US Immigration from Philippines

My trip next month is fast approaching, I just received my 9a visa from the Philippine consulate here in Houston. I am hoping the drop the LGU requirement for Bacolod but not holding my breath, they are alert level 2 for covid and still have not dropped the S Pass requirement. Does anyone have experience with dealing with their LGU and how does airport pick up work? I have seen some YouTube videos saying the LGU picks you up from the province airports. There is just so much conflicting information out there on the LGU's and each one is different.

Hello vj members I really need your input to help mellow me out. My CEAC status shows issued since Oct 20 got even an email from Manila IV info informing me that I have been issued a visa. The next day again I received an with the same wording. What's worrying me is that gonna be 7 days yet haven't received my passport. Is this normal? I tried by all means to locate my passport but nothing showed up.

Hi guys! I'm new here. I just wanted to share my experience and hoping to hear from others who's going through a similar process with me. We hired an attorney for I-130 ( I'm a spouse of a US citizen) and i601-A Provisional Unlawful Presence and here's my timeline so far:

1) Submitted the I-130 on May 26,2021

2) Received receipt on June 10,2021

3) Approval received on July 11,2021, only 31 days after the receipt notice! Service center was Nebraska office and during the application the time frame for approval was 3-7 months so we just got super lucky that it got approved so fast, and we did not request expedited service.

SECOND PART IS THE WAIVER:

1) Submitted the I-601A Waiver on October 6,2021

2) Receipt date October 11,2021, Field office is at Potomac Service Center (estimated approval time is about 29 to 36 months) ------(UPDATES TO FOLLOW)-------

PLEASE if you're a 2018,2019,2020 I-601a filer, I would like to ask if you could share your experiences too like when did you submit the i-601a waiver, biometric appt, and how long it took to get your i-601a approval. It's very stressful and very uncertain and I wish it won't take years for me but I know we all need to wait in line and trust the process but if you guys could share some insight I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much!!

That could have a double meaning in our case. Our I-129 was approved on June 12, 2020. A little while ago we started wondering more seriously about getting a touristy visa for my fiancee to the US. But according to the embassy the current wait time for visitor visas is 512 days.

Can anybody verify that?

Well, they made it out. In the air bound for Singapore en route to Los Angeles. Which may seem a counterintuitive route until you consider that from parts of Luzon it is faster and more convenient to reach Singapore from Clark than it is to reach NAIA by car. A few hundred bucks cheaper too but mainly just more convenient. As she was boarding the Scoot Air flight from Clark to Singapore it turned out that there are two pilots, four flight attendants, plus all the check in, immigration, security and the entire Clark Airport staff, baggage handlers, and crews to service an A320, which was the only flight at the time.... All in order to transport my wife, her daughter, and the one other passenger. Bringing it to a total of three apparent passengers for the entirety of Clark Airport at the time. It doesn't seem very busy. But, they are on the way. They made it out.
