US Immigration from Philippines

My sons are 9 and 11. Everything is done, interveiws are on January 6th. I'm not sure about the process for CFO's. I thought it would be better information to just ask all of you. We're in Tacloban City. I read the kids don't have to come, but we can't do the seminar until we have visa stamped passports.

I've been reading on what the process is for getting my wife's kids their citizenship and it might as well be written in Greek to me. I'm a multi generational U.S. citizen. My wife of 6 years has been a U.S. citizen for over a year and now her kids (ages 12 & 14) are here and we are trying to figure out the process of getting their U.S. citizenship. It's not clear to me if we need to do the same process as she went through to get her citizenship or is it much more simple and quicker? Thanks ahead for any advice...Jo&Ro

Hello all,

I recently married my fiancee (now wife) after her arrival in the US with her K1 visa and just sent all the paperwork (I-486, I-765, and I-864) that I should need today. Not too worried as I am 99% sure I filled everything out correctly and sent the evidence and payments that were needed. I wanted to send everything out before the 90 days and was just wondering peoples experiences with next step with this process. I had to send mine to the Phoenix Lockbox so if anyone had to send theirs there would greatly appreciate it. I did send it via USPS priority express (just to make sure it got there) and since its the holiday season I don't expect too much on the beginning of my processing. Just wanted to see people good and bad experiences and time frames for everyone. Thank you to everyone who replies.

Matt

Hi,

I received notification on the USCIS website that a request for additional evidence has been sent to me. What is the additional evidence they are looking for? Thanks
