US Immigration from Philippines

Hello,

We received the interview appointment date today, 3/18/21, via email. The interview is in two weeks! Has anyone here did their medical at SLMC recently? How is the procedure with the pandemic? Is it still 2 days? TIA

My wife got her Green Card late in life and only has 3 years of working (12 quarters) at age 66. If she works another 7 years will she qualify for social security on her own at age 73? Right now she collects on mine but do to the WPA she does not get that much. Enough to pay Medicare and an extra $120 a month. Anyone know of anyone else in this situation?

Hello, I have not seen one when I searched, so here's mine:

Sent: September 29, 2020
Priority Date: October 9. 2020
Received by Nebraska USCIS October 27, 2020

USCIS transferred to Texas last time I chatted with Emma.

Still in the waiting game.

You would never know for sure but has anyone tried and felt it improved their processing time? I'm retired so we can live pretty much anywhere we want. Right now we're in Vancouver, WA and the Portland office seems to post some of the slower times. Our I-130 is in Nebraska and the I-485 is at the NBC in Missouri. I'm wondering if they aren't moving because Portland is so backed up? We're actually less than month from being able to submit a case inquiry on the 130. Next month we're moving to San Antonio which has faster times. I was considering leaving our address in WA to keep from rocking the boat and just flying back for biometrics or interview as required. But now I'm thinking changing our address could help.

One problem is that when I look at the I-485 online it says I can't change the address at this stage of the adjudication process. But elsewhere it says I need to file an AR-11 to change my addresses. I'm a bit confused as to whether I can or not.

Anyone knows when the US Embassy in Manila will be open for interviews? Salamat.
