Until end of last year, NVC automatically sent interview appointments to those DQ CR1/IR1 cases in Manila. This year, as @top_secret mentioned above, USEM seems to be auto-expediting cases, so applicants could pick their interview schedule themselves. Join the thread below for updates from others pending interview in Manila --

*** Moved from US Citizenship General Discussion to What to do now that you are a USC, where similar topics are discussed ***

*** Moved from Bringing Family of USC forum to AOS from Work/Student/Tourist Visas forum ***

*** Moved from Bringing Family of USC forum to AOS from Work/Student/Tourist Visas forum -- topic is about AOS of parent already in the US *** No need to wait. File when you have all the required documents. Strongly recommend you include I-765 and I-131 in the package. Filing those are (still) free with I-485.

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Progress Reports to the China regional forum, for country-specific input ***

*** Moved from AOS Progress Reports to AOS from Work/Student/Tourist Visas forum ***

The I-130/I-130A doesn't ask, but the DS-260 form does. OP should definitely disclose the denied B visa application on the DS-260.

1. Not an issue, unless your wife visits North Korea, Iran, or Syria. Also, if she stays more than 6 months or gets in trouble with the law in any country other than her current one, she would likely need another police certificate. In any case, make sure your wife updates her travel info on the DS-260 form prior to her visa interview. 2. Not an issue for the consulate in Seoul if you have sufficient liquid assets, preferably in US-based accounts. IIRC, @Redro has first-hand experience with this.

Did you submit other bona fide relationship evidence that are not affidavit letters? If you submitted lots of other evidence that are stronger than affidavit letters, I doubt anyone would care much about the name switch on that one letter. But if all you submitted are affidavit letters, then that might be a concern.

List your husband's actual current address on the I-130 form. Then provide his accurate address history (listing both the current and old addresses) on the I-130A form and later in the process, on the DS-260 form. The bigger concern is whether you (the USC petitioner) have any IDs or account documents that list an address matching your husband's documented address. Do you have documentary evidence (not US tax returns/transcripts) that shows you and your husband reside at the same address?

No issue. Are you a US citizen?

*** Moved from Bringing Family of USC forum to Moving to the US forum, where similar topics about POE procedures are discussed *** As others already mentioned, have your parents ask the ushers at the SFO immigration line where they should go. I entered through SFO multiple times when I had my B visa. Once I was told to line up at the USC/LPR line because the visitors line had too many people already. DFW was my POE when I entered with my immigrant visa. There I was told to go to the visitors line, even after I repeated to the usher that I'm entering with my immigrant visa.

*** Moved from General Immigration-Related Discussion to Bringing Family of USC forum *** Where is the petition now? If it is still at USCIS, your email address doesn't really matter since you (the beneficiary) will not get any email from USCIS anyway. If it has been approved and already at NVC, your father will receive the NVC case number and invoice ID through his email address. Those two numbers are all you need to access your CEAC account. Just ask your father to send them to you. After logging in to CEAC, you can update your email address via the "Email Addresses" -> Edit feature on your CEAC Summary page.

Another vote to wait for the PSA marriage certificate before filing the I-130. The LCR copy is not enough for US immigration.

What is your case Priority Date (PD)?

We did. Printed and scanned only the signature page, then replaced the corresponding page in the filled-out I-864 PDF. The resulting PDF file was well under 1MB. Accepted by NVC and the consulate without any issue.

Remember that your wife is not allowed to work, not even remotely, in the US while on B1/B2. If CBP finds out she works while on B visa, that's an easy way to expedited removal and possibly a ban for misrepresentation.

Great! In that case, your sisters are US citizens from birth. Your mom should book an appointment ASAP at the nearest US consulate to apply for CRBA for your sisters -- https://ca.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/child-family-matters/birth/ Your mom should bring as many documents as possible, evidencing her physical presence in the US before the birth of her children. After she gets your sisters' CRBA, she can immediately apply for US passports for them. Because you are already over 18 years old, you are not eligible for CRBA anymore. But you still have a claim to US citizenship from birth. Apply for a US passport, with the same evidence used for your sisters' CRBA -- https://ca.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/citizenship-claims/

Is he your biological father? How old were you in 2010? Did your father have physical and legal custody of you in the US in 2010? Do you have documentary evidence of that? Just to be clear -- your GC is a 10-year one, right?

Is your father a US citizen? Does he still have access to his email listed on the I-130 petition?

*** Moved from Bringing Family of LPR forum to US Citizenship General Discussion *** Were your parents married when you were born? Does your mom have documentary evidence of her physical presence in the US, like her school or medical records?

Between NOA2 and the interview in Warsaw, your fiancee should be applying for a Schengen visa, in case she doesn't already have one. She should also prepare the originals/certified copies of all the required civil documents and police certificate(s) for the interview. If she needs to be physically in Russia to do so, then that's that. Visa medical can be in Russia or in Poland (assuming she has a valid Schengen visa).

Any reason you picked this route with the layover at SFO? EVA Air has direct flights from Taipei to Seattle, so you could book MNL -> TPE -> SEA. SEA would be your fiancee's POE.

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Progress Reports to IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures *** Need 4 separate I-864 forms, but upload just 1 under each case. As you know, your stepkids are not derivatives, so each kid needs an I-864 listing them as the principal immigrant. Note that your husband is not the only principal applicant. All of them are considered principal applicants.
