US Immigration from Philippines

Thank you to all who offered their knowledge on my N-400 journey. I got my citizenship in less than 13 months. To all of you who are on this same path I wish you all the best.

Anyone with the same category (F2B or FB1) who got interviewed recently at the US Embassy in Manila? What are your priority and DQ dates?

Hello everyone.

Totally new to the site and the journey. Any suggestions / information is appreciated.

This is in regards to the Manila Embassy (Philippines)

Is the Petitioner allowed to attend the interview with the Beneficiary?

How long does it typically take from visa approval to delivery of passport?

I would like to be with my fianc e for her interview, and then fly to the US with her.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I have a bit of a situation with the I-129F and I'm not sure how to proceed. It says that if you were ever arrested or convicted, to attach certified copies of the arrest record and court case records. That's where I'm having a difficult time understanding what I need to provide.

My situation:

1. In December 2017 I was falsely accused of sexual assault and arrested. I spent one day in jail, was released on bond, and then had one court appearance (initial appearance) while the state continued its investigation. At no point was I ever officially charged. The case was dropped very soon after this due to lack of evidence and removed from the online court records.

After reading the I-129F form instructions, I believed that I would need to provide records of both this arrest and the outcome of the court case. However, I am unable to get the disposition document, since according to the court clerk, "no charges were ever technically filed so no disposition document is available". They did mention they had other court documents available pertaining to this incident.

2. In July of 2017, I was arrested for disorderly conduct. I was released the same day, with a fine, which I paid.

After reading the I-129F form instructions, I believed that I would need to provide a record of this arrest.

Here's my question:

Do I need to provide the above with my I-129F based on the information I stated? I would like to clarify before I pay for the arrest records and court records.

THANK YOU!

On the UStraveldocs website it says that anyone over 2 needs a negative test to fly to the US. However my Fiance might have to get it done possibly 2 days out. During her interview last month she had to get a follow up covid test at the main hospital in Manila and it took TWENTYFOUR hours to just be seen. I would like her to do it in her home town before she leaves for Manila. They are driving down and not flying into Manila to leave. Has anyone had someone come over and deal with this? She's vaccinated and can get a test in her home town but the time table is what is worrying me. Would they flag it at the airport if it was 2 days before instead of 1?
