As the others indicated above, you do NOT need a police clearance from the US. You asked for link/proof. See below: If you are 16 years of age or older, you must obtain a photocopy of a police certificate from all countries you have lived in using below criteria: If you ... AND you... THEN submit a police certificate from... Are 16 years old or older Lived in your country of nationality for more than 6 months at any time in your life Your country of nationality Are 16 years old or older Have lived in your country of current residence (if different from nationality) for more than 6 months Your country of current residence Have ever lived in another country for 12 months or more Were 16 years or older at the time you lived there The country where you used to live. Were arrested for any reason, regardless of how long you lived in that city or country, and no matter what age you were The city and/or country where you were arrested. Note: Present and former residents of the United States do NOT need to submit any U.S. police certificates. This is from https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html

That is a "Refusal" pending the submission of whatever is lacking that caused the refusal. In this case it will be refused pending submission of the completed medical exam at which time they will look at the completed medical and if everything else is good, then issue the visa

Here are a couple of posts from yesterday

Today's stats: April 30, 2025 21:50 MDT November 2024 Filed I-485 Stats • Approved: 2,839 (+168) • Denied: 227 • FingerprintScheduled: 160 • InterviewCancelled: 167 • InterviewScheduled: 6,886 (+22) • Processing: 30,621 • Received: 654 • Rejected: 106 • RFE: 397 • Terminated: 136 • Withdrawal: 11 • Others: 61

Once she has all her ID problems straightened out, she should go ahead and fill out the DS-160, pay the visa fee and schedule the interview. The embassy in Manila no longer requires you to wait for the treatments to be done. They will just give her a 221g that she will answer once her treatment is done and her medical exam is repeated and completed. VJ member @maryaaaa went through this process and may be able to lend more detail.

This was my thought about it and in fact there was another VJ member that had the same interview experience and detailed it here today:

It's so very hard to be patient when you are waiting to be together with your person. We struggled with it the whole time. We're still struggling to be patient with USCIS again with the AOS process... Wish you speedy resolution and a quick reunion afterwards. Keep us posted!

"Refused" is often the status they put the case into while they are doing the administrative processing

August, September, October and November are the months with high numbers of approvals in the last week

Has the status of your I-129F changed to "Case Was Sent To The Department of State"? It's been taking 4-6 weeks lately just for USCIS to send cases to NVC

If you are not sure whether or not you should register with USCIS under the "Alien Registration Requirement", below is the link to the USCIS website questionnaire that will guide you to the correct answer. Once you go to the page, click on the "Do I need to Register?" button. https://www.uscis.gov/alienregistration

Philippine citizens who are lawful permanent residents of the US do not need a visa to enter Mexico for tourism, business, or transit purposes. They can enter Mexico using their foreign passport and Green Card. Explanation: Mexican visa requirements are based on nationality and residency status, not citizenship. Philippine citizens are exempt from needing a Mexican visa if they hold a valid Green Card, a US permanent residence card. This applies to all purposes of visit, including tourism, business, and transit. However, if the green card is expired, but the traveler has official documentation proving their legal status in the US, they may still need a visa. Since the name on the passport and the name on her Green Card will be different I would bring a Certified Copy of your Marriage Certificate as well Once AoS is approved, we try to get a US passport ASAP Concern is that I'm not sure if AoS approval is the sufficient for getting a US passport She cannot get a US passport when her Adjustment of Status is approved - That only happens if she applies for and is approved for citizenship

One of our community members here just had to do the same recently at the Manila Consulate and it took them 2-3 weeks to process once they received her passport back. That's no guarantee obviously because it is the US Government and consistency is not their strong point but it's a pretty good benchmark since hers just happened in March.

A couple of other things.... 1. The DS-160 application: While you are filling it out and saving your progress as you go along is only valid for 30 days, however once you submit the application, it is valid for 1 year after the date of submission. 2. With the new scheduling website that went into effect for Manila (New as of October 2024), we have seen quite a few reports that it will not allow you to enter the visa payment information (receipt number) and schedule your appointment until the status of your NVC (State Department) case number shows "Ready" on CEAC. Once you get your case number you can check the status of the case here: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

This is good news! That means someone opened your case and looked at it

Thank you for this! So happy for you!

The letter, called a K1-FTP letter, (it comes as an email attachment) from NVC is to advise you of your Department of State case number and that the case file is on its way to the embassy

Can you give us details on the interview? How the officer was, the kind of questions they asked, etc.?

That’s great to hear! Let us know when they approve you! And thank you for sharing this!

Keep the thread updated and let us know what happens so others can benefit from your experience Good luck!

So strange.... Their language states that you don't qualify for the form so based on that they are (incorrectly I believe based on your answers) saying that you are ineligible to use the EZ form. Personally, I would just file the I-864 and not waste the time to fight them.

Well you obviously filed the I-130 so you meet that requirement. Is your spouse the only immigrant listed? And are you qualifying only using your income? No Assets?

What type of visa is the beneficiary going to be applying for? i.e.: What kind of case is this?

If they did not tell you why, I would ask the NVC via the public inquiry form
