Few more questions about after NVC

[Pseudo_ 16]

Hey VJ peeps,

 

Been searching about these questions for the past hours but been finding no luck or I'm just missing it. Hopefully someone can clarify these things for me.

 

1. My USC Fiancee already got an email letter from NVC (posted below). My fiancee never received a hard copy yet, Will they still send one thru mail or this email is enough for  me to print to present so I can get my medical examination?

 

2. As I checked thru CEAC website, our status already shows 'Ready'. Do I still have to wait for the US Embassy of my country to contact me before I can pay for the visa and schedule an appointment? If yes, are they going to contact me thru email? Coz I've moved to a new location.

 

3. Do I need to schedule everything right away after the Philippines US Embassy give me the signal or can I delay it for at least 2 months? Some things came up and It would be convenient for me to do the medical and interview after a month or two.

 

So sorry if these questions have been asked before but I have missed it, really. Thank you very much

Your status at CEAC is READY!!   Then it is ROCK n ROLL Time!!!!!    Nothing to wait for.

 

The email is adequate for completing the medical at St. Luke's, print a copy of that email and bring the first day of the medical.

Here is the K-1 visa process:  http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html

 

You are in control of when things are done for the visa process.  Being you want to wait a couple months I would suggest to get your profile setup for now, then wait for a short time on the medical (visa validity dates will be tied to the date of the medical).   If you pay the visa fee now it will still be valid for up to 1 year .. no harm in waiting.

And you never will.  If you provide NVC an e-mail address, the official "letter" comes as an attachment to an e-mail and they will not send it via post.

Letter comes as a .rtf attachment.
