Your SO opted to get it delivered to her residence hence the delivery fee by 2go. If she went to pick it up it would have been free other than the transportation fee.

 She also carried her proof of full vaccination (Moderna).  They didnt care.

 

 

It seems like they are making this up as they go.

 

Under guidance of the chinese. REFUSING to acknowledge western vaccines to make a stronger case for chinese vaccine supremacy. chinese overlords would be pissed off. sad actually. 

Its rediculous b/c the same pfizer, moderna, and AZ also are available in PH to some extent.

So my wife's  Visa was finally approved so I was just wondering it's my understanding that when traveling to the US that she has to have a covid test so I was just wondering is there a certain place that she has to go for that

Congrats! Do you know to what extent the US Embassy in MNL functioning? My Wife is waiting for her Interview date.

My DQ was on 7/9/2020. Her interview has just been scheduled for Feb 11, 2021

How soon after did you hear from the Embassy for the interview date after you were DQ'd ? 

Congrats! We were DQ also around the same time frame of yours and waiting for the interview date. HOw did you get your expedite?

Not sure if applicable anymore, but the EVA Airlines from MNL to IAH (Houston) is a pretty good option. IVE taken this route for the past several years now..transits through TPE/Taiwan.

My fiancé got a call from the embassy yesterday and did an interview over the telephone. We originally interviewed in January and got administrative processing at which point we submitted what they asked for. Yesterday the asked for some more things ie proof of relationship and info on her kids. Now we are waiting again to hear from them as we submitted that stuff today. Good luck to all. They are operating but have a Skelton crew I do believe. 

That's interesting. Can you elaborate more about how that happened? Questions asked? any interview info would be interesting. Thanks!

How long are the IV fees being processed at this time? THe AOS fee processed quickly but the IV fee is taking a bit longer/in progress still. Thanks guys.

That is indeed a long time. I would call everyday - different officers have different levels of knowledge. Best time to call if 5 minutes before they open, or close to their closing time. 

Good luck and keep us posted.

I got through in 5 mins or less calling around 11:30pm  eastern time. No one calls then.

Took 3 business days for it to clear in my case.

Was it for both Fees?  My AOS processed quickly - 3-4 days. But i'm waiting for the IV fee for a week now. 

Is it fine to "Submit" the AOS portion before even the IV portion payment is still "IN PROCESS"? Or should i have waited to submit both AOS and IV parts around the same time frame? 

Hey Guys, got my Case number and just paid my AOS fee. Waiting to for payment to process but working on gathering the fun financial stuff. Will be submitting 2017-2019 tax returns instead of the tax transcript due to IRS not able to obtain it.  Question to you guys for those who are turning in tax returns, other than the 1040s and w2's, as part of the tax return part would you include the following worksheets/papers that was part of the submittal:

• "Tax History Report" 
• Qualified Dividend and Capital Gains Tax Worksheet
• Tax Payment Worksheet
• Federal Carryover Worksheet
• All 4 bullets above Say " Keep for your records" but wasn't necessarily submitted to the IRS with the tax return.

Thanks! 

Yeah me too. I am in the same situation as well. Couldn't request transcript online b/c of the cell phone number/name and they're not taking mail applications. I think i have to do what youre doing also. Just commenting for my reference. 

Good luck. 

I added my wife to my health insurance plan for 2020 with the assumption she would be here this year (crosses fingers) and as part of the immigration requirements. Additionally, she can use my insurance in the Philippines as well which is good too just in case. 

WHen the time comes, i will have the print out of my flex benefits with my spouse's name on it.

Congrats,  now more waiting at NVC unfortunately. We've been waiting for over a month at NVC to get AOS fees paid. System glitch or something.

Yea, our IV fee has been paid for some time now . It is the AOS fee we're waiting on. I had to call NVC and the lady said sometimes the forms get stuck depending on where they went or where they came from, or something to that effect.  She sent it to her supervisor last Wednesday and said they would create a ticket and would get things unstuck. Said it may take a couple of days. Still waiting. My attorney said there was systems issues with the payment process. They need to fix it for sure. It has been 3 weeks now.

How long did it take you to get your case number? and Did they just automatically send you a "welcome to the NVC club" email or package via mail?

Got approved this AM.  

No transfer. Got an RFE. 

Priority Date/PD: June 4, 2019. 3 days shy of one year.

You have to wait now. It will probably take a week or two to see another update or approval (from what I see what others say)

Yeah that's what i thought as well but the email caught me off guard as if something happened. 

Got an alert via text and email my rfe arrived yesterday afternoon. Today this AM i got an email titled "We have taken an action on your case" and says to login.   I've logged into both sites and don't see anything any update.  

What should i be seeing? Is the Approved or etc email?

Yaaaaaay. Case has been approved today.

Case type (paper mail converted to online): IOE

I-130 PD: 8/02/2019

I-129F PD: 11/22/2019

RFE: 4/10/2020

Response to RFE (Marriage certificate): 4/13/2020

Approval notice date: 4/29/2020

I got an RFE also...i'm glad to see the turnaround time was just 2 weeks-ish. 

Got a change in status of my wife's application via text today....excited for a second then it said i owe an REQUEST for Additional Evidence. Greaaaat. To be honest, i thought i did over and above the evidence portion.

So is it only through literally an incoming letter it shows what you owe?

Given, i submit asap, How much did i delay the process?

Thanks!

That's mostly classified. 😎

But I can tell you this right now: USCIS or Embassy, they will use any public information available, including social media, as well as any criminal database records available to any 3-letter agency, including FBI and DHS, etc. There's also the chance that they might be looking into intelligence received from other countries. So, no one really knows.

But, what are you afraid of anyway? If you're all good, then you're good right? Just saying.

If you're asking about the length of the process .. It probably takes very long because they receive thousands of requests on a daily basis and they can only handle so much. Talk about bureaucratic inter-agency relations.

THnaks! I'm just curious in general But i do appreciate the response. I've got nothing to worry about, nor does the mrs,  at least that we are aware of. But it is just concerning b/c on chronological number, i believe two numbers up and two numbers down were approved.   Im just thinking that its where my wife is from...high level of fraud.   Can i PM you my LIN#? Maybe you can find something more than i have. WE've never got transferred that i know of and have been stuck at LIN. 

Can anyone shine any light on the background check, just curious about the process. I know its different for everyone but is USCIS like calling specific works of employments, verifying addresses, church databases, checking social media accounts, checking country wanted lists, etc. Just curious.

Hi everyone,

There hasn't been many updates over the past two weeks, probably over holidays, and I except this to remain as slow until January 2020.

 

For those who want some statistics:

approx. 140 new I-129F cases received, rejected, and/or expedite request denied between Nov 7 and Dec 3.

Only 11 new I-130 cases received between Nov 7 and Dec 3.

 

Only the following cases have been updated:

LIN1990554603 - Form I-129F - Received:06/26/2019    Denied:11/25/2019
LIN2090062627 - Form I-129F - Received:10/21/2019    RFE Response Received:11/30/2019
LIN1990598456 - Form I-129F - Received:07/22/2019    Denied:12/3/2019
LIN1990712332 - Form I-129F - Received:09/19/2019    Denied:12/3/2019

 

As you can see, there's no specific order to processing still.

Hope to see more soon.

Thanks for this!!

I'm really curious to see the breakdown of which countries are approved faster than others. Does that stat exist or does that open a pandoras box?

So i'm looking at the recent I-129F denials post and i see one number one up and one below me. What should i be thinking?

I wish i should be thinking it's soon it's soon. Crosses fingers.
