Hello all, I've been lurking here for a little while. Had a good experience so far with the CSC. 30 days for Visa approval! Does anyone know how long it takes for the visa package to go from the NVC to the Embassy in Manila? Just trying to calculate calendar time of events, etc.

Also, while I'm posting. My fiancé traveled to Manila for a job recently to help pay some bills, etc. She has all but disappeared. Dropped off the map completely. Perhaps no load? Busy with the new job? Just waitressing but it's a lot of hours. Has this ever happened to anyone on here?

I129F filed: June 26th, 2015

Received: June 29th, 2015

NOA1: July 1, 2015

NOA2 Approval: July 30th, 2015

NVC case number: waiting..........

Ours took like 3 weeks .. Double check on my timeline but yeah it's kinda long... Good luck!

I am so happy for you.

This is so exciting

Thank you!! She was just asked three questions ..

1) how many times did I come to visit her? Which is only once

2) does she have proof or our relationship ? Lots!!

3) where do I work?

Then the consular said your visa is approved! She's coming here August 21 a week before my birthday !!! Whohooo thank you Lord for all the blessing.. Good luck to everyone .. Remember don't lose hope cuz at the end of this journey everything will be worth it..

That is really exciting that she had her interview today. Please let us know how everything went

She's approved !!! My baby is coming home .. im so happy!!

Good luck to everyone who's interview are coming up...

Today is the day that my fiancée has her interview! I'm so nervous!! What are the chances of her getting denied ... I'm so scared !!

What confirmation page? The interview or the DS-160 one? If the interview confirmation page.. How can we change it to the new one ?

Use the old one for everything until you get to the interview then hand them the new one.

Thank you !!

Thanks for the reply.. What about when she gets her medical? The hospital needs to forward it to the U.S. Embassy ... They will have the old one ..

My fiancé applied for a tourist visa last year and got denied and now we are filing for a k-1 visa and everything is set to go and now we just finished scheduling for the interview. The problem is the confirmation for the interview has her old DS-160 number and not the new one cuz she hasn't submit it yet.. Would that be a problem ? She's going to do her medical on Monday and we can't call today cuz it a holiday in the Philippines.. Any suggestions on how we can solve this.. Or how we can change it to the new one? Thank you

congrats! depends on your country. some countries, once you have the case number, you can schedule your interview online (others you aren't able to do that). read up on your country's forum and see what happens next! but at the very least, with the case number, you can track your case on the CEAC website to see when it arrives at the embassy!!

Thank you so much!! Good luck to all of us that we get to be with out love ones very soon!

Btw.. If I suddenly switch jobs right before the interview but a job that pays more.. Would it be a problem? All the information is going to be my old job.. Should I send something with my new job? But I dunno if I'll have enough time for that ...

Just got my NVC Number !! Whoohoooo !! So what's next ? What does that do for us? Anyone can help ? Thanks!

I hope everyone is having a great day !

Question-if I leave my job right now and get a job right away with no unemployment in between.. Cuz I found a better job with better pay would it affect my petition when my fiancée gets an interview and ask for employment history and support ? Do you think they will deny the visa because of that ? Thank you!

Btw it's so hard getting a hold of NVC phone line .. Stressful! :/

2 weeks after NOA-2, call NVC: (603) 334-0700 (best times: 7 am EST or midnight EST). It may take about 20-40 calls to get put in the waiting line, and the wait time can be about 40 minutes - don't give up, plan to do something else in the meanwhile. Listen carefully to the menu options.

Have both petitioner and beneficiary names and birthdays available, as well as USCIS case number.

Ask if NVC has received your case yet and has assigned their number (it will be like MOS2015000000, the first three letters being letter abbreviation code for the embassy, then year 2015, then some kind of 6-digit ID)

If you get that number, write it down.

If no, repeat the whole thing in a week.

Using this number you can track your status all the way to "ready at the embassy" on CEAC website here: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx Note that it may take 2-3 days for your number to actually start registering in the system, and you may get an error for the first couple of days - this is normal.

Thank you so much for your help.. I will call in two weeks ..

Each country's consulate has a different version of packet 3. Try checking here: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/?ctry=Philippines&cty=Manilaand then ask the Philippines regional forum if it's accurate: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

Thank you!!

You can find your consulate's version of packet 3 and start gathering paperwork for that. Just be careful since some of the documents are time sensitive.

thanks for the reply... But what's the consulates version of packet 3? How do I find or get that?

Thanks guys for the congrats.. I just have a question, what can we do now while waiting for the hard copy and getting it transfer to NVC.. To process our petition faster? Thank you! And congrats all who have received theirs too..

We just got our NOA2!! I'm so happy!!! Yay!!! Happy dance !!

Hi...my fiance and I filed our 129f back in January, and we are waiting for approval within the TSC as many others are...I just wanted to reach out to see if there are any other gay or lesbian filers that are going through this process just for support. We are a gay couple, patiently waiting, and I know I could definitely use some words of wisdom and/or guidance. Thanks.

We are LGBT filers too!! Waiting for our noa 2

Is so awesome to see everyone here getting close .. I've been reading your guys post and I see a few have been getting RFE's due to how you guys met.. I'm kinda getting scared cuz I answered we met on a social media website for lbgt.. Do you think I'll get an RFE ? I didn't state what specific site .. But it's not through a marriage broker .. *feeling scared*

And yes we did.. Phew..thank you !

And yes we did.. Phew..thank you !

Is it possible to get a RFE or get denied on your interview if you only flew once but stayed for three weeks to be with your Fiancé? I'm getting worried ..
