Hi guys, I think this is the right section to ask this question. I was wondering if there was a deadline to file the DS-160 application and schedule an interview for my fiance? We just received the letter and notice from the embassy saying they were ready but in a weird twist we're waiting on her new passport because her old one expired as I was filing the petition.

Well there is, sort of, a deadline for filing the DS-160, it is best to have it completed at least a day before the interview. ;)

For the K-1 process in the Philippines follow the flashing arrow below. Once your fiancee gets her new passport things can move very fast!

Oh, pop over to the Philippines forum for better answers relating to the visa process there.

it will be complicated, you need to send a new copy of the passport to the USCIS to inform them so they can put NVC in the frame of changing ... I think

Hey everybody, thank you for the replies. After a lot of searching and then finally getting the instructions I think it will be pretty simple. I never had to send a copy of her passport to USCIS so we are doing ok there and the instructions for setting up an appointment that I found on the embassy website actually had numbers and the website for Philippine passport renewal in the event that it has happened like that. I am going to guess that this has happened a lot so I'm going to relax a little and give the embassy a call to make sure on Monday.
