Received a Case # from NVC July 6th. MNLXXXXXXXXXX. No Indication As yet as to being received in Manila.

We want to get the Medical and Visa Fee done and Over with. Is there a Expiration Date on these and if so, how long are they good for. ? I don't know.?

I never Lie, due to Employment I may have to delay the Petition but still want these OUT OF THE WAY. Paid for and Passed. I don't know the expiration of these Documents and if I asked my Attorney she would say. I DON'T KNOW. :devil:

I Guess I was asking to much. You might say: How could Tim/Mav have such a High Ranking on VJ? That answer is because I reply to much simplified questions for the K-1 process and give the best Answer I can provide. I try and give the best Advice based upon a Members Post.

I'm not afraid to Ask Questions. Thats what we are here for. I'm not afraid to give advice if I feel I have some knowledge of the Post.. We are here to help eachother.. PERIOD. yes, we get carried away sometimes. I know I have done it.

So I ask a Moderator to Delete this entire Post and I will go Forward. Thanks Tim

Hey! You have up to a year to schedule your interview.. The USEM keeps your case for a year. I got my noa2 July but I did my medical and interview in December.. You just have to let them know.. It will be okay.. :) Try not to make your medical too early so that you can also use it for Adjustment of Status.. It's more expensive to repeat it again here. So try to have her medical as close to the interview as possible so that you won't rush with AOS. You can pay the visa fee anytime but make sure she doesn't lose the receipt!! :)

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

Mav reads your posts very well. Steph, I thought the Visa Fee was required before the Medical. Yes/No ?

Hmm.. I'm not sure about that, but I remember during my medical that they asked me when my interview date was and they kept my passport so most likely, you do have to pay for the visa beforehand.. Better to confirm with others though. Probably you do. I got my eligibility letter from USEM last August, and paid for my visa around December 6, then did my medical December 9 and 10, and my interview December 20! Goodluck, you are almost done!! :)
