Yes, but NOA 2 is of no consequence and requires no action on my part. Correct ?

"ish" You need the NOA2 for the eventual adjustment of status. Also after NOA2 you have about 4 months to book an interview.

You need to contact the NVC to get your DOS number.

Yes, the couple knows where everything is. I've gathered every conceivable document that I know of and more and have multiple copies of everything.

Where do I find the I don't know about having phone numbers to my bank, etc. as I haven't discovered how to make a call from the Philippines. My Straight Talk service doesn't work there on my cell. You know a good option for calling ?

Where do I fill in my "timeline" ? Received my NOA1 on Oct. 6. Not leaving here until Nov. 17 so maybe I'll have NOA2 by then.

The NOA2 requires no action, correct? Actually the NVC really doesn't require action either ? ....just the number to track where it's at ?

Your Visa Service with 100% success rate told you about NOA 2 by November? That would be within 40 days approx. Given the fact that USCIS is backlogged,I do not think you will get it so soon.You should do what the senior members have told you and travel with peace.

Thank you abhishek_meli. I needed to hear that. Just wanted to know that everything can be handled there as long as I have all the necessary paperwork (plus some). Just concerned as to when I can get the NVC number online (or in a notice) after NOA2.

You can call from Skype. Or, how does your fiancé call you?

Yeah, it can take up to 2-3 months to get NOA2. I have seen a few posters recently get it in about a month.

They are currently far from backlogged though. When TSC was still operating in early 2015 and using more than 9 months to approve petitions, that's when they were backlogged. Anything within five months is considered normal processing time for I129f petitions.

I always call NVC using Viber Out from Kuwait and Philippines.

Just to note, CURRENT income matters. How are you sponsoring your fiancee?

I provided a link in post #4 on how to contact NVC, why don't you want to use that one? Is it because it requires internet to send them a message via that link?

The "Ask NVC" form was the best one for us as both me and the USC could use it and we got the answers in text (case number and all other kinds of info we asked for), meaning we'd never forget the case number or get it wrong (as has happened over the phone sometimes). Worked like a charm.

Scandi, that's what I plan to do...use the internet with your link as there's no cell tower signal there and wifi must be in a restaurant.. Computer is great for me. Thanks a lot for the link !!!

I am confused a little. How long do you plan on staying in the Philippines? There is a set number of days that you can stay without a longer visa (30 or 45 days...I THINK)...but you just need to leave and return (go to Singapore for a day!) Some people in the Phils NEVER get the NVC letter so be prepared to keep calling NVC to get your MNL number. It is GO time once you get that number. It has been over three years for us, so I am a bit out of date. However, I strongly suggest that you head on over the to the Philippines subforum for more advice on staying long-term in the PI. In the meantime, look for PhilippineSagot and his website:

and/or Greenbaum and his website:

http://dennyeyberg.wixsite.com/filipino-am-visa

for up-to-date information on the entire K-1 process in Manila. Trust both of them…they know what they are talking about. BTW, I was lucky enough to be with Joan at her interview at the embassy. It was a great experience. Good luck!

Actually Stevephoto, all one needs to do is get the 30 day stamp at the airport window and then go to the Immigration Office in Manila and you can extension after extension. That's from a friend who did it. I plan to stay as long as it takes. Thanks for the reply. I have friends staying at my home who will send a pic of the NOA2 and the NVC/MNL number.
