    E-mail or call PH Embassy and have them update it. See if you can contact ASC at  (+63) 2 8548-8223 or (+63) 2 7792-8988.

    DaisyJane reacted to top_secret in DS-160 question for Filipino with 2 first name and a different Middle Name (Mother's Last Name), should I put it all on Given name?   
    Yea, the US doesn't really have an equivalent to Filipino middle names, so it all goes as given names.  Your example is correct.

    DaisyJane reacted to IWander in Case ready but no NVC welcome letter (merged)   
    There is no NVC welcome letter for a K1, the only communication you will receive from NVC is an email stating that the petition is in transit to the consulate.  Since you have been provided the case number and the case is in READY status then proceed.  You are inherently delaying your process by waiting for something you don't need.

    All worked out. We had help from another forum member from here. We prepared everything through finding info online and we just got married today!

    DaisyJane got a reaction from PokuPoku in NVC K1-FTP Process for Philippines: DS-160, Visa Fee, and Timeline Questions   
    Hey everyone,
     
    I just received my NVC K1-FTP on May 7th, and I'm eager to move forward with the process. I've heard some conflicting information about when to fill out the DS-160 form, so I wanted to clarify a few things.
    Firstly, I checked the status of my case with the provided case number on CEAC, and it currently shows as "in transit." My understanding is that I can start filling out the DS-160 form now, but I shouldn't submit it until my case status changes to "case ready." Is that correct?
     
    Another question I have is regarding the visa fee payment. Should I pay it now while my case is still "in transit," or should I wait until it's "case ready" before paying the fee and scheduling the interview?
    Additionally, for those who have gone through the process for the Philippines, I'm curious about the typical timeframe from "in transit" to "case ready." Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated.

    DaisyJane reacted to J.M. in How long is the wait time for the interview when the case already arrived at the beneficiary's home country (2024)   
    For K-1, your case will go to NVC after NOA2.  There is no way to track it.  It can take a week to a couple of months for NVC to receive it.  Mine took 2.5 months to get there.  Others, with the same NOA2, got there in a week.  Once it is at NVC, they will assign an MNL case number and forward it to Manila.  That will happen 1-3 weeks after NVC officially receives it.  You are looking at 1-3 months total for NVC to receive it, assign the case number and send it to Manila.  You should request your case status from NVC using the public inquiry form (online) starting a couple of weeks after NOA2 and weekly thereafter until they give you the case number.  You can Google NVC public inquiry form to find it.
     
    Once you have the case number, you are in charge of the rest of the process.  Do not wait for the Manila embassy to prompt or guide you.  They will not.  With the case number, you can fill out and pay for your DS-160, then schedule your interview, then schedule your medical appointment once you know your interview date.  After all that is complete, you will schedule CFO, which will be the last thing needed before departure.
     
    The time between Manila receiving your case and completion is mostly dependent on how quickly YOU move through the process.  Expect some delay to get an embassy appointment, but nothing extreme.  It should be no problem to complete everything in the Philippines in 1.5 to 2 months.  That's allowing 1 month to get an interview appointment, a week to get passport back, and a week to complete CFO.  A lot of it depends on how far away your fiancée is from Manila.  If she's close, you can complete things pretty quickly.  If she has to travel a lot to get there, that adds time because you have to leave extra time to arrange travel.
     
    My guesstimate would be 3-4 months from NOA2 until ready for departure.  There are always variables.  It could be quicker or take longer.

    DaisyJane reacted to Eddie101 in QUESTION ON FILLING OUT THE I-129F FORM [merged threads x3]   
    If I look at the current version of I-129F it would be page 2, part 1, Item 17 (and following) as you extend there.
    We had the same and wrote down the employer's details just like you did.
    Please make sure you only list employers of the last 5 years.

    That's too bad as the spousal visa is far superior, but it is what it is.
    I would include a few across the entire time frame you have been in an LDR.
    Don't worry too much about social media posts.  There are a lot of folks that do not use that much.  As to photos, I would focus more on 6-12 or so of the time you were physically together.  I am not sure I would go with love letters, you can add some of that in the letter each of you need to submit describing the relationship and the intention to get married with a K1.
    Sure, putting them chronologically makes sense.  I would put newest to oldest, but the order is not that important.
     
    Good Luck!

    ~~ Topic moved from K1 Progress Reports to Process ~~
     
    Please only rely on the official source which in this case is USCIS.gov. Financial documents are not to be submitted with I-129f, they are to be brought by the beneficiary to the interview.

    They are wrong.  I suggest you read and study the guides here on Visa Journey for accurate information.  Good luck.

    I included mine when filing for my Husband for the I-129F but it was for the part 2/Getting NOA2, see first link below. He also kept copies for interview and as a copy of the whole document submitted.
    Here are some links if you wish to look over on VJ!
