US Immigration from Philippines

Good day everyone!

I called the USCIS and requested to expedite my AP (K2 FTJ) we are expecting to bring my children later this year. We don't have plans yet and can't make one without AP.

The USCIS asked me what my reason and purpose are to expedite and obviously to travel back and forth for their medical exam, visa interview and bring them to the US and she responded like she didn't know it's possible to expedite my AP in such circumstances. Anyway, I was on hold for 55mins or over an hour just to talk to someone and I'm glad I did, that why I'm anxious and couldn't make a proper question. So, I have to wait 7 days for their (USCIS) response I hope it goes well. I'm curious how many here in VJ expedite their AP to travel back to their home country and bring their children in the US, my husband was frustrated and said, "they should have known that you need to bring your children later this year cos the consul asked you that during your visa interview". My parents couldn't handle the travelling for my children's processing due to their old age and the risk of covid too.

Thanks.

As is the case with everything we do, my wife's trip back to Manila has become an adventure.

First: The flight was delayed out of Orlando, and for whatever reason they put her on the next day's flight. Then her overweight bag (Filipinas bring home tons of stuff for the family) flew off to LAX without her. (Where, as far as I can tell, it still sits).

The next day her flight was delayed by 5 hours again, causing her to miss her connection with Asiana Airlines. American rebooked her on Philippine air out of SFO. She got to LAX, and shuttled her to SFO. After a 6 hour wait she went to board.

Unlike Asiana Airlines, Philippine Airlines wouldn't accept her passport in her maiden name and denied her booking. (Why the Philippine flag carrier wouldn't take one of their own citizens home blows my mind). After I had a yelling match with a really annoying AA call center agent who insisted on talking over me and treating me like an idiot, I got another agent who was very helpful. He rebooked her on Asiana thru Seoul, but it was another 5 hour wait in SFO, and then a 16 hour layover in Inchon. She got to Inchon and all the in-terminal hotels were booked. (She couldn't leave without a Korea visa). All of the showers were closed due to COVID.(A bit insane) She found a nap room and slept a bit.

As of an hour ago, she FINALLY boarded her flight to Manila. She's exhausted (as am I).

Now I worry about her coming home. Her ticket is in her married name (as is her green card). Her passport is in her maiden name. I'm hoping that's good enough for the USA trip back.

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.
