When I attended the CFO seminar (Cebu), some of the girls didn't find out that there was a last step after receiving your visa. You need the CFO sticker in your passport otherwise you'll be asked to rebook your ticket and attend the seminar.
P.S. Apart from the requirements stated on the CFO website, you need a photocopy of your fiance's passport. They failed to mention this on their website |

| Embassy Review : |
I had a great experience at the US Embassy. It went very smoothly.
I arrived 1 hour before my interview and there were already a lot of people lined up. People lined up according to their interview schedule and visa type. 30min before our scheduled appointment (7:30am), our line was asked to move to the front door. FYI No food, no water, no cellphones allowed (or anything battery operated. please check the ustraveldocs website for more info)
From there you'd walk up to a lot of windows where they'd ask you for your requirements (the most important one is the DS160 confirmation page). I brought a photo album I made for my fiancé and I to display at our apartment but they didn't ask to see any pictures. Each case is different; some of the documents I brought with me that I thought they would ask for weren't asked for but still, just come prepared.
I had a bit of delay with my visa because my birth certificate & old passport had my name in my mother's maiden last name. I've been using my father's last name since preschool and my NSO already had a note on the side that there was a court order for my change of name. But they asked me to provide an NBI A.K.A. that had my name in my mother's maiden last name on it.
I ended up sending 2 NBI clearances via 2GO as I didn't know which one was correct: My name (in my father's last name) with an A.K.A. or the NBI clearance with just my name in my mother's maiden last name.
A week after, I called to check the status of my visa. The lady on the phone was very nice and I explained the NBI situation with her. She said that my case was still under "Administrative Processing" and gave me information on how to check my case status online via ceac.state.gov (for K1 visas, you need to select IMMIGRANT VISA). That afternoon, the status read "READY". The next afternoon it read "ADMINSTRATIVE PROCESSING" and the day after that, it read "ISSUED"  |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
