Hello, I came here fiancee visa got married and unfortunately me and my husband s relationship didn t work. He filed legal separation after 2yrs and i moved out of his house just last year.

Hello,

I know the medical requirements is asking for old chest xray and immunization records.

But what if you don't have a chest xray and don't know about immunization records prior to the medical? Will st. Lukes decline appointment if I don't show these?

Hi Everyone,

My fianc & I got approved for our NOA2 on February 3rd, 2023. When we first started our relationship back in 2020 and up until now, we had made the decision that she would come over on the K1 Fianc VISA on her own for the first year to get acclimated to the US, get used to being a wife & a step mom without also having to care for her children. At the time we felt it was a good decision & she had the support of her family to care for her son. We planned to petition for him as soon as we could with the hope of bringing him over to join us within 1-2 years (depending on the length of the process). She has since had second thoughts about leaving him behind for a year & she has since started to feel that her family would not properly care for him once she leaves.

First question...is it too late to have him added to our current K1 VISA application. I am assuming that this answer is yes & if we wanted to go this route, we would likely have to start all the way over back on step 1.

Second question...what is the best way to handle this situation to try to get him to join us within a year (or however long the current process takes)? I am assuming that we would petition for him as an immediate family member as we would be married & I am more than happy to adopt him as part of the process.

Thanks!

Hi there, decided to post directly on the Ph region a few questions i have.


Long story short,
I-129F filled on 2019
I-129F approved on 2020
NVC Case number on Apr 2020
Manila embassy notification (ok to schedule interview) Apr 2022


Right now, we filled the DS-160 and created the profile on USTRAVELDOCS.COM but we are stuck here.

Questions.

1- According to the information i have gathered from VJ, we are on the right path and the next things to do are.

• Pay Visa fee
• Schedule Interview
• Pay and schedule Medical examination to at least a week prior the interview date.

If this correct?

2- When we go to https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-bancnetonlinepayment.asp we are given a different reference number every time we load the page(see attachment), is this number really important? or even if is being pay in person at a RCBC branch?
also note that when this number is given, there is no way for us to tell if we are logged into our ustraveldocs account, as it dont show .

3- We are planning to schedule everything for June as is the month that ill be visiting, if i pay the visa fee now, does it expires? if so in how long?

4- Im(petitioner) planning to go to Philippines for 15 days to be with my fiance for the medical examination, the interview and if everything goes ok, the delivery of the actual visa, will this be enough time?.

5- Once the Visa is approved, how long is this good for? (My fiance will like to give a heads-up to her current employer so that they can find and train her replacement)


Thanks for all your help.
