Hi Vj's!

I have my IR1-Visa. I may need to temporarily turn to the Philippines shortly after I enter the USA and process my green card and social security card. I may have to sell my 2012 SUV that I haven't been able to sell, even though I have priced the vehicle at a very low price. My understanding is the USCIS at the LA airport will stamp my visa allowing me to travel in and out of the Unites States for a period or one year.

Please advise me of anything that I need to be aware of that will prevent me from returning to the Philippines prior to receiving my green card.

My husband's family will be FedExing my green card to the Philippines when it comes in the mail.

Thank you and God bless!

Hi VJ's how are you all doing?

I live in the Phls. An IR-1 visa holder.

I already have my visa it's good for 5 more months and now we are trying to sell some things including our car. Even though we price our car aggressively it is not a cheap car and they don't always sell quickly. If by chance we want to extend our visa how long can we typically get the visa extended without adding additional requirements such as updating the medical or NBI etc?

Thanks and God bless us all :-)

Thank you so much VJ's for your reply :-)

Hello how are you vj's!?

I have a question about social security.

I'm currently in the process of obtaining my IR-1 visa. What is the best way to obtain my social security card when considering time and cost. I heard you can apply for it on form DS-260 but there is a fee, I have also heard when you go to the social security office there is no fee. I was also told that you can apply for it at the port of entry in Los Angeles. Please can anyone give me insight regarding this matter.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks guys for the replies :-) I really appreciate it :-)

I'm an American married to a Filipina we have been married for almost 3 years.

Can somebody give me insight into IR-1 visa.

Do I have to schedule an appointment or just show up in the Embassy.

Thanks Vic20r

Thanks for the reply :-)

How long does the I-30 petition approval last once it approved? Do I have sometime before I have to submit follow up documentation?

Thanks for the answer I really appreciate it :-)

Hi to all VJ. I have a question. If I have a tourist visa to the USA can my husband apply for my IR-1 visa while I have a tourist visa or do I have to surrender my tourist visa first?

Thanks for the reply Purple1926.

Hi to all VJ's members I'm new here. Need some help!!

My Husband is an American Citizen was born in Canada he was naturalized 2007. He came to the Philippines 2009 to find a wife (That's ME ) we met September 7th 2009 and moved together after 2 months. After a year we tied a knot we've been together since 2009. We have never been apart maybe a few days a month to visit my family which is very close from our place just an hour trip. So now we are thinking of moving to the U.S. We have everything except for one thing his certificate of naturalization ( date and number) is in his storage in the U.S which is needed to file for the I-130. Is there another alternative? Or the only choice is he has to go back to the States to get it and go back again here in the Philippines and file for it??
