i will be doing it here in manila coz our flight is from here.wow i didn't know CFO would be hard.thank you@greenbaum. 

Here are some items that you should know:

 

- Basic Information about you, the fiancé(e)/spouse (Name, Address, Birthday, etc.; Your Birthplace is important too, specify which city/town/area/province)

- Basic Information about your petitioner (Sometimes you are going to be asked for the Birth Certificate copy)

-     Know the            ******FULL MAIDEN NAME of USC's MOTHER  ********

- Contact person in the Philippines, specifically immediate family as in Father, Mother, Siblings.

- Landline Number of Petitioner. (I know, I know, most of you guys don't use landlines now. That's what was running through my mind too.) If no landline is available, Landline of Petitioner's Nearest Relative or Petitioner's Neighbor, or work number.

- Petitioner's Educational Attainment, Degree/Course, Occupation

- Information on Petitioner's Divorce/Annulment/Death of previous wife or husband. You must have a copy of the Divorce Decree/Death Certificate.

- ZIPCODES. Both the petitioner and the beneficiary. Never forget to write those down.

Be confident. Smile. Look the person in the eyes when answering and you should have this. Each interviewer is different so I give you the worst case scenario so you are prepared for anything. Fiancée can't go into the building but can wait at a café if he wants but he may want to go exploring while you are there and you text/call him when you are finished. Sometime half a day sometime a full day.

Finally have the interview date. 6/18. We are hoping to make our POA July 4th. 

 

Medical was in london on 5/30. My fiancé told me it was quick and he waited in the waiting room hour and half.

I just wanted to share my interview experience. 

My case status is currently in “administrative processing”. I attended the interview yesterday. Unfortunately, my medical results are still not there in the embassy. I was advised by SLEC that they are the one who’s gonna send the results to the embassy because there was a typo error on te results and they need to redo it but they said that everything is cleared.

 

After the interview, the consular told me that “it looks good, proceed to the releasing area for further instructions” 

 

when I went to the releasing area. I received a 221g because they need my medical results. I was advised to wait for the embassy’s message and not to contact SLEC. My passport is still with them. They didn’t return it back.

 

Now, I’m just wondering if my case is going to be approved or not. Hopefully everything will be okay and will get my visa soon.

IF they have kept your PASSPORT then you are APPROVED. I tell everyone, when I can remember, to ask the CO if you are approved before you leave their window. Most will tell you. For you it's just going to be a little more time. Maybe 5-10 days depending on SLEC.

THe consul only said “it looks good” then asked me to proceed the releasing area where I received a 221g regarding my medical results. 

 

Ps: during the interview, the consul never asked for any documents and the interview only lasts for 2-3 mins.

And because of that, I am trying to think positive. 

 

Would you happen to know how long does it usually take to send the medical results from SLEC to Embassy?

Everyone's case is different. Some take a little longer then others. There is no explanation. These are the steps that your visa takes before it is issued. Once it's issued it's about a day or so then it's on its way. Don't bother the Embassy as everything you need to track your visa is here: (Philippines ONLY)

 

TRACK YOUR VISA/PASSPORT AT THE EMBASSY

 

State Dept.  visa tracking:  https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?   (not updated or as detailed as the USEM website)

 

Here is a link for requirements for receiving your passport and the visa, there are also options for tracking the status of your visa/passport and where it is currently.  You can also change delivery options.  http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-passportretrieve.asp#trackingoptions

 

If your application was temporarily refused under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, you can now check the status of your application online. http://manila.usembassy.gov/adminprocessing2.html

Finally received Packet 3 from US Embassy in Madrid after my fiance sent them an email.   Made my fiance run to the post office and send them certified mail of docs!  This is all becoming so real and I feel so happy that I am not the only one on this journey and we can all share our experiences and guidance through this process.  Best of luck to everyone!  

Did you just recieve an email? That is all they sent to my fiancé (petitioner)

Are you waiting for your visa? My fiancé picked it up at the embassy instead of having it mailed and the marriage license we did online and just need to go to the Recorder's office to pick it up in person once he's here. As for the SSN I think we'll wait a couple of weeks since we aren't planning on marrying until the end of June. Good luck on your wait, fingers crossed you get what your waiting for very soon!

Can you please send a link where we can apply for marriage license online?

Depends entirely on the state/county you plan to get married in in the US. Marriage licenses have very specific requirements and they vary by location.

Yes just an email. Thanks. Good luck with the rest of this process

Wow guys... movers are here!  I am currently living in New Jersey but my fiance and I decided that this was not the right place for us.  So once he arrives in the US, we will be living in Florida.  Luckily my employer transferred me.  We are both very excited.  It will be a new beginning for both of us.  I have spent the last few weeks packing.  I am physically and emotionally exhausted.  I just wanted to share this!  Hope everyone has a good weekend.

No one can say for sure as none of us knows their workload or what needs to be done to make your file "complete". I'd say you will see some movement on your case toward the end of the week. Then you should have your visa the following week. That's just a GUESS.
