Which one do you think is more easier and faster? If we schedule online the earliest date is on february 2014 Or just wait for the consulate to scheduled us maybe it will be earlier than that? Any suggestions?

As a K1 visa applicant you have to schedule on your own after payment in BPI. The consulate doesn't schedule your you.

You can take the Feb. 2014 then just watch out for any earlier openings for the next weeks to come.

schedule the soonest (feb 2014) that you can get.

reschedule if you find a better (sooner) schedule, but be warned its very risky to cancel and resched, slots get taken in a blink of an eye.

and don't forget to call the embassy to make sure your physical files have arrived. without it, you wont be interviewed.

This right here. We just did this. Scheduled for earliest, which at the time was Feb 3rd but for the first day I waited refreshing the page every hour or 2. Then Jan 30 came up so I took it. Then a few days later I login and Dec 6 was available. I took the risk, cancelled and then you go through the entire registration again, so have FAST internet. I was able to grab that Dec 6 slot!!

Consulate DOESN'T schedule you unless you call to have them schedule you, then they see the same dates you see when you look at the calendar online. Much simpler to schedule online.

February is what is available now.
