US Immigration from Philippines

I am deeply concerned after reading the replies to this. I m a US Citizen, born in the USA. I am living in the Philippines now for three years, 31 months with my Filipina wife who I married on July 10, 2020. She has 2 children, ages 6 & 8. We plan to go to the States when approved.

I filed One I-130 and one I-130A on June 30, 2021 which was Approved on May 13, 2022. We paid the NVC fees on May 17, 2022, the same day we received the notification from the NVC. My Wife then completed her DS-260 and I completed my I-864 showing a family of 4 and listing my wife and 2 children and we uploaded them on June 10, 2022. Their current Status is Submitted.

My concern is in a response to another question it stated that An I-130 for each child (my step children) and separate fee must be filed for each child. As I stated above I only filed one I-130 and one I-130A listing my wife s 2 children (my step children) in every space asked.

if I was supposed to file 3 forms, one for each, what do I do know since my I-130/I-130A are already approved??? Thanks in advance for your help.

My family is coming over to visit soon. And I'm very confused about this "requirement."

Do they need the COVID travel insurance at all? From Philippines to US, direct flight via PAL.

I'm hearing it's a requirement to depart.. then a requirement to enter US.. so confusing help!

So I took my daughter and wife to local SSA branch yesterday. They allowed me to file app for daughter with her crba document. They said my wife needs a i94. I explained she entered on a ir1 visa and immigrant visa holders don't get a i94 but they insisted she should of received one.

At this point I am a bit lost. Do I have to wait for green card in mail before I can apply for her SSN?

Process of filing petition for spouse

We are ready to pay the Visa Fee for the Beneficiary. The RCBC Business Center TouchQ Machine instructions ask for a "Reference Number", amount and contact number. We are not sure what the reference number is. Is it the receipt number printed on the deposit print-out, or the Confirmation number from the DS-160, that number or what?

There isn't an explanation of it on the deposit page printed out to give the clerk. Does anyone know about the "Reference Number"? thanks for your help. Dave
