You can call DOS ( dept of state ) and ask if your case has reached the US embassy yet with that case number. Then you can go ahead and download the forms and get the information ready for interview / medical etc.

Is there a website or phone number?

The Issuance of the MNL# is all you need to proceed with a Medical, Interview. It is out of the US Hands now until later. You are free to go about your Petition and don't need anything extra for now.

Oh. 011-632-301-2000

No need too. You have your MNL#. Thats what your Finacee needs. Unless you want to babysit your Finacee through the process. That MNL# is GOLD. Treat it as such.

OK Have it your way. Read the Guildlines like other members will tell you.

Have her schedule her Medical Pay the fee. (About $215.00 USD) and provide transportation costs and plan on a at least a 2 day visit which in most cases is Overnight. There is No Appointment needed for the Medical.

You can Schedule the Interview anytime. That Fee is already included in your Original Petition.

I will let other members tell you what you need for her Interview.

This is what we did a little over 3 months ago and is solely based on our experience.

Your fiance should already be gathering her Birth Certificate, NBI Clearance, CENOMAR, Police Clearance if she worked overseas for more than 6 months from the country where she worked, Annulment (if applicable).

You as the petitioner should prepare I-134, employee letter, pay stubs, and tax transcripts for 3 years (you can order tax transcripts from IRS website for free), evidence of ongoing bonafide relationship, money remittance, and anything else that proves a genuine relationship, and then send it all to your fiance as she will need these things for the interview @ USEM.

You can pay the visa fee through BPI it is $350.00 but will pay in peso based on the exchange rate that day. Be sure to have your passport when paying for the visa fee and keep the receipt. Wait til the next day and schedule your interview online. You do not have to wait for the eligibility letter from the USEM. Otherwise, you will be waiting for awhile. When you are scheduling online, you'll need manila case #, passport info, and the receipt # from BPI. Give enough time in between interview date and when she plans on getting her medical done when scheduling. There is no need to schedule an appointment for medical since it is walk in. You can register through the SLMEC and fill up the registration online and this will save you an hour and a half. if you don't fill it up, they will make you fill it up on the spot @ the clinic.

A CFO sticker is needed to be affixed to your fiance's passport. If you do not have this, they will not let her board the plane. This can be done in advance and once you have the visa in hand, you can go back to the CFO office in Quirino Avenue and obtain it. Or, you can wait until visa in hand and then attend the CFO seminar and get the certificate the same day.
