    Ah, yes the privately run license shacks in MO. You never know what you are going to get. We live in St. Louis, too. We have had good luck at the one in Clayton. It is run from a residential house. Like getting your DL in somebody's living room. It was a shock after growing up in IL where even towns with a population of 1000 have a State run brick and mortar professional building.

    It is common in the Philippines. Many approved after only one visit. Not optimal of course. Best of luck.

    My wife travelled and reentered twice using the extension letter and an expired Green Card. But you need to get the biometrics figured out before you leave. At least I would.

    My wife just did this. Passport received separately from certificate. Certificate received via regular mail about a week after the passport arrived. Caused my wife some angst 😉
  23. Carpe Vinum
    Agree. One of my best vacations ever.

    You can do it yourself without issue. Thousands do. You do not need to emphasise the monetary support you provide to the family when filling out the 129F and interviewing at Manila. It is not necessary. Keep things simple and only provide the evidence that is asked for. Manila is not a difficult embassy. Good Luck!

    What he SHOULD do is pay for the divorce with a single lawyer for both. They have not been married long enough to have any shared property or alimony due. He should be a good guy and pay for her flight and put a little money in her pocket for a fresh start.

    Don't freak out it CEAC initially says refused. It is a glitch in the system that is used as a placeholder.

    My wife had her oath ceremony this morning. Her USCIS journey is over. She even registered to vote after the ceremony. Thank goodness we are done. Good luck to everyone.

    A lot of it is country specific. Another variable in delays is the original country of origin of the beneficiary.

    The boss had her citizenship interview today. She passed easily. We had to fly back early from the Philippines for it but it was worth it to almost be done with USCIS for good. Already received the update that the oath ceremony will be scheduled. We received notification of the interview while in the Philippines for her father's funeral. We were torn between rescheduling and returning early. In the end we feel we made the right decision as you have no control of the rescheduled interview date.
