US Immigration from Philippines

Good day VJ fam.

We just got our Case number today after we called NVC but we only got 1 case number.

I understand you get 2 case numbers for the K1 and K2.

My question is this also the case number for our K2? (she was included in our I-129f petition).

Do parents need passports before filing I-130 for them?

They are going to get them soon, but they have never had a passport before. I wasn't sure if we should hold off on filing the I-130 until they have passports in hand.

From what I have read it appears passport is only required if they have traveled to the USA in the past. Then the passport/travel document numbers would need to be provided. But I wasn't able to find anything clarifying for sure in the case that they have never had a passport.

My wife's 10 year green card expires 3/2021 ..when should she file the N-400? We wanted to file before the fees change..I read somewhere the fees will increase after December 23rd.

Thanks,

Michael

As you see in the picture her visa was issued on 01 but on 02 it still says refused. Is this normal anyone else see this?

Hi everyone!

Thought I would just share some positive news in light of all the craziness 2020 has brought us. I just visited the Philippine Consulate General Los Angeles site and found the attached notice. The notice indicates that effective 12/07/20, Filipino citizens and their spouses/children (including former Filipinos for that matter) are now exempted from the visa-free suspension! In other words, looks like some of us don't have to submit a crazy amount of paperwork to obtain a visa anymore! Woohoo!

Anyways, happy Monday!
