Well, I kind of answered the "what's next question". Take a look at the instructions I posted and regroup from the beginning. Simple.

Use these links. PPL from other embassy's tend to give generic answers which may or may not be true for your embassy. I have provided links below for the next steps for the preparation for the interview. Best link to use is Hank's website. He has step by step instructions and you will probably thank me for the links and tips.

It's a good place to read what others are experiencing which will only prepare you for your interview. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/ Manila US Embassy states that a scanned copy of the signed I-134 is fine, if you don't have the original.

Please read the PDF file from the first post in this thread on the first page. Everything is there that you should be doing at this stage. Some items have passed others are still "in use". Your next step is to call NVC to get your case number. Phone numbers and instructions are in the PDF. Once you have your case number your case gets sent to the Embassy. Instructions for this process are also in this PDF.

Address to your Embassy.

Everyone goes through a number of steps which AP is see twice. Here is the sequence to follow on CEAC. the first AP is the immigration unit doing the paperwork for approving the visa the first ready is a notice that they are finished and the paperwork is being sent for visa issuance the second AP is the visa issuance people doing their own paperwork the second ready is that the visa has been issued and is currently being processed for delivery Then "issue" is posted and the visa has left the BIG house to YOUR house. Once you get that second ready, it should be sent out within a few days, although we received our visa before any of the various websites that allow you to look up the status said that it had been sent out.

Next steps: Follow along in CEAC for updates with these steps. the first AP is the immigration unit doing the paperwork for approving the visa the first ready is a notice that they are finished and the paperwork is being sent for visa issuance the second AP is the visa issuance people doing their own paperwork the second ready is that the visa has been issued and is currently being processed for delivery Then "issue" is posted and the visa has left the BIG house to YOUR house. Once you get that second ready, it should be sent out within a few days, although we received our visa before any of the various websites that allow you to look up the status said that it had been sent out.

Usually you will not receive the P3 letter in the mail. Do an online service request. They will respond typically in 2 -3 days with the instruction (P3). You will need to submit D-160 and pay the visa fee, then schedule the medical afterward. Technically, you will need the P3 to complete the medical exam, although some have gotten by with just the interview confirmation. I wouldn't risk it and would just request that they email it to you via: https://vn.usembassy...a-inquiry-form/ When using the form be sure to add in the comments section the last 4 digits of your SSN or they will email you back asking for it which causes further delays. Here is some information including the Embassy P3 for you to get a head start P3 Letter https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GXiJXlEPZhqwUSFDpkcviyJNbw2BoXDn/view?usp=sharing https://vn.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/K-Instruction-Package.pdf

Normally Canada requires you to wait for the P3 which takes 2-4 weeks from CEAC "Ready" status. Comply with what they ask for in P3 (the actual one they send you) by sending them a copy of the signed P3 checklist, your DS-160 confirmation and your Passport Bio. Then they send you P4. Then they tell you to register to schedule and you'll wait some more for interviews to open up, which only happens once a month during the last week of the month for two months ahead UNLESS you are lucky and you scoop up a cancellation. Get your medical appointment first so you can schedule the interview shortly afterwards. Packet 3: https://ca.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/07/Packet3Instructions-K1.pdf And Packet 4 for reference also: https://ca.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/03/Packet4-MTL.pdf For all things dealing with the US Consulate in Canada head on over to the sub-forum for Canada where they will answer your questions for the processing of your visa from their personal experience. Link: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/93-canada/ Birth Certificate and Police Certificate information https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aa5iWVtFniXGWavXN0zs-94dewD2Fdfy/view?usp=sharing Here is some additional information. As was stated in the Canadian sub-forum there is an "emergency order" application in Ontario. You need the birth cert that is CERTIFIED COPY OF BIRTH REGISTRATION that has the parents name. You don't want the "parental cert" that is a wallet sized one with parents names but no place of birth, doctors who attended birth etc. The parental one is for parents travelling with kids to prove custody in an easy to use/travel with format. Hope this clears up your question. CALL the registrar and tell them you need to do an emergency application otherwise you will be waiting 15+ weeks. Absolutely the long form is a required LIVE document needed at the interview or you'll get rejected. I hope this info is helpful and best of luck. In case you're doing the medical in Vancouver: Dr. Cheema requires you to schedule the interview first in order to book the medical. Routine vaccinations such as MMR, Tetanus, Flu Shots, etc are offered free of charge in the province of Ontario. Patients can walk into any health care clinical or family physician office and receive these immunizations for free. it would be better to go and get your vaccinations free of charge rather than pay any additional fees at these the medical exams.

Use the informational PDF on the first page, first entry. Look for NVC address changes.

I need a little more information. Does it say anything else?

Yes it is a requirement of the Philippine Government and you will not be allowed to board your plane without a completed certificate attached to your visa. Here is a link to use with easy explanations and steps to follow to complete this process. https://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/cfo.html

There is no fee for the DS-160. Many here are under the belief that the DS-160 requires the $265 payment (interview fee). They are separate steps, DS-160 is FREE to submit but is required both for the scheduling of the interview and to allow you to make your payment, plus DS-160 is for the interview.
