Good Day my fellow April filers. Our visa has been issued as of Thursday 3/14! We'll be making POE on Tuesday 3/19!
 
For others still waiting. Keep the faith!!!

Our Journey started on April Fools Day 2009, when we communicated for the first time. I went to the Philippines to meet her in person on July 4th of 2009 and had a wonderful time, returning three weeks later to the US.  We had taken tons of pictures and kept in constant contact while I started the K-1 Visa process.  Visa Journey was at my side through every step of the way, and the paperwork to her arrival in the US was only 5 months, do the day they received the paperwork.  She arrived on January 27th, 2010 to very cold weather (I forgot her coat on the table when I left for the airport) but the car was warm and we were excited.  A few days later we got a few inches of snow, but Baltimore (SS Office) got 36 inches and was closed for a week.
In 2 days she met her first filipina at Sams Club (we are still friends) and the circle has grown huge.  We processed our paperwork according to the schedules we were married on March 14th 2010.  She applied for her temporary green card (and received no problem) and then her permanent one two years later. 
 
In November 2011, we were blessed with a BEAUTIFUL son, who bears my name (the second) and he is doing wonderfully.  She got a part time job and later a full time job and I retired and watch our son.  In 2018 she applied for US Citizenship and was granted a few days after Thanksgiving.
 
JR (our son) and the family are going to visit her family this July in the Philippines for the first time since she came here, and we are excited to go.
 
I can not THANK VISA JOURNEY for all the information that is presented online to help you process your paperwork, to get it right the first time, and to make the process easy if you follow the information given.  Visa Journey saved me hundreds of dollars in legal fees with their shared experiences and information, I am positive that if anyone reads carefully and completely, they can process the paperwork without any problems.
 
Jesett is completely accepted in my family, she is loved by all our friends, is valued in our church, and a cornerstone of our family life.  Sometime things do not work out for everyone, (we have seen this with people we have met), but I got a GREAT LADY for my wife, and our SON has a Fantastic Mom, We are Very Blessed.    Again, THANK YOU to Visa Journey, you made our Visa Journey a pleasure.

Hi. I received the same RFE. I got married and divorced in DR. USCIS sent me an RFE requesting proof that my foreign divorce is recognized in New York. In order to comply with the RFE, I had my cousin in DR obtain a divorce certificate and divorce decree. She sent it to get both apostille, authenticated and legalized at Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores (MIREX) in the capital. Afterwards, she sent it to me and I got it translated and submitted to USCIS via priority mail and got approved. This process will take you a few weeks but if you have someone in DR to help you, you will be able to submit the evidence before the deadline. Keep in mind that you most likely will spend between $150 to $300 dollars to do just the DR process and not counting getting everything translated and paying for priority mail. I hope that this information will be of any help to you and I wish you good luck and prompt approval. 

Texas you are free to marry 30 days after divorce is final. Unless the respondent signs a waiver. That's what my ex did I married 21 days after divorce was final. No issues with immigration petitioning my now husband here.

DO NOT refile until the divorce is final.  There should be a date on the decree by the judges signature.  Make sure you don't refile until after that date has passed.

Thanks for the advice. Your right
How long do I have to wait to refile just in case do I have to do the divorce innTexas too?

if you were both living in texas, then you should have gotten divorced in texas.
 
wherever you were living, thats where you divorce
