US Immigration from Philippines

I filed I-130 for my siblings, online. They all start with IO number. The I-797C shows California Service Center, but the case status says they are being process at Nebraska Service Center?

I'm confuse! I didn't get a letter about them getting transferred.

Any thoughts?

Hello all

My wife just got approved for an expedited interview in Manila. I was told by some helpful folks here that she can get her medical prior to getting the interview date set. My question is...can she simply make the appointment and go WITHOUT A VISA APPOINTMENT LETTER?

Also, how long are these medicals good for?

This is for an IR1 (spousal). Thanks!

I just do not want to give her the wrong information. She is very moody and I do not want to deal with her wrath if I am wrong and she goes there for nothing.

I just checked the CEAC site and it shows my status changed to refused as of 10/27/2020. I did make an inquiry with my senator last week to try to get an expedited appointment. Could it have something to with that. Anyway, I on hold with the NVC.

Hello, We were very excited about the process until the phone call from the embassy today. Submitted I-130 for my daughter while I was a LPR. She was 20 at the time the application was accepted and assigned priority date of 3/02/18. My USC husband was unable to petition due to her age over 18. I became a US citizen through naturalization in June 2019 and sent in the obligatory letter to update my daughter's application annotating my newly acquired citizenship. Unexpectedly, on 8/27/2019, I received I-797 Notice type: Approval Notice, Section: Unmarried child (under age 21) of USA Citizen 201(b) INA. We were excited. 11/30/19, received email from NVC advising case creation and providing case and invoice number, instructions to enter CEAC and pay fees and to complete and upload documents. All completed and accepted and the waiting began again when COVID crisis begins. 5/1/2020 NVC sends email stating that they have received all fees, forms and documents that are required prior to attending an interview. NVC to work with Embassy to schedule appointment. 10/8/20 final NVC email arrives stating that they have scheduled an interview at the embassy for 11/5/20. Gather documents, complete medical, register delivery address and report to interview. Today, 10/28/20, embassy calls my daughter to inform her that as she is over 21, her interview is cancelled and she should wait to hear back via email from the embassy. Do not report for the interview. Although we did not expect it, we assume the National Visa Center recognized my change in citizenship and then changed my daughter's status to IR2. We were excited to read about the CSPA protection for a minor child of a USC and that they cannot age out if the petition was filed prior to their turning 21. But now, after the phone call from the embassy, we are back to unknown. Do you think that the change in my status negatively effects the protection of the CSPA? We are hopeful that the email will come with a new interview date. Does anyone have knowledge of this type of situation and outcome. Thank you.

Starting on November 28th, all arriving people to the Philippines will need to download a contract tracing app to their phones. Alot of countries in Asia have already been doing this for many months (China, Singapore, etc) but those countries tend to have well defined or better defined processes than the Philippines. I cannot find it it in the app store as of now, but it may be likely if you do not have the Philippine version of the App Store or Play Store, you may not be able to get it until arrival at the airport.
