US Immigration from Philippines

Does the IOE number change at all

Hello all,

Brief outline of my K-1 petition.

NOA1 - Jan 2020

NOA2 - Sept 2020

Stuck at NVC Since

Filed Mandamus Lawsuit Jan 2021

So, yesterday in a classic bad news drop move, Friday evening around 5pm one of my lawyers assistants emailed me suggesting we withdraw our mandamus lawsuit, saying a couple of other similar cases have lost, and they want to withdraw and refile in another jurisdiction.

My initial response was changing venues wouldn't change the case law, and it smelled like a delaying tactic, to just keep me in a holding pattern for another 6 months, which by then the backlog is being reduced.

I responded with the need was to challenge the core issue, which is has the state departments actions in the face of COVID-19 been reasonable? If we compare them to other industries, who managed with social distancing, masks, and remote work, are the state department's actions reasonable?

I don't see how changing venues is going to help me, other than to play pure politics with it and see if a red state will rule along these lines, but this is my own idea, and my lawyer won't explain it to me, at least not on the weekend.

Any opinions either way? I told my lawyer he gets paid to fight, win or lose, but not to run. Am I the @sshole?

Metro Manila is going back to ECQ Aug 6. I easily get confused by all the different CQ's but I believe ECQ is where things get more problematic. Might shut down Philippine government services and create headaches for people needing to get to medicals and such.

Good Day Everyone,

Me and my family just flew back to the US, Me and our 2 kids are all US Citizens, except for my wife who is on a Tourist Visa. What would be our first step to have her status changed eventually to a Permanent Resident? Is it to file an I-130 even though she's here in the US already? Or directly file I-485? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I'm am stuck on a certain field for the I-129F and I was wondering if I can get some answers. Page 3, Part 1, Item number 25. where it asks you to list your Province or State of Birth. I am a naturalized citizen and the issue is I was born in the capitol city of my birth country and the capitol city has no associated province or state. It is categorized as its own thing as far as I can tell. Should I leave it blank or put N/A? Should I also put in an additional explanation in Part 8. I'm afraid if I don't put in an actual state/province I'll get an RFE for missing information. Am I wrong to assume the USCIS agent looking at my application will not know the intricacies of how states/provinces are organized in my country? I feel like I may be too paranoid about this.

I was born in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam if that helps.
