Prepare the I-134 a bit closer to interview time.

The embassy in Manila has a good website with lots of useful info.

YuAndDan,

Do you know exactly how long it takes for them to set up an interview time once they receive the materials? Thanks.

Most consulates set interview to about month or 2 after they receive returned materials from your instruction packet or a month after they send out the invitation packet, so you have 30-60 days to get your fiancee the I-134 after the embassy sends out the first packet to your fiancee.

You may want to check out the VJ timelines. Select K-1 advance, filter by country, and then sort by interview date.

YuAndDan,

Thanks for the information. I was planning to send my fiancee various supporting papers this week. I sounds like that I should wait until we get closer to the interview. I will see if I can check online to see what she needs for her packet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Tasks
Hi All,

I would like to think everyone who has responded to my past posts. This site has been great as a resource to get through the K1 visa process.

Yesterday, I received the official NOA2 letter in the mail. I called the NVC and was told that my application materials are on the way to Manila now. With help from a member of VJ I was able to get the tracking number of the application materials (there were only a few sent out yesterday and only one going to Manila). It will probably be about a week before everything reaches Manila but I wanted to know what could my fiancee and I could do to make things as smooth as possible in the mean time? I have gathered up the materials that she will need from me (employer/bank letter, tax returns, I-134, etc.) She is working on getting her clearances and should have all that done this week. Does any one know when she could schedule here medical examination? Does she have to wait until the materials arrive in Manila? Any insight you could provide would be great. We are trying to get as much done now as possible so that we will not feel rushed during the time of the interview. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I found tickets from Northwest for around $750 one way. I don't know if I am going to do much better than that but I will keep looking. If the members who have gotten one way tickets from Manila to the US don't mind, what prices were you guys able to get? I just want to get an idea of what kind of deal I should expect. By the way, I think I would like to have her arrive in Detroit because I am familiar with the area and the POE there has received pretty good reviews. Thanks for the help.

i think it depends on the final destination.
My fiancee's poe is detroit too because I will fly with her, and I have my return ticket already with NWA which is manla-japan-detroit-raleigh...

I looked at the NWA it is $1,029 one way ticket includes tax on may and early june,,
Travel Agency have a great deal too,, try to research more.


Thanks everyone for your replies. I should have a better idea of when my fiancee will travel once we get the interview set up. Hopefully I will be able to find a good deal.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee Travel Question
Hi all

I've started to plan for my fiancee's travel to the U.S. from Manila and I needed some help in finding a good deal on a one way ticket to the U.S. Someone mentioned to me that the airline ticketed needed to be purchase by me here in the U.S. in order for her to be able to use it. However, someone on VJ stated that I would be able to find a ticket at a much lower cost if she purchased it there in the Philippines. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on this? Thanks.
