Congratulations!!!

Here is something my baby ko na gwapa sent to me to read... Maybe you have already seen it?

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.usembassy.gov/wwwh3024.html

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

  • passport
  • payment of $350.00 USD

5. For your medical:

  • print your email that contains your mnl case number, or if you already have your nvc elligibility letter bring it with you.
  • passport and
  • 3 pcs. 2x2 picture. passport style(without earrings)
  • Appointment letter for interview
