US Immigration from Philippines

It is now Feb 2025 and I now have a piece of my son again. His widow and 4 of the kids have already spent their first set of Christmas holidays with me. I know that my Joseph is singing and dancing with the Angels in celebration that I managed to complete his job. I now have 2 headed for the Navy, one graduating from HS and headed to Nursing School, his widow working part-time and headed to college, and his youngest in middle school. My house is noisy and cheerful, everyone is making friends, and a church to give thanks in has been joined. Thanks to all who helped and gave advise. May everyone's dreams come true, do not give up!

Hello,

My wife finally got her letter from the Embassy, stating she is cleared to schedule her VAC and interview. The letter states "Immediate Action Required" and "Missing/Expired documents: PSA Advisor on Marriages. I checked the CEAC and I did upload our Adivisory of Marriages. These documents are dated February 2023. Have you ever heard if these docuuments are ever too old or expired? I did go back and read the USCIS instructions requiring the Advisory of Marriages and it does not state any expiration date. Have you any experience with this?

Thank you

Does any one know if balakbayan stamp can be given to step children of the Filipina if were all traveling together? Every where I look it only says spouse and kids, I just want to make sure that includes step- children. Thanks.

I don't know what side of the bed this interviewer servant woke up on, but obvoiusly they have something against us.

see attached denial.

She was already "documentarily qualified" with all required tax returns, forms AND we went thru HELL to get a DNA test they required, which is a total money grab and waste of time.. it's NOT our fault they took over 5 months to get the info over to the embassay and schedule an interview! so now due to THEIR incompetence they are reqesting a 2024 Tax Return which is not even due for us until Sept! (we always go on extension) .

On the Denial they also cross out "HOUSEHOLD MEMBER" and check "JOINT SPONSOR" - which as you correctly state above, is totally wrong according to their OWN RULES.. (I am the husband living in the same house) and we already filled out BOTH the i-864 and i-864A Affidavits of Support! Which was required to even get to this point! do we just print it out again? My income and our assets total around $2 million!

If they are checking off Joint Sponsor as a requirement isn't that an error? how can it be corrected?

can anyone give us any advice here? it's really infuriating it's been 2 years of hell.

anything is appreciated. Best, Mike
