US Immigration from Philippines

Hello. any VJ members here requested for expedite? I sent mine April 30 and still no update yet. Only the auto reply on same day. Appreciate if anyone can share your timeline for expedite.

Thanks.

Just asking about good old Manila Consular Section. Anybody had any recent contact or lack of contact with them? I notice their email (ivmanilareplies@state.gov) inbox is now rejecting as: FULL, not accepting NEW emails. So they went to an on-line inquiry system https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/immigrant-visa-inquiry-form/ . But, seems they don't have the available manpower or priority to answer the mail. Or maybe just not my mail... With the new system, you have no real proof of submission. Having the wife express courier my written letter for interview to them tomorrow.

We are IR1 and IR2. Expedite approved 20 Dec 2020. Interview 18 Mar 2021. Step-son passed medical (3/4 Mar) and went to interview and got a 221(g) - "send back your passport on 2GO courier when mother is approved." Wife failed x-ray (50% will, right...) and went to the sputum test procedure and waited the one week plus four days plus eight weeks. Of course it was negative (over 90% are, right....) on 7 May. SLEC said (after me asking) they uploaded results on the electronic medical system on 11 May. Embassy showing no concern about the interview of the wife after four messages. Too many, right...

I did not realize the step-son has no right for immigration unless the parent is approved for immigration. Now, I am still unsure about age-out versus Child Protection Act when its in the hands of NVC/Consular Officer and not USCIS. He turns 21 on 23 Aug 2021. We also have a FILAM son who needs to start 12th grade in the USA on or about 11 Aug. I will probably have him fly by himself on or about 30 Jun if this continues to be a never ending saga.

I m trying to fill out the form to petition my father and it s asking for travel document number but he lost his old passport and he does not have that information. It s been 11 years since the last time he was here in the US as a tourist visa. Would it be a problem if I leave it blank?

Hi,

I'd like to know what are the requirements and where can I find details on how to know what to do before visiting the US with a tourist visa? My relative/sister in law got fully vaccinated and someone told her that her vaccine which is sinovac is not accepted in the USA. Is this true? I've never heard of such. I'd like to know info about it and know where to ask.. can someone help?

Thank you very much
