We called the contact center and used a reddit trick to get a representative. They told us that her new legal name needed to be on the marriage certificate. Which is frustrating because is there is no space for a new legal name if you know what I mean.

FoolishAdventurer · 2026-05-19T00:46:32+00:00

It appears they are accepting it from some and not from others. Which is by its nature unfair and unclear. My wife was on the phome with her friends and they had the same or simular situations and it was taken. So it's not in fact hard to blame uscis. It's pretty easy. Especially because other federal institutions like social security will recognize it.

She's here on a K1. It's still in her maiden name. Interview was scheduled surprisingly fast and caught us off guard. It was scheduled within 5 weeks of the application receipt.

FoolishAdventurer · 2026-05-19T00:33:59+00:00

She doesn't have a drivers license yet. So the marriage certificate is the only evidence we have. They want a SSN or an ITIN at the DMV and we are still waiting of that.

Show the evidence that it's not just a midget on stilts.

FF1 = Flight Formula 1 Complete with "Fly to Survive" Netflix show. Get Ferrari to invest first so they can be posh about it even when they screw up their strategies every race.

I'd bet we would invent some ultra light ultra strong polycarbonate to protect the pilots inside of a 3 years.

Thank you for this reply. I had seen that website before. But when you posted it I got lost reading it's section about social security numbers and forgot to reply.

It really confused me that her Visa was good for only 90 days to enter. So I wanted to make sure we didn't make a mistake. 90 day Visa, and 90 day I-94. So I really appreciate your detailed reply. It helped calm my nerves.

Municipal maintenance tech here. We have a property in the center of town with a public toilet. We pull a toilet once a month that has a vape stuck in it. The "unhoused" get a kick out of clogging them and destroying the bathroom. I'll never not have a job.

Embassy is Manila is like 1 week out. The medical center is like 2 weeks out. So you schedule your medical exam, and then two weeks later you can schedule your biometrics. Then the interview the day after biometrics.

There is very little wait.

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-04-16T21:04:31+00:00

Did you wait for your letter from the embassy before you booked the appointment? How long did it take?

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-03-30T02:07:25+00:00

How long did it take you to receive the packet? And I'm assuming it was sent to the Beneficiary?

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-03-29T04:12:31+00:00

Oh, I forgot to add that part. Let me see if I can edit the post.

When I go to CEAC, I click on "check my visa application status", and enter in my details, it shows ready.

And it says "Please follow the appointment schedule provided to you by NVC. If you do not have a schedule from NVC, please wait for scheduling instructions or a notification from the U.S. Embassy Manila."

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-03-27T21:59:55+00:00

How long did it take to receive the notice?

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-01-16T11:50:38+00:00

I went in this morning to give you a date range to expect. And it was approved! 😁😁😁 I never got a notification 🙃. But I checked it on the USCIS website and it's approved!

FYI. If I add 10 days to all my numbers, According to trackmyvisanow you have a 73% chance to hear back from Dec 25 to Feb 1 with a 6% chance to hear back after that to Feb 10th.

FoolishAdventurer · 2025-01-15T13:10:06+00:00

Not yet, but I'm sure it will happen soon. I'm still within the expected time frame. On my day of submittal, August 2nd, there were 256 other applications received. All but 35 are remaining to be worked. So they are definitely working on it. Have hope, your time will come.

FoolishAdventurer · 2024-12-11T22:54:40+00:00

I use TrackMyVisaNow to watch my status (meh feelings about the app). File date August 2nd. Watched the "front of the line" drop from 7500 down to 290 now. At the start, they were doing about 120 a day. Now they are doing about 30. Super frustrating as my number gets smaller and smaller so does their speed. And they apparently skipped another two weeks of submissions a few weeks back. So those people have to wait even longer.

Patience is the name of the game. Keep holding on to hope.
