Eligibility letter from NVC

[J@L 0]

Hi everyone,

I had my case number already, had paid for my visa fee last April 1st but have not yet set an interview sched.since I'm still waiting for the documents that my fiance had mailed for me.I read somewhere about the eligibility letter from NVC.Is that one requirement I need to bring to St. Luke's on my medical day?What does it contain?

Do I have to set up for an interview before April 30? (BPI deposit slip expires April 30)Is it better to call rather go online to set up an interview?

What do I need to bring to St. Luke's?Am I missing on something.

Thanks for your usual help.God bless you all.

You do not set the interview date. the documents go to NVC then to embassy in your country and they notify you of interview date and what doctors can do your medical exam

[redvelvet 12]

In the Philippines, K1 visa applicants set up their own interview at the US Embassy.

Your fiance will receive the NVC letter in a couple of days (about 15 days after USCIS approval). You will need to give St. Lukes a copy of it when you go for your medical exam. Scanned copy is fine. For other St. Lukes requirements, check here: http://www.slec.ph/

You don't need to set up the interview before April 30. Expiration date of the payment slip is just for actually paying at the bank.

I setup my interview online. It is easy, and you can change schedule (up to 3 times, I think).

Good luck!

You do not need to wait for any documents to get your inteview set and get your medical done... its rock 'n' time!!

Go to the embassy website in the link below to schedule your interview online, once done make sure to print two copies of the confirmation page (one for St. Luke's and one for the embassy)

Here:

Manila Embassy:

NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR MNL # (don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy )

(NOTE: When getting NSO certified copies of your Birth Certificate get a few extra copies for bringing to the States with you. You will need them from time to time)

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3023.html

Once you have your MNL # :

You can pay your nonimmigrant visa application fee with cash or debit card at any Bank of Philippine Islands. Before going to the bank, you must print the applicable U.S. visa application deposit slip available below on this page. Take the printed deposit slip with you to pay your fee. If you print a deposit slip in advance of the day in which you plan to make your payment, please take note of the expiration date on the deposit slip. If the expiration date passes prior to using the slip to make your payment, simply return to this site and re-click the appropriate link below to generate a new deposit slip. Bank agents will NOT accept payments based on expired deposit slips. Upon receiving of your payment, bank will issue you a receipt. Save your receipt. It cannot be replaced if it is lost. You will not be able to schedule an appointment without your receipt number.

http://ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-paymentinfo.asp

Select the deposit slip that matches your visa application fee from the list below. Values are shown in U.S. dollars and native currency. This page has more information about the different visa application fees.

http://ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-visafeeinfo.asp

For K-1 the fee is $240

After you have paid the visa application fee, keep the BANK receipt for your records. It cannot be replaced if it is lost. You will not be able to schedule an appointment without your receipt number.

If you have an account with either Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI) or BancNet you may choose to pay your visa application fee online using their online bill pay services. Click on either of the links below if you are a BPI or BancNet customer and wish to make an online payment.

If you are paying for more than one applicant, please DO NOT make a lump sum payment for all the applicants. A UID/receipt number is required for each visa application fee payment for EACH applicant for scheduling an appointment. After you have paid the visa application fee, please keep the fee receipt for your records.

Receipt Format

Note: If you have a Bank of Philippine Islands receipt, your fee receipt number should be your passport number. If something other than your passport number appears in the circled area on the graphic, use that information as your receipt number. This receipt number verifies your payment and allows you to schedule your visa interview

When scheduling online with the embassy you need to use the receipt number as shown on the payment receipt from BPI.

Priorty Date; this is the date the NOA 1 was received. You will not find the priority date entered on the NOA2, you will only find it on the email/letter from NVC when you get your MNL #.

Make sure to print two copies of the interview confirmation page as you will need one for St. Luke's and the other (maybe, they might mail the interview letter) for the embassy.

NVC letter only a requirement for IR/CR-1 visa, all that is needed for SLEC with the K-1 is the interview confirmation letter/page from online. The K-1 visa beneficary does not get an INSTRUCTION LETTER from NVC.

St. Lukes asked me for the NVC letter with the MNL number on it.

St. Lukes asked me for the NVC letter with the MNL number on it.

^^^ Agreed, a K-1'er can complete their medical at St. Lukes using their NVC letter with their MNL case number on it.

[Hank_ 9,174]

St. Lukes asked me for the NVC letter with the MNL number on it.

A ton of K-1 have done the medical at SLEC without the NVC letter and just the inteview appointment confirmation, my wife being one of them. Yes they asked her for it but they were happy with the confirmation letter.

the NVC Instructions Letter is for IR/CR-1 and is a different letter than what is sent with the K-1 process.

I agree. An NVC letter is not necessary for a K-1'er to be admitted into St. Luke's. An interview appointment confirmation works great. The interview appointment confirmation, according to many reports, is what St. Luke's prefers.

I'm glad you emphasized that the NVC's IR/CR-1 instruction letter is different than the NVC's K-1 letter.

I agree. An NVC letter is not necessary for a K-1'er to be admitted into St. Luke's. An interview appointment confirmation works great. The interview appointment confirmation, according to many reports, is what St. Luke's prefers.

I'm glad you emphasized that the NVC's IR/CR-1 instruction letter is different than the NVC's K-1 letter.
