US Immigration from Philippines

My mother in law filed a petition for her unmarried daughter and son last 2016. My in law was a green card holder that time. My sister in law is currently pregnant but is unmarried with her boyfriend. My question is, will she be able to bring the baby here in the usa? And how will she be able to bring her partner as well?

Do I still need to go to VAC or is this good enough being done at St Lukes?

Hello, I am preparing to file a K1 visa petition for my fiance.
I have followed some helpful guides found here and on YouTube to prepare the form and packet.
A few questions remain, I thought others with similar experiences might have advice:

1. When listing petitioner's address history: petitioner has been staying in the Philippines (mostly) for about 1.5 yrs (including full duration of the relationship with beneficiary) as a temporary visitor (tourist visa extensions), (during which made a few short trips to other nearby countries). I have a home in the US (my official 'residence') (and file taxes there the normal way, with no foreign income exclusion).
   Is my assumption that address(s) 'lived' at in PH while a tourist, not a resident of the Philippines should be excluded under petitioner's address history, with my current address to 'present' being my US address?
2. When listing petitioner and beneficiary's employment history, both of us had a period of self-employment during a portion of the past 5 years. Should we list: 'Employer: Self-Employed' with 'Employer's Address' matching our personal residential addresses at the time?
3. When utilizing G-1145 for e-notifications, do you get notified only once for the NOA1 upon case being received, or do you also receive text/email notifications when NOA2 and next steps like NVC processing starts? Since I will be staying overseas during the processing, I am planning to have the mail deliver to my US address with family able to retrieve it -- would be nice to know when a document is likely to have been delivered there.
4. If either party has a legal name change in the past, apart from listing the former name under 'Other Names Used', is it smart and/or necessary to include a copy of the name change court order with the petition packet? Was planning on including a scanned copy. (note: all documents/IDs used in petition reflect current legal name).
5. Any issue with initially mailing the packet from a family member's different US address (different from petitioner's address) to the USCIS Lockbox? I (petitioner) will still use my own US address in the petition itself.

Thank you

Hello,

I would like to know what will happened to my approved petition to unmarried daughter over 21yrs old. I over stayed abroad due to covid and I now back to U.s from repetition process.

Brief Background: My fianc had her consulate interview on 12/3; the consulate officer said she passed, but she would need to submit a new National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Clearance. My fianc submitted the correct NBI few hours after the interview (same-day). We never received an actually G221 form, but her CEAC status changed to 'REFUSED', which after having a heart attack assuming REFUSED = DENIED, we called them and found out that 'REFUSED' is used for G221. Well it just updated today to 'READY', so curious if that is a positive sign? PS: I know this is completely independent of the decision, but due to some miscommunication and me being an idiot, I already purchased the travel ticket for her to come to the US at the end of January, so I'm praying she receives her visa before then and just curious if there is a reasonable chance?

Timeline:

• Medical: Nov 5
• OFC: Nov 23
• Consulate: Dec 3
• G221 Submission: Dec 3
• CEAC Update From 'Refused' to 'Ready': Dec 27
