US Immigration from Philippines

Hi everyone,

My wife and I recently got married and are preparing to file the I-485 Adjustment of Status. I ve come across conflicting information online: does she need a new medical exam with updated vaccination records? She previously had a medical exam during consular processing; does this exempt her? Also, do we need to submit any related documents with our application?

Thank you!

Hi All,

My K1 case is in transit this week. I have seen where others say it will take Manila Embassy a few days to be "ready". I tried to pay for the interview but the system says "case not found" so I guess it has to be "ready" in order to pay and schedule. My fiance is doing her medical today at St Luke's.

Has anyone recently made an appointment for Bio & Interview? How many days out are the Bio & Interview appointments?

I would like to make some flight arrangements.

Hello everyone, my Fianc e and I have recently received our NOA2 (February 19th) We have not received any additional updates and our USCIS case number still only says Case Approved . Is this normal that it still has not been sent to the department of state? I know the physical NOA2 says that it was sent but I ve read that this usually isn t the case unless it updates on the case tracker? Does anyone know the next steps I can take or how long I will have to wait for a new update?

Hello, i am a green card holder and my daughter, 20 y/o, is currently here in the US under B2 visa.

can I start the i-130 and i-485 process while she s here?
Will she be considered illegal if she stays here if her papers are pending?
thank you

To sum up, I'm military, married my wife in Japan after I came back to states (so she unfortunately was not on my orders) , submitted K3 visa, approved and they moved in, submitted I-751A and I-751 For my wife and her son on Sept 30 2022. We are still waiting on response, the last item we did was to do Bio metrics (fingerprints) taken for the son on June 12, 2023. The USCIS website shows an average of 25-29 months based off of what branch office you select.

I received an assignment to go back to Japan, I probably will not get my hard copy orders until September or October, with a report date of November.

My question is, if we move to Japan, and my son (age 19) decides to stay and we fly off to the Land of the Rising Sun, will he be able to continue to live in the US under the I-751A? (if the conditions aren't removed by the time we leave...)

My wife and son don't want to give up their citizenship, hence the visa. In Japan they are given until 21 for them to decide if they are going to stay a Japanese citizen or not. So we do not want him to rush things due to him living most of his life in Japan.

Thanks for the advice.
