Genesis 2:22-24
Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

For those K-1ers who are interviewing at the U.S. Embassy Manila, here's what to do in order to speed up the visa process:

1. Wait a week or ten days after your USCIS petition approval, and then start calling the NVC every day until they give you your MNL case number.

2. Once you get your MNL case number, pay the visa application fee at BPI.

3. Once you pay the visa application fee at BPI, wait 4-24 hours and then schedule an Embassy interview appointment either online or through the call center.

4. Then complete the St. Luke's medical. Note: Use your interview appointment confirmation printout (from scheduling your Embassy interview online) or your email confirmation printout (from scheduling your Embassy interview through the call center) in order to be admitted into St. Luke's for your medical.

5. Complete the CFO seminar. Then, after you get your visa, return to the CFO and get a CFO sticker affixed to your passport. Note: You can complete the CFO seminar and get the CFO sticker affixed to your passport all in one day if you wait until you have your visa.

6. Throw a barangay party, say your goodbyes, and fly into the loving arms of your sweetheart.

I would add that if you were one of the ones transferred from VSC to TSC that the time between Noa2 to NVC case number is probably 4 weeks. That is what a lot of us from the transfer are experiencing.

Now is the time you should be collecting all of those documents she will need for her interview as well and get them sent to her.

and those that were in VSC and were never transfered,should we expect a shorter time to get the NVC number or worse a longer period?

Just in my opinion I would say the average 2 weeks, or even maybe even up to the 4 weeks. Though worse I wouldn't think so.
