My grandparents in the USA petitioned for an immigration visa for my parents (residing in Philippines) in 2001 and just recently received an approval for after 19 yrs. My grandfather died already and only my grandma is still alive but she is quite old now. She only survives on her pension and lives in a low income apartment for seniors. One of the requirements she needs to provide is the affidavit of financial support for which she does not meet the minimum income requirements. Is there any organisation that could help? As 19 yrs have passed, a lot has changed. My parents would like to seize this opportunity but the requirements are a problem. Both my parents are seniors too and not working. The COVID19 situation has impacted the Philippines badly. If/when the USA restarts doing the interviews in Manila, what is the timeline my parents have to work with? Is this (class F31) visa petition only valid for a year? Please enlighten me and need some suggestions what to do. We already contacted embassies and they wont answer anything without the case number which we are hesitant to give as we think it may negatively impact the outcome.
