US Immigration from Philippines

Hi, I have not seen anyone posting about this issue and would like any support.

The K1 went smoothly for us filing in March and being ready to interview in late August. However next available interview was mid November. My fiance did the medical exam 2 week prior as instructed and was told the sputum tests would take 10 weeks but to go forward with the interview.

She did and was put on 221g until the results came in on 2025-1-3. Dropped off the documents and passport on the 6th at the embassy. They said at that time it would likely be a couple weeks but could take several months and her medical expires 2025-03-26 so she would have to redo it if it expires and repeat this cycle.

We are trying not to panic because it's only been a little more than 2 weeks without word but only see people saying it takes several months on other forums. She will need to interview again and come to the US by the expiration and it's making us nervous. Has anyone been placed on processing for medical results and how long did it take to hear back?

Thank you

Hi all, not sure if this is the right section to ask in, but for my wife's med exam at SLEC in Manila they are asking for her Immunization Records. She doesn't really have a record that she knows of and not sure how to check if she does.

Would this be a problem if she doesn't have one? Thank you!

Thank you all so much!

Still waiting for the visas to arrive, but we are at least approved for the visas!

Hi all,

I'm just double checking what is acceptable at the Interview for Financial Documents. I have my 2023 tax return and supporting documents for that already uploaded and accepted on the CEAC website and my wife's IR-1 interview is scheduled for next month. On the travel.state.gov website it seems to indicate that my wife needs to physically bring the AoS I-864, tax return and supporting documents linked to that to the Visa Interview, but doesn't specify that these docs need to be original or certified in some way. Most of my financial docs are just printed, but SOME were mailed to me like W2s and I can use those. I have 2 tax docs from Uber/Lyft that were available on their website and I just printed them, is that okay to use or does it need to be mailed to me from them? Also I'm assuming I can just print paystubs my employer emails to me for proof of current income as well? Thanks so much!

Hello, my spouse received a 221 g for my low income. I'm retired and have well over the minimum amount of 125% of the poverty level. They are cash assets in the bank. It's as if the consular officer in Manila didn't look at any of my bank account statement. I submitted 12 months. I have a brokerage account and an IRA.

I'm retired and I don't have any joint sponsers. I don't need any because I qualify to use assets based on the policy.

The consular absolutely refused to look at the financial docs that my spouse brought.
