US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionJuarez Consulate
Well my fiance did not get approved or denied, but that is another story.

In regards to timeline, Paul_Light, I would add another night to your schedule.

The fastest I heard someone get their passport was the next afternoon. But at the same time, another person, went to her interview on Wednesday, but did not get her passport until Wednesday of the following week.

There is no exact turn around time after getting your visa approved. I provided both examples just to show that it can go either way!. When I made my plans, I just purchased a one-way ticket and estimated how long we would be at the hotel. We did not purchase our return flights until we knew we were done with business matters. It was not surprising to hear hotel guests adding additional nights to their stay as they did not know when DHL will have their packet ready for pick-up. It was on a day by day cases!

Wow, okay, lot of info there. Thanks guys for your time.

Thanks guys.

Hi Galant,

Just to clarify, Juarez embassy does not allow the fiance to be part of the interview. You would go in alone, no buts! unless during the interview the officer out the blue decides to see your fiancee.

If it is true what everyone else says about the London embassy being faster and easier than the Juarez embassy, then coming from an american asking for her Mexican fiance, don't go to Mexico.

To me that is adding some red flags on your application!

Also, if you are not going to live in the USA why are going through this process?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPacket not yet receive?

Well, it's been 3 weeks I received my NOA2 (march 17, 2011) but until now I haven't receive my packet yet. I wonder where its going... Is there any way to know wheres my packet? And how many days or weeks does it really take for me to receive it? Anyone help me..


I think you are in the wrong forum/thred. Based on your timeline, you are still working on obtaining the k-1 visa for your fiancee.

I beleive this forum/thread will help: http://www.visajourn...ess-procedures/

Not to say you will find help here as a lot of us have already gone thru that process and are on the next step.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionpls. help me!!!

The approved I-129F will be forwarded to Manila by NVC. You should however take with you a complete copy of your entire package including NOA's, and any other correspondences from and to the service center. You need also to take any originals of anything that was submitted as a photo copy with your initial petition.



Thank you so much Aussiewench.... the approved I129F has many corrections but we corrected it at the US embassy in Manila and they didnt sent me anything like the corrected I129F... is it ok???? what can i do now??? im soo tense... at the I129F submitted at the NVC, my son didnt included and i called the US embassy in manila and corrected it... they said that its already corrected... will it be a problem or will it cause for them to deny/refuse to give me a visa????

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNeed Help Pls!!!!!
Hello, I'm a visajourney member and my fiance's interview is on June 16th, which I too will be going to the philippines to show my support and go with her to her interview. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions with regards to your process during and after....

1) Did you go with your fiance (wife) to the embassy? If so, did they ask any questions prior to letting you both in?

2) How long did your fiance (wife) have to wait before receiving her Visa?

3) After your approval, did you go to the travel agency and purchase "one-way" tickets or had to purchase "round-trip"?

4) Which airlines did the both of you fly from Manila to US destination?

Again, i hope i'm not a pest, just that

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 till interview date in manila us embassy
I got my NOA2 approved on Feb 9th and it arrived in Manila on Feb 16th.

Luckily I called manila to get the status on the petition if they rec'vd it or not...and they told me they did receive it on the 16th of Feb. Also, they had the incorrect address logged in their database so my fiance had to fax over the correct address to the embassy.

They stated that it takes anywhere from 120 days before they can schedule the interview...they told me to call back at the end of April or beggining of May and they can tell me the status and what date my fiance would be interviewed.

So, I'm counting the days before I go and pick up my fiance. I pray that everything will be ok and be ready for a June trip.

ciao!

IF you are talking about packet 3(after NOA2) and IF you are close to the embassy and willing to travel there, some embassies will letyou pick that packet up there, yes. If you ask them and they agree you could do that. M.

Why all the !!!!!!!!!!? ;) ;) We are tryin to help! :) :) :)

and PS..I do apologize..really sorry. I see you HAVE filled in your timeline. :blush: oops!!! :) I also agree you should have received packet 3 long ago looking at those figures. Maybe someone else can help you with how to contact them. M.

I don't know if any of this will help: perhaps not..it is from the Phillipines Embassy link at the top of this page...
