If you want to speed things up, you don't have to wait until your case file reaches the U.S. Embassy Manila.

Here's what you can do right now:

1. Once you have your MNL case number, pay the visa application fee at BPI.

2. 4-24 hours after you have paid the visa application fee at BPI, schedule an Embassy interview appointment either online or by phone. If you schedule online, print out some copies of the confirmation sheet. If you schedule by phone, print out some copies of the confirmation email.

3. Complete your medical at St. Lukes a week or so before your interview. You can use your MNL case number, your interview appointment confirmation sheet, or a copy of your interview appointment email in order to be admitted into St. Lukes for your medical.

4. Attend your Embassy interview.

5. Complete the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) seminar and get a CFO sticker attached to your passport. You can complete the seminar either before your interview or after you have received your visa packet from the U.S. Embassy Manila. However, you can get a CFO sticker attached to your passport only after you have your visa.

Read this letter from the U.S. Embassy Manila. However, don't wait around to receieve this letter from the Embassy because you don't need it for anything and because it may take a month or more to receive it. Sometimes it never arrives. Instead, read it and follow the instructions on how to prepare for your interview.

Hi! Congrats on having ur MNL num

You actually have few options on what to do first.

1. You may now proceed to your medical at SLEC. Register online at their website; http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/index.php and print 2 copies of the registration form. Bring the original and photocopy of passport, 3 pcs 2x2 pics (with name at the back) with white background, and black point pen and medical fee which is amounting to P9,143.

2. You can do that even without scheduling/paying the visa interview fee, they are two separate entities

3. You can pay your visa fee but you cannot schedule your interview appointment if the case hasn't reached the USEM. You can track your case at https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx? .When the status is "READY", that's the time for you to schedule your interview appointment online, yes, online because it is way easier to do it online. If you will call them to set your schedule, they will ask you lots of questions which means that you'll pay a lot for that call. Not so practical

Good luck and God bless Hope this helps.
