PhilippinesNOA2 to setting interview date.

I had to chuckle at Darnell's comments about Hank's guide.  It's the most helpful document, but not kidding when you have to read it lots of time hehe.  Here's the link.

PhilippinesHow long to get visa after 2 mo sputum test

 

We rescheduled our own appointment (2 weeks after expected results) in hopes to speed up the process.

  

Yeah, I'm thinking about this as I have a feeling SLECs scheduling will be further out than if we did it ourselves.  But I can't help but wonder if it complicates things if we do it ourselves if the embassy expects some kind of verification from SLEC.

PhilippinesHow long to get visa after 2 mo sputum test

Hello Everyone,

 

My fiance is set to get the results back from her sputum test in early October.  Assuming the results are negative, we're trying to figure out how long before she would have a visa in hand after that.  I know St Luke's will set the embassy interview date. 

 

In trying to plan for a wedding, if she gets her results back around Oct 2, does a mid-November wedding sound reasonable?  Hoping she'll be here for at least two weeks before the wedding.

 

Thanks!

PhilippinesSputum Test Results

 

Thank you Lee. That is exactly what I was looking for. I wondered if she needs to take Oct 23rd off work but sounds like she just needs to call on that day and finish the medical another day. Much appreciated!!!

 

One last thing Travelpro, when St Luke's does schedule her to come in, make sure she brings the print out of her initial scheduled interview at the US Embassy in Manila.  They asked my fiance for this in order to schedule her embassy interview.  Not sure if this is a new thing or not.  No big deal if she doesn't have it, she'll just have to schedule the interview herself.  From talks on VJ in September, I thought the embassy would be booked until late October, but they scheduled her for this week as they were openings :-)

PhilippinesSputum Test Results

Hi Travelpro, Hank is correct.  Here's some detailed info, my fiance just finished her 2 month wait last Wednesday.  When she called them that day, they pretty much told her it was negative and scheduled her to go to St Luke's today. She messaged me saying she will get immunization shots and take a pregnancy test.  When she goes back tomorrow they will schedule her embassy interview.  It does take two days. Hope this helps

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK-1 NOA2! CSC January Filer

I'm a late January filer and I got my hard copy RFE last Tuesday, May 28.  I missed a question and they wanted a new passport photo.  I took care of those things and priority mailed the packet back the Wednesday the very next day.  They sent a text message on Friday confirming they received my packet but not if it was OK or not.  One week later, Wednesday, June 5, I got a text saying my case was updated and that was it, no second text as I normally get.  Seconds later I got an email saying my application was approved!! 

 

Thanks VJ family for all your help.  I know this is only one step, but it's a big one :-)

 

Much luck to everyone!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo you really need employment letter for I-134

Some employers no longer provide an employment letter.  Instead they refer you to a company known as the Work Number.  Not sure if anyone has any experience with using them as a resource during their interview.  I will find out when it's time for my fiance's interview.
