Hello,

I recently acquired my citizenship and I wanted to bring my parents here, so I can take care of them. However, I'm having trouble looking at the costs for health coverage for seniors aged 65 and above. I'm currently living in Pennsylvania, and I read some discussions that say that they would not be qualified for Pennie or Medicare. I am trying to look for other health coverage, but I'm only seeing those for 65 and below. Does anyone know any health plan that I can enroll them in?

Thanks 

We had the interview in Philadelphia office today, and it was one of the most informal and longest interview I ever had. The officer was chatty and friendly, he even shared some of his personal life to us. The atmosphere was so relaxed. He would ask questions like "How is it living with him?" or "Do you miss your family?" and "Did you get to choose the paints for the house?" Quite interesting how it went. Since my partner is quite chatty himself, we were there for a good 30 minutes, I think. In the end, he said that our application was quite "positive" and that if we pass the security checks, he'll be able to take action on our case that day or tomorrow. I got an email the next day to this. It was a pleasant surprise. Good luck to everyone who are still waiting! Hang in there!

Congrats! I'm waiting for that status too.

BTW, I thought EAD/ AP is processed at NBC? Does it have anything to do with state? Just curious.

Thank you! I hope you get updates soon!  I'm not really sure about where it is produced 🤔. Thank you for the clarification @Drenimarcus 😆

Congrats!

How long did it take from EAD approved to new card being produced for you?

Thank you! It went from fingerprint scanned to new card being produced. I never had the ead approved status...if there is one 🤔

I'm happy to report that our case has finally moved. EAD card being produced and interview date scheduled (Philadelphia office). Good luck to those waiting and having their interview like me! 🥳🎉

Congrats to those who got their interview scheduled! Still awaiting mine 😂 Is there anyone from Philadelphia who got their interview scheduled already?

how long after they recieved did they send notification via text or email

I got notification via text four days after we sent the package. We sent our package on august 9  and got a text on august 13. For the biometrics appointment, we got notified via mail, no text or email.

Hello July filers! August filer here! I just got a mail for my biometrics appointment on September 6. We filed AOS on August 12. I'm in Philly, so it'll probably take 8 months to a year for our interview date. Haha! Hopefully soon but just enjoying the wait. Although I would love to get the employment authorization soon...starting to feel like a bum here.  😂😄

Hi everyone! We're an August filer too! Just received a schedule for biometrics on September 6, filed i-485 on August 12! Goodluck to us all! 😆

 2GO is to text/call if a number is provided ...  

I'm pretty sure I did. 🤔 Still, good to know that they went to my house three times to get it delivered. 😁

Glad you got your visa ..  weird you didn't get a text.     All is well that ends well! 

 

Next CFO for the sticker

Thank you so much! You were very helpful. I wished I stumbled in this site sooner 😂

I asked the courier about not getting any message, he said the embassy sends it, not them. Lol! 

Thank you for the very helpful tips! I guess I'll wait before I visit my parents in the province. I expect it shouldn't be that long, since the home delivery I listed is in Manila

Do you remember the delivery method you chose when you completed your DS-160?

Thanks for the reminder! Had to double-check my documents to remember that I chose home delivery. 😁

My status just changed to "Issued".  Yipeeeee!!!!

Me three 😆😆😆 so what's next? Do they deliver it at our doorstep, or do we wait for a message that it's ready for pick-up? 

I was there on Feb 26. Arrived at 7am and finished at 2:30pm. I guess the place was pretty packed because of the holiday a day before that. The next day, I was there at 8:30am, got my finger scanned, and was directed to go to counter A. I was so nervous that I had to undergo the sputum test. After two hours, I was called to the second floor to get vaccinated, wait for my results, and I was done. Praise the Lord!

Update to Form I-134, Affidavit of Support

03/05/2019 12:00 AM EST

 

02/13/19. Starting 05/06/19, we will only accept the 02/13/19 edition. Until then, you can use the 11/30/16 edition

Thanks for the information. I'm having my interview next week, and I'm feeling really really nervous. My partner has never visited Philippines before. I'm always the one visiting him in US. I hope that won't seem weird on their part. If I get disapproved with my K-1 visa, I hope they won't take my  visitor visa away too. I will really be crushed.

Ah so she will be having her medical exam on monday? I'm going to have my medical exam on Tuesday and I just am had my period today. I just want to know if they will let me do the urine test and physical exam..because my interview is on march 22.. 

 

Please let me know if they let her proceed or not. Thanks

I just had my medical last feb 26. I had my period then, and they just asked me to make sure no blood is mixed with the sample. If there is, you have to return and try again after an hour. Otherwise, there's no problem 😀

If the sponsor (your fiance) claims his mother on his income taxes then YES she is a dependent, if mom is not claimed on his taxes then NO she is not a dependent.   There are no PARTIAL dependents      

 

Not on his tax return, not a dependent.

 

 

Thanks for being so helpful! I've been trying to google the answer for some time now 😅

Yes, you can go ahead and schedule the interview. Also don't forget about doing the medical soon as well. 

Thanks guys! And another question, although I already posted this in another forum, I just want to make sure. In i-134 form, does the mother of the sponsor counts as a partial dependent if she works, and she is part of the household of the sponsor? Im rather confused with this because in the tax returns I believe she was never listed as a dependent of the sponsor. So would it make sense if she is listed as a partial dependent in the i-134 since she is in the same household?

As far as I know, but please do confirm with someone that knows 100% sure; but if the mom works, you won’t need to claim her as a dependent. As she is paying for herself. 

Gotcha..thanks!!

Hi guys...newbie here 😀😆 quick question, can we schedule for an interview already if our status at ceac is "ready" or do we wait for the email of the us embassy in manila? Thanks

Our case status was updated to "ready" too 😀. We are in the process of preparing the documents already. Does anyone know who counts as dependents in the i-134? I've read that's it's usually the wife or kids that appear as dependents. But how about the mother of the sponsor? What if they are in the same household with the sponsor, but the mother is working as well? Should she be included as a partial dependent since they are in the same household? 

Our case is in transit as well 😍
