I am looking at the Globe plans but confused. She is spending 15 peso for loads. As we work as a couple on her k1 visa we need to talk more and my family is texting here more. So looking for a plan to make it easier

PhilippinesFiancee Visa-expedited Approved

USCIS will send the petition to NVC, where it will sit for a while, but not too long hopefully. At some point NVC will forward the entire package on to Manila Embassy. You don't have to wait. After about two weeks from the date you know USCIS forwarded your package to NVC, start calling NVC and ask them for your 'Case Number'. It will start with MNL. This is the number you need so that you can schedule your interview.

Your fiancé will need your Affidavit of Support AT the interview, not before.

You mean NBI clearance, not BPI. BPI the bank where you will go and pay your Visa fee. NBI isn't hard to get, but can take a couple of weeks, but usually much faster.

Here's what I would (here's what I did :)

1) In about two weeks start calling NVC to get your case number. They are backlogged at the moment, it could take a month. Once you have that number...
2) Go to BPI and with that case number and her Passport number, pay the visa fee.
3) Go to http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ This is where you will set up an account so you can schedule your interview. Schedule an interview and print out the confirmation page that will be emailed to you.
4) Go to the Saint Luke's Extension Clinic www.slec.ph and 'register' for the medical. You don't pick a date, but you can enter a bunch of info that will make it go faster for your fiancé. Print out the registration page for her to take to the medical, read all the instructions.
5) Also immediately register online with the NSO to get her CENOMAR and also you might as well get an official NSO Birth Certificate, as this what they'll want in the interview. I got two copies of both, since they'll keep one at the interview. https://www.ecensus....ph/Default.aspx
You can register online, super easy, go to the bank to pay the fee, and in a couple of weeks at most they'll deliver both!

These are the main things you need to get started on. Hope that helps!

At some point you will receive the official notification with your case number, at least you should. It will come from the US Embassy in Manila. But you don't need to wait for it to move forward. Your fiancé should get that in a letter at some point. But by then you can have nearly everything ready already!


Yes meant NBI

PhilippinesFiancee Visa-expedited Approved
I was able to get my Fiancee Visa-expedited Approved based on heath issues and got the NOA2 done, My fiancee is from the Philippines.

I know that the next step is USCIS sending it to the Visa center
What are the next steps?
When will I need Affidavit of support by?
I am having her work on the BPI clearance and told her for the medical exam she need to bring Vaccines and take the immigration class
What else can I do?

Am I correct that the visa could be issued by September 1?
Thanks

I figure out that your fiance got a white slip. Form 221-g co needs more checking on your case. I got white slip too but before i left the embassy i clarify my issue so i would know and what to expect next. you can look at me timeline.


Thanks It was white how do I clarify? then why was she told 5 days?>

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHelp confused Visa Approved or??
Hi,



My Finance had her interview last Wed in Manila and wethought it was approved! She got a form221-g checked for administrative processing to here from the ebassay and mayneed to comeback. I asked Rosan when I saw it said it will take a few days toprocess and would be shipped in 3 to 5 days! After the interview she left her passport and raised her right hand to affirmher intent to marry. And we had All the paperwork done! However, I called last night And was told itwas in administrative processing with no set time frame.



We have gotten it expedite NOA 6/18 Noa 2 6/28 Case number 7-10 St lukes 7/16 and 17. Just making sure I did not miss something



Thanks

I have called the embassy main number (214) 571-1600, is there anthor one to call. I just have spoken to call center. How do I get past that?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAdmin Processing in Manila


First prays and thought to all VJour in Manila with the flooding





My Fiancée and me had a quick path to the interview due to an expedite. NOA 1 Jun 18, NOA Jun 28. We got the Manila case number Jul 10 and had her interview Jul 18th. At the interview Rosan was told paper work was good! But we got a white 221 G and told to wait for further instruction.



I see the average time between interview and getting the visa is a month. I assuming most at 30 days got a 221 of some sorts. On the timelines visa received is it the day of issue or the day in hand? Seeing if we could expected an answer this week, if 30 days. At what delay 2 month, 3 month should we start to worry about the delay? I am thinking we got the interview before Manila could process the paper work.



Sorry just nervous.



Thanks
