US Immigration from Philippines

I have a 19, 16, 13, 10 year old's. When it says original documents, will I need multiple copies of PSA marriage certificate, one for each of them? Do the affidavits of support need to be mailed to me, or can they be printed from computer? I have a letter stating that Manila is willing to expedite our cases, as soon as we have DQ on each. But I am confused on appointments, do we just wait or do we sign in somewhere and make our own appointments. Does each child get their own appointment or do the younger ones interview with me? Sorry for all the questions.

Hi everyone! Quick question, on the I-130 form where it asks for the address history of the petitioner and beneficiary, do we include our short visit to the US where we stayed at my mother-in-law's house (same address that my husband uses as his mailing address in the US) for 3.5 months? I (spouse beneficiary) went there on a tourist visa. Thanks in advance for your guidance!

So I have a Filipina friend, a friend of my wife, and so the friend is going through a divorce. She's been sent divorce papers, nearly 2 months ago. She is still in the Philippines and the marriage was aborted (divorce papers filed) during the NVC stage. The husband is a servicemember in the Armed Forces, and repeat infidelity was involved. The soldier was even demoted over it. But it is my understanding that under Texas Law, where the papers were filed, she is still entitled to 1/2 his pay after taxes as a dependent, during the time they were married, and she shouldn't sign any divorce papers until she has had a hearing in court. The remittance records over the last 2.5 years show paltry sums to support her and her daughter (who is not a daughter of the soldier, who is on his 3rd marriage). So my question is, how much of a case does she really have, and what is the best way to go about getting an attorney, and can she find an attorney to work for no money up front in Texas? She would like to just have enough money to pay a Filipino lawyer to recognize the divorce, and enough for the Agent fees to go work again in Korea, where she met him. I think if she presents a little resistance, she should be able to get a reasonable settlement. But maybe I'm wrong. I have little knowledge about these things, so I ask the community.

Good evening everybody,

It's been a year since we received our welcome letter, we were documentarily qualified back in August 17, 2021 and we were just told that there is no available date yet for the visa interview. Our priority date is on December 24, 2002. From what I understood from the welcome letter, it states we should contact NVC for a year otherwise, no contact would lead to the entire process being terminated. Should I call NVC and tell them about our situation?

Recently we were knocked backwards on the processing of our Adjustment of Status. As you are aware the initial cost for the processing of the AOS is $1225.00 USD. What is not as well known is the cost of processing the I-693, that document, which is seldom discussed here on VJ, proved to be very costly, We originally paid in excess of $450,00 for the first I-693, but to our surprise after our AOS interview we receive a poorly written RFE requiring that we submit a new I-693. This second I-693 cost over $850.00. Not only the money, but up to a 90 day delay in processing the AOS. All of this through no fault of our own. When you are wondering if a K-1 is for you, or a CR-I would work better you need to consider the cost and frustration of K-1 processing.
