Ok, so if i'm understanding the last poster who said go for it all.......

No need to wait on the embassy since I have the MNL number, can just pay the fees, register on website and complete visa application forms, and request interview. All she needs for the medical is the NOA2, her passport, and the fee??

What is this fee that you are going to pay in the Embassy? I'm sorry, but I'm on CR-1 Visa but I'm curious what is this fee? Is this for K1 Visa fee only? Thanks!

fee for the K1 visa interview and fee for the medical exam.

Yes, she will need to wait until the embassy recieves the packet and enters the data into the system before she can pay the fees and schedule the interview, at least that was our experience. Yes for sure scan the NOA2 and get her three copies. That and the MNL case number are all that are needed for the medical. Encourage to do the Medical ASAP in case there is some issue with her chest x-ray and you need to under-go a sputem test.

Best of luck! you are in the home stretch now congrats!!

Thx for the reply. Just to clarify, she pays the medical fees at St. Lukes correct?? That is not part of the fee she pays at BPI, which is for the interview only? If so, she will go ASAP for the medical.

I received notice that NVC sent the paperwork to the Manila Embassy last week. My fiance' has completed all the paperwork (CENOMAR, security, BC, etcc.. and she has all of the petition paperwork already in her possession (I134, photos, emails, letter of intent, etc..) She has the money for her medical and interview. NVC gave me the MNL numbers which I gave to her so she can go to BPI and pay the fees. My question is, does she have to wait for the embassy to actually recieve and put the paperwork in their system before she can pay the fees? Reading the posts here has me a bit confused. One says she can schedule interview 4 hours after paying fees and only mentions needing the MNL number. The embassy web site also mentions the 4 hours but does not really indicate if there is an internal process that must be completed prior to paying the fees. I'm just a bit confused if there is some internal processing at the embassy before she is allowed to pay fees and schedule interview or is just having the case number is enough?? DO they have to "LOG" our case into their system before the fees can be paid and interview scheduling be completed, or is it enough to have just the MNL number?

It appears either she or I will have to register on the site after the fees are paid so she or I can complete and print out 3 forms in duplicate (the visa applications) to be taken for the medical and interview. I am guessing that the processing that is referred to in the posts is when the bank notifies the embassy the fees have been paid and that is what is entered in the system after 4 hours so she can register and schedule the interview?? any help is appreciated.

Another question, should I scan and email to her the NOA1 and NOA2 for her to have for the interview and medical?

Thanks for any assistance.

First time poster..

I received my email notice on 06-27-11 and got the letter on the 29th. The letter says it has been approved and forwarded to the above listed consulate. There is no consulate listed and when I call NVC I got 2 different interpretations of the letter. Its K1 visa petition. The first response I got was that they had not heard of them bypassing NVC but that the letter should have said it was going to NVC. The second response I got was that the letter said the correct information. I'm confused if they actually would bypass NVC and go direct to Manila consulate. Can anyone shed any light on this? I've seen many posts here where cases get from VSC to NVC in a few days. In fact, the first response I got, the guy says they normally get them within 72 hours. The second person said takes 15 working days. I am just trying to figure out where to go besides keeping on calling NVC hehe.

thx for any assistance.
