hello! i just called NVC and got our case number. 

how about you guys?

Hi JahRyl...I see your fiancee is from Philippines also. I got NOA-2 on 4/4 and still have heard nothing yet from the NVC. I tried calling on the non-immigrant 1-800 number and was told by recording that I need her passport #. Well, due to a mixup, she had to re-apply for her voter registration ID, which did not show up on the passport web site as a required ID. Did you have a passport # or were you able to work around that in getting your MNL #?

Hello! I'm the beneficiary from the Philippines but we filed in Qatar USEM. 

When I called NVC, they just asked for my full name and date of birth and the receipt number from uscis (beneficiary). And also my fiances fullname and date of birth. They did verify all those details and gave me our case number.

I emailed the consulate in Montreal this morning asking for clarification on the email they sent me last week. I wanted to know if I'd have to resend my packet 3 email or not. A couple hours later, they replied with my packet 4 email! Medical is now being scheduled, interview is scheduled and I'm getting VERY nervous/excited!

When you called NVC to get your MNL #, did you phone the immigrant or non-immigrant phone #? I called the non-immigrant number and the recording said I needed my fiancee's passport #. The immigrant visa line did not require that.

Yes, we got ours on the April 27, but unfortunately, they sent the application to the wrong country.  My fiance was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras but has been living in Costa Rica for the last few years.  When we got the approval letter, it was specified the consulate was San Jose not Tegucigalpa.  Well, after talking to so many different customer service.  They finally told me they were going to make sure the application got to the right consulate.  So, right now is in transit to Tegucigalpa, once is there God only knows how but NVC assured me they are going to send it to Costa Rica.  I am a 47 years woman but I was crying like a young girl.  How did this happened.  I don't know.  Needless to say, I am going to call Tegucigalpa, Costa Rica and wherever I need to call to make sure my application finally gets to the right place.

 

I am so glad that you got your case number.  I wish you guys the best.  Blessings.

 Did you have to supply a passport number?

When I call the number for non-immigrant visa, the recording says I need my fiancee's passport number, which due to a stupid complication, she is held up on getting until June 6.

Simple fix - call the immigrant visa line. K-1 is unique in that they will respond to it on either line.

@HeartMoyo we are praying these last couple steps before he takes that flight are simple and fast.  Praying against any RFE, delays in getting an interview, and travel complications.  We'll have to buy a last minute flight from Zimbabwe home to me and how God's gonna pull that one off, I guess we just wait and see.  Easily $2,000-$3,000 for a one way flight last minute. I don't know where that money is, but it will be there in time.  Congrats on being approved It took 18 days for our NVC number, he leaves for Zim on Friday, and tonight we completed his DS-160, to the point that he just needs to add the photo and submit.  His second police clearance is on Monday and his medical is next Wednesday.  You have to schedule a medical at least two weeks before your interview date.  Since we don't have an interview date yet, that made it easy.  We knew we needed to go ahead and get things scheduled while we waited for that NVC number because Harare only recognizes TWO doctors for the medical, so the first chance you get you're going to want to see what their schedule looks like.  He has THREE more working days after today.  A very emotional week, but soon he'll be able to relax, and by faith we believe he'll be home in America by the last week of May or first week of June.  We chose 4 wedding dates of June 10th, 11th, or July 15th, 16th.  I can't wait to be his wife!

Embassy transfer from Riyadh to Manila complete~ Somehow it only took 1 week from when they acknowledged the request! It did take several calls and emails and over a week for them to acknowledge it, though.

@geowrian when choosing a flight, I've read that it doesn't matter if you buy a round trip or one way.  Does it matter what you choose for the return date even when you're not returning?  Meaning, can I choose one 90 days from that date?

One way flights are fine when traveling on an immigrant-intent visa like a K-1.
