Okay, I'm just new here and I'm really really confuse right now thats why I need your Help!

So here it is: I received my NOA2 Oct 30, 2013. So 23 days passed I havent hear anything from NVC. So i tried calling them and they said that they didn't received my case from USCIS. So I called USCIS about that and they said that NVC will receive cases but they didn't process it for I129f. They will accept it and then gave them the case number and they will send it to the consulate where my fiance lives. So I ask them do they mean that my case is already in NVC is just that they didnt process it thats why they told me that they dont have it yet? And they said YES.

So today I've tried reading stuffs about this step and most of the people on their timelines was receiving notifications from NVC that they received,process the case number and on the way to their fiance's consulate. So how come USCIS keep on telling me that I will not receive any notifications from NVC.

And 1 more question smile.png After I get my case number. Do we need to scheduled an appointment for the interview? Or just wait till the consulate scheduled us for the interview? I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE YOU SUGGESTIONS!!!!

From what I have been reading, if your case was processed by the CSC, it is taking about 5 weeks before NVC receives and gives you a number. When you call NVC they will tell you it is taking 8 weeks but it is usually shorter than that. So just keep calling them until you get a case number. By the way since your beneficiary of the K1 is from the Philippines, that number will start with a 3 letter code MNL.

Once you get that MNL number, you don't have to wait for any letter from them to get an interview appointment. Follow these next steps by Hank : http://visaconnection-philippines.com/# . Pay for the visa interview at Manila Embassy and schedule the medical. And when you have the MNL number you can track here : https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx? if the paperwork has been ship by NVC to the embassy. Usually takes about 3 days. Good luck.

What I mean is pay at a BPI branch to setup an interview online with the US embassy. Once you have an interview appointment you can have the beneficiary go to St Lukes for a medical.

Thank you so much! I'm looking at your timeline right now, is that what you guys did? You didn't wait for the papers from USEM? When is your fiance's interview?

All approved cases are sent to the NVC and then onto the appropriate consulate from there. They do not stay at the NVC long. The NVC does send a letter letting you know they sent your case to the consulate, but you do not have to wait for the letter. You can call them to get your case #.

When I scheduled 3 days ago, the earliest date was Jan. 28. Right now earliest is Feb. 10. The only reason I chose a later date is Im flying to visit my fiancee, join her for the interview and hopefully we can fly back to the states together.
