Is there a way to edit a comment? I wanted to clarify that the visa my mother has IS expired..

I was under the impression they told me that it wouldnt expire until 2 days from now.

Thank you. I honestly dont know where to go to to ask for help.

I am sorry for your loss.
 

If the previous visa is still valid, try to get the passport back today and go fly to USA before it expires. 

I apologize, my parents visa both expired December 13 2022. I honestly thought it was still valid. 

How it wouldve made it so much easier. Thank you for responding! And for the condolences..

So I'm writing this in behalf of my filipino 71yo mother who wants to attend her mother's funeral next week. Grandma died just this Christmas.

My parents have an existing tourist visa thats expiring by the end of the year. So were processing the renewal but cannot seem to find a way to get it expedited.

We just ended up with a confirmation that the waiver is completed, and an email that gives the instruction how she needs to submit all the necessary documents for the renewal to proceed. There is no scheduled interview. The fee is already paid, ds160 is already filled.

Does anybody have any sound advice what to do, where to go, who to contact to ask for help so my mother can make it on time to attend her mother's funeral, please? 

i should have come here a month earlier i knew the people of visajourney is just a wellspring of invaluable, reliable information. im calling our lender and asking about what were qualified to apply for.

THANK YOU HRQX, MILLEFLEUR and JORGEDIG 🙌 if we get approved for any of these loans that could potentially help us with the downpayment? im buying each of you pizza!! (or whatever food youd want delivered lol youd be saving us thousands!)

you guys are awesome jumping in to help out when theres really not much youre getting out of this. i was hesitant and outright refused our lender to even educate us about applying because of the fear of becoming a liability and causing stress to someone who took the biggest leap of faith for me to migrate here.

and youve each afforded me the confidence and peace of mind to move forward better equipped with my newfound knowledge. ♥️🙌

Thank you for responding!!

my concern is, they do pay for the downpayment (8k maximum) and it's forgivable in 15 years.

another is the CPLP.. where theres a possibility of being given 30k but its zero interest.. here's a summary:

The Community Partners Loan Pool (CPLP) provides qualified home buyers with down payment assistance: Up to 20% of the sales price, not to exceed $30,000 (effective May 1, 2018), when combined with a NC Home Advantage Mortgage™. Up to 10% of the purchase price when combined with a USDA's Section 502 loan.

i wont be a liability right? just clarifying before we apply. cause i am so afraid that my sponsoring aunt would get in trouble when she risked filing an affidavit of support for me then i end up abusing it.. 

also, it wont be a problem when i apply for citizenship in 5 months right? this wont be a hindrance if we get approved for these loans? 

really appreciate the time and wisdom.. thank you!

ps. attached is from the USCIS website edited sept 2019.

I am aware were not allowed to ask help from the government, to be a freeloader, otherwise my aunt who sponsored me (signed an affidavit of support) would have to pay back the amount used by me. 

but hubby and i each have a credit score of 749+, ive worked in the same job for 2 years. were already pre-approved for a conventional loan.

is applying for a USDA loan a major No-no? or is this something we could actually try to avail? what does being a liability mean? would i be a liability if we applied for the USDA loan? 

every realtor, agent/lender have encouraged us to apply for USDA but they couldnt for sure say if having an affidavit of support will hurt us. they just know if youre a legal immigrant, its never an issue.

help?
