Yes SLEC will call at the end of the 60 days. Most get excited and call SLEC though...

Culture results is just that.. results. Everything else is rumors and wives tales.
You have a little one? Have you completed CRBA and the Filipino recognition process?

My with reading one of your comments wrong... sorry.

USEM is not required to accept co-sponsors with the K-1 visa, but they are known to accept co-sponsors who are close family members (parents, siblings). With that said, over the past couple years USEM has been sporadic at even asking for support evidence with the K-1 visa ... so there is a chance of not even being asked... still better to be prepared. (once in the states USCIS accepts any qualified co-sponsor.)
If you do not have a close family member to use as co-sponsor the next option is the ir/cr immigrant visa (spouse) as USEM is required to accept any qualified co-sponsor. This process takes longer and is more expensive when there are children as you have to file a petition for each person.

I knew yours was K-1 (even though your profile is showing HB-1 may want to adjust that to K-1 ) as you kept talking about your fiancee.
As for TB and the SPUTUM culture testing; SLEC is required to follow a defined protocol from CDC. TB is a contagious disease, a person can get it from anyone. For now your fiancee should try to relax, most that come through here doing SPUTUM are found negative.

The NOA from USCIS does show a 4 month validity, but the embassy auto extends the petition validity, no matter, up to a year. This is not a concern, you will not have to start over. Relax on this.
Just a hiccup to over come.. all will be fine.

1) If the SPUTUM culture is negative at the end of 3 days it will then be monitored for a total of 60 days, if at 3 days (or 60 days) the culture is positive she will be scheduled for DOT which takes 6 months ... this is a good thing as it will cure her TB (TB kills). if negative at the end of 60 days SLEC will complete the vaccinations and give your fiancee her medical file for delivery to USEM.
2) Your petition will stay valid for a year, the embassy will automatically extend the validity. Do stress on this, all will be fine.
3) You can cancel your current interview day by phone or online at your dashboard at USTRAVELDOCS. Don't schedule another interview date until you have cleared the SPUTUM hurdle.
Here is a link with helpful info and link for the varied processes. http://visaconnection-philippines.com/index.php
Embassy Manila’s Visa Information and Appointment Service center hotlines are (632) 976-8500, (632) 976-8501 or (632) 976-8502.

I am always confused on that, last year the USA send foreign aid to the Philippines to the tune of $175 MILLION DOLLARS (not pesos), PLUS $50 MILLION DOLLARS in military financing. In 2016 the military aid was increased to $79 MILLION !!
And this does not count the 3.4 MILLION Filipino-Americans that send money back to the Philippines.
Ya the USA is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL in the Philippines... and there is no corruption in the Philippines (wonder where that $175 MILLION gets spent?)
And yes the Osprey are very cool aircraft, we were living in Tucson when they had the crash ... glad they finally got the bugs out of 'em

Relax, nothing is changing. Duterte can only do so much without the "blessing" of the senate. (you do know that couples do this process for IRAN?)
File your petition ... !!

What USCIS did or didn't do has NO bearing on what USEM does. USCIS grands the "right" to apply for a visa, everything they did was for reaching that decision. USEM does their own process for approving your visa application.
As stated many times before, how one person's visa is processed has NO bearing on how your visa will be processed.
Go visit with your family, relax... enjoy the day. Stop stressing..

Called the embassy? Waste of time, call center staff don't know the details ... and for sure won't give you a valuable update.
You really need to RELAX!

Are you posting to yourself?

Quickest? Email. Email copies of everything else and print it out there
Only document that needs to be original is the I-134. FEDEX, DHL or UPS that Do not use the mail.

Really ... you want to keep dragging this around?

OP is processing in the Philippines, there is only one medical facility ... OK?

Follow the name you used on the I-130, don't start creating new problems.
Get CFO done, take the certificate (along with other listed requirements) to DFA and get a new passport . Of course pay for an expedite

CENOMAR (you apply for the CENOMAR, PSA will issue the CEMAR being you are married), embassy wants this needs to be less than 6 months old
NBI - For TRAVEL ABROAD or U.S. VISA ... the green version. Again less than 6 months old.
Passport. DFA takes the old passport when processing the passport renewal, BUT returns both the old and new passport upon completion. May be an issue not having it. Time will tell.
Do follow the embassy instructions letter.

No problem adopting your nieces, what you are doing is not that uncommon in the Philippines.
http://www.dswd.gov.ph/programs/adoption-and-foster-care/
But the adoption process must be completed BEFORE do the visa process.
https://ph.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/adoption/

I found the information on the 2 year requirement:
https://ph.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/adoption/

You won't, the child has the passport... all is good .
Their case is unique for lack of a better word. Most have no issue with the father's name being on the BC to get the passport.. and I know of hundreds where the father's name was used on the BC

Chat doesn't use much internet, as long as it doesn't have video with it. Same for messenger on FB, doesn't use a lot of internet if there is no video.

D pa po kayo kasal? At andito na po kayo US? Bka madeport po kayo pag hindi pa po kayo kasal within 90 days of entry... pag nangyari un sayang lng ung effort at pera na ginastos ng fiance nyo para mapetition kayo. Naiintindihan ko po na nahohomesick kayo kasi wala kang kilala dyan, pero pwede naman po kayo gumawa ng paraan para hindi ka nahihirapan... pwede po kayo magtanong sa mga neighbors nyo o sa simbahan kung may mga ibang pilipino sa area nyo. Pwede din po kayo magskype ng pamilya nyo para makausap nyo sila. Kailangan nyo rin po intindihan na mahal po talaga ang pamasahe papuntang Pilipinas... kaya magusap nlng po kayo ng fiance nyo kung gusto nyo talaga ituloy ung kasal nyo. Kaya nyo siguro ayusin ung mga problema nyo... unless of course sinasaktan ka nya, pro sinabi mo nman hndi nya ginagawa un.
(Translation: You're not married yet? And you're in the US already? You might get deported if you aren't married within 90 days of entry... if that happens, your fiance's effort and money in petitioning you would be wasted. I understand that you're homesick because you don't know anyone there, but you can do something so you won't be having such a hard time... you can ask your neighbors or your church if there are any other Filipinos in your area. You can also Skype with your family so you can talk to them. You need to also understand that plane fare to the Philippines is indeed expensive... so you should just speak with your fiance on whether or not you really want to continue your marriage. You can still fix your relationship problems... unless of course he is abusing you, but you already said he isn't doing that.)

Yes mom can register her daughter while she is at her seminar. The registration is done when she goes to get the sticker, bring her daughters passport w/visa, child's birth certificate and complete the registration form, and it would be helpful to have a few pictures of mom and daughter together.

1.
2. Children 12 and above need to attend PDOS at CFO. Under this age they only need to be registered at CFO to get the sticker http://visaconnection-philippines.com/index.php/2-visa-process/5-cfo-gcp-seminar
3. No issue.
4. Not needed
5. You can get it but not necessary http://www.dswd.gov.ph/faqs/how-to-secure-solo-parent-i-d/
6. No matter... mother has sole custody.
There are no additional steps required for the K2 child. Mother has sole custody of the child. Burned $150 for nothing. I know of hundreds before you with K2 that are now in the USA..
A solo parent, as defined by RA 8972 is:
A woman who gives birth as a result of rape and other crimes against chastity even without a final conviction of the offender, provided that mother keeps and raises the child. Parent left solo or alone with the responsibility of parenthood due to the following circumstances: a. Due to death of spouse.
b. Spouse is detained or is serving sentence for a criminal conviction for at least one (1) year.
c. Physical and/or mental incapacity of spouse as certified by a public medical practitioner.
d. Legal separation or de facto separation from spouse for at least one (1) year, as long as he/she is entrusted with the custody of the children.
e. Declaration of nullity or annulment of marriage as decreed by a court or by a church as long as he/she is entrusted with the custody of the children.
Unmarried mother/father who has preferred to keep and rear her/his child/children instead of having others care for them or give them up to a welfare institution. Any other person who solely provides parental care and support to a child or children. Any family member who assumes the responsibility of head of family as a result of the death, abandonment, disappearance or prolonged absence of the parents or solo parent.
