Yes she can leave 

Thank you . I'd also like to ask how long will the Reentry Permit be valid for is it 2 years maximum or 1 year maximum if she leaves the last week of November I'd say she could be back as soon as September 24?

As a 10 yr GC holder,  it is very unlikely to not be approved.. Processing time will be the hold up .. Requesting it to be sent to the home country consulate is completely in order .. just make sure the form is properly filled out .. and she should not leave the US until biometrics are complete .. either because on file biometrics were reused or she attended a scheduled appt. 

The Reentry permit is a great safe guard when the length of stay is unpredictable 

Hello and Thanks for you speedy reply they have decided to reuse her Biometrics she applied in September around the 28 and her flight was scheduled for late November so she really didn't have a lot of time to wait for the Biometrics appointment we did attempt to ask for an expedite on the Biometrics but they refused to but a few days later they sent a NOA saying Biometrics were re used so this means shes safe to leave right? Also we did opt to have the Reentry permit sent to the Embassy in her country. 

Hello group has anyone had to file an I-131 and had it mailed to the US EMBASSY in Manila Philippines? My wife will leave the USA for a family medical reason she holds a 10 year PRC

she will more than likely be out the USA for at least one year could be less has anyone experienced this or had any luck with getting it approved and having it delivered to an Embassy in another country if so could you please share your experience. 

Hello she can definitely apply but depending on her country of citizenship and if you already have filed for Spouse visa I'd say the tourist visa will probably get denied and there are reasons for this denial. 

Hello what a great idea to have a child with the one you love but however its not going to make a difference as far as the process it's the core evidence itself yes having a Birth Certificate as part of your evidence is a strong piece of evidence but shouldn't be thought of as a guaranteed approval .I have  a friend who petition his fiancee from the Philippines she became pregnant and they had no issues then on the other hand I know people who are married with multiple children and get denied CR1  .

What happened?  Did you get Visa’s?

Yes but the Embassy made lots of confusion with our case.

Here we go again.  I’m a US Citizen and the Sponsor for my Filipino Wife and 2 Stepchildren .  My wife was just denied her and my Stepchildren's Visa’s because with the New Minimum Income Requirements as of March 1, 2023, my income was deemed insufficient and she was told I needed a Joint Sponsor.  
 

We originally filed our I-130 on June 30, 2021 and were approved on May 19, 2022.  At the NVC in September 2022, we were informed our income which was previously adequate, was now insufficient so we uploaded my 2022, SS Benefits Letter which showed Sufficient Income for 2022.  She was DQ’d in October 2022.  Fast forward to her Medical Exam March 29, 2023, Wife flagged for TB.  Further testing showed no infection.  (Wife disclosed at Medical that she was diagnosed with TB and Treated with 6 month Course of Treatment over 6 years ago and deemed cured) Follow up Medical on May 29, 2023, Cleared Medical.  Interview Date June 7, 2023, Income Insufficient!  Required to provide Joint Sponsor.  Fortunately my 2023, SS Benefit exceeds the new March 1, 2023, Minimum Required Income so we went home and updated our I-864, wrote a cover letter, and submitted it, along with her Passport to LBC for delivery to the Embassy.

 

I thought I recalled reading that once DQ’d you weren’t subject to changes in the Minimum Income Requirement.  Does anyone know if that’s true?

 

Additionally, when my Wife went to her 2nd Medical Interview she stopped by the “US Embassy Visa Information Desk” at St Luke’s and was informed that our Children ages 7 and 9 yrs old were not required to be present for the Embassy Interview, bc they are under 14 yrs old.  WRONG. If you are told this it’s just not true bc in a addition to providing my new Income verification letter we now have to reschedule the Children’s Interview.  A needless delay.  My wife feels terrible because she had my new SS Benefits Letter with her but was too shaken to remember she had it and feels totally responsible for not taking the children bc when she called me from St Luke’s I told her to double check.  She did and even took a selfie with the person at the Information Desk but the Embassy Consular wasn’t moved.  

 

I’m writing this not so much for feedback, which I do want, but to alert my fellow Citizens of these potential stumbling blocks at the finish line.  

Hello I had a similar issue in April of 2023 with the Embassy in Manila Philippines after DQ something small happened that started a chain of events they were asking for a household member to do an I864A this was well after DQ and couldn't be done the correct way they wanted it but we tried.  Good Luck 👍.

Hi guys! Is it also needed to have my dual citizen baby get registered at CFO? She has both US passport and Philippine passport. If so, what other documents should I bring during the registration process since she has a US passport and not a visa on her Philippine passport?

And by the way, I cannot find the GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING FORM only the registration form on the CFO website, can anyone out there help me find to where I can get it online? Thanks a lot!

Hello I'm attempting to do the same thing our daughter has a Philippine passport and lives in the USA we plan to go on June 27 2023 to the Philippines we have tried numerous times to register her at CFO Manila online so she can have the certificate the online form doesn't understand she doesnt have a visa category nor visa number it does state online dual citizens also have to register but there is no literature that we could find about this someone has recently said there is someone in the Philippines that can dobit for you for a fee. Have you had any answers yet on this topic?

Hello group we wanna ask a question about a form they appear to have checked as item needed at the interview for my stepson. I petition him his mother has been in the USA since June 2019 we are now ready to schedule the interview they are asking for form I864A from my wife she doesn't work and I make more than enough for our household size why would they request this form I864A if we do upload and send to the interview it would show 0000 for income from her however we did file joint taxes together so the transcript show married filing jointly but on the transcripts for her SS number doesn't show any income could this be a mistake that they have this on the list of documents to bring any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks for your response I think this is the answer we were really looking for someone else had said if you don't meet the income requirement then this is needed. The problem was I made double the income requirement and wife doesn't work so that's why we were looking for a good answer.  Thanks again.

Congratulations! You're legal beyond 2025, even if your extension letter expires. Only immigration judge can terminate your LPR status.

Hello we just received the 48 month letter today.

If your case has been expedited and says ready you should be able to schedule an interview

 

That's what I did.

 

Case got approved expedited 

Case status ready

Wasn't able to self schedule due to Case not found on ustraveldocs

 

Called and got Case escalated

 

Was able to schedule feb6

 

Got an interview March 6

I will try again the only reason I didn't try was the Embassy told me twice that I have to wait for some type of email from them this is new to us the Embassy expedited our case we had no knowledge of it until NVC sent an email when I filed for my wife in 2018 by the time we got to NVC they emailed us the interview date .

Thomas we received the Email February 3rd and still unable to schedule an Interview.  Called twice and requested escalation and still no movement.  Keep trying, we are all very close at this stage.

So at this point we will just keep waiting . We have not received the email they talk about may I ask what does the email say?

Hello has anyone stopping getting the weekly email that shows the estimated approval dates I751 they haven't been sending for 2 weeks now ?

Our case has the same issue we have been waiting since January 25 since the case shows ready. I have contacted the USEM 2 times they keep telling us we have to wait for an email from them and they don't know how long it will be but the also stated that we cannot schedule our interview until we get the email. Our case was expedited also without our knowledge of it.

Hi, my spouse and I had our immigration interview 2 years ago when I did AOS here in the USA, we both attended the interview and GC was approved on the spot. I have sent my ROC already and I've read that an interview is required, again? 

More than likely you will not have to do another interview if you were K1 and was interviewed at AOS then you probably will not have an interview.

Hi all!

 

Quick question, I will send in my application to remove conditions when my 90-day window opens in late March, will I receive anything from USCIS before I file i.e. a letter/notice? 

I had to change my address last year as we moved and for some reason USCIS does not like confirming my address when I ask, so just curious if I should be expecting something (or not, if my address never changed properly.)

 

Thanks!

Hello this has been a question asked on many of the visa groups some people they do send a notice this can be by mail or as a message if you have a USCIS online account however no one can say how they distinguish who they will send the reminders to I would think it's something computer generated every so often and it picks cases at random jut make sure your address is always up to date.

Can you point out my lies, and back up what you claim?

First: The I-751 Petition is all about providing evidence that your Marriage is tried and true USCIS wants to see where you stand 2 years later show from point of entrance to 90 days before your card expires now some couples wouldn't have provided the quantity of evidence I did with the CR130  a lot of what I used then shouldn't have been used until now during filing I-751 this would be like Life insurance, Copies of bills with joint names , Bank Statements, these are things a normal couple would have after establishing a single residence together but I used them then this is one of the many examples I can use to show you.

Ok Immigration Attorney the only lies here are the ones that you're telling people that is what lawyers do right??? But remember they get paid to do that you don't! Nothing you've said is true do some more research before you give false information or information that's misleading.

Please don’t spread fear and panic over lies. There is a process to be deported, and only an immigration judge can take away a resident status. And that usually takes years. No need to spread fear or panic, or to tell somebody to start the process with panic over something that is not realistic. Very few I-751s are denied.

What's the lie ???? I'm just answering the question they have asked for an answer from anyone who reads the post and I wasn't spreading fear just stating the facts your I-751 petition must be strong enough to convince the USCIS officer that you are tried and true it's all about proving your word anyone can get married for the wrong reasons on this form they give you another chance to prove you didn't marry to get a visa nor avoid immigration laws be serious this petition will require good evidence. 

As stated earlier there is no set amount of evidence some evidence is stronger than others . One thing is for certain you shouldn't send any of the same evidence you sent initially this will be an issue . If you now have children together and are still together this will be the strongest piece of evidence you can produce.
