You could be using this time to study up on the post-approval process.

There's a shortcut that could save you a month or more.

Your RFE will set you back only a week or two and then your petition will be approved, so you should start planning ahead because you're about to shift into high gear. Handa ka na ba?

Once the USCIS approves your petition, here's what you should do if you want to speed up the process by a month or more:

1. Don't wait for the U.S. Embassy Manila to send your beneficiary a snail mail telling her that she is eligible to schedule an interview and giving her instructions on how to prepare for the interview. That letter could take forever to arrive.

2. Instead of waiting for PhilPost to deliver the letter, about a week or ten days after the USCIS approves your petition, you should start calling the National Visa Center (NVC) every day until they give you your MNL case number. Note: you need to talk to a human at the NVC in order to get your MNL case number.

3. Once you have your MNL case number, have the beneficiary immediately pay the visa application at BPI.

4. 4-24 hours after paying the visa application fee, schedule an Embassy interview appointment either online or by phone. Either one of you can schedule the appointment. Make sure to print out a couple of copies of the interview confirmation screen when scheduling online. If you schedule by phone, print out a couple copies of the Embassy's confirmation email. You'll likely be able to schedule an interview about two or three weeks out.

5. Then, the beneficiary can complete the medical anytime after booking the interview appointment, all the way up until about a week before the interview. Fill out the registration form on St. Luke's website and take a couple of copies to the medical. Check out St. Luke's website for other details.

By the way, you should take a look at the Embassy letter right now so you can prepare for your magical day. Here it is: http://manila.usembassy.gov/mobile/wwwh3224.html

I don't know about other U.S. Embassies, but the above is a great shortcut when you're going through Manila.
