US Immigration from Philippines

I didn't include an I-765 with my wife's I-485 packet because I wrongly assumed it wouldn't be that long before her GC was approved. Anyway, before I send it off I'm wondering if I have everything. The I-765 itself, copy of the I797C receipt for the I-485, her I-94, passport bio page, B-2 visas, and the G-1145 to get notified. 2 photos with A number. I think everything else was in the I-485 pack. Actually, I'm not sure if they want some of that but I figure they can toss what they don't need.

Am I missing anything?

I am a Christian and got married in the Philippines, because I did not believe in shacking up. I notice that USCIS encourages I-130 process for all married in the Philippines, and a fianc e requesting their fianc to immigrate.

My problem is, I used the new online system, and spoke to a tier 1 person to clarify I only needed 1 I-130 application.

I submitted 1 added the child, added the I-130a and added the child. 14 months later we were approved, but found out The child was not represented. NVC said i must submit an I-130 for the child, which goes against the rules, but I did it anyway. Now we wait...

What rights do I have to insure they both can (must) travel together?

Good afternoon.this inquiry is for my bro in law in the philippines (f2b visa).we just called nvc to obtain the invoice id # for this case. when we inquired at ceac website,

what does it mean if the summary information says

please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the NVC at this time.please contact NVC if you believe that you have received this message in error.

Has anyone recently requested a replacement CRBA? We have lost the original which was issued 7+ years ago and requested a replacement. Sent all of the documents in August 2020 to the State Dept and the check was cashed on October 15th 2020. However since then, there has been no news or updates. I know everything is running way behind in all aspects of the government, but 6 months to mail a replacement seems like a long time.

Another month another round of AOS submissions. Please be aware that this checklist is NOT all inclusive and you must consult the USCIS website to crosscheck this checklist against/with. The AOS process has been confusing since the pandemic hit, not to mention the added politics. So please I want to stress that you only use this check sheet as a starting point and guide if you will. The USCIS site will be the final guide. Please ensure that you check your forms for the correct versions and editions because if you use the wrong forms USCIS will send back your application to you. This is easily checked on the USCIS website prior to downloading your forms. You should also ONLY download your forms from the USCIS website. The current and correct fees can also be ascertained from the USCIS website.

Be sure to double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase and they can change on a dime so please check. Additionally, check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date, there have been and will be many changes made to various forms. Consider sending tax transcripts instead of the 1040, and W2's. Also consider preparing a cover letter for each form in addition to the main cover letter. Make sure you send long form birth certificates and not the short form. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions.

Please consider filing the I-131 and the I-765 even if you don't think you'll need them right now. You never know what changes your life will have on down the road, so I recommend you file these two forms from the start. There has been much confusion coming out of USCIS, partly due to Covid-19 and partly self-inflicted. This confusion filters on down to the people filing for AOS. The above listing is subject to change at a moment s notice so please check, recheck and check again BEFORE you send off your packet for any last-minute changes.

Congratulations on a successful submission of your AOS packet!
