K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresno packet from Mla embassy after 2 wks

thank you all so much for that much needed clarification. I was starting to get worried why i haven't received the packet yet. Wow, who would have thought that Manila traffic extended to DHL mailing system :rofl: May i further ask if what the packet contains is the 9 page long document from the website? If it is not too bold to ask, may I please be directed to a link of what i should print out and prepare for the interview. Will really appreciate that :blush:

Good luck on your interview, Crystal! go get them LOL. Do u have a validity date in your NOA2, and if so, when?
@Jay & Cici and pookaphilus - wishing you all the best on your respective journeys! attaters huh? hehehe.

Yes, the letter of eligibility aka Packet 3. but i have read many Filipinas here in VJ that there are many dont receive it. You can actually print it out from the USEM Manila website. With my interview, they didnt look for it but just the appointment letter. And also, I was able to pay visa fee, set my appointment, and my medical without it. It arrived nearly my interview date.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe Packet 3 has not been received yet.

No need to wait at all.. DO NOT wait for the embassy letter. It is essentially useless.

Here is exactly what we did in the last few weeks:

After you have your MNL case number ( which you can get from the NVC by calling them - you can find the usa phone number by searching these pages vj)

With the mnl case number, the fiance in the phils can pay the BPI interview fee now at BPi branch. Then you use the filipinas passport number as the rceipt for payment and you can go online to schedule the interview - you will need all the relevant data passport info etc...

You must print out an appointment letter after you schedule online. Bring it to medical.

Then you can go ahead and do the medical at ST Lukes. Fill out the online registration ahead of time for the medical.

You can do your medical in advance of the interview - its ok they give you the passsport back after the medical.

Hope that helps... Also search for "after NOA2" it will help.



I do agree on this. I didnt wait for anything for this just gonna impede things. When my hubby received the NOA2 in his mailbox, did some readings and 3-4 days after i called the NVC and right then they gave me my MNL case number, the next day i went to pay my visa fee. You have to call NVC in their office hours, might want to check that out. Then after a week counting when they gave you your case number, you can start trying to schedule appointment, you can do it online so you dont have to wait in line for someone to pick up your call.

Just one thing i remember, after my medical, SLMCEC never return my passport back to me. The next time i saw it was when it was delivered with my visa stamped :D

Hi Cloe, Cici here. Way back my time which was around 2-3 months ago, I didnt wait for any letter from USEM.

1. I call them everyday and many times in a day. You need to be patient to call them and ask if they schedule you for an appointment. Or if you want you can check the website and schedule appointment online if you cant stand trying to call them and wait in line. (with mine, i actually was able to memorize all the buttons and numbers for whichever you need on that hotline). I remembered talking to one of the representatives that they dont actually dont see your file in their system, they just uses the same interface as we do when we do it online, its just that they record your call and your email for reference and do the scheduling for you if you dont have a pc to do it by yourself. If something went wrong, funny part is, they want you to make your own inquiry for your concerns, they'll give you the email add instead of them doing it for you. I was really so eager to have my appointment be scheduled as soon as possible because you can only get at least 2-3 weeks early, most of the schedules are 1 month waiting. I cant wait to be with my hubby so i did every thing to make the timeline short.

2. Packet3, if i can remember, is just a letter informing you are eligible to schedule for an interview. and they'll give you a link to what to bring for you interview. I'll try to retrieve it for you. With mine, I told you, i didnt wait for this, somebody here in VJ gave me the link and i saw it, it is in pdf form. I am not sure if its DS 3025 you are referring but it is what the SLMCEC will give you after your medical examination.

3. I cant remember if its DHL.. but i am sure 2GO are the ones who deliver the passport with visa stamp

4. I finally receive my letter of eligibility few days before my interview date. (same goes with most of my batch mates here in VJ) good thing that I didnt wait for it before scheduling.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUSEM Appointment
hi. people who answers phone in that office said it takes 4 hours for the system to acknowledge the payment. You have to look at your receipt what time was the transaction so you can tell them. If until now, not in the system yet..you have to make sure that your case has been in the USEM system first as simple as they cant record your payment as long as you're not in there yet.

Hi, i can remember we are batch mates on our journey on our visas. We, Filipinas, have an OPTION to report our marriage to the Embassy of the Philippines. I actually asked this before here in VJ. But they say, if you are working on to be a US Citizen eventually, there's no point that. The CFO seminar we had in PI mentioned that for a reason that they have a copy of your marriage and thats it. Here in Hawaii, i checked through the internet how much, it is at least 25 or 30 $ to report a marriage and the official website didnt say anything on why to do it and what are the advantages. wasting 30 bucks for no reason i think. so for us, we didnt bother.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it possible for my fiancee to Submit I-129F to USCIS even we have not meet yet???
exchanging emails and messages, calling each other are far different from living together in one roof. Meet him first and then take it from there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk-2 visa
Hi Sis, I came in the US with my daughter. The idea is all the documents that you need are always x2 except the police clearance, certificate of no marriage and nbi but the rest will always be YOU and HIM.
-passport
-authenticated birth certificate
-medical exam
-DS forms
-visa payments

MY daughter's BC has her father signed on the back, when i was preparing our requirements, I called DSWD so i can get a her travel clearance but they said since she is below, legally mom's custody. You can send me message if you need my help :) good luck on your journey.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBPI payment and co-sponsor question...
Hi. With regards to the visa fee, you can pay it over the counter in any Bank of the Philippine Island branch. Just let her have a photo copy of her passport so the teller would have her passport number right in their system and tell the teller its for a FIANCE visa. :) then remind your sweetie to keep the transaction receipt. She'll need it upon scheduling an appointment, if you do it via phone, the Representative will ask her the date and time of her payment, which is found in the transaction receipt. Goodluck to both of you
