ROB time?

Ok, so follow up. After receiving my Priority Mail, the SF PCG took about 5 days to process the ROB. Just back from the Houston PCG where we applied for junior's RP passport. So, he's now an official dual citizen and international man of mystery. And not yet 3 months old.

It's a few months yet before I can file my wife's N-400 and at that time we may well be in the Philippines. About how long from the date we file would it be likely for her presents be required for something? Fingerprinting, interview, whatever. I know all cases are different but would a minimum 2, 3, 4 months be likely? Thanks

Original and 4 copies of the BC, 4 copies of this, 4 copies of that, 4 copies of the World Book Encyclopedia, yada yada yada. You know how kafkaesque the RP gets.

He was born in CO so the ROB needs to be done in SF or we could send/take it to Houston so they could send it to SF. Seed smarter to mail it to directly. I don't know if ROB and passport could be done simultaneously but didn't want to fly to SF.

Our son was born in October and he already has a US passport. The state department took all of 2 days to process and mail it. Maybe I wasted $60 on expedited service because what kind of background check can you do on a baby? Anyway, his mom is a Filipina so I sent in a ream of papers to the PCG in San Francisco for the ROB. Does anyone know how long that takes? Once we have that we can apply for his RP passport but the consulate website says that takes 6-8 weeks due to it being produced by the DFA in the RP and then mailed. I think we'll probably go to the RP DFA on his US passport and gets his RP passport there. If we can get an appointment. But just wondering how long the ROB takes if anyone has experience.

I-485 Question 51
-
We won't be able to file the N-400 for about 6 months yet, and a good bit of that will be out of the country, but is there a domicile requirement for the N-400? And what would be acceptable as proof of that? We're full time RVers, so addresses are kind of difficult. My mail goes to a friend's house in Ohio so we have some financial docs that have that address but do they need more, like a lease?

Okay, so here it is... The interviewer thought I had answered incorrectly but I explained and he said something like, that doesn't apply to US military. I said that the instructions need to reflect that. He changed my answers but didn't try to make me resign and then he approved her. Waiting for the next go round with the N-400.

I guess you should be an IO then. -

Skyman replied to Skyman's topic in Tourist Visas
Sad right? Because the DS-160 just contains bio data and nothing about property holdings or other things that would tie a person to their country which is what the B-2 is supposed to be about. There should be an allowance for at least a few pages of attachments so you can show compelling reasons to return. Meanwhile, we have an open border with Mexico. -

Skyman replied to Skyman's topic in Tourist Visas
Never seen that before. In our case, the intent at reclaim was still a visit. We had return flights. Those were cancelled by the airline. That, along with constantly changing rules as to who could enter the Philippines as well as how (Quarantines, Vaccines, forms, etc.), were what made our decision to change status and stay. Covid changed a lot of people's plans. But we aren't here permanently. -

Skyman replied to Skyman's topic in Tourist Visas
Negative. She used it to visit. Covid conditions caused our plans to change. You may recall reading about the scamdemic and the ridiculous rules made globally. If change of status was not an option, why would it be an option? I did not suggest that and I resent the implication. -

Skyman replied to Skyman's topic in Tourist Visas
Petitioning her for US citz? That would be lying. After my wife has her blue passport we will back and forth, part year residents of both countries. I'm a permanent resident of the Philippines. There's no reason for her mom to stay here. All her family is there. As for her suddenly deciding to stay here she was with her sister in Australia 90 days and didn't decide to stay there. -

I am having trouble finding the post but there was a case posted this year where a someone was denied a B visa because previously a relative had adjusted on a B visa. I haven't heard of anyone being given an actual reason why their B was denied. Just a form letter saying you weren't approved because you didn't meet the qualifications, yada, yada, yada... Lot of people make assumptions to why they were denied but it's a guess. Not really. If it was even asked it was only by name and I'm sure my wife's name isn't unique. I can understand that being a problem if the change was filled on her first trip but after over 10 years you're really slow balling it.
