US Immigration from Philippines

I did a search on this and found very conflicting information. i dont know why there is such conflict with what to use. On the DS160 application, travel page, Application Receipt/Petition Number, what do i use here? USCIS petition number or NVC case number? Both are 3 letter followed by 10 digits. doing a forum search the top few results i found showed very conflicting info. What should i use?

Thanks yall!

Tis a good time to celebrate. From 999 days now is 67 days. By the way is this Non Immigrant visa pertaining to us K1 interviewees?

Another month another round of AOS submissions. Please be aware the fee will increase, due to take effect October 2, 2020, best get your packets in as early as you can to avoid the increase which is substantial.

• Form G-1145
• Form I-944 (Declaration of Self-Sufficiency with applicable supporting documents.) (As of this posting this form is not required due to the injunction; however, this form has been a thorn in the pants. I recommend to fill this form out and get it ready, less paying the fees for equivalency documents). Better to have it ready in case the injunction does not hold and USCIS reinstates this form like it has been before. Again this form is NOT REQUIRED as of this posting!!!!!

Be sure to double check for the current fees as fees do sometimes increase, so please check. Additionally check the forms as listed above i.e., current version and or edition date, there has been many changes to various forms. Consider sending tax transcripts instead of the 1040, and W2's. Also consider preparing a cover letter for each form in addition to the main cover letter.

Make sure you send long form birth certificates and not the short form. Hope this helps in your preparation of your AOS. When in doubt ask questions.

Please consider filing the I-131 and the I-765 even if you don't think you'll need them right now. You never know what changes your life will have on down the road, so I recommend you file these two forms from the start. There is no extra charge to file them with your AOS and it's much much easier to submit them all at once.
