US Immigration from Philippines

Well here goes our window opens in a few days first week of the New Year (January 4th, 2022!) I'll be sending the packet off January 5th, gonna use UPS as FedEx has been messing up lately (I used FedEx both times before without a hitch). The packet is 99.7% finished just waiting on a final December bank statement and I'm done! Nothing like a fresh New Year to start things off. Seems like yesterday we were struggling with the K1 and then the AOS. I did manage to submit both prior packets without the assistance of a lawyer, and no RFE (knock on wood). Those of you that remember we even got a wavier for the AOS interview. I loaded this packet with everything but the kitchen sink, perhaps we can get lucky again like with the AOS and have no interview for ROC, stranger things have happened! If there is an interview won't be a big deal we'll deal with it as it comes. So Happy New Year and I'll start this thing off:

This by no means is the gospel, it is just the way I chose to do our packet and it works for us. Thought I would share for those of you who are not sure what format to use. Pick and choose it always works! here is the cover letter I went with:

xxxxxxx X, xxxx

The packet is fairly thick so thick I used two pieces of cardboard as a backing to the keep the packet or book some might call it rigid. I used ACCO fasteners, sticky tabs on the inside and dividers. I will attach pictures of the packet here:

The blue pieces paper represent bookmarks and will be removed, they were used by me to assist in adding more content ( I have been working on this thing since October 2021 and I am glad I started early as I got to take my time. I'll do a final check on the I - 751 form to see whats current, sign it, add the check then off to UPS on the 5th of January 2022.

To some this might be overkill, but I wanted to give myself every chance for success the first time! Good luck to all the January 2022 filers. We all can do this, we got this folks. I just wanted to share with everyone who might be drawing blanks!

Hope everyone has heard from their family members affected by the Odette. My house/garage/worker's house, we're all leveled by my worker and his family and my wife's family are all OK so I'm happy.

We are working on the paperwork for the green card application and will send it once her birth certificate gets here. Thankyou for telling me we didn't have to wait for the K1.

Would I be able to expedite my K1 case due to the typhoon destroying and making my fianc e home uninhabitable?

I finally booked an interview for my fiance jan 13! it was the only day and I grabbed it! The schedule doesn't even show any other days available at all. I wanted to try to postpone it a little or move it the end of the month but no luck. I also don't want to risk losing it.

But........

However one of her police clearances has expired (she got this one twice and it's from Dubai which is a colossal pain to get) and her cenomar has expired (this will be the third time she's even gotten one) I'm trying to call the embassy to see if there is any leeway in letting her still do the interview with those two things being that way. She hasn't left the country since I started this process. Her passport can attest to that. Has anyone had to deal with this? Was the embassy forgiving on that part? She still has all the documents of the times she's done this. I was originally booking her appt for April of 2019. They have to take that into account.

She did renew her nbi and start a new Cenomar but they say it might not be ready til January 16th. Her interview is the 13th.

Anyone have any experience with this?
