US Immigration from Philippines

I submitted my wife's I-130 online in mid September. I wanted to hold on the I-485 until the physical was done and got to that in October. But the package kicked back because I didn't know it needed an I-944. In mid December I resubmitted the AOS package with the 944 and I got the receipt notice last week. It's interesting that the priority date is listed as September 17th which jives with the I-130. So maybe I didn't lose any time with all the messing around with the physical. Anyway, I tried to add the receipt number to my USCIS account but it says it's attached to another account so I made my wife an account and try to attach it there. It's ok with that except it wants an Access Code which was not on the receipt. Is that something we get later? If that's the case, about how long is it from receipt to access code?

Thanks and Salamat

Anybody get an expedited K1 interview in Manila based on a CRBA interview being scheduled?

I've seen online some couples go through this process, but their K1 case was already transferred to the US Embassy in Manila before the CRBA process was started.

Our K1 case is at NVC, so I'm wondering if they would send it to Manila if we have a CRBA interview scheduled, anyone in the same situation as us?

Sharing this in case it's useful to others who need to reschedule their passport renewal appointments.

I'm moving my appointment from my current slot in Feb 2020 to April 2020, after my US trip.

The first time I tried to reschedule this morning, there were no available slots in any passport renewal centers in Manila. They are fully booked from Jan-April 2020. Fine, I logged out.

I checked again just a few minutes ago, and lo and behold, DFA Aseana suddenly had slots open every day from Feb to April! I successfully changed my appointment schedule without any hassle or additional fees. The DFA website will let you reschedule up to 2 times.

I hope this helps anyone else who needs to reschedule.

The last time my fianc called and emailed the Embassy was lastweek, no autoreply from his email and they hang up when my fianc calls.

I don't know exactly their plans to our petition it's been over a year and it's frustrating.

I'm so stressed out, my medical will expire tomorrow and no words from them.

Hello, VJ friends!

I have been browsing here for quite a time. I have not encountered a topic about filing online vs mailing the ROC and evidences.

I would highly appreciate if there are people here who can share their experience filing online and thru mail.

I will be filing my ROC come October 2021.

Thank you!
