlogs. Based on what we saw from the timelines here in visajourney, it would take about 1.5 to 2 years before we can be together. So, we are contemplating if the K-1 visa is better or should we just try the CR1 visa because it was said that this visa is given more priority by the US Embassy. But at the same time, CR1 visa is a difficult process and my fiance does not have a lot of break from his full time work to be able to go through the marriage process and everything.

I hope you can share your opinions as to what is the best for us. Thank you.

(Our story: I am 23 Filipina and my fiance is 22 US citizen. We have been together for 3.5 years and have met 3 times (May 2019, Dec 2019, & May 2022). My fiance works as a full time manufacturing engineer and he is still completing his degree of Mechanical Engineering. His salary is above the poverty guideline for 2 person household. We do not have previous marriages, no children of our own and no criminal record.)
