  1. They have their own parking garage on site. I remember it well because it was nearly impossible to maneuver my truck around in it. There is a sign at the street entrance to lead you to it.
  2. I was referring to RFE for the I-693 (which they almost certainly will not get since it should still be valid), not the DS-3025. I said they should send the DS-3025.
  3. Previously, the I-693 was only valid for something like 60 days after it was signed. That is no longer the case. USCIS already has your I-693. K-1 does not submit I-693 unless specifically asked for it via RFE from USCIS. You can send your DS-3025 though.
  4. They were only asking which middle name you wanted on the card since both would not fit. They did not legally change your name (except possibly to your married name). By SSA definition, only the first and last names are "legal" names. Middle name(s) or suffixes are just for differentiation among similar names, but they are not considered part of the legal name by the SSA. First, middle, middle, would all have to fit on line 1. Line 2 is reserved for last and suffix.
  5. She will be fine. It's a 15 minute walk from Casa Bocobo to the Embassy. It will take away some of her nervous energy too. Mine also walked. She was a bit closer to the embassy (actually right across the street), but that made her walk to SLEC longer. Her walking pace is like a sprint, though, so nobody would be able to catch her anyway.
  6. Mine was the other way around. First, the seminar, then individual counseling. It was quite relaxed. Nothing to get worked up over anymore. Bring the same documents you took to the embassy. One of the questions they like to ask is beneficiary's mother's maiden name. Mine was swift enough to realize she had a copy of my birth cert and glanced at it. Make sure she knows your address, state, phone number, and anything about kids or previous marriages. Tell her to be confident. Mine took place in Cebu. Others may be different. I feel like they are running it like it was intended now, to prepare them for moving to another country, instead of looking for any reason they can to delay you.
  7. CFO is all in-person now. They prefer that you already have the visa prior to CFO. It's not difficult to get an appointment, so there is no rush. You should be able to complete CFO within a few days of her getting her passport back after the interview. Getting in before you have the visa is difficult and not really worth the effort.
  8. Ours changed to "issued" and was picked up by LBC the day after the interview.
  9. You are somewhat at the mercy of NVC. "Sent to NVC" only means they strapped it to a turtle's back and hope the turtle will eventually wander to NVC. Seriously, though, it takes 2-4 weeks for NVC to receive your petition and another 2-3 weeks for them to assign the MNL case number. Both of those are estimates. It can take longer, or it can be quicker. Start requesting the status from NVC in a couple of weeks using the public inquiry form online. Once you get the MNL case number, things are somewhat in your control. With the case number, you can complete the DS-160, pay for it, and then schedule your interview. I read that SLEC is backed up right now. Hopefully that will clear up before time for your medical exam. A fairly reasonable estimate to POE would be 3 months if you push once you get your case number. 1.5 months until Manila receives your petition, then another 1.5 months for interview, medical, and CFO. There are always variables, so be patient. For example, my petition took 2.5 months just to GET to NVC, while some others with the same NOA2 took only 2 weeks. I think it was that turtle's first trip. You're almost there...
  10. A certified copy usually would come from the court where the divorce took place. How you obtain it would depend on the local policies for that particular court. For me (in Texas), it was just a matter of going to the court records department, asking for a certified copy and paying a small fee. Here, a certified copy just has something like "certified true and correct copy" printed on every page and has a seal on the final page. I cannot advise if the UK consulate will want a certified copy or just a copy.
  11. Petitioner is you, the US citizen. Beneficiary is your foreign fiancé I-134 is completed by the you, the petitioner. Tax returns will be yours.
