Hi, our petition has been approved and sent to NVC. My fiance already received a notification that they will sent it to Philippine Embassy so they can process it. That was almost 3 weeks ago How long should I wait before I receive the notification from Phil Embassy so I can start applying for K1 Visa? Thanks in advance.

Your burning the candle. Once it is approved and sent to NVC you need to be calling NVC to get your MNL#. After which you can pay you interview fee and schedule your interview, medical and CFO. Times a wasting.

Click on the link at the twisting arrow and there is a step by step guide for everything you need to do now.

Return and ask any questions you need answered.

Don't wait for the NVC. Instead:

1. Call the NVC and get your MNL case number.

2. Pay the visa application fee.

3. Schedule an interview.

4. Complete your medical.

Hi! Does this also work for IR1/CR1 visa? We just got the hardcopy of our NOA 2 on the 21st and I'm not sure what the next step is... :)

Spousal visas work differently. Feel free to start a thread and ask your question.

Once you have your MNL # it is ROCK n ROLL time!! There is NOTHING you need to wait for from the embassy, everything is online.

You can follow Greenbaum's link or my link below for details.

You don't need to do anything, the embassy will automatically extend the petition. All is good. ;)

Ours took 17days from NVC to USEM. just check your case number at ceac.state.gov if it says READY, it means USEM has your case (physical papers)..

USEM will inform the petitioner or the beneficiary through email or snail mail once you are eligible to be interview..

Because it took a long time for our case to reach USEM, i called them several times. Since I already scheduled the interview before status was READY, they told me you can still show up to the interview date but it is up to the Consular officer if they will interview you or will turn you down.

I never received anything from the USEM..so I took matters on my own hands :D followed all your advise and now I got my Visa! Yehey! :)

Just one more question though, do I need a "red ribbon" copy of my Birth Cert and Cert of non-marriage as a requirement before I can marry in the US?

thanks!

No. Your PSA/NSO birth certificate is all you need in that area, no red ribbon. USA does not know what a CENOMAR is ;)

Requirements vary by state, but Red Ribbon and CENOMAR are not on the list.
