Now that you have your visa you can begin to prepare for the trip to the US and beyond. http://dennyeyberg.wixsite.com/filipino-am-visa/understanding-your-visa Start there and follow the tabs across. More tips to save time.

These are the exact questions that the consul asked me on my interview, except the kids part and parents name.

My plan too. I dont want to think anymore never mind write an essay.
Just booked my flights yesterday. It was hellish because my K2 is a cat with asthma so I've been trying to figure out which flight plan I can go with her and which aircraft has a big enough underseat capacity and what documents she will need to stopover in each state we need to enter (cuz they are ALL different, lol). So basically I had to promise my left arm and right ####### to pay for two separate legs of flights on two different carriers, my eyeballs to pay for her two separate tickets on the two different airlines and my unborn son to pay for our three bags...which will have to be rechecked and, you guessed it, repaid for. I AM excited though. Excited I wont have to eat beans and weiners alone.
Good luck on your fiancée's POE! Cant wait for all of us!

There are Wed-Fri appointments for the interview. Mine is Wednesday. I also had my CFO on a Friday. 

Then you have the correct documents. I believe that it doesn't ask for the DS-160 confirmation number. Your good to go. Trust the process.

Did they refuse to let her in? Coz that extra hour before the scheduled time is only to make time for filling up a form which can be done in about 15 minutes. And to answer your question, here's the exact words from the CFO GCP website "Slot is forfeited if you don’t show up on set date of appointment. Reservation must be done again online."😊

I am of that thinking also - if they don't ask, don't volunteer .    It for sure is not an issue anyway.

I see. My DS-160 contains the correct info anyway, we were planning not to raise this issue (if they don't point it out) coz we're afraid that it might cause us a delay. 
 
Thank you, Hank! I have been using your website as guide, really useful!

Salamat!

I hope this helps. 

You can't take the medical yet till you have your MNL#. If you have that then you can schedule your interview, print off the confirmation page and bring that along to show at SLEC. Everything moving forward depends on the case number. You'll just have to wait.

Just the screenshot of the status from ceac with your MNLcase number. Just tell the staff at the registration that you are willing to undergo the medical exam even without the nvc letter yet. They will ask you to sign a waiver then.

December Full Scan  7/7  12:30 AM CST
 
So, apparently the old website is working again with updates... so here's a scan catching up with everything since my last one had data on 6/25!
Check the chart out to see progress. 
 
Please note, only 10 of these updates are from July dates, all 10 on July 6th. The rest are back dated to June.
I'll scan again Monday night to see if it's updating.
 
@kennharv - FYI, in case you didn't know.
 
I found 512 Updates, and 244 Approvals
 
There are 2116 "Case is Received" Virgins remaining, in this data at least.
 
Your Current Status: Case Was Approved 244 Your Current Status: Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction 1 Your Current Status: Decision Notice Mailed 1 Your Current Status: Notice Explaining USCIS' Actions Was Mailed 2 Your Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Was Mailed 204 Your Current Status: Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received 57 Your Current Status: Withdrawal Acknowledgement Notice Was Sent 3 Grand Total 512  

You start here >  http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/nvc-k-1.html
 
Once you have your MNL #  >  http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html
 
If you need the eligibility letter I have a copy here  (the embassy emails this)    >  http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/embassy-letter.html

Just a note.
 
The eligibility letter is usually emailed .. do check your spam filter also.
 
This is not needed to schedule the interview (or most anything else) or completing the interview.   
 
May be useful for acquiring a police clearance .. not sure as that varies with each country to a degree.

Update: We finally have the letter and it says petition has been APPROVED!!! 
 
It's our 200th day today, Philippine time. It still says RECEIVED on the website. 
 
NOA1: December 15
NOA2: June 28
Mail received: July 2
 
I am so happy to finally have it, now we can move on to the next steps. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
