US Immigration from Philippines

Our CR1 case is in NVC right now. Here's a quick timeline. Just want to run this by you folks to alleviate any concern.

Jan 21st, 2022 - Submitted all NVC docs starting the timer

Jan 24th - Tax season started

Jan 29th - Filed 2021 taxes

April 15th - Tax deadline

April 18-26 - anticipated window of time we'll get DQ'd

We submitted our 2021 W-2 because I had that at the time, but not our 2021 tax transcript because we could not file yet. We do have our 2021 tax transcript now. On our I-864EZ, where it asks for income for the most recent 3 tax years, I listed 2020, 2019, and 2018.

Logic dictates we will not have any problems because it would have been impossible to provide our 2021 tax transcript at the time we filed, and we will be asked to provide it at the interview instead. But NVC is not perfect and I wonder whether we are running a risk of being asked for our 2021 tax info regardless. Our case would be one of the first with no 2021 taxes uploaded to be reviewed after the tax deadline. Do we run any risk of receiving an RFE instead of a DQ? Is it worth someone in this scenario trying to upload 2021 tax info in the 'Other' category since it is said that will not reset the timer?

My mom's case is at NVC since 2020 July. Is there any news of any interview scheduled recently in US Embassy Manila Philippines for this category? Her priority date is June 24, 2019 my moms visa is IR5.

Is there anybody here the same case as my mom?

My green card expired. Didn't even realized that it expired because of all this pandemic stress. I already applied to renew it. They received it Feb. 8 of this year. In the uscis website it shows estimated time until case decision. I was feeling confident that it will be quick. Last week it was showing as "1 week" until decision. This week, wording changed to "Your next milestone: receive your case decision."

My problem is... My driver's license is going to expire at the end of the month. I am be really hoping that card will come just in time for me renewing my driver's license. But I feel really nervous and panicky now.

What should I do?

I'm going back to Manila in a few days to see my father, who is currently in the ICU.

I'm fairly certain I've got a handle on the latest requirements, but if someone knows otherwise, please let me know:

1. Pre-departure COVID test: I'll get an antigen test at a testing clinic at my airport of departure according to these IATF guidelines:

• "Present a negative Reverse Transcription- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test taken within forty-eight (48) hours, or a negative laboratory based Antigen test taken within twenty-four (24) hours, prior to the date and time of departure from the country of origin/first port of embarkation in a continuous travel to the Philippines, excluding lay-overs"

2. Travel insurance: required only for my US citizen husband, not for me as a Filipino citizen with a green card

3. One Health Pass and Traze registration: required for both of us

4. USCs are allowed 30 days visa-free entry again. This matters because my husband is joining me in a few weeks.

5. The usual stuff: flight, passport with 6+ months of validity, valid GC

I was attempting to post this in the Philippines column but I couldn t figure out how to do that so I will do it here. My fianc e is in the Philippines and we are working on the k1 process. 2 questions and I ask this here because I m not sure if my lawyer is correct. The secretary just sent me an email stating that my fianc e did not need to do the medical unless the Manila consulate officer deemed it necessary and she would have to do the medical once she applied for adjustment of status here in the states. Is this the actual case? I m concerned about where my lawyers secretary is getting this information. Also I am confused about the affidavit of support. Once again my lawyers secretary is stating that I don t do the affidavit of support until the adjustment of status. But there is the form i134 that needs to be done for the Manila consulate interview. I m hoping someone can tell me what the actual case is. She is now saying that my fianc e and I can go ahead and schedule the k1 visa interview and as I mentioned earlier, don t have to do the medical exam unless the consulate officer deems it necessary. I hope someone can tell me what I really need to do.
