US Immigration from Philippines

Hello all, What is required for an IR1/ IR2 Interview, copies of your Income Tax Returns, or an actual Tax Transcript from the IRS. The NVC website says Tax Return Copies OR IRS Transcript. Hoping to clarify. Thank you so much.

Hello, My wife and daughter have their IR2 interviews on Jan 21. My daughter was born out of wedlock, w/ me listed as the Father on BC. My wife and I married 4 months later, and we had the Child's birth legitimated through the city registrars office, and have proper documentation of such. My question is...wITH the i-130 and ds 260, etc approved, and NVC stating the child is documentarily qualified, are we good to go in terms of Parental Relationship, or could they still require DNA ? Thank you so much

I used to go to one of our local LBC branches to send for years.

Good exchange rate - High Fee - Inconvenient (have to go to the branch)

Through advice from several members here I switched to Remitly.

Not the greatest exchange rate - No fee if bank account to bank account- Convenient (app is very user friendly and their customer support is great)

In June 2020 (also from advice from members here) I started using Western Union.

Good exchange rate (usually about 1 peso higher than Remitly) - No fee if bank account to bank account - Convenient (app is not as easy as Remitly but works fine)

Both Remitly and WU take about a week for the no fee acct > acct transfer however after about 4 months of transferring through WU the speed has changed. My last 6 (or more) transactions have all been in her bank account next day.

I send about every 2 weeks and at least 1k USD a month, so in 6 months my wife gets over 6k more pesos now that I use WU. To me that adds up and I am happy I switched. As a bonus Remitly noticed I had stopped using them and added 20USD to my account free for my next transfer, so I sent 100USD to mu wife with Remitly to take advantage of that

I just wanted to share in case anyone was interested.

Good day! I just want to ask a question about I-864. I have an interview on January 21, then upon checking the documents I needed to bring with me, I noticed that my husband's affidavit of support is already expired. So he downloded the new form thru USCIS site, but we are having a little debate what name he should put there; whether my maiden or my married name.

He filed I-130 under my maiden name but during NVC stage, I used my married name since that's what I used now in my passport. NVC approved it and changed my name from maiden to married. In the first AOS he submitted, he put my maiden name. My question is, what should he put on the new AOS, my maiden again or my married name? Thank you!!

Hi everyone. I have a question soo since we completed our ds160 and sent many emails to request for an interview we got this feedback "Escalated to Post" for 7mos. My ceac was updated Jan 11, 2021 i didnt check it but Jan 12 i did open and see it was updated. And now i check the CGI then the "feedback" is like this (2nd pic).

It's not really a big deal because i have no idea why it says like that and idk what it mean.

My question is, is that normal? Im a little bit surprise tho.

Thank you.
