    PDOS

    in Philippines

    Posted

    I have been reading here that PDOS can be done before the interview at the embassy. However, when I visited their site, it says (You need an immigrant visa to secure an appointment for your attendance to the country specific CFO Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar.) Is there still a way to do the seminar ahead of the visa issuance?

    Hi!  I come from a country whose school calendar differs from that of the US. We asked to be processed expeditiously because if we won't, we're bound to enroll in April in the Philippines (petition is with a stepchild). And if our approval will be around that time, it would be late to look for a school in the US (we're actually late now as most schools have ended the application process last Dec).  So it's financial hardship if we will pay for two overlapping schools in the same year, and education discontinuance in case we can't get into a US school this year.

    Hi!

     

    We are pretty much in the same boat. Did you have to send any documents/proof to support the request to expedite?

     

    Thanks!

    I am the petitioner for my mum and used I864EZ even though I am married filing jointly. My immigration lawyer friend who we consulted with agreed this was correct. I meet the requirements from my W2s and I sent a copy of my W2 and also included a copy of my wife's (as it says to send all W2s and 1099s related to the return) but hand wrote on hers that it was sent only to show the breakdown of our income and that I am the ONLY sponsor. I haven't heard anything yet as I sent all docs a few weeks ago....

    Thanks for the reply. Since you used the I864EZ, did you only attach a photocopy or transcript of your most recent year's tax return or did you do the optional last three years?

    IR2 NVC Stage

    I am petitioning my 12 year old stepson. We finally received our NVC case number, submitted the DS261 and paid the AOS fee. We are gathering the documents to be sent to NVC. Should I use  the 1-864EZ? The only person listed on the petition is my stepson. The income I am  using to qualify is based entirely on my  salary (I have W2, ITR transcript to show this plus pay stubs). But I file my taxes jointly with my wife. Would this be an issue? Can I still use the  1-864EZ?

     

    For the AOS/IV Packet, we will be submitting the Document Cover Sheet, beneficiary's birth certificate, beneficiary's bio page of passport,  AOS form, W2, ITR and paystubs. Am I missing anything? Do we need to send My Wife and I's Marriage Certificate at this stage again? I'm also confused whether to include  2x2 photos of the beneficiary, I don't see that requirement on the welcome letter NVC sent us. Can we submit this instead during the interview at the embassy?

     

    Based on what I read on the forum, I can send the AOS and IV Packet even before we pay the IV fee. I am still unable to pay it on the website. I will try to call NVC to see if they can unlock this for us. 

     

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hello I recived NOA 2 on 10/30/17 it was approved on 10/27/17 by TSC. It has been passed the 30 days and i have heard nothing from NVC. I called today and they said they have not received my case. On the USCIS website it stills says case approved. IS anybody dealing with the same problem? How long did it take to hear from NVC? 

    Ours was approved Oct 12. After weeks of calling, NVC still have not received our case, so I spoke to USCIS to make sure they sent out our case to NVC. I spoke to a Tier 2 officer and they sent our case to NVC on November 15th. NVC received our case on the 24th. Just got our NVC case number today.

    anyone from TSC see their case sent to NVC? My NOA2 was on October 13th and I have called NVC several times and they still do not have it.

    should i try talking to USCIS and a tier 2 rep there?

     

    I just want this to speed up already! Getting very impatient.

    Mine was approved Oct 12. I will try to call again today. I am thinking of calling USCIS, too and see if my case has been sent to NVC.

    The i-130 petition for my minor stepson (standalone petition) has been approved. We are still waiting for the NVC Case number. I would like to request for expedite, I wonder if our reason would qualify for it. Last October 2016, due to a very strong typhoon, my father in-law's house was  damaged, the entire roof was gone. The got a DSWD Disaster assistance card to prove this, aside from photos. They were able to do some repair but the ceiling still leaks and every time there's a non stop heavy rain/typhoon like what's happening at the moment, the house is flooded again. Would this be a possible reason to expedite. The kid will have his interview at USEM Manila.

    hi

     

    you will file the i864, if you were his biological parent then you would file the i864W, because when he entered the country he would derive your citizenship

     

    he can't derive citizenship through a stepparent

     

     

    thanks for the info. Is he getting an automatic 10 yr GC? That's what my wife have at the moment. She recently filed her N400. Still waiting for interview schedule.
