US Immigration from Philippines

My filipina wife has been in the US. since 8/5/20 (also her 10 year green card "since date") and we are looking to start gathering information to apply for her citizenship next year (from what we understand). After reading on here we are a little confused on the "90 day rule". Can she actually apply 90 days before 8/5/23 or will she need to wait until at least 8/5/23 to apply for her citizenship test/hearing? Thanks ahead for any information...Jo

Trying to figure out how to play out FIL IR5 with expiring medical.

Both parents went for Medicals in late January with Interview scheduled last week in January

Both popped for Sputum with March 24th as return for results date

MIL got call Feb 24 and in treatment for 6 months

FIL passed March 24th, Medical shows expiring June 24th now

FIL Interviews first week in April, receives 221G for AKA NBI on corrected birth certificate name (original was missing letter in last name)

Responds to RFE April 25th

Status changes to Issued April 27th, no LBC package

Status changes back to Ready May 10th

Status changes to Refused May 16th

LBC package comes with 221G and returned passport now for Different middle initial on marriage certificate (Both mother's names swapped on marriage certificate so it's showing his Mother in law as his mother and middle initial of her last name). 221G requests New NBI with "U" name and letter of explanation.

Respond with new NBI and letter (upload to CEAC and delivered via LBC)

Passport returned along with blank letter (only has his name and address, nothing else) May 27th via LBC

May 29th he goes to embassy, talks to guard, someone came out and spoke with him and took his passport and said they would be in touch as it was an error

Wife calls several times over the next week, they tell her she needs to wait a week for response.....nothing.

June 13th, wife calls embassy, explains still refused, no further 221G or instructions after last blank letter and medical expires in two weeks. Also requests new Health Case Number so he can redo medical

June 14th Embassy calls FIL says they are sending an new 221G for NBI AKA full middle name (last one requested just "U" middle name) and he should receive this week, he mentions medical expiring June 24th

June 16th embassy calls FIL again and says don't wait for LBC to deliver 221G, send new NBI AKA and letter ASAP so they can issue visa

So FIL is supposed to receive the new NBI AKA tomorrow (Friday).

Does it make any sense to send it in this weekend via LBC? If they get it Monday or Tuesday the very best case would be a visa issued Wednesday that expires Friday. He still needs to do CFO PDOS and be on a plane by Thursday to enter on June 24th, an impossible task as I see it.

Better to wait for new Health Case Number and repeat medical?

What if he sends everything in Monday and they issue a visa Wednesday that he can't possibly use? Is that a complete "do-over" to get it re-issued?

His PD is July 2019 so this has been an agonizing process compared to wife's 7 month CR1 back in 2015

Okay folks, we have to do some things in the courts in the Philippines to bring my fianc 's daughter here, I.E. correction of birth certificate, which can take a year or more.

What I need to know, since my fianc will have to stay in this country during the wait for the green card, is how long does it take for a green card to go through after filing? I'm not finding the answer here. I filed in Texas, but the NOA 1 came from California? I kind of need to know a timeline so she can be back in the Philippines to be in court.

I am in Idaho.

Wife and I had our ROC interview earlier today in Newark, NJ. We originally filed back on 11/1/2019. Almost 32 full months.

I am ecstatic to report that, after checking receipt # online, we were approved!

Our agent was no-nonsense but pleasant. Interview took about 15 mins. I was worried we were a bit thin on evidence but he only took about 15 pages of the many we brought. He mostly asked me, the petitioner, the questions, which my wife and I both thought was kinda funny.

At the end, he and my wife talked about the Philippines ( he was also Filipino ) and going back home. My wife really is charming and has such a beautiful smile, it is hard not to be taken by her.

He said he will review further and we should hear from him in a few weeks but 90 mins later, we saw those beautiful words "Your card is being produced" on the screen.

I wish all of those still waiting the best as we all know how excruciating that is. And, thank you so much for everyone on here for helping us to navigate the immigration terrain; it really made a huge difference in the process. All our best to you all!

I saw the embassy website posted that there is no requirement anymore to have a negative covid test to come to the US. This should apply to travel from any country. It will be nice to have one less thing to worry about. The statement says proof of vaccination is still required to travel to the US.
