DS-160

[flyboyof3 6]

I need help please. My fiance is in the Philippines and the Visa center in Manila has received our paper work and the next step is to get the interview and medical. My fiance filled out and sent the DS-160 in. What do we do next? when do we pay for the DS-160 and pay for the interview? we are so confused on what to do. we read the info and directions for the DS-160 but it does not say anything about when to pay this or that.

You need to go to this site and follow the instructions (Except where it says DS-260, for you guys it's the DS-160) The first paragraph gives you the website the embassy uses to register you for the biometrics and interview appointments. Payment instructions will be there. The website to register is https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/en/  On the home page, you will see "I need..." under that click on the button that says "An immigrant Visa". On the next page you will click on the green button at the top that says "Visa Login" and on the next page click on "Sign up now"

 

This is the embassy site with all the interview instructions

This website is where you will register and payment instructions will be there - this website is also where you will schedule the biometrics and interview appointments

Thank you my friend. I understand.

After submitting DS-160 https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/en/immigrant-visa#kvisa

 

1. Register at ustraveldocs.com via the Visa Login http://www.usvisascheduling.com/ as mentioned above.

 

2. Once registered, create a new application and ready your nvc case number and payment.

 

3. Pick dates for the VAC biometrics then the interview.
I think you will see more available slots for the interview when you check past midnight Philippine Time.
You must be quick to decide during the entire process as the website times out after few minutes (either no activity or you are browsing the calendar timetable too long).

 

4. After securing dates for biometrics and interview, schedule an appointment with St. Luke's https://slec.ph
Preferably 2 weeks before your chosen interview date.

 

5. Start preparing civil documents:
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/MNL-Manila.html#pre_interview_checklist

 

Ordering civil documents from PSA https://psahelpline.ph takes 3-4 days.
Getting NBI clearance requires appointment for new applicants https://clearance.nbi.gov.ph and available dates could be a week later.

 

Please make sure all the appropriate documents for your case from the checklist link is already in your fiancé's hand before going to the interview or they will make you reschedule the interview.

 

6. Attend the appointments.

 

Good luck on the interview! Hope it goes well and you will be together soon!

 

7. Don't forget the CFO which is a Philippine government seminar (but in no way related to U.S. consulate) that's required to be taken by your fiancé after getting back the passport with visa.
https://cfo.gov.ph/cfo-registration-services
The immigration officer at the airport will ask your fiancé about it.
