The waiver is a simple piece of paper you write asking for a waiver, no big deal. 

The USCIS may remove it at any time as well, when I did my 2nd K1 it wasn't part of the USCIS requirement.  

I would also look into doing CR1 if the processing times are running same time length.

I have done 3 K1's in Philippines and here are my approval times for the K1's

1st - 28 days

2nd - 300 days

3rd - 24 days

CO at Interview in Manila never mentioned anything about my prior K1's.

I did my first day yesterday at 1pm and was done by 5.30pm because I don't want to wake up early in the freaking morning to join a lot of people just waiting... waiting.. and ... waiting for when the clinic opens.
Came back today at 2pm (time appointed by SLEC) to get vaccination and I'm out by 4pm. Medical papers for interview on hand..
Goodluck!

Good Move

So my daughter has been here for couple years now. She is turning 12 this year. For the last year we have been having to deal with her behavior. She has changed immensely and has adopted the American culture 100% and has zero filipino culture and unfortunately that is bad outcome. She is very defiant and have no remorse for what she did. Talks back a lot and been having c’s and d’s at school. Would totally lie and say she is not feeling well so she can skip school sometimes. I have asked her over and over to tell me whAt the problem is but she won’t tell me. I am so lost and don’t know what to do. Anybody who have the same problem or have gone through this?

I am for tough discipline, at her age of 12 she needs tough love.  Whether it be having her kneel on salt, or corporal punishment with belts or switches when she acts up.  I have known many parents from Philippines who have raised their kids in the USA and for the most part they were able to raise them with the Filipino culture still embedded in them.

Hank make a good point about removing the phone, and I am sure her friend are influencing her as well.

" The case against Mr. Craig, 74, stemmed from an investigation initiated by the office of the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III. "

 

How can this be?  Mueller's investigation was supposed to take down Trump and his associates but NOT any democrats.

Exactly

This was launched by the democrats and the RINO Republicans who couldn't handle Trump becoming President, and now one of their own is in trouble.

I always use Booking.com and read the reviews for anyplace I go in PI...even Mindanao. Try to rent a condo and live like a mini family...cook things and bond....

I never make any bookings in the Philippines, I just show up and look at the hotel and go look at others before I book it if I am going to place I know nothing about. 

If I have been there and like the place then I may reserve a room when I return.

yes will look into it. You know the Philippine law. I just don't want any problem and restrict her from going back here later.

The Philippine is very racist country, you must be a citizen to get a professional license.

Unlike the USA, A citizens of Philippines who has a BSN in Nursing can come to the USA and apply for NCLEX and become a RN.   

Philippines only allows citizens of Philippines to sit for the nursing board exam in Philippines to be a RN in Philippines.

I am sure this is true in most other professions

Do I have to provide another sponsor at this point or can the I-129 be filed now and a sponsor added after? I am not sure at what stage income has to be proven. Forgive my ignorance please. I am hoping/expecting that she will be a better paying job by then as she has just completed school plus that will give us time to get a sponsor which should not be a problem. 

File I-129 when you want, it may be many months before you need a I-134 for the interview.

Hi everyone! Newbie here! I badly need your help, advices and suggestions.

 

My fiancé in US received NOA2 last february then I’m just waiting for the NVC, while waiting for it he said I should process other requirements like Police Clearance.

 

I am currently here in the Philippines, I lived and work in dubai for 11months and decided to go home last June 2018 because we are already engaged and planning to go there so I left my dubai life, now im here in the Philippines again for 9months already.

 

Here’s my question guys, do I still need to get a Police Clearance in dubai since I stayed there for more than 6months and pass it as a requirment to US Embassy?

 

i’ve read some topics here re: this but just to be sure. Thank you in advance! ❤️

Unless things have changed, you will never get anything from NVC. Once you have NOA2 you can schedule Interview and do medical.

All you can do is apply, and you will be denied or approved on your own merits, including the totality of your current and past applications.  No one here can predict the outcome.

I can predict it, After 4 denials, I can predict a 5th denial based on past history

From what I have read in various articles it seems that Duterte wants to have good relations with China but he is being pressured to stand up to China by the people of the Philippines (some of them anyways). I could be wrong but that is what it seems like from what I have read. Also it seems that our government announced last month they would back the Philippines against China which may have emboldened Duterte. 

This has been going on for a few years, it was no secret Duterte didn't like Obama, but yes this seems as if he is has been emboldened by the March statement.

I'm actually a bit surprised because they seem so strict about everything 

From what I have seen the CBP agents don't know or understand the K1 process

When I arrived at POE with my fiancé in Minnesota, I was asked if I had filed taxes for the previous year, and then was told after marriage to go to my USCIS center in Dallas and apply for AOS in person.

It's possible/very easy to run credit and criminal background checks without a SSN, I've done it countless of times at work. 

 

 

Correct

Hello, my husband and I live in Tennessee and he is here on a K1 visa. We have already applied for AOS. We are trying to lease an apartment and many apartment offices have told us that they will not lease to use because my husband does not yet have his Social Security number. Does anyone know if this is even legal or what I should do? 

Lawyer Cap Off

Is it legal to ask for a SSN,  They usually run a credit check.  Ways to get around it is to pay high deposit is most common way I have seen.

Has anyone had this issue in their timeline? My friend's kid's father wont give her consent to relocate with the child.. 

What on earth to do?! has anyone made a way to make this work well where one won't have to give up love or a child? 

What country?

The ones I am familiar with if you have child out without being married then the father has no say so over the child.
