You will not receive notification to go to your medical exam. Register with SLEC online. No appointment is needed. Try to take care of this two to three weeks before your embassy interview.

Have you paid the visa fee at a BPI branch? Once you do that you can schedule your embassy interview online.

We met in person after 2 months, filed after 3 months, and K-1 visa delivered in-hand after 6 1/2 months. Timeline does not matter. Genuine relationship does. Good Luck!

Yeah um that's pretty inaccurate. Why would you think that?

Yeah um, because it happens quite a bit. It's much easier for multiple visits for partners living in Europe, than say for instance one who resides in East Asia.

We met once for 10 days and no problem with approval. Good luck to you!

Try a different browser like Firefox or chrome. It's funny that way. Others have had the same problem but when the switch it works.

That doesn't work either. Now when I try to submit the initial form where you have to enter the captcha, it takes me right back to the same form with a new captcha. Tried different email address, different browsers. It's not giving me the error anymore, just in an endless cycle of entering new captchas. I had my fiance try in the Philippines and it's doing the same thing.

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem making an online CFO appointment. We get and error message, then when we try to access the site again, it says that the email address has already been used and to try another. When we try another, we get the same error message. Thank You!

Passed embassy interview! Now just waiting on visa issuance. Good luck everyone!

Congratulations guys! How did you schedule the appointment without receiving the paper work from the embassy? Our case has been ready for interview since 12/1. but we've just been waiting for the paperwork from the embassy. Any advice you can give on how you scheduled the interview without the paperwork from the embassy?

Thank you! Philippines cases can be scheduled online with the embassy after receiving the case number. Most people do not receive any mailings from the embassy in Manila before their interview.

Our NOA1 was Oct 6, NOA2 Nov 10, NVC READY Dec 10, and Embassy interview is set for Jan 10. My fiance will be going to his medical exam on Dec 15 and 16. There were actually Embassy interview appointments still available in December, but we wanted more time to ensure all of our paperwork is in order and to allow plenty of time for the medical exams. We still haven't received the NVC case number hardcopy, but we have screenshots of the CEAC case status stating that our case is ready for consulate interview. We have been so fortunate that everything up to this point has fallen into place so beautifully. We are praying for our good fortune to continue and praying that every other loving couple can be together soon. God Bless us all.

Filipino applications are still being expedited due to typhoon Yolanda from last year. There are still millions homeless. Now add typhoon Ruby to the mix. Dire situation in that country.

Hi,

Thank's for the information Congrats!

And good luck for your interview. Have you finished your medical?

I'm hoping for my NOA2! I've been checking my email like everyday.

We do not have a case number yet, but I call NVC everyday. It's been about 2 weeks, so we should get it soon. Thank you, and best of luck to you also!

Hi,

Thank's for the Information

Our NOA2 came before that date. I found the "Show Similar Timeline" button on our profile page to be a more accurate gauge as to when we might receive NOA2....it calculated an average of 35 days between NOA1 and NOA2 for TSC...and we received our NOA2 right on the 35th day!

Our petition was routed from Texas Lockbox to Texas Service Center in Mesquite. We got our NOA1 on October 6, NOA2 on November 10, and received a text/email the our petition was sent to NVC on November 21.

His photo looks fine. My fiance and I had our photos taken at the same place in Manila, but his has a whiter background than mine, and both are not very good quality when printed....but we used them and our petition was approved with no RFE.

I just wrote "SEE ATTACHMENT FOR COMPLETE ADDRESS" in the street address field on the G325A, then made an attachment sheet with my fiance's complete name and address, signed and dated of course. We were approved with no problems.

Yes, the strongest Typhoon to ever hit land with 40 foot storm surge, killing 7300 people and making millions homeless. The homeless are either living in tents (still), temporary housing (rare) or with other relatives not hit by the storm. My fiance's Mother lost her home and all belongings, but was lucky to survive unharmed.

Oops, or a typhoon not earthquake? Sorry, I'm not really sure

Best wishes to you and yours

Thanks for the encouragement

I just came from my Bank of America branch to request the same information. I took a copy of the I-134 with me, and although the bank officer could not process the request right then and there, opened a case for me with their "Commit" department that will put this information in a letter form and send it to me within one week. I would guess there is no Bank of America policy that covers this type of request, but it depends on the bank employee helping you. It's the same with any business, some employees will say "we do not do that", while others at the same institution will go above and beyond. Maybe try another branch and mention that they could try opening a case with their "Commit" department.

Yes, I was getting error message until the day we got our NOA2. It now says our case has been approved.

No, we did not use an attorney, we just followed the directions in this website. Good luck to you!

WOW! 35 days that was very fast...if you do not mind me asking, did you use an attorney? I am curious to know if they discriminate in favor of attorney filed petitions?

Thank you so much!

Ralph and Patrick,

Congratulations!!

I'm happy for you

NOA2 today! 35 days, not bad for TSC. Good luck to everyone else!

Thank you so much! We received our NOA2 today. Best of luck to you!

Adorable video! My fiancée will be here in just two days finally and it goes to show that the time does pass and you'll be together before you know it. Best of luck to you guys

We got our NOA1 on Oct 6th, and our NOA2 today, as well!

I just got notice of NOA2 from TSC! Amazing! I received NOA1 on October 6th, and just (7:38pm) received NOA2 notice via e-mail and text. The website has been down all day long .. but once I received notice I went to the website and saw it was back up again .. and got confirmation on the website that we had been approved! Yippee!
