OP just woke up from his nap. 

Latest what we have heard is everything can be done except the interview scheduling (ds160, fee payment, etc)   The case must show ready to schedule interview

I sent mine on June 19th  hoping for some quick action for all of us!

As of this morning:
 
NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE
 
The need to open the calendar but have yet to do so 

It all depends on the queue on that day.  My fiancee showed to SLEC at 10:30 and made it through by 3:00.  

Based on the current schedule, your earliest interview possibility will be sometime in February so you have plenty of time to let  the process work, as your petition will likely not be on station until the end of January

7-10 working days after receiving the NOA2 for calling, things are still moving slow.    Do email NVC also ... they reply with your MNL# faster to the email than waiting for the letter.   Then your fiancee can use the email from NVC for the medical at SLEC.
 
NBI and foreign police reports (not local)

i think most people i read here who made a call almost everyday just got frustrated 😂😂 2 to 3 weeks would be fine but take note of holidays..omg you guys is almost there just a lil bit of patience 😁😁

Congratulations and good luck with the rest of your journey.

Congratulations.... You can start calling the NVC the middle of next week for the MNL#. 

CONGRATS
 
Be patient with NVC due to the holidays, everything will slow down

That is why write none

None for 26a-27   and ignore the additional question relating to that section.
 
Asset information is not needed, only your GROSS annual income is needed by the embassy.

What part?
 
Part 3. 26a to 27.  Yes
Part 3. 30a to 33. No because the child is a derivative of mom's petition. 
 
Part 3. 7a to 9d.  Not obligated 

For us we don't really have a problem with the exam, its the bill that we dread 😅

You're road lol
 
 
Yeah it is hard when your fiancee is in a Messenger chat and takes what they say with the utmost certainty. I'm the bad guy that wants to triple check everything on VJ because, you know, knowledge.

True, 17k php is so much higher than the other countries represented at slec

And we have Hank too....  😂😂

I can't stand 90DF.  I mean, it's trainwreck reality TV so what do I really expect but I hate the fact that all the snappy soundbites make it sound like "Oh, we have this 90 days to decide if we're going to get married" as if that's what the K-1 is really for and like the people that (mostly) go through the process of getting one are doing that because they may want to marry that person? Sigh.

Now that we are nearing the end, someone has discovered YouTube immigration service.   I have spent the last week debunking misinformation 

if the child is a minor (below 7yr old) the mother has the full custody..when it comes into a court issue specially if the father demand for rights to the child the court will consider the child opinion(7yrs over) they will ask the child to chose which parent he/she want to be..but first the court will consider the ability of each parent to raise the child...i know it seems unfair to the mother that the child can positively chose his/her father if the child is 7yr old and older..in dfa it doesnt matter if the mother is single the father sign at the back of bc only means he recognize the child as his and the child can use his family name...if the mother live in a remote city social welfares usually said to get the father consent before a legal mother can travel abroad with their minor child"its ridiculous"..
 
i was in this situation and do our own thing and follow all instructions of every application and so far our application is doing smooth and we are now in the US..we gonna procced into adopting when we are done with our k1 journey.

And that is the trouble with visa websites that are not Philippine focused.   Philippines is unique in their laws in many ways, so reading information on a website using a "wide paint brush" is not the best of ideas.
 
This is actually a common topic, I really should add this info so I don't have to keep searching it.
 
Sole custody of an illegitimate child is given to the mother by Family  Code, Article 176.    The embassy is well aware of this law.   The boyfriend has no legal rights of any type regarding the child.
 
"Parental authority over minor children is lodged by Art. 176 on the mother"
 
Here is a court case for example

It is not conflicted in regards to "this scenario". Philippine law is quite specific in regards to this if that the mother has custody of the child then she has custody and can do as she sees fit with the child. 
 
The only problem would be if the father is still involved in the child's life. The father can cause problems for them by not allowing the child to leave the country. Usually what happens is the father is given a "gift" to help smooth things over and allow the child to leave.
