Thanks

yes its true, you can have your interview sched without your eligibility letter, "dont wait for it, theres nothing in there, its just a notification" what is important is your MNL case number and if your case is already uploaded in thesystem of manila embassy..you can call them to follow up..then by that time you will know your status...just call them from time to time..the K1 packet is already online you can prepare all your documents ahead of time...check this out...this is the K1 packet:

hope it answers your questions..goodluck

Is the case uploaded electronically to Manila from the NVC? Once I have the Manila case number, then do I call the manila embassy every day to see if they received it? or is there a better way to track it? Because I have seen posts where people are tracking a package visa DHL from NVC to Manila.

Thanks for the info.

Regarding a K-1 visa... I have been seeing information that you may be able to interview before receiving packet 3 from the manila embassy. If you get your manila case number from the NVC via email and then you pay your BPI, you can schedule an appointment at the embassy. Do they allow you to goto the appointment without the eligibility letter? Is all of this true? Is there anything in packet 3 you have to have?
