K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 approval notice!!

Here is something my Fiancee sent me, I posted it in another topic for you as well... Good Luck & congratulations!!! :dance:

This is what we did after noa2..it made my process way more faster, my visa was approved less than a month.





1. First of all You have to be a team (You and your Fiance).

  • you have to commununicate, Tell your fiance prepare his documents
such as W2, 1040, paystub, bank statement, and the I-134 (affidavit of support, must be original signed by your fiance)

note: he can prepare this in 3 days while waiting for the time you need to do the no.2 tip.

  • send the package contained the important documents mentioned above.( you will need this documents in your final K1 visa interview in the Usembassy: TIP no. 7)
2. Tell your fiance to call NVC in 5days-2weeks after your received your noa2, here is the number 16033340700



  • ask the the nvc agent if you already have your MNL number.
  • if they tell you you don't have it yet, then you can call them back the next day.
  • and if you have your MNL case number ask them if when did they released your file for US embassy here in the Philippines. If they tell you its still in the process then you have to wait 2 days again then call them back."you need to know releasing date of your physical file so you will know and estimate when you will be elligible to schedule an appointment online".
  • you can email the NVC too. click compose message, write your USCIS case number, petitioner's name,and benificiary's name. atached to that your intent to know if you are already obtain MNL case number. write them(kulitin nyo)3 consecutive days. I-M-P-O-R-T-A-N-T: FOR THIS THEY WILL REPLY YOUR EMAIL AND WILL SEND YOU A CONFIRMATION THAT YOU HAVE YOUR MNL CASE NUMBER THAT YOU ARE ELLIGIBLE FOR THE NEXT PROCESS(attached here is your MNL case number). without your NVC elligibility letter you will be able to proceed to medical jst by printing the email confirmation because in this email your mnl case is visible. NVC email address NVCInquiry@state.gov

3. If you already have the date to which your physical file was released by NVC

  • estimate 1-2 weeks, while waiting: pay your visa at BPI, get your medical done.
  • after 1 week, or 8 days after the releasing of your file from NVC try to schedule online. Your file and mnl case number must be in US embassy system already.
  • note: *when you schedule online you have to register password, it should have capital letter, small letter, symbol,and number. -----and if you want to get the earliest date for your appointment be sure you are done with your medical. (this is for those who want the process to be fast) if your not done with your medical then do it one week before your interview, but if you are a 95-100% certain that you are healthy you can do the medical 4 days before your interview day. (thats what i did,im jst so pasaway hehehe) i did my medical monday and interview date friday.
  • if your not comportable to schedule online you can call the call center for the appointment here is the call center number +632982-5555 or visit http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3024.html

4. You can now Pay your visa in any BPI branch...what you need to bring;

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresInterview finished.. Approved!....but...
First, congratulations for your approval. Well, as soon as your fiance will submit the documents that the embassy asking, you can call the embassy and ask if they receive the documents and to make sure that they are looking at it. Because there were some cases that they already submitted the documents and one week past by and no reply so they call the embassy to ask and yes they got the documents but havent been forwarded to the Consular yet. Better to check to make sure its in the CO's hand.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWithdraw Petition or let it Expire
Oh so sad to hear this and that you are going the same thing again. Its always not a good feeling to end a relationship but as its not working good so no choice at all. Maybe you can send a letter to USCIS and withdraw the petition. Im sorry, hope you will be okay in time!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBest way to schedule an interview with the USEM
I choose making an appointment online. You can choose the date that is convenient to you and you can get the appointment letter right away. Scheduling via phone call, aside from you will be put on hold for few minutes they are the one to choose the date but I guess you can try to tell them a date you want to. The embassy will just gonna send you an email that serve as your appointment letter, you can print it out and bring it to the embassy during the interview. Here's a list of embassy number I have in Manila, I dont exactly know which one you can easily connect to but atleast you can have choices:

1) 02-301-2000
2) 02-982-5555
3) 02-902-8930

Eligibility letter is different from appointment letter. Eligibility letter is a letter telling you that you are eligible for medical and interview and also containing instruction to what you need to do. Some applicant doesnt received this letter or received it late. Appointment letter is the one you will bring to embassy during interview, containing the beneficairy name, home address, and date of interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting the NOA2 after a simple RFE

Hi VJ's members. Last July 29 my fiance got a RFE notice and planning to reply this coming Tuesday. my question is how many days before we will get our NOA2?


Look for my timeline bellow, as we had RFE too. So you will get an Idea... :) :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting the NOA2 after a simple RFE

so it seems that the average time to wait is really 2 to 3 weeks. but i saw your timeline and you had a faster route to the NVC compared with others. some takes one month before NVC received it from USCIS and onother two weeks for the MNL case no. and almost a week to the USEM Manila. hope ours will go faster like yours. thanks for the reply..



Yes, mine was fast from NVC to the consulate. I so hope you will have a faster processing time. Goodluck for the rest of your journey!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGetting the NOA2 after a simple RFE
In our case we got FRE February 22, 2011, we sent the reply February 28, 2011 and we got our NOA2 March 17, 2011. Mostly takes 2-3 weeks, but depends to how fast you send your reply, the earlier the better!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRequest For Evidence

what exactly does that mean please?? thanks :)



My fiance was asked to submit a waiver to file 2nd k1 petition because his first petition didn't reach in two years. So the embassy asked him to write a letter as a waiver why he file for same petition for the second time and in a different benificiary. They just gonna make sure that my fiance is not a green card giver.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions about K 1 Visa
Packet 3 is the eligibility letter you will receive from your respective consulate. Its a letter telling you that you are eligible for medical and interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresEngaged via email, wearing no wedding ring.

This is a dangerous statement. I would never presume to tell anybody what they need to be "okay". First, photographs are evidence, not proof. The decision is made on the totality of circumstances and evidence at a personal interview with a Consular officer. We on VJ, never know enough about any case (based only on what is posted here) to form any reliable opinion on whether a couple will be OK.


Oh yeah not a proof :bonk: , picture as evidence to bring in the embassy.

It doesn't matter if you have ring or not. As long as you have proofs like pictures of you together showing genuine relationship, you will be okay!! Goodluck and GOD bless!!
