US Immigration from Philippines

Looks like all we need is:

1. $160 check to USDoS

2. $50 to USPS for app acceptance and Photo

3. Printed DS-11 separate pages 5-6 unsigned.

4. Cert of Citz original and 1 copy.

Is that it? It looks like the Cert of Citz covers both Citz and ID. Is that correct?

can anyone clarify for me the below document requirements for CENOMAR?

Does my spouse filipino spouse required to provide a cinema as required documentation for her interview for me as a US citizen I ve never lived in the Philippines, however we were married in the Philippines.

my interpretation is, she only needs to provide the original copy of my divorce in the state country in which it took place.

As the US petitioner is, she required to provide aCENOMAR for?

About how long are passports taking now? Anyone with recent experience? Our son's came back pretty fast last year, less than a month I think. But how much of a background check can you do on a 3 month old.

Hi, I'm sorry if this isn't the right section to ask in. I just want to ask those who might have had the same experience.

My interview is coming up on May 8, but I haven t scheduled my biometrics appointment at the VAC or my medical exam yet. The passport listed on my DS-260 has already expired (since 2022), and I ve had a renewed passport since then.

The problem is, I called USEM twice, and they just told me to wait for an email because my request to reopen the DS-260 is currently with the Immigration Unit. They said it would take 3 business days, but it has already been almost 3 weeks.

Can I still proceed with my biometrics and medical even if my DS-260 hasn t been updated yet?

Hello,

My wife is registered for her CFO Guidance Counseling Program in Manila. The ID requirements state: Original valid passport and additional two (2) valid IDs. She has a passport and Philippine Identification card. I searched their ID examples and did not come up with much. I have no idea what she could acquire for the other valid ID. It seems like a Passport and Phil. ID would be enough. Are they strict about that 2nd ID? She does NOT have a driver's license or a voter ID. Can you share your experience with the ID's you know have been accepted for the CFO program.

Thank you
