US Immigration from Philippines

Apologies if someone has asked this question already. USEM is still close at the moment and when you call you get the same answer as they cannot book you an interview appt still but they do a few visa interviews according to the agent I spoke to on the phone last time I rang. I have read quite a lot of people requested to expedite and got interview appt in Manila. However, most of them if not all are applying for spousal visa. In fact, a friend of mine has been given an interview appt in mid Sept and she is now in the US.

I m a K1 beneficiary with a US citizen child who is now turning 3 this year bless him. Partner has been deployed in 2018 so we applied mid 2019. Got my case ready in USEM March but due to the lockdown wasn t able to get medical & interview appt.
Can anyone please share their thoughts on what to prepare to do this request? My friend said email NVC but also read I can directly email embassy Manila. Any thoughts is greatly appreciated x

Genius.....

Hey guys,

Pandemic got you down? Wondering where to spend all your gobs of cash during these boring pandemic times? Have you been looking for a place where people are the most desperate right now?

Well worry no more, now for the low low price of only $75,000.00 USD you can buy your very own private bribery urhmmm 'Investment Visa" into a country where the economy has crashed due to an inept government and where it's people are desperately struggling!!!!

Our only no, no's are the following - No Sexually transmitted diseases and No felons - (So if you want to "pay to play" come on in)

Have fun at the Neeeeeeewwwwww Casa da iniquidade filipina!!!!!!!!!!

Visa valid until your Funds run out.

Hi! Anybody here processing a replacement visa for expired visa due to COVID? I got the response below. My question is how would I submit a new application online when it's already completed? Please advise what to do I'm so confused in all these. What is the timeline for the process be like? Should I mail the expired visa first? How to schedule the medical? Thank you all for your help.

Applicants will need to submit a new application (DS-260) and pay another immigrant visa application processing fee. In addition, the applicants may need to submit new supporting documents, such as a new medical examination and police certificate. Please return the unused, expired visa and visa package (if applicable) to the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines once 2GO resumes services. Requests to reissue or replace visas are considered on a case-by-case basis, and all applicants are required to re-establish their eligibility; there is no guarantee that the applicants will receive new visas.

Last 2017 i was issued a 10 year tourist visa, with multiple entry in US embassy, Manila, PH. Then last February 2020 we applied for IR1 visa. Currently my case is At NVC and is already DQ. Just waiting for the interview schedule. My questions are:

What should I expect during the interview with my case that I have a tourist visa?

What are things that I should prepare?

Your replies will of great help. Thank you.

So, I (petitioner) have some criminal history issues. No question about disclosing them or not. Obviously doing full disclosure.

I have 4 DUI's. 3 misdemeanor DUI's and the last one felony. Plus, a misdemeanor "Public Drunk" arrest from way back in 1986. Pretty clearly these must be reported as required by i-129f Part 3. Section 1. C : "Three or more arrests for drug or alcohol related charges."

However, in trying to obtain court records and police reports, I had no problem getting certified copies of everything from "Public Drunk" in 1986, and I got certified court records for the felony DUI. But for the police reports on all 4 of the DUI's, and the court records of the three misdemeanor DUI's when I requested them, they replied that ALL police records and ALL court records of those categories of cases are routinely "purged" and destroyed after 10 years and they simply no longer exist so I cannot get copies.

Yet the instructions for that question say.

"If you were ever arrested or convicted of any of the specified crimes, you must submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and disposition for every arrest or conviction. You must do so even if your records were sealed, expunged, or otherwise cleared, and regardless of whether anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, informed you that you no longer have a criminal record."

This is for records the courts and police tell me no longer exist so I cannot get copies.
This is California and I am sure I am not the only one that has ever filed a petition with over 10-year-old DUI's on their records.

What is the customary remedy that will not get me an unanswerable RFE for unobtainable records?
