    Hi Redro, No I have not tried to file an I129F. Nor have I tried a K3. I think because I married my wife in her country the I129F is off the table...but not the K3.

    I'm afraid I don't even know how to tell where the lockbox is. But I did send a certified letter to TSC in January for a case update but no response.

    I will look into the k3. Thank you so much!

    Thank you, Redro. My only concern now is, do I dare file a K3 at this point? We could be approved next week. K3 might delay it a few more months. But I'm no lawyer or expert. If I'm still stuck in a background check, my worry is that the same thing will happen if I file a K3.

    Thank you, Family. I really appreciate it. I'm going to give this a other month or two before I do this. Attorney or no attorney involved. I really do appreciate your help. Thank you so very much!!

    Hello Everyone, I am married to a Filipina and our two year wedding anniversary will be April 18th. USCIS started processing our case early July of 2022. We are still at the USCIS stage. My lawyer wants to just file a Mandamus in July of this year. I don't want to spend the 6 grand. I will if I have to though. He has told me, reaching out to a senator will do nothing, contacting a local lawmaker will do nothing, and contacting USCIS is a "colossal waste of time". I feel like he just wants the 6k for filing the writ. He explained to me that if he files it, his "contact" at USCIS will email him and ask what can be done to avoid going to court. Does any anyone have any ideas to prevent me from spending another 6 thousand dollars? My lawyer seems confident in his plan, but I just want this petition approved. It's been nearly two years now. Read my other, threads that should answer any questions..

    I'm going to assume you are in the US. I got married after 18 days and could have gone faster if I wanted. You're going to need to have someone send you your birth certificate. I would think a friend or legal courier could do this for you. The municipality you are in MAY allow you to present a copy of it in which case someone can email it to you, and you can print it off of someone's computer. Go to the embassy in Manila and get your Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry notarized (very important). You will need all divorce decree's and also certificates of any prior marriages. Your fiancée' will need a valid CENOMAR. She may need parental consent if she is under a certain age( I want to say its 24) and if the parents refuse there are forms for that. Some Municipality's you need counseling, some you don't. Go to the local registrar, apply for marriage and wait 10 weekdays. Then book the venue. Or book the venue months prior like I did. You would be wise to have your fiancée get a list of EXACTLY is required for a foreigner to marry a Filipino in her municipality. Be sure to send your marriage certificate to PSA, right away. I was lucky in the fact that I was able to have a lawyer sign my affidavit because it was still right after COVID. Hope this helped! Marriage - U.S. Embassy in the Philippines (usembassy.gov)

    Happening to me to on my PC if I try to access anything relate to Visa Journey. I wiped my PC as I thought I had been hacked.

    @FlyG22 It won't let me submit an inquiry, which is why I mailed a letter to my service center. I do still think those of us that are kind of outside the bubble, so to speak will be getting some good news in the next month or two.

    @FlyG22 I'm cautiously optimistic we will be getting some good news soon. Did talk to my lawyer today who said that if we don't get approved by July, he will file a lawsuit against USCIS. I get the sense from him that it won't come to that though.

    @vinny7 I'm a late May 2022 filer. Similar to you my case is taking extra-long. It did have to go to VSC for background checks. As far as I know it's been at VSC for 7 months. I sent a letter to my original service center(Texas) asking for a status update about 3 weeks ago. Have not heard anything. I uploaded evidence in November(PSA certified marriage certificate) and all that did was increase my processing time by 4 months. Now I'm down to 2 months. But I've been down to two weeks before. I'm happy for all of the approvals, but its frustrating that my wife has still not been approved after 19 months. Sorry, it is BEYOND frustrating.
