Correct. Once the I-864 is executed, you're on the hook until they become a USC, die, lose LPR status, or earn 40 quarters of SS work credits.
That said, the OP states that they never got a green card / AOS approval. Although 2.5 years after the interview for that is really odd...presumably it would have been either approved or denied by now.

A marriage between two muslims.this is one of the criteria for a divorce in the Philippines. 

It is legal for muslims
 

Thank you @Hank. We are going to look for an attorney familiar with Shaira law. 

Fingerprints appointment DONE ✅

next step I hope be approve without interview or RFE 🙏

I second this. Submit copies of both you and your spouse's ids highlighting the same address and a letter from the friend or a neighbor will support the lease being only under your spouse's name. 

A letter of explanation will also a big help plus the suggestions of these two. That's what I did when my name was not listed on the lease.
If you can show to USCIS as well that both of you paying the lease then it will a huge plus.

DL is a great idea, listen to this person

Like Hank says, try and do it at least 5-7 business days prior to your interview. The Embassy states this, as well as us veterans here on VJ concur with the Embassy, because your visa validity is only 6 months long and it is based on the medical date and not the visa issuance date.

Took your advise and went to Best Buy with my broken old laptop. Geek SWAT removed the hard drive and installed it to USB laptop disk drive enclosure, basically a case holding the drive which costs me $29.99 without additional charges, and I went home plugged into my new laptop, retrieved and sent the 1040 form out.
Problem solved!!! Life is good to me!
Thanks Greenbaum!

Today Mick (Beneficiary) went to his local medical office to get tested for what he still needs immunization wise. In the end, it will likely be cheaper for him to just have those done at his medical. I suppose that's good news. He also was able to get his medical scheduled before the interview, however it is only one day prior. They did tell him that they would make sure to send out the information immediately after his appointment which should still get it to him by the end of the week. With all luck, the embassy will only be waiting about a week for those results from the time of his interview. We are still in shock at how quickly they got us in and even though we wanted to push back the date, we decided not to take a risk and end up with an interview in November instead. So we are working out our budgets and time the best we can to cover for this. We spent a bit more than we planned on my trip to visit him because we though he wouldn't be coming home for another three months! Cannot believe this has happened so quickly!
Packet 3: August 27th
Packet 4: September 1st
Police check mailed: September 1st
Medical: September 14th
Interview: September 15th!
We will likely be put on administrative processing until his medical is received but I will of course keep you guys informed on how that goes for any of you who may end up in the same boat in the end of this crazy step in the journey

My Fiancee in Philippines just informed me that our case was approved by the USCIS, I am so happy! I haven't got the email or text yet but the USCIS website says approved. Our NOA1 was 7/29/15 and the NOA2 is 8/12/15.

Hello!
I live in Manila. If no one has been able to find her/be in contact with her for more than 24 hours then I suggest that her family/friends report for a missing person. Anything I can help, please let me know. I work for the Government so I have a couple of resources in my hands such as connecting to Social Welfare and the police but I'm leaving on the 22nd though. But anything I can do while I'm still here! Do you happen to have her mobile number? I can call to check from time to time. You can also use social media. The PH is the Facebook capital of the world I think so information gets spread pretty fast via the social network

It will be in Manila in about two - three weeks. It's ok to start booking your visa interview and medical.

absolutely !
you reread Hank_ 's Handy-Dandy, Neeto-Keen (yet spiffy) guide to SuperFast K-1 visa chasing for Manila IV? Yes? No? If no - hey ! Get on a PC, find any one of Hank_ 's posts in the PI subforum, and click the link in his signature area.

Wow, this process is just a bit crazy. After getting an RFE in early July and responding on the 13th. I checked using the case status page yesterday and we've gotten NOA2. One step closer. The mailed notification should arrive sometime next week. Then it's time to gather new paperwork. I'm hoping we'll get through this in two or three more months.

Hopefully you hear something very soon!

My fingers and toes are crossed for you, me and everyone else that is waiting to hear. This wait is unbearable! But I do feel so lucky I found this website. Before I was on here I thought I was gonna be waiting for 5 months to get through this bit. I hope this week is filled with lovely happy approvals!

Crossing my fingers that my NOA2 will be today (or at least this week). My timeline estimated July 28-30. At this point I'd even prefer an RFE so at least I knew they were working on it.

We have received the NOA2 by today .... E-notice :-) .... 33 days since NOA1 - not too bad.
@ abbyhawk: your once will also come in a couple of days ....
I keep my fingers crossed for everyone who is still waiting ....

I feel you. Hanging on a very thin thread here. Getting so frustrated plus waiting for an RFE.

My NSO BC was also unreadable. What NSO told you to do, I did. I went to the local civil registrar of the city I was born in, told the clerk about the problem. I believe this problem happens quite often as she didn't ask any further question. I showed my unreadable BC to her. She said they will issue a transcript (whatever that is, I didn't know at the time). I was asked to pay a fee, I don't remember exactly how much, but I think between P300-P500. She gave a receipt. I was asked to come back after two weeks.
When I came back, she gave me my copy of their letter to NSO containing the basic info of my birth (father/mother/date and place of birth). I went to NSO, showed this copy. I was asked to order how many copies I needed, paid a fee for the copy/ies (just like you would order and pay for the real BC). I was given a receipt and a date to pick up the document. The document I picked up was exactly the same as the copy of the letter I was given at the local civil registrar, just that it was on NSO security paper (yellow color). During my interview, I brought the unreadable BC and transcript. The unreadable one was looked at but was not taken, the transcript was accepted.

Obviously everyone should be extremely cautious when choosing their partner, regardless of country or age, etc, but here are a few of my observations after having been around dozens of Fil-Am relationships and “couples groups” across several years. There are always exceptions, but logic dictates that you WILL be part of the rule, and not the exception. ZERO offense is meant to anybody. I only hope to inform and setup reasonable expectations for new couples and soon to be newly weds.
I met my wife while I was living in the Philippines. I was in Asia for business for a few years. I had an extreme luxury compared to many other guys that I’ve met because I had the chance to really get to know her before marrying her and bringing her to the USA. She had a very good family with a conservative upbringing and influence from her parents and other elder relatives. She’d never had a drink or been in a club until my corruption of her began. She was 21 and I was 31 when we met.
When we moved to the USA we quickly got caught up in the Fil-Am couples culture. And let me tell you, it is quite a culture. There are many great benefits and serious flaws with these groups. Here is some insight into these groups.
There are large, elaborate parties planned every week. If your “home group” doesn’t have one, then another group nearby will have one. At these parties the guys are usually sitting around, drinking beer, and watching some rather boring TV. The guy’s average age is probably around 55 years. The girls, average age of 24, will be in another room speaking whichever Filipino dialect that they speak. They’ll be doing shots, playing bizzare sexually themed party games, and screaming louder every 30 second than you’ve ever heard before. The food will be Filipino every time. The guys and girls equally have nothing and everything in common at the same time.
That’s where your ability to observe their social life ends. After these parties, everything goes into the underground world of Facebook, Instagram, FB messenger, Wechat, etc. Your wife will LIVE on her smartphone. She will live for private messages, selfies, group chats, and Facebook statuses.
You’ll want to give privacy to her, and if you do that, you’ll have no clue whatsoever what she’s up to. If you try to translate it you’ll fail because of their shorthand, it incomprehensible to any automated translation system. And that’s if it’s Tagalog. If it’s Visaya or Ilocana, etc, you’re just screwed. You will be able to, however, see that a lot of the people she is speaking to are 20 year old Filipino guys.
Is it starting to sound like I’m bitter? I’m not, because my wife does not do any of this. What I do have though is a front row, insiders seat to what all her “friends” are up to. And what they are up to is no good. No good at all.
They are very sophisticated phone users. If she doesn’t want you to find her secrets, you won’t. They have ridiculous “sleep overs” very frequently where they head to the local club or bar and stumble home at 5am. They sleep with all kinds of guys, here in the USA, or ex boyfriends when they go home for a visit. They’ll give their night shift manager at their minimum wage job sexual favors just to spice things up.
Often times because of pride and the desire to“one-up” each other, they’ll sleep with / mess around with the other guys in the group. (their “friend’s” hubands) They’ll start flirting, messaging, coming onto the younger guys in these groups. They’re more of a “prize” and the younger guys tend to use these tech tools with more familiarity than their older counterparts.
Last night at 2am I was invited by two of the four girls having an impromptu pool party. They didn’t invite my wife because she’s fallen out of favor with them this month. I think they were already drunk enough to imagine that I’d go there without her. They would have likely wanted a threesome, hoping to get a pic or two for future bragging rights or leverage, whatever is needed at the time.
Countless times I’ve been the direct target of many, many, many of these different girls revenge plots, thrill seeking, or boredom solving schemes. I think I have unsolicited topless/naked selfies of around half of the girls that we associate with.
Because I actually go to the clubs and bars with my wife and often times her “friends”, I get to hear their drunken rants about how much they miss home. How controlling their husbands are. How they’ll just stay until they have citizenship. After that they’ll get a decent job, save up, and then move “home”.
They really do love and care about their husbands. Sometimes enough to cry about their horrible behavior, but not enough to actually quit all of this fun.
I also get to hear all the stories about the affairs that they had while engaged but not able to come to the USA until the K1’s are approved.
Most of these girls actually hate each other. It’s a lot of what we all saw in Jr High School. It is full on Mean Girls. They are extremely cliquish and will banish, shame, ignore, and embarrass a girl if she doesn’t uphold their needs for popularity and beauty.
These groups work hard to have the largest most popular group possible. The smaller the group, the less powerful and cool they feel. When the invitations stop coming your way, you’ve been fazed out. We’ve been through so many groups, iterations of the same groups with the key players revolving around, alliances shifting, and grudges spring up.
Husbands, who usually desire a peaceful relationship that is free from drama will try their best to be supportive of these new immigrants. They know their wives don’t have family or friends, so you want to help them enjoy a social life and give them the privacy and respect that anybody seeks.
At some point a lot of these women will realize you don’t have half as much money as they had fanaticized about when they met you. They realize that you really are 10,20,30,40 years older than them. They realize that they get a sh*t ton of attention when they all go to the club together, and these are young foreigners, just like their friends in PH are seeing in the movies. Their friend’s opinion is everything.
A lot of these ideas/issues don’t even exist when you first meet. People change A LOT in their 20’s. They figure out who they are, what they want, what their strengths and weakness are. Before coming to the USA their options are so limited, that you are likely their very best option. Once they naturally mature and experience more of life they see how many options they really have. They further recognize the power of their beauty and sexuality. If they can get some spousal or child support from you, then they’re really getting setup. Especially if paring that with a blue USA passport.
This statistic with be complete BS, but I’ll throw my guess out there anyway. I’d expect that these bad relationship account for around 60% of the whole. Probably 20% are quite good, and the other 20% are somewhere in between. One common link in these statistics? The larger the age gap, the worse the loyalty is. The really big trouble seems to start when the girls are in their 20’s and the guys are 60+. Oh, and the plainer looking girls seem to just really want a stable husband and family… The one wearing the $500+ Versace dress that you bought her isn’t too worried about impressing you anymore.
If you fall into one of the above trouble groups, please just use caution. You might be lucky, but you are probably not.

Aww thank you! I hope you guys will get yours soon too! I know how nervewrecking it is!
Thank you, happy for you guys as well! Now the rest of the administrational hell starts
Yeah I tried finding it but I have android and had no luck for that one, I had decided to look for a similar one in the morning but turns out I didn`t need to anymore!
