  1. Also, make sure you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader for the PDF version. Other PDF reader messes up the information.
  2. Should be alright. (Hubby stayed at Bayview Park and walked to USEM). Or use Grab app to get a ride. I find Grab safer than Taxi.
  3. When I dropped off my dual application at Houston PCG in January, I received their acknowledgement email after 3 weeks. It may take longer when mailed as I saw on dropoff that they received tons of mail every day. When we mailed our ROM to SF consulate, took 3 months for processing. Hope this helps!
  4. I was able to add my husband, without SS, prior to immigrating. I placed SS as 000-00-0000 in our HR site and noted to follow. We have BCBSTX global coverage. BCBS provided me with link to register/create login to their global network then.
  5. Yes, coz your entry visa's intention is to be admitted as Resident and processed as Resident. Just a side note, make sure after immigration, check your passport that you are admitted as IR-1 endorsement. There are few that missed the endorsement or admitted via another way (visa free, another visa) - if this happens, you may need to go back to CBP.
  6. Your IR1 visa contains your Alien#. Landed Resident. That will be your LPR/PRC# if what you see in your Registration Number is less than 9 chars, just add zeros. example in image below 00000473 (8chars); in green card prints as 000-000-473
  7. You are good to enter US with your passport and visa (both unexpired of course). It is electronic now for IR packet. "IV DOCS IN CCD" . Have a safe flight!
  8. You can complete CFO remotely/online. https://www.cfo.gov.ph/ or google CFO Philippines. Once visa is on hand, access CFO website from 7am Monday - Thursday. Note that the website closes when they are full for the day. Once you place your application, upload your docs (the website will tell you what is required), then they will contact you for interview (my beneficiary done it via whatsapp that they provided). Once completed, they email the CFO certificate. Hope this helps!
  9. United States. You can choose Other. Cheaper if mailed to Philippine address than abroad. I suggest request 1 copy initially - it takes a couple of months at least from filing til it reach psa. Then first request takes a while as it is UNCONVERTED.. requires 15 days to convert. I did a mistake to request 5 copies initially - came back 5 copies of not yet available - wasted money. So, after some time, I requested 1 copy and got it. Next, requested more copies. After sending application, scan and email a copy on the psaserbilis email referencing your new ref number - so that they can pull it faster otherwise, it may result to unconverted again. You can use the PSA ROM for any Philippine transaction that requires showing marriage status. Hope this helps!
  10. Where ever your location is/are. If wife is in Philippines, she goes to Notary there to sign the ROM. While you, if here in US, visits notary. If you are both here, you can use 1 notary. Essentially, notary is to certify that document was signed in person by the person.
  11. Did the SS Card arrived already? If yes, then yes, he can start working. endorsed visa I-551 (as replied in your other pose) is the temporary LPR/green card. Once SS card arrives, you then get driver's license, accept legal work, etc.
  12. For my husband, we paid before the entry. We got his card exactly 90th day of entry. (Houston, TX). It varies, we have chat group that they have received theirs quickly. If you guys have not received GC on by January 15, 2024 (90 days from application (sep 11) for you), then you can file inquiry online. Regardless though, you can use the endorsed visa as your I-551 stamp as it is the temporary green card.
  13. Some state/county does sputum test again. But no worries, they will take care of you at no cost.
  14. Yes. the accepting SC can be different from the processing SC. Especially when filed online. When I filed, Nebraska was my letter. I asked Emma after 2 weeks of filing, found out its in Vermont. Got the approval from Vermont.
  15. 6 months validity from Day 1 medical to use it as a requirement for Point of Entry. So if you have your medical April 1 and 2 - and you are cleared, then your interview with USEM is April 30, or May 30, or June 30... If approved for Visa, your visa will have expiry of around November 1. which means you have to enter US before that date. Scenario - your medical is April 1 - you are sent for sputum collection scheduled April 17,18,19.. your will be given a schedule to return to SLEC for vaccine around June 14 (it takes 8 weeks for s sputum culture).. If you are called earlier than June 14, it is possible your sputum test return anomalies. Otherwise, you get your vaccines/medical completion on your Return Day. If you see you are closing to your return day and no calls received, go book/watch your interview slot probably a week after return day (my hubby had his interview the day after Return day - we advised SLEC of interview schedule so they can send the file to USEM on return day to be ready for an early morning interview). Once you got issued a visa, USEM can only issue you visa with expiry around November 1, which is your 6 months from Day 1. You then need to plan for CFO next then fly out and enter before your visa expiry. Hope this helps!
