US Immigration from Philippines

My wife has sole custody of her two children. She is a permanent resident. We are still waiting for their appointment date. NVC has accepted their documents.

On the website, it says,. "Yes. Applicants under the age of 20 must attend their visa interview with at least one parent. If the child is an orphan, or both parents are outside the Philippines, a legal guardian must accompany the child."

My wife is outside the Philippines. She is in the USA as well as I am. The father has no custody and no contact with the children.

For me to attend the interview, what kind of documentation would I need to bring?

What are people doing to keep busy in the Philippines during the pandemic? My fianc e is really struggling to stay positive and optimistic.. We haven't seen each other for a year and a half now and we filed for K1 at the end of 2019.

She's stuck in a small studio apartment with two young kids. Because of the pandemic, they really aren't allowed to go anywhere. It feels like a prison to them. Because in person school is not happening, the kids are both attending online. It's a private school based out of Manila and it's all English. Because of this her non-English speaking parents aren't able to help out during the day so she can work.

She's starting to get super upset and blame others... Mostly myself for her situation. She's tired of waiting, she wants to be able to work and she keeps making selfish statements such as the kids need to suffer so she can have what she wants. She has a Bachelors degree and has tried looking for online work. The problem is the availability requirements want her working in the middle of the night or when the kids have class.

I'm getting tired of hearing her complain and have these fits every month. I don't know what to do for her.

Things sure do changed once they get here to the states starting to regret doing this journey the true one is now showing itself, after not seeing each other for 2.5 yrs you would seem to think you would be happy to finally be in the arms of your SO but wow. Not even 3 weeks yet and already wants to find a job instead of being together for awhile and enjoy a new land. No huggy no kissy nothing. Does even have SS card yet and things are changing drastically.

1) Does anybody know about how long it takes for the NVC to schedule an interview in the Manila Embassy for the F22 visa category (children of permanent residents)? Our documents were all approved over one month ago.

2) When an appointment date is scheduled, how far out can we push it back? Ideally, we would like to attend the interview in April or May of next year.

3) Can I, the husband of the petitioner, attend the interview for the children, or only the biological mother (my wife)?

Thanks for any responses.

I filed the AOS ( marriage based) in November 2019. As of today ( 8/17/2021),the status is still the same - "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview". As of January 21, 2020, we are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number MSC2090*******, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Just want to know if we have a similar case or waiting longer than mine. Where can I possibly check the real status of my case? Please advise if I can call the USCIS or I'll just wait? Thanks.
