US Immigration from Philippines

So, we are finally at the point of scheduling our visa interview, so I headed to USVisaScheduling.com (I don't know who created this site, but they need to turn in their web development degree, lol). Anywho... When I go through the required "Visa Application" process, which is odd given we already applied and were DQ'd and expedited, I get held up at the point where I enter the NVC case number.

I have copied and pasted it directly from the NVC, and I keep getting an error saying "The case number entered is invalid." Has anyone else received this error and how did you fix it?

Hello all,

Thank you always for any advice you can give. Like the title says I just received an email from the NVC that my wife's IR-1 Visa for the Philippines has been approved for expedited processing. Here is a quote from the email below:

"The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MANILA, PHIL approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application. The National Visa Center sent your immigrant visa application to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MANILA, PHIL for their action. The Embassy/Consulate General will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview."

What's strange is I never filed for it to be expedited. Also, how soon should I expect them to contact me regarding the interview schedule? Thank you so much!

I wrote on my I-130 petition in my job history that I was an "English Teacher" for a Korean company and put the company's Seoul address. The thing is, I taught remotely for them from my house in the Philippines. I am kicking myself for not saying "Online English Teacher" to make that more clear. Will USCIS find issue with the fact I worked for a company with a Koren address but my personal address history doesn't have a Korean address (I've never even visited Korea as a tourist)?

Hello this is my first post. Thanks VisaJourney community for all the info so far.

I am a USC petitioning a CR1 for my wife in Philippines.

DQ July 2024

We will convert to IR1 in May 2025

Baby is due March 2025 ( our first)

We are anticipating her IL around that same time, so:

What steps should we be taking to prepare our case for this change? Since baby will be a USC will our CR1/IR1 be affected? Will the child need to be added to Mom's case, or only update the I864EZ? Will I need I864A now? Our documents are already submitted and accepted in CEAC. We have not received any communication from USEM or NVC regarding these questions.

What immediate steps should we take after receiving the PSA Birth Cert (and/or leading up to it)?

Thank you VJ for any advice

(We already know it's not grounds for expedite, even though she has great health ins. coverage here in US on my policy )

I've seen that CR1 visas allegedly have about a 9% denial rate and I'm wondering how it is for IR1 visas.
