Since uscis has a new I-130 form and says the spousal beneficiary need to fill up the form I-130a.. Is the form I-130a applicable for Ir2/Cr2 also?  it's confusing for us. hope someone here can help me. thank you

Thank you so much for the reply guys. My husband insisting I will get 10 year green card that's why I posted here. ☺

Hello VJ.

What if you enter united state a month before your two years wedding anniversary, they will consider that to give you 10 years green card? Or they still give you 2 year conditional green card?

DCF or direct consular filing is available at us embassy manila. Since you are permanent resident here at PH, and your staying here for straight 6 months you can apply for dcf. Check out the guides for dcf in this website.

Yes you need a separate EVERYTHING, separate I-130, separated DS-260 later, separate I-864 etc

Thank you so much! God bless

Yes, he should petition your child separately. (You married before the child was 18, right?)

Thank you so much.

Yes, my son is only 4 years old when we get married

Is your husband a US citizen or permanent resident? Is the child your husband's child? Also, why does your profile say K-1 when you are filing I-130? I-130 are for people who are starting the process who are already married; it's not for people who came on K-1s.

Yes, My husband is a US Citizen

No, my child is not my husband child

My profile shows K1 because I was under k1 before. Due some personal reason I left United States after I sent my Adjustment of Status withdrawal Letter.

Thank you so much ☺

Hello visa journey I have a question again. My husband wI'll file I-130 sooner. But we're confuse if he need to file separate I-130 for my son? Or just for me?

Thank you so much.

sent email yesterday.. called them today and got the email reply today.. after 1 hour status changed to "ISSUED"

a little call and email helped the process

Since its issued now, your fiance need to set the CFO seminar sooner. no more walk in as they said.

Question about G-235a Alien Registration Number

Since I was under K1 visa before, went to US got married but I withdrawn my adjustment of Status Application and left the Country.

Do I still need to put my A number before in my G-325a for spousal petition?

As your fiance daughter, she can bring her to the state under k2 visa as her derevative. Just include her name at 129f form. It's no problem with that. I myself brought my son ( k2 visa) to the state. I just paid our visa fee together ( separate fee each applicant) we went to medical together , separate fee for us too. Attend the interview together. Everything went well. Visa issued after 10 days of interview.

As of adoption it's really good idea to do it at USA than here in philippines. Plus the fact that no father listed to her birth certificate.

Thank you me too is wondering about it. hehehe. we're married at USA but not reported so I'm gathering some information about this.

Sure! I'll update you after my interview on Monday as I was anxious about possible issues I might have that could affect my visa process like the name thing, signature etc..

I'm not sure but I think he'll have more issue with the domicile thing rather than the length of stay here in the Philippines coz as you mentioned he became a permanent resident here. He has to show proof that he intends to re-establish domicile in the US.

I kind of got confused with your post. Were you a previous K1 filer and now transitioning to CR1? Coz you mentioned you got married in California. Correct me if I'm wrong. Hopefully other VJ experts here would have better insight.

Hi jannapalmer

Yes, we will re-establish,one of the reason why he go back there first.

Yes, I was under k1 visa last year when i went to USA and I live there for 6 months. I applied for adjustment of status after we got married but we decided to come back here at PH so I withdrawn my AOS application 20 days before my green card interview. You can check my VJ timeline for my k1 visa journey.

I am here again to gather information about DCF.

We came back here at Philippines from USA last year September 2015 and my husband follow us October 2015. We got married at California.

Exactly 7 months this May 2016 my husband left and went to USA for 2 months visit. He thought that his 7 months of staying here is counted if we file for DCF at manila once he come back this July 2016. But someone told me that we are back to zero in Residency requirements for DCF, is it true?

(My husband is Permanent resident here at Philippines since 2009, we thought he don't need that 6 months residency required but i guess we're wrong about that)

I would like to have more answer and opinion about this matter. Thank you in advance.

Well, the thing is, just scheduling for appointment at the DFA is tight.. nothing's available until July. Oh well, I'll just try my luck at the interview and see what happens (finally got my case number, had medical and visa interview scheduled already). I'll post about it here in case anyone else runs into the same situation.

Hi sis. Hopefully you can update me about the process. Me too will use my maiden name in our spousal visa petition soon. But wondering the pros and cons of having a single name in my passport. I will follow this post for future references. Thank you. ?

If renewing your passport here and you'd like to use your husband's last name, you have to attend the CFO seminar first. That is one of the requirements for passport renewal

I have CFO certificate from k1 process before. They told me that's lifetime certificate. I still have my cfo certificate. I decided not to file Report of marriage at DFA manila.seems so complicated since we got married over a year.

Our plan is to file DCF.. but someone told me once my husband left the country, we're back to zero of residency requirements. My husband stayed here at PH for 7 months but just left the country this week and will be back here after 2 months. So if it's true that we're back to zero for residency requirements, maybe he will do the I-130 petition at USA ??

Just get back to my post. thank you so much for all the input guys. you just answered all my questions. I really appreciated it.

Another question hopefully somebody can answer it. is it possible to renew my passport under married name at the same time i filed the Report of marriage at dfa manila?

Hello guys. Me and my husband is married at USA. I went there under k1 visa, got married and filed for Adjustment of status. 20 days before my green card interview I withdraw my application. Me my husband and my son move back here at Philippines. Now my question is, can we file DCF using our marriage contract from USA? I didn't do report of marriage by the way.

Any input much appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you all for the reply. I will show your comments to my friend. Very helpful . ☺

Hello everyone who has the same case like this. How what is the process of petitioning your adopted child. The child was 17 yrs old when they start the process of adoption and just finalize recently, now she's 19 yrs old. Can they go ahead and file I-130 or there is specific rules they need to follow first after adoption before they can file the petition?

Well you not showing up will automatically be a denial anyway so just relax.

ok. Thank you.

I am the applicant for I-485 application for adjustment of status. my interview supposed to be was sept.24,2015 and I sent them my withdrawal sept. 3, 2015 tjen.left the USA the next day.

I change my address so.if they responded I still get it.

Well the uscis status doesn't always change so don't go by that. Have you called? For when was the interview scheduled?

I did not called, coz I am back in my country. expensive to call using regular load.

Hello VJ members ..

Anyone here have idea how long the uscis will response to your withdrawal of adjustment of status? its been a month since I sent my request but never heard from them. my uscis website status is still "Interview Scheduled"

Thank you.
