US Immigration from Qatar

Hello all,

we are in the final stages of getting my step children immigrated to the USA.
we ran into a small problem during one of their interviews. My daughters birth certificate scan had cut off the bottom security bar code even though the original doc my wife had with her had it. The agent gave my daughter a 221.g and required us to go to the nSO and buy a new bc that would be shipped directly to the embassy.
Mon addition to that once the embassy contacted us we were to resubmit the 221.g form and her passport but there was another check box labeled direct submission (see Reverification form )

I searched the state dept website hi and low for any reference to those two terms and I found nothing.

LBC contacted us again today stating we had a document but not the passport to pick up.
the only thing we can think of why they wouldn t be sending us the visa /passport would be due to us not sending this additional form. Does anyone have any clue about this form and where to obtain a copy of it?

please advise promptly if you have any valid info for this.

sincerely

Don

Hey guys, we are in the process of trying to request a K1 case transfer to the US Embassy in Doha, Qatar from the US Embassy in Manila, Philippines. The issue was that my beneficiaries birth country in The Philippines but she is a resident in Doha, Qatar. We did fill in the form that the designated embassy to be Doha, but NVC assigned it to Manila. They did not reassign it in time before they shipped the case to the embassy. I do understand that we need to contact the embassy which we need the case to be transferred to. So I've emailed the US Embassy in Doha, they have not responded but the automated reply email states that we must submit a residency ID and the scheduled appointment at the current embassy in order to request a transfer. I sent another email with her residency ID, proof of address, and a screenshot of the CEAC status that shows "ready". We do not want to go through the process of filling out the ds160 and scheduling at the wrong embassy. It just seems like that would cause issues. Can anyone who has insight on this sort of situation give us any advice?

Today I received an email from the NVC after inquiring if they have a case file number. The case number starts with the letters MNL, which my beneficiary is from, but does not currently reside. She resides in Doha, Qatar and the current address that we put on the petition was her address in Doha. So I sent another inquiry stating that she will be needing the case sent to the US embassy in Doha where she currently resides. We're hoping that they get to it in time before it gets shipped out, is there anything else we can do to have the NVC correct the mistake before it gets shipped out? If it does not get caught in time, what is our best option to make sure it gets to the embassy we need it to be at?

Are DQ'd cases transferred electronically to the Consulate

My wife will finally get her USC sometime around the end of the month or next month. Her interview is on the 29th.
She has 2 minor children that we have active, but stalled, I-130's submitted since 11/2021.

Once she gets her USC I would like to be able to get them their USC and bypass this whole I-130 process all together if possible.

Can we take my wife's Naturalization certificate to the embassy in Manila and secure US passports for the kids?
I'm loath to go the N-600 route after all the money we've already dumped into her visa journey and their I-130's, along with how long that limbo status will remain.

The kids need to come here soon to get on with their schooling.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
