US Embassy Manila & Scheduling Interview (K1 & K2 together)

[Sahs 10]

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping someone with some experience can clear this up for me as I've searched all over the internet and cannot find a direct answer of how it's done...

Once a petition is approved by the USCIS and has passed through the NVC and it's time to pay the Visa Fees and schedule the interview for a K1 Beneficiary and his/her child (K2). When scheduling the interview online, how does the Beneficiary make it so that both he/she are scheduled for the same date & time??? I'm believe the US Embassy will not allow anyone into the Embassy without an appointment letter?

Any advise on this matter would be greatly appreciated...

The files get joined at NVC. If they don't automatically, you can call them and request. You know they get joined when you only pay a single AOS fee of 88.00 that covers both. It is the only fee that gets joined.

i think there's a option in there website to set up an interview for families. you just have to read it...i remember it should be in the left side corner of their website.

or you have the option to call them to set up an interview..just to make sure you don't mess things

Tell your Fiance when she makes an appointment that she wants to schedule the K2 in the same day. They will not get the same time slot (eg..K1 gets 08:00, K2 gets 9:00) but they know this and will include the K2 during the K1 interview. My wife (K1 then) did her schedule last year with her daughter (K2)and that's what she did. Don't worry they know the drill.

Good luck!

PS.. she scheduled via phone cause we had a K2 and was not sure how to do include her via online appointments.

Yes only one interview but you still have to specify that a K2 will be attending when you call for an appointment and both K1 and K2 will have their own separate time and confirmation letter. Well for my K1 and K2 anyways. I don't know if process has changed.

I know exactly what you are going through. Not much information on how to do these things for BOTH a K1 and K2 at the same time. In a nutshell, here's what we did once we got the Case Number..

- Paid for 2 Interviews at BPI.

- Scheduled 2 Interviews at the US Embassy. You must schedule 2 separate interviews. Just ensure that both are on the same date and at the same time. The embassy knows how to handle this once they get there. I called the US phone numbers that connect to the embassy on behalf of my Fiancee. This was easier for me to do rather than doing it online for BOTH the K1 and K2 at the same time. You can do it online, but just be prepared with two separate e-mail addresses to use/register. The system cannot combine both under one log in. This was my experience.

- Printed the K1's interview schedule. Printed the K2's interview schedule. These have the Bar Code printed on them. These are the "Appointment Letter" you refer to.

- Medical Exams at SLEC for both my K1 and K2.

- Take all required Docs to the interview with the printed K1 schedule and printed K2 schedule. Visas Approved.

- CFO Seminar for my K1. She brought K2's passport to CFO. Got stamps in BOTH passports.

Hope this helps.

My step-daughter is 4. The Screener did not ask her any questions. However, the Consulate Officer did ask her a couple of simple questions (name and age). For a 12 year old, they may ask more.

For the Interview at the US Embassy the required documents are all listed on the packet instructions.

I don't know the answer for certain but I would believe once the visa fees are paid for each and you log onto the embassy website to schedule it will give you the option for doing the K2 also.

There is a link in my signature below for the K-1 process once you have you NOA2.
