US Immigration from Philippines

During the processing of our K1 Visa in the Philippines my wife had to undergo three test for TB. The first time St. Lukes claimed she had the mysterious white line on her lungs caused us to get caught up in the approaching Covid crisis when they put her in the culture testing protocol. She was of course negative. This caused us to not having enough time to get out of the country. Then the Embassy allowed the medical to expire and once again St. Lukes made her go through the entire Sputum protocol even though she was negative. Protest lead to another test and more time wasted on the culture requirements. The final straw came when in November 2020 the Embassy three days after receiving the latest results from St. Lukes told my wife she had to get another physical. I called time out and went to my Senator to intervene. After the visa was issued we thought we were done with St. Lukes but much to our shock we were contacted by the Texas State Health Commission in January 2021, and told that due to the failed TB testing in the Philippines my wife have to be tested again. Part of this process required being isolated until the test was completed. On the 22nd of March we were notified that my wife was negative for TB, just as she had been the previous three times. St. Lukes has stolen over 6 months of our lives with the testing game as well as costing us over $1600.00. Were we retaliated against by St. Lukes for actively protesting the TB testing, who knows. We can only hope that this NIGHTMARE is finally behind us.

We had something happen to us that is very unusual today. Back in August 2020 we got an RFE for the I-944 which I resubmitted. Our case status was set to "RFE Received" for the longest time. Now our case status is showing as the follows,

"My Case Was Rejected Because it Was Improperly Filed.
In August 2020, we rejected your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence because it was not filed correctly. We mailed your case back to you, including any supporting materials and fee"

Is this something to be worried about? Any other I-944 RFE filers run into the same issue? We already replied to the RFE back in August. What's also interesting is on the same day we received an interview date for our EAD.

For anyone who has filed a K-1 Visa for a Filipino beneficiary, there is big news on our Facebook group. We need your support and involvment!

Hi!

Did anyone experience the same issue? Due to the pandemic, our K1(Fianc visa) CEAC status has been changed to refused even without us going through any interview. There was no notification or e-mail sent out and we have no information on why there was a refusal.

Any information will be of great help! Thanks!
