    How Long It Takes NVC to Process Your Case And Send It To Manila Embasy ?

    in National Visa Center (Dept of State)

    Posted

    Once we had the MNL # it was rock 'n' roll time; got the visa fee paid at BPI, scheduled the interview then off to SLEC.

    For the NVC:

    Check on your embassy case number:

    Give them 7 - 10 days after receiving the NOA2 before calling. Call after 4:45 PM eastern time for shorter wait times K1's are not tracked through the AVR, ever. They are processed like an immigrant visa, but they are NOT immigrant visas, so they fall into a completely different class of their own. Therefore you need an operator. To get there:

    1-603-334-0700 Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)

    Press 1 for English

    Press 5 for an operator

    NVC CONTACT INFORMATION:

    Website: www.immigrantvisas.state.govwww.immigrantvisas.state.gov

    E-mail: NVCInquiry@state.gov (I found NVC to be very quick responding to emails)

    REQUIRED SECURITY INFORMATION:

    You are required to provide the following security information with each inquiry to receive a case specific response:

    * NVC Case Number or USCIS Receipt Number (Place in the subject line of the e-mail).

    * Petitioner's name and date of birth.

    ( NOTE: If the visa petition is employment-based, include the employer's company/organization name instead of the petitioner's name and date of birth. )

    * Principal Applicant's name and date of birth.

    LETTER FROM NVC WITH MANILA NUMBER

    When you get the letter from NVC stating the MNL # , scan and email a copy to your fiancee to bring to St. Luke's

    Manila Embassy:

    NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR MNL # (don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy )

    (NOTE: When getting NSO certified copies of your Birth Certificate get a few extra copies for bringing to the States with you. You will need them from time to time)

    Select the deposit slip that matches your visa application fee from the list below. Values are shown in U.S. dollars and native currency. This page has more information about the different visa application fees. (you may have to change the border from .75 to .25 for printing for it all to print on one page, also some have been asked at BPI for three copies of the deposit receipt, why I don't know)

    http://ustraveldocs....visafeeinfo.asp

    For K-1 the fee is $240

    After you have paid the visa application fee, keep the BANK receipt for your records. It cannot be replaced if it is lost. You will not be able to schedule an appointment without your receipt number.

    If you have an account with either Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI) or BancNet you may choose to pay your visa application fee online using their online bill pay services. Click on either of the links below if you are a BPI or BancNet customer and wish to make an online payment.

    If you are paying for more than one applicant, please DO NOT make a lump sum payment for all the applicants. A UID/receipt number is required for each visa application fee payment for EACH applicant for scheduling an appointment. After you have paid the visa application fee, please keep the fee receipt for your records.

    Receipt Format

    Note: If you have a Bank of Philippine Islands receipt, your fee receipt number should be your passport number. If something other than your passport number appears in the circled area on the graphic, use that information as your receipt number. This receipt number verifies your payment and allows you to schedule your visa interview When scheduling online with the embassy you need to use the receipt number as shown on the payment receipt from BPI. You can schedule the interview online or by calling the numbers listed below.

    Once you have registered you can then schedule the interview. http://photos.state....on_rtf2_002.pdf

    (The DS-156 can be difficult to complete sometimes, if you have issues try a different browser.)

    Required documents & "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: originals & copies of; CENOMAR (CEMAR and marriage certificate if married), certified birth certificate. Passport and copies of bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together. From USC (copies of) - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been married before) are the most common requests. The "other documents" clause can be ANYTHING with those nit-wits at CFO.

    ** From the Family Code of the Philippines: it's 21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent. (Some are posted on VJ that they were not asked for this, yet others have been asked, so be prepared)

    Thank you , Hank !!!!!!!

    can anyone tell me if how long we should wait for our NOA2

    No one can say for sure because it depends on an unknown variable--the rate at which the CSC will complete the I-129Fs that were filed before yours. Historically, that completion rate has varied from month to month. At present, however, it is at an historic low and has been for some time, which has allowed an unprecedented build-up in petitions.

    Though the published stats don't go far enough to deal with February petitioners, here is more information about different scenarios for all petitioners up to those who filed in January: http://www.visajourn...jection-graphs/

    In short, things don't look good, I'm afraid.

    Gosh! it seems like our patience will really be tested in that case. I really appreciate your comment. thank you :)
