I've mailed a few letters just first class to my fiance in Davao and she did not receive them. Make sure it is registered with signature required so it is certain she gets it. Please let me know way type of service you use. I got an email that our I-129F was approved and our NOA2 was just mailed the 24th so we will be doing the same thing soon. What other requirements did they ask for in the NOA2. I would love to hear what I can expect. Thank you for any help and good luck in your journey.

PhilippinesOnline Scheduleing for K1 in Manila
Well she will make 2 trips 1 for medical and CFO the first week of Oct. and then again for interview Oct. 24th. We don't want any more delays. If there is an issue at medical we will have time to resolve ahead of the interview.

Medical is a 2 day process?? She needs to plan on 2 days at St. Lukes??

PhilippinesOnline Scheduleing for K1 in Manila

Yes I am puzzled too...However I'm not giving up our date to risk an earlier one at this point. Some were saying 4 days was plenty of time however I will play it safe on having her go by the Thursday before on the 12th. The second day of medical? Do you mean the CFO? Or is the medical 2 days?

Good point...we will keep our appointment and thank God we have one as soon as we did...It is hard when getting this close to accept delays in the process I guess. Her appointment is Thursday Oct. 24th. Is Friday the 18th too late to get her medical then her CFO Monday the 21st since she needs to travel to Manila?

PhilippinesOnline Scheduleing for K1 in Manila

We have scheduled our interview in Manila for Oct. 24th because that was the earliest date the calander showed. There was no other available dates the rest of the year....Why is this?? We called to reschedule and they said we need to cancel the Oct. 24th first or they could not see if anything earlier was available...Should we risk our spot on Oct. or cancel and hope for last week in Sept. or first week in Oct.??? Please advise..  Anone have have trouble getting an appointment for interview in a timely matter??  Like in 2 or 3 weeks??  It seems 7 was kind of long to wait. Thank you for your help.

PhilippinesDS-157 Help in the Philippines...

Does my fiance' have to fill out the DS-157 in the Philippines for her interview even if she is a female? This seems to be a source of confusion if she needs this filled out...and weather it needs validation from the Bank of Philippines??   Can anyone clear up this once and for all?? i thought it was only if you are male.. Thank you for the help.

PhilippinesHelp 221g because my medical hasnt forwarded yet at USEM Manila...
We are in the same boat... we had medical earlier than you but immunizations on the 22nd before our interview on the 24th. They did not have us fill out the 221g form but said that they will wait for results of medical and immunizations and then we will receive an email. They took our passport at the time and now we are waiting. We pray that we will hear something this week, but more realistically 10 days. from what I hear if they took your passport like they did ours then you are approved; but will have to wait for medical results and them to review case again like everybody else and then you will get an email for pick up. If anybody else has any information about this or any insight please let us know. God bless us all and I will pray for everyone.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsReady status!!

My fiancé had her interview last week and status on the immigrant visa application went to "administrative processing". Today it went too "ready" and says your case is ready for interview when scheduled. I am assuming we do not need to schedule another interview. Can anybody tell me if they have experienced this before. Do I need to schedule another interview? Or do I wait for the next notice of issued?? Please help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMy Philippino Fiance'
I am an American man that has fell in love with a Philippino woman...We have had a relationship on line, with texts and emails, and Facebook for a little over 1 year. We have recently met in person and I spent two of the greatest weeks of my life with her there with her and her family. I proposed to her and she accepted so I am trying to get as much information as I can in order to bring her to the US to get married. I think I need to fill out an I-129F and send it to a Texas office. What else do I need to send with it? Is this the first step? Thank you for your patiants and any help you can offer me, SDY PS: Is it nessasary to hire a service to help me complete this process or is that a waist of money ??

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDeclaration of how we met...

We just used the space that was provided. We wrote something like "We originally met online in June 2010 on XXX, and have met each other in person both in Germany and the U.S. on the following dates: XXX. All of our visits were between two and eight weeks in length." That was it, and we got approved without any hassle.

I don't think USCIS is looking to read a whole novel - just keep it short and to the point.



Thank you for the advice...I am just trying to eliminate any problems along the way.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere to file Form I-29F

The instructions that come with the I-129F say you can do either way. Only you can answer if the faster express delivery and other features (e.g. tracking) are worth the extra cost. I plan to send it express.

Thank you all so much for your replies. I will opt to send it express because even a day longer will seem like an eternity to bring my Angel Daryl (L) home to me.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhere to file Form I-29F
Is it necessary to use the express mail address or should I just mail 1st class to P.O. box 660151 Dallas, TX with a receipt of delivery.
Will it speed up my process with the express delivery enough to make the extra expense worth it...I noticed it goes to 2501 S State HWY 121 Business Stew 400 Lewisville, TX. i apperciate any input on this topic, thank you... SDY
