Also on a side note the "exit tax" is 1,650 peso. Not to be confused with the terminal fee. check with your airline to see if this is included in the ticket price to avoid paying twice. Also wrap your luggage before you enter any terminal in Manila with saran wrap.They are slipping bullets in the bags then demanding a " fee" to avoid prosecution.You can pay the exit tax inside the airport early if you wish any time before your departure flight.

I went with my wife to her Interview Nov 10th went smoothly actualy asked me more questions than her. Approved and asigned the visa for pickup at 2 GO,mall of asia . I pre purchased our tickets for the Nov 23rd. Giving us 8 days turnaround time of the visa. Low and behold they were hosting the APEC summit, closing down the embassy for 1 week. No notification from the embassy or Rapidvisa who i hired that this was planned. Needless to say our timing went in the crapper. Received on the 25th, costing an additional 500$ in change fees and an endless amount of stress.Lesson to be learned form this is Listen to everyone who says dont buy the tickets until the visa is in hand, you never now in the Phillipines, ever as in they refuse to commit to any turnaround time. We arrived back in the US nov 27th, POE was a breeze.I have seen questions on here before about who can attend the interviews, my answer is anybody. They never even asked to see my passport at any stage entering the embassy. I saw mothers and father acommpany petetioners. Good luck to future couples in your process.

Did you file a petition for a Visa is what they are asking. The lottery I kmow nothing about the process,did it entail applying for a visa? Good luck in the NVC process make sure your documents are in order.Lots of great info on this site to help you through the process.

How do you know it's left NVC?

They only require last year's tax transcripts

My CR1 has already been approved my NVC stage is completed where is the human error? If they lose it transmitting to the embassy guess what, i have triplicate copies ready to roll. Be prepered not scared.

Lol K1 isn't the same as CR1 Do not live in fear people Good news awaits you

If you do the research and are prepared things will work out in your favor.

Yes there is when you hire proffesionals

Ours is CR1 visa different than Fiance

Thanks Im going to the Interview so it should be a slam dunk. 7-10 days is a wait though, good to know.

Can you get a sponsor? That looks to be your only option unless you have a large amount of assets..

Enter her permanent address . Since she is a US Citizen she is not immigrating.Since you do not remember the supervisors name enter N/A. You do not need any certification as a requirement to work in the US.I entered homemaker for my wifes.I put down she received he diploma from high school. The main thing do not leave anypart blank!!!

Any input on how long after the interview {manila} the visa will be available for pickup. I am trying to schedule flights. Thanks

I RECEIVED THE INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT LETTER VIA EMAIL BUT NO EMAIL STATING C.C. I CONFIRMED C.C. VIA PHONE

No expedite I called NVC daily to check status they confirmed CC Then gave me the interview date

CC 9/29. Scan date 9/04 Interview scheduled Nov 10th Long journey but reward is priceless.

DS-261 IS done online [ choosing your agent ] When this becomes available on CEAC then you can also pay your AOS fee. Check often after completing the 261, call the NVC daily to see if they have entered this information to your file, I waited it cost me time.

I sent in a photocopy of my marriage certificate,no issues.

27 days in NVC Complete case

Case completed today confirmed with NVC via phone 27 day!!!!! The journey was taxing but the reward is priceless

They send you I130 to the NVC IN 1 TO 2 weeks dont wait call the NVC to see if they have scanned in your petition. From day 1 you need to be aggressive and call the NVC to see if each step in the process is ready to move on. They will send you a welcome letter to explain the steps involved. Good luck

No she will not be allowed She can sit in a waiting area outside.

No

We have completed all steps for my wifes visa now in the waiting game @ NVC.We need her green card to b match her married name, if she changes now will this complicate her interview or departure??
