US Immigration from Philippines

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.?

I m getting ready to file for our removal of condition, do we need to file separate I-750 for me and my daughter who s a minor?

I don't know if I did this right or not. The NVC rejected 2 of my wife's civil documents because they weren't crystal clear, and we got RFE'd. I tried to improve them as best as I could and uploaded new ones. This was on June 1. As of Monday 8/12, the NVC says its working on cases submitted on June 5, but they haven't responded to our June 1 upload. Is there something else I should do besides just upload a fix? Thanks,
