We just received our case number and are now starting on the rest of the information we need to move our process forward.

I am hearing a few things about a "NBI Clearance" that is also needed.

I cannot seem to nail down any clear information about that and I am told it is not the same as the "Police Clearance" could someone point me in the right direction for this....

Thanks so much for any help you can throw at me....I thought I had this figured out....ugggg !!!

Sincerely,

cjmc

congratulations! we actually have the same NOA2 Date June 13,2013, Ours are from Texas transferred from Vermont. NVC told us to wait for 8 weeks.

Wished ours was as fast as yours. congrats again!

WoW !!!....Did you call them and that is what they told you ??

We have applied for a K1 Visa with my fiancé in the Philippines.......

Our NOA2 date was 6/13/13.... I just called NVC when they opened at 7:30 am Eastern time...

The wait was only about 5 minutes and I talked to a really nice man about getting our Case #.....he said "Are You Ready to Write" ? Oh yes I said !! I also had my fiancé on Skype so she could hear everything.

The man verified all our information and added my fiancé's email address for further notices.

He gave me our case # and said that our package would be sent to the embassy soon !!!

Now to pay the Visa fee in the Philippines, schedule the medical and interview.....Wow....my honey has a lot to do now and away we go !!!

Thanks to this site....we understand what to do :-)

Cheers..... !!!

We did it all online. As soon as I got the MNL number, I booked away. Funny thing though, I flew over for the interview, and came back home after a few days. I checked my mail and there was the confirmation letter from the embassy. Oh well...better late than never, right?

My faince arrived yesterday!!!!

Wow !!! Congratulations....how are things going now that your love has arrived ??? :-)

Curt

I am located in Mill Creek, WA.....my Bride is from Angeles City, Philippines :-)

NOA2 came on June 13th....I called NVC and they told me....15 business days for them to receive the file, but yet some have already received their case numbers from the June 13th notice....who knows what the deal is....we are waiting on our government :-)

Curt

Just called NVC trying to get a case #.....Our NOA2 was approved on 6/13/13

The nice lady told me that it is taking 15 business days for NVC to receive the package for processing....ok...hurry up and wait....!!!!

Cheers,

Curt

I really think the amount of time to get the case number is a moving target.....depending on how many files they have to process...I received the NOA2 on June 13th and have not heard anything yet....I will start calling next week.

From what I am reading, by getting your case number by calling and not waiting for the official notification, will allow you to start moving forward...working on your medical would be the next big step. As soon as you have that case number....you can pay the Visa fee's, start working on your medical and interview date....

Good luck to everyone !!!!

Curt

I am also planning on attending the interview with my fiancé in the Philippines....I feel that the support shows really good intent and the willingness to participate in such an important part of immigration...would not miss it !!! It truly starts a new beginning of the relationship, what a great time to spend together..... :-)

Our NOA2 was also approved on June 13th....nothing from NVC so far, I sent them an email yesterday.

Wow !!! I hope that long wait is not really true......

Curt

Hi Dustin- I just sent an email off to the NVC....we will see what happens :-)

Curt

Hi Dustin- Hopefully the CA Service Center is quicker than Vermont :-)

Thanks for the info....every little bit helps !!!

Curt

We received our NOA2 on 6/13/13...from what I am reading, I can call the NVC to get our MNL case number eventually and do not have to wait for an official notification from the Manila Embassy....How long should I wait to start making that phone call based on current processing times ??

Once I have the MNL case number....can I then have my fiancé pay the application fee.....once that is done, can we start working on an interview appointment date.....??

Can my fiancé get her CFO done at any time before the interview or do we again have to wait for the MNL case number...??

Thanks for any help on this....so much to understand and learn and I want to be prepared so there is no wasted time :-)

Cheers,

Curt

Hi AgnieszkaS- Looks like it just takes a few days to get from the USCIS to the NVC and a few days then to send it off to the Embassy.... I am now waiting for the same next step just like you are :-)

Good luck !!!

Cheers !!!

The CSC received our package on 2/25/13 and sent the NOA1 to us on 2/27/13....we received our NOA2 approval on 6/13/13 :-) now waiting on the NVC notice, any idea how long this is currently taking and then the notice from the US Embassy in Manila ??

Thanks for any input :-)

Cheers

From what I understand....you have to wait for the embassy in Manila to confirm receipt of your K1 package from the NVC, and then they invite you to pay the processing fee's...once paid, then you can schedule your interview. This is exactly what we are waiting for now :-)

Cheers !!!
