So you only need your PSA marriage certificate to start the process, I don't know what a red ribbon is? And you only scan the front page of your passport with your name and pictures and if have traveled with your partner you can scan the stAmps and that could be one of your proof of relationship.

Hi mam how much is the lawyer?

[@valeriecreates]

It depends on the state you're hiring the lawyer from in NC for our case between $3-4k

[@reginewall3611]

I have a question po? Do we need to wait for the report of marriage before filing for a petition? Or is it okay to file a petition while using the apostille marriage cert along with some documents? Panotice po. Thank you

[@valeriecreates]

I'm not sure about that. I would probably ask an immigration lawyer or check with USCIS if that would be possible po.

[@reginewall3611]

Okay po .. thanks 🥹

Hello, I'm planning to go to the Philippines next year, I'm been talking to my Filipina friend. I want to meet her in person. If we decide to get married? What would be the quickest process for her to come to the US, is it a quicker process, to married in the Philippines or US?

[@valeriecreates]

Mmmm.. in my opinion you can either do a fiance visa or spousal visa. I don't know how quick the fiance visa is going right now. I know when I was doing my cr1 that they prioritize that over the fiance visa because of covid. I would probably do some research to see which one is faster right now. If fiance visa you'll have to get married in the US if spousal visa in the Philippines.

[@CD-wv6kn]

Hi! Did you submit a PSA-certified marriage certificate? Or is the marriage certificate signed by you and your husband enough (the one which was signed during the ceremony)? Thank you so much for answering!

[@valeriecreates]

It has to be your PSA marriage certificate 😊💕

I would like to ask, can he come here for the first time and we will get married in 1 or two months. If we immediately file for a CR1 visa, can he stay here while waiting for the approval?

[@valeriecreates]

Hi Pearl! yes you can get married and file for CR1 right away. I'm pretty sure he can stay there if he wants to as long as there's steady income coming in to support the case.

[@cherylalipio64]

Do you think it's a good idea to get married at first meeting?

[@valeriecreates]

Well, it really depends Po. In my opinion having to show the immigration that you have met at least once and spent some time together would be better for your case in the future. 😊

[@clairewidmer2023]

Well, we got married in our first meeting po 😊

My case was approved after 10 months how much longer will it take for interview?? I in Tennessee United States my wife Thailand just got approved 2 weeks ago! Just hoping not much longer

[@valeriecreates]

base on my experience after NVC DQ'd our case we waited about a month or so then we tried to do an expedite request and month after that got approved then I did the medical and they sent me an interview schedule. I don't know how it works in Thailand but maybe you can try to do an expedite request. Here's my detailed video about expedite request if you haven't watched it yet. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZPRkn-fYruYhKs

Hi! Since the petitioner needs the original Certificate of Marriage,, how long did you wait for yours? Will it take long to mail it to him instead? Mine fiance can probably only stay for 2-3 weeks.

[@valeriecreates]

I actually made a video about this here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH_Jk4prpbqciKc . I believe we did an expedite request for our marriage certificate because we wanted to start the process right away after the wedding.😊

The next step would be NVC stage once USCIS Approved your I-130. For me overall took about 7 and half months total because we did an expedited interview request.😊
