lolhahaha

The passport is the travel document......A visa is an entry document.

Passport is good.  They will look for the visa in the passport during check-in, and also the CFO stamp.
 
Don't forget the Travel Tax .. which can be paid at the airport, online and a number of other locations.
 
TRAVEL TAX
       
Before exiting the Philippines (after receiving the visa and CFO sticker in your passport) there is Travel Tax to be paid.  This can be paid at the locations listed in the link below

Place of issue is usually referring to the passport
 

International travel document is the passport.   A visa simply gives the holder permission to seek entry to a given country and by itself is worthless 

You can buy transformers for the appliances from the US if you want to bring them here. I've flown over several times with stuff like a blender and hot plate for the kitchen and tools like circular saw but you can buy those here, and a sawzall which is almost impossible to find here in the Philippines but great for cutting branches off of the trees. I'd bring over a jigsaw too because those are  5000+ pesos here, which is at least double the price in the US for the same cheap jigsaw. The transformers I have are 500w and 2000w. I can run anything in the kitchen off the 2000w and use the others outside. One is for the ceiling fan I shipped over from Home Depot and is in our terrace outside. They sell those here in the hardware stores though so you can just buy a ceiling fan here but a few years ago I couldn't find a ceiling fan anywhere since we live away from the big cities.

Coltee said his mom is disabled. Not sure what her condition actually is.  Clearly she can walk .. including stairs.  My mom went through a knee replacement and has A-Fib.. they have a placard.  I imagine it depends on the State you live and the rules.
 
THANKFULLY  Debbie has a placard in the car .. otherwise Larissa wouldn’t have any air 😂

90 Day Fiance is the best 😂😂😂. You have to get married on the 90th day for some reason.

No electronics allowed but they weren't taking peoples watches off of them. I didn't wear one but just about everyone else had one on. If I had thought about it I would have wore mine and recorded my fiances interview but my fiance didn't want me to even wear a watch lol.
 
I heard one interviewer tell the US Citizen Fiance to go sit down while he was interviewing his fiance. He wasn't even allowed to be there from the start of the interview. He said that if he needed to ask him a question he'd call him back over. Apparently every interviewer does it differently so you can't know what to expect until you walk up.
 
There are about 6-7 interviewers. One of them sounded like a US Marine drill SGT female, loud, hardcore asking questions, I could imagine the people in her line were probably pissing themselves considering the way people act when I am direct about something here in the Philippines lol. I was really hoping that my fiance didn't get in her line. I could hear everything she said to everyone who went into her line.
 
There was another female interviewer who was asking each person a lot of questions, not K1 interviews, but was very nice about it and even talking to their kids and being really nice while taking like 10-15 minutes for the interview but the ones I heard with her were different visa types. My fiance was glad we didn't get the females.
 
Then there were 3-4 men interviewers. The one my fiance got took her paper confirmation, then went to get her folder. When he came back he said basically OOPS I have to close my window and here go to the next window. I was thinking maybe something was wrong but I guess the guy just really needed to take his break.
 
The interview was short and simple. The male interviewer told me that I could stay there but the questions were for my fiance but he might also ask me something. He was very easy to deal with. He just asked her for her full name, birthdate, where did we meet, how long I had been in the Philippines and how many times had I visited. He asked her when did we get engaged, he was looking at our pictures. My fiance scanned 5-6 pictures together onto a plain paper copy from our printer and made 4-5 pages with different pictures. So he was able to see about 20+ pictures of us together and with her family. She wanted to bring our photo albums but that works just as well and actually that is what the GCP people looked at too. He also was asking about my divorce and wanted to see the paper but he already had it there in our folder. Nothing difficult. He said that she is approved. He also told us to call that number, which is useless. We already have our pickup place entered on the website. He said it'll take 2-4 weeks though. It better be 2 or less, not 4 lol.
 
The interviewer never asked for an I134. I was worried because I was filling out the I134 a few days earlier in our Hotel and put it somewhere but when we checked out to move to a different hotel I couldn't find it. So when we went in the Prescreener guy actually asked for it, which surprised me, and I told him I didn't have one because I lost it (my dog ate it lol) but here are all my W-2s from last year, and I also had end of year pay stubs for each of the past 3 years showing my weekly pay and total earnings for the year. Clearly I had the requirements covered even without working at all due to my military retired pay. I had a bank statement as well. He didn't want the bank statement or the end of year pay just the W2s. The interviewer never asked for anything more than he already had. I don't even know if he looked at any of that pay info.
 
We had the 830 appt. It doesn't seem to matter what time your appt is though. We showed up at 730, they were already letting the 830 people in and we were at the end of a 60 person line. I didn't want to show up too early and have to wait 2 extra hours but if we had shown up 30 minutes earlier we would have been like #20-30 in fi that line instead of at the end of it. We were out of there by 1015 anyway. Waited in line after prescreening for about 1 to 1.5 hours.
 
My fiance did the GCP yesterday and she said it was nothing like the horror stories we've been hearing. Either those people are gone or they don't act like that anymore.

One more thing we found out was about the NBI Police Clearance. Since we can hear all of the other interviews going on, one person had a police clearance that says "NO CRIMINAL RECORD" and to me that sounds fine. He's not a criminal. That's what we want, right? Well the interviewer didn't like it. It's supposed to say "NO RECORD ON FILE". This is what my fiances paper says.
 
The interviewer of the guy started asking all kind of question like do you have traffic tickets or something else? Well despite him answering NO to all of that the interviewer told him that he had to submit a new Police clearance with all of the info or "NO RECORD ON FILE".

That post is too outlandish for a response...so I won't respond.

Damn dude, try to erase the stamp in her passport from entering the US and try again. Tear out the page or something lol.
 
I don't why they'd let her enter just once if it's still before the 90 days is up but I do know that is the rule. Probably because if that wasn't the rule people would start using the K1 to smuggle or something else illegal, or the government thinks that.

You can not pick-up the visa at the embassy.   All visa packages are delivered by 2GO.   You can arrange for pickup at MOA (Mall of Asia), this is done on your dashboard in the Visa Delivery Section, this is the quickest way to receive your visa.

Yeah it's just like any other motorcycle in the US. It's easy to shift even barefoot but I'm sure you can try it at the dealership. It's also easier to do with the engine running and going down the road. It just clicks into place, 1st gear is the only one you really have to push, just like driving a clutch.

CFO appt system always schedules for morning, as you have already found .. repeatedly.    What they want is for everyone to show up to complete registration then it is "first come, first served" as to who gets the morning session and who has to come back for the afternoon session  .... Welcome to the Philippines.
 
 

Glad you got the scheduling issue handled .. does seem very strange for sure.
 
There should be no issue completing the medical Mon-Tues then the interview Wed.   Many others have done close scheduling without issue now that you hand carry the medical file to the interview 
 
CFO has offices in CEBU, Davao, Clark along with Manila now if any of those others are closer.

This can be a long explanation to what is going on but I won't bore you and give you what you need to do. Here is everything that is needed to process your visa through USEM. I have given a link to the sub forum for the Philippines and I invite you to go there now for all your questions as there are many of us there that have experience with USEM, SLEC, PSA and NBI.
 
Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get done. To smooth that trail for you I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.
 
Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course, it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps, he includes the what, when and why to complete the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

Next, you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like-minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread is processing through another country they would be hard-pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing.
 
 
Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.
 
So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.
 
Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.
 
Thanks

Passport must be valid for 6 months from the time of her flight to the USA.    Which you should have no issue there if your case file is at NVC.   Do you have your MNL# ?
 
Visa expires upon entry into the USA, legal status after that is the I-94 which is valid for 90 days (time frame for getting married   ) .  
 
 

I'm assuming that you already have the option to choose your embassy date, why would you choose to wait until December? You haven't seen each other for 2 years and don't want to get it over with? On top of this is the fact that you will very likely be questioned for not being together for 2 years. But you still want to wait? Is somebody having 2nd thoughts?
