US Immigration from Philippines

My wife who is 10 year green card holder filed i130 for her 2 kids both unmarried and in their early 20's. She file April of 2020 it changed from we received April 18,2020 to we received July 15th 2020. So today I refreshed the app, like I do about once a month and today it updated again. from we received April 18,2020 to we received May 23,2021 no approval just that date change. Any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance

Hi There,

I have not been in this forum in a long time. I started my visa journey in 2006 and I came here in the US in 2007. I am so thankful for all the information that I got here that made my visa journey successful. I am now planning to petition my mother to come here in the US. The first problem that I am encountering is that my mom does not have a record of her Birth Certificate in the Philippines which is needed to be able to get her passport. I requested a copy of her birth certificate from Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and what we got was a Record of No Birth. I found out that if you were born on or before 1950 you don't need a birth certificate just the PSA Authenticated Certificate of No Birth Record and Affidavit of Two disinterested persons attesting to the identity of the applicant to get a passport. So, my question is will it be a problem when I start sending the requirements for the petition documents? Would I still need to do a delayed registration of birth for my mother?

Would greatly appreciate to hear from anyone who had a similar situation with mine. I will be happy to hear your parents visa journey. Thank you for taking time. Looking forward to hear from you all.

Hi Everyone,

We are about to submit our paperwork for AOS from B2 Visa. What is the most practical way of doing a last name change after marriage (in terms of timing and cost)?

• Can we do it while AOS is being processed or is it better to do it after getting the green card?
• What costs and/or forms are needed for a name change? (We live in Maryland but got married in DC)
• Any other tips/considerations

Thanks!

Greetings, my spouse arrived in the U.S 5 weeks ago and still waiting on her green card. How long does it usually take for green card to be sent out to the address of record?

Hopefully this actually happens, but how many people will bring fake documents to get into the Philippines? I might go to the local Philippine embassy to get my visa before traveling if they do open it up.

With the UK opening up to vaccinated travelers it's only a matter of time for the rest to follow.
