The less invasive is they inject to cut off blood flow, and treat medicine. I'll have her with insurance as soon as her green card processes, and tax ID becomes SSN. Lap is about a million pesos but I think that's not going to work anymore due to it swelling. The worst part of removal is that they come back often, so she'd like to simply manage it the way I mentioned before.

Philippines has as good as any you mention, but far too invasive ... I lost my mom last year to a completely preventable procedure in a famous Thai hospital... they left surgical fragments inside, septic and dead. ST LUKES in BGC is just too much, 1 million php ... but yet again, very invasive. Our plan b is abandon visa, do it myself again, let em rip out her female parts.

Yes.. ironically i864 was asked if me today via email, my income overseas is Freelance, and I work referrals in real estate and I do side gigs as a expat relo agent for new folks... and I'm disabled but that's a brain injury from a life changing accident 30 yrs ago... I have hormone issues for sure, cognitive too, I'm majorly behind on maintenance & this like sleep study, new cpap, pre diabetes etc. Am I overthinking yes sure, but t he far that kudos me up at night is I care about our son getting the English speaking A+ rated school there on Lithia Fl vs his public tagalog school here which i must admit they're rough around the edges but kind. They hardly have school, they're always out early or day of for a holiday on and on but his work is all tagalog mo ma not at all English learning words like we do in the states. He's registered for Aug 2025 school year. Thank you ... Rob

I wonder why the attorney focused on my wife's medical, I said to him it seems it would provoke the question of cost and plan and needless extra RFE VS using job letter is solid as well as coupled with our boy needing to go to school with registering helps prove domicile intent. Thank you for the insight and I will mention this discovery about the petitioner vs beneficiary... BTW is what you say on some site or somewhere I can email him? People tend to believe if it is written, but... that said, I belive what you say 100%.. makes sense.

Yes we do thanks, I really didnt want to hire one but, they can navigate better in theory. It's so easy to do your own and frankly giving them the answers on their answer sheet to fill out at their office was harder than logging in USCIS and doing it all online. It is what it is...

I'm sorry if I was not clear enough, it took USCIS almost 8 months to finally close & revoke. We had a death (my mom), some illnesses (me), treatment that just cant seem to be managed here... so we tried to just deal with our mess, take a break from the highly stressful mess, and focus on our little family... that is until my wifes myoma has gotten unbelievably big, hysterectomy here, vs medicine and less invasive in Florida, its a medicine not available in the Philippines btw...and she's 35. Anyway, we did a great job with explaining the overlap and all that. I hired this attorney Mr Manny of Manny, Gordon, Zeller... for specific DCF and I'm kind of frustrated he didnt send MNL the request and include all the doc, ie complete package for them to decide, all he included was request, reasoning, doc letter for my wife and that I'm a long time resident on a spouse visa. His plan now is DCF and send the complete package since MNL has ignored an email and 2 weeks later a fedex, not a peep not a decline, not an acknowledgement, nothing... So in summary there is no case to expedite, if the DCF fails they will take it to USCIS field office in Tampa and figuratively walk it through the process by following it with people they know there until its accepted, then expedite, then NVC blah blah... I'm sorry, this is very hard to explain in detail.

Thanks... i want to know how to get in, speak to them. After the overlap I got some treatment but not all, we settled in, we had contracted in 2020 ro build a home and paid for it in 5 yrs, construction was escrowed with MegaWorld and we just signed off on order to construct. We had a good year and left the past behind ... that is until this myoma she has swelled to what looks like 8 months pregnant. The paradigm shifted back to expedite rather than simply filing again, thats why we hired this so called DCF attorney... and option 2 is he will file at the field office in Tampa, and walk it through in a rather of months. That's why I'm asking where I can go to bring the actual i130 as I understand it must be done in person, then they decide. The fedex.was incomplete .. only had the request.

To be clearer, PD 2021, expedited after DQ May 2023 and medical and interview July... during the interview she asked about something I didnt know the difference of, a divorce decree vs stamped divorce paperwork, there was a signed by Judge date a week after we were given an all clear by my useless attorney. My divorce was brutal and 2 yrs, hence why it was bifurcated, the settlement involved substantial capitol. Anyway it was to be amended, MNL called me to say we did nothing wrong and to simply hopefully amend at uscis since upon discovery we immediately married again to show commitment. Fast forward ... uscis revoked we were advised to let it die, and to start over on a EXCEPTIONAL circumstance. I have not had communication with the embassy in over a year, the prior time was when I asked for my docs back but that was it. There were no long chains of emails, just now with the attorney. We qualify in every aspect of DCF, if for no other reason than my wife. I would post picture but its not in good taste. So, simply not answering a fedex or email is reprehensible, inhumane.

Because we are one, we have not been apart and its detrimental to our son, he has severe latchkey issues, besides the letter is for my wife and her treatment is not available in the Philippines as noted by her Philippines physician. I could return but it creates a hardship because we are dependent on each other in a wildly personal way that I dont necessarily wish to convey here, lets just say we have separation issues and it is well documented by my doc of 25 yrs and my psychology doc here of 5 yrs. Returning would pose a safety issue for me, and my family. Our son, right or wrong doesn't know tagalog and wouldn't travel without her, he panics when she is not even in the house. Anyway, just know id love to just leave, that'd be easy... but I will not separate for any government, no way.

First and foremost, thanks for reading and possibly advising. We are married, living in the Philippines together since 2017, never left and am on a spouse visa as an American living abroad, we have a US CRBA son age 6 and own property, bank accounts, credit, literally everything is both names. In the past week had a week overlap which was from a prior divorce, the overlap happened because of an attorney error, already addressed and flushed the old application, we remarried IMMEDIATELY Utah together on our sofa yet USCIS still wanted us to start over, we had gotten to the last interview without knowing about rhe overlap since my paperwork from divorce was bifurcated I didnt give dates any thought until they informed us at the embassy we needed to amend at uscis or refile. All this was 2023 and was with expedite. Now, 2025 we hired an attorney to deal with it since my health is failing, my wife's tumor is huge and our son doesn't know a word of tagalog AND I have a job offer that expires in October that I am to be physically there for appointments. First they emailed the MNL embassy for DCF request, then they FEDEX the same request a month ago, all have been ignored. I want to bring docs and follow protocol to meet in person at the embassy but I cant seem to get a way in or figure out how to compel them to respond to the obvious life or death situation, we have 2 letters, one for me, one from my wife doctor, her case they cant treat here blah blah, same with mine. Any ideas?

It came in from the states, and it is not an inbound number. I called the embassy & emailed as well, they have not yet replied.

The woman who called only identified herself as a consular for dept of state at the embassy, they don't say this js Mrs Jones or whomever but I could (which I have) asked via email the process for request for consulate direct processing. Thank you!

Thanks & noted on sticking to less filler, I presumed based on comments that I left blanks... Anyway, as soon as we discovered the overlap we married Utah online together on our sofa, the consular in Manila called me to say don't worry and now that's it's legit for immigration then we can send it to amend or you may start over. Do we fill our I 130 and all supporting doc and send it to Manila or how did you all ask for consular processing.

No, we just finally saw that the old I 130 was revoked. Embassy said they kept our docs still for administrative purposes because they advised if we could not amend then another petition would be smooth now that we have no fault on the old, it was not fraud and therefore the consular told me verbally to refile with expedite (although she could not give legal advice). The things that have changed since the 221g, we closed on our house and lot on the Philippines that was just a contract to build, we also have a mortgage together, in addition to the joint everything we have had since 2017, our son together is a dual US citizen born abroad with passport. We'd submitted bank, credit, loans, cars, insurances, leases over the years, yet the USCIS on review still revoked because the approval was based on an error oversight that they including us didn't notice. The prior 2 week overlap was direct my attorneys fault, he told me it was done and enjoy my new life, knew we were marrying and was mistaken because it had not been entered in the books for another 2 weeks ... I never gave any thought to dates because it was bifurcated and my divorce was done from thousands of miles away... Anyway it is what it is.

When it was discovered there was an overlap, we immediately remarried with the state of Utah and sent it to manila who then said no that you have a valid marriage in the eyes of immigration ot needs to be amended or revoked so you can start over if they don't amend, don't worry you are not in trouble. We got 221g and immediately set it straight sitting both together in our kitchen same location. We have not been apart since 2017, own joint everything and banks and l credit cards etc... wife even has a 750 fico score and has ssn ... and our proof of cohabitation is substantial, far beyond average. I also have statements from those that know us, politicians to police to doctors to family all wrote letters. Yes great question thanks for asking! By the way the "visa guy" here i know told me that they don't do direct consular processing in the embassies anymore since Trump and I said no, it'd not done via uscis field offices it is done skipping uscis and direct with dept of state as they do with tourist and others that are direct file at the embassy.

They did want to separate us, with not one but 3 doctor letters and Psychiatrist and Psychologist and MD all said do not separate the family, the child went ballistic when we tested him by my wife going out to the store alone, he screams where is mommy I want mommy .. and then begins to spin and cry and yell. We try to deescalate and the situation and doctors all said stop it, he is so co dependent on you both, he will eventually grow out of it. Part of our school troubles is this codependency and he acts out.

Luckily I was educated already on processes from here ... so forms are relatively straight forward. The idea came from an attorney and me being so negative at the time thought it was bs, I believed with USCIS field offices abroad leaving so too went direct processing, boy was I wrong. I've wasted months debating on filing again... Our case is precisely what I've been asking for at the embassy when the 221g was given... We asked for a face to face separated interview, and allow us to prove it. It's really sad someone has lived in the same house, same bed for 8 years plus and have a child together that went through the crba process ... we even had renewed his passport as a minor child which requires both parents present which we even included in the reply, it was literally 20 feet away from the consular who does immigration and for what it was worth we all 3 attended her interview, my son and I waited in the chairs adjacent her interview. Point being the entire revole was they believed I lived in the US and she overseas. It's incredibly frustrating...

Thank you, and definitely yes multiple doctor letters, in fact they expedited at embassy level last year and conditions if anything have worsened. Thanks! Anyone know how long it takes? An attorney who brought up the idea had said 3 months total! But he wanted $2500 bucks plus fees... I think I can handle it on my own, just like we did so far.

Our timeline has not been updated since the whole mess had me so disgruntled, it will get updated soon. In May 2021 we had discussed filing, we'd married in March of 2017 here in the Philippines, I have never gone back to the states, I have always lived with my wife and our son born in June 2018 and crba with passport the same year... Anyway filed, approved no issues, all was good, had some issues with NVC proving domicile intent, overcame that, expedited embassy interview July 2023, during interview all went well until the consular asked for a better copy of the divorce decree because the original was the entire divorce doc including stamp but they wanted decree. Well well well, the decree was dated 2 weeks AFTER we'd wed 8 years ago, the attorney I had at the time gave me the all clear to marry and to enjoy my new life... blah blah well he failed to tell me the judge signed it but it had not been entered into the books until weeks later creating an overlap of just 10 days. OBVIOUSLY it was painfully clear there was an overlap, consular even called me, said Mr Lurer don't worry, we understand, this happens more than you know BUT the important part is you did nothing wrong and we can clearly see by your communication with the attorney it was a mistake. (I did bifurcated)... so it separated marriage and finances...Anyway, consular said they would package it up and see if USCIS wants to amend but even if you have to start over, it is fine and won't be an issue. Sooooo we amdended, USCIS in their infinite wisdom decided we had to prove bonafides... I say infinite wisdom because in their NOIR they indicated "we know how difficult it can be when one party is in the Philippines and the other is in the US" ... WHICH was completely wrong, our expedite was on grounds for us to travel together and that I am in need of medical that is not available in the philippines and my wife has a tumor and our son has bad bad bad bad ADHD, and they still insisted I am in the US even with proof we own a house that is upper end modern, plus here in the Philippines in both names, cars in both names, on and on and on bank, child together etc etc... So we sent it all via mail because they wanted it mailed so we gathered all proof and they said nope, denied. Lawyers say it is almost impossible to overcome this and start over... so here we are. Almost a year wasted.. We were officially revoked months ago, I said heck we will just stay here and kiddo will start school and we will just deal with life one day at a time, we had everything packed, dog export papers done, car sold, house almost sold, etc.. and so we just folded in and focused on our family. Now school started, the kid is so ADHD the school booted him out, private won't take him and we have no options, the public school where he barely speaks tagalog is the only option... and a bad one at that. The embassy had told me if it is so bad, get on a plane and take your son back to the US and leave your wife!! So, illegals can not be separated but it is cool with you to separate families??? I digress, anyway I have 4 separate doc letters stating it is not good to separate us, I have letters about me, letters about wife all in need of treatment not available or too expensive here. In the US I have a job, a good job paying quadruple what I would here, I do it here but it is online so I have to share my commissions rather than keeping it all. Anyway, any advice? We need to act fast, the kid is age 6 and really not being taught well, we are home schooling but I am limited working and dealing with my own mental issues with our situation... My wife literally looks 8 months pregnant, she is not, she just has this myoma that is big and painful... I am constantly sick here, I need so much medical catching up needed.
