I'm not 100% but I believe that you would be able to schedule the medical, but the process is embassy specific for scheduling the interview. The only necessary requirement is that the medical is at least 2 weeks prior to the interview in order to get your results in time for the interview. As well, the medical is good for 6 months which is PLENTY of time before the interview 

 

I emailed the embassy and they sent us Packet 3. Medical is being done today. Interview scheduled for June 25! :-) Thank you so much.

When filling out the DS 160 do we put the NVC case number or the WAC UCIS number. On the part where is ask for application/ receipt petition number???

Would calling and asking why my case is still at NVC do anything, or should I just continue to wait?

It won't help. Just wait until it goes in transit.

My case has been at the NVC for 21 days now.  I call every other day.  I get mixed answers.  Either they say that the case is waiting to be sent to the embassy and is taking a bit longer but no idea why.  Yesterday I was told that it was in administrative processing.  As I understand it, all cases go through some type of administrative processing at the NVC.  Some cases are released quickly, and some take a bit longer, I was told not to worry, this is normal, there is nothing wrong with my case, I just have to wait until it goes in transit.

WOW that's quick, your medical results will only take one week to be ready for the interview? Does your consulate schedule the interview for you or were you able to choose from their website?

I would as well try to ease your mind, I feel like EVERY case is handled differently even if they are in the similar family type of situation or same country even. I really feel as if it depends who has gotten assigned the case, yes sometimes we see trends but sometimes we just don't have a logical explanation for comparisons of cases

Yes. Our medical was completed today and the results will be at the Embassy by Friday.

How long does my case has to be in READY to receive package 3 from my embassy? I sent them an email on thursday when they got it. They responded yesterday that they received the electronic file of my petition and are now awaiting for the physical file. i am tired and just want to finish this process...

We have the same NOA2 date, letter 5/24, new website 5/25. And we called as well today. They just received it, no case number yet. We will call again tomorrow for the case number update. 

We got our case number just now. 😊

I received a letter from the NVC this morning with a case number and saying that the case will be sent to my selected embassy. Does this mean that it's already in transit, or is this letter just to let you know your application has been received. 

 

What should my next steps be?

There are two other couples that are about a month ahead of you. Go up to the blue ribbon at the top of the page. Find and select on "portals". Once on that page scroll down and look for VJ TOGO Timelines: Select K-1 timelines. A spreadsheet will populate and there you will find other Togo couples that can help you. There isn't much information available for Togo so I can't be much help.

It maybe but it may not be. You can check on CEAC the status as it will say "in transit" or "received". Next step Is to complete your profile as we do not know what Embassy you are processing your application with.

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer.

 

If you look at the profile others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

Congrats.

 

To smooth that trail for your I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps he includes the what, when and why to completing the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

 

http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html

 

Next you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread are processing through another country they would be hard pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

 

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

 

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

 

https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/the-interview/

 

Here is the Packet 3 letter.

 

https://ph.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/82/2016/08/K1-and-K2-Applicant-Interview-Preparation-Instructions-08112016-English-336KB.pdf

 

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing.
