You can look up what the Embassy for your area requires for the interview and start collecting that stuff. Hold off on the police records and medical untill you get your interview date. Make sure you have the Long form of your birth certificate and make sure your passport isn't going to expire soon.

You can also start putting together your proof of an ongoing relationship, phone bills, skype records, emails, chat logs, photos of you and your fiance(e) etc.

You can get the NBI the police clearance and the birth certificate. We did months before the embassy interview in Manila. Once you have the NOA2 and you get your MNL number and pay the visa fee at BPI you can get the medical done at St. Lukes.

The stuff that follows is what we did after our NOA2 in May 2011 hope its useful This was for K1 visa at Manila embassy:

You can call or e-mail NVC to get your MNL number. Have your receipt nimber on the NOA-2 and of course beneficiary and petitioner name. It took a couple of weeks for them to have one for us.

The Dept of State can tell you if your papers have actually been sent or are at the embassy:

This is where you will be able to find out if your case was received at the Embassy/Consulate. They will not see your case in their system until the NVC has logged it in and applied a case number to it.

You can bring your passport and a copy of the passport Bio pages (the pic and printed info on the 1st pages) to BPI and pay for the visa interview now, about 16,900 pesos. You should also know your MNL number in case they ask for it. They usually don't. This can be done anytime. You can call the NVC and get the MNL number 603-334-0700

To schedule online embassy appointment "prettyjan" posted this and it is very accurate You cannot schedule online for at least 4 hours after you get your receipt so it can get in the system:

Be sure to have the beneficiary's passport number and the place of issue and the date of issue and expiration date handy before you start.

1. Go to this website: http://www.ustraveldocs.com//

2. Select the Philippines for the Country pull-down menu.

3. Do not go to the non-immigrant section. Instead, go to the "Immigrant Visas" section and click on "Applying for an Immigration Visa Appointment".

4. From the Immigrant Visa Appointment page, do not click on "Schedule an Appointment". Instead, look further down and click on "K-Visa Appointment Scheduling".

5. From this page, you enter your passport number, case number, payment date, birthdate, and create a password.

6. The next page asks for passport issuance date and experiation date. It also asks for the address to send your passport to after receiving visa. You need to know City, State/Province, and ZIPCODE.

7. After entering the required info, your name goes to a list and your asked if you want to add another applicant. If including a child with K2, select yes.

8. Go through the same process again entering in the information for the child.

9. Here's the tricky part. If something goes wrong and you exit the site but you haven't created the schedule yet, you can't start over again the same way. After the payment date with passport number has been used once, you can't use it again. Instead, you have to go back to the "Applying for an Immigration Visa Appointment" page again. This time you do select the "Schedule an Appointment" link and not the "K-Visa Appointment Scheduling" link. From here, you can re-enter the beneficieries info and add other applicants for the K2 children.

10. After all applicants are entered, you select them all with the check boxes, and select to set an appointment. Make sure all applicants are selected.

11. Now you just select the date you want and the time. It sets all applicants the same.

12. Last, you can download a PDF file for the appointment letters for each applicant.it.

St Lukes is walk in and cost is about 9100 pesos. You can preregister online http://www.slec.ph/home.shtml it helps a little when you get there. You'll need:

Casa Bocobo is one hotel very near the embassy. It costs about 1000 pesos a night but my fiancee said it was good and very convenient. Just a suggestion.

In the meantime petitioner can get the I-134 ready and organise what you will need for the interview.This is what we did. Form were located at:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-134.pdf

or http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis Type form number in search

the receipt number in NOA1 and NOA2 is tha same right?

[Jessa and Jay 0]

great info thanks

[TiklingGuy 211]

In this post, you never even mentioned what your NOA2 was. Was it an APPROVAL or a RFE (REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE) or DENIAL. People need to stop calling the I-797C a NOA1-2-43-97-10,652. it's a receite notice, approval notice, RFE notice, denial notice and many others. It is nothing but confusion when people write NOA2 and don't explain what it is. Other people post, I got my NOA2 today, but they mailed in there 15th RFE the week before. Each RFE would have been there NOA2-15, but yet when they get approved, they call it a NOA2. sorry to vent on your thread and if you got your "approval notice", then congratulations and refer to the guides and flow charts.
