Oh I can only imagine!! Our interview is two weeks from tomorrow and I just know we're gonna be refreshing the portal a few times a day and checking for emails starting the day after. LOL

I have seen many reports of interviews/approvals and in a lot of the cases the status never changes to "Being Actively Reviewed" and just goes straight to the "Case Approved" status. Hoping it comes for you soon!

Yeah, currently sitting at 17 months which is right around the time for Denver so hopefully soon!

NVC doesn't have it.... The Embassy in Manila does. They are processing the visa

Praying for a notice soon for you!! What field office covers your address?

Ok... What was the date of the last update on the status tracker? Next update will be "Application Received" which means that the file made it to the embassy's nonimmigrant visa section for processing. After that will be "Approved" and then "Issued". You should get it within a few days of when it is issued.

Put your case number that starts with MNL in here: https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

I believe it is too late to change from pickup to delivery - That has to be selected no later than the night before the interview. The delivery should only take a few days. What is the case status in CEAC Case Status Tracker right now?

Today's stats: July 6, 2025 23:15 MDT - Busy Holiday weekend so this will be a 5 day run November 2024 Filed I-485 Stats • Approved: 15,714 (+1,063) • Denied: 1,542 • FingerprintScheduled: 66 • InterviewCancelled: 618 • InterviewScheduled: 5,687 (-792) • Processing: 17,282 (-364) • Received: 473 • Rejected: 101 • RFE: 465 • Terminated: 219 • Withdrawal: 78 • Others: 21

Yes Commission on Filipinos Overseas - Guidance and Counseling Program. This is a counseling session that all Filipinos leaving the country on a Spousal or Fiancé(e) visa must complete before leaving the Philippines or they will not be allowed through Philippine Immigration exit inspection Yes the CFO has been requiring FBI Records check quite often lately. You can start the process here. Once I filled out the application online and then went to a post office nearby that offered the electronic fingerprinting, I had the report back from the FBI in about 3 hours. Go here: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks Same way you got the CENOMAR that's required for your Filipino fiancé(e) for the embassy interview - You go on the PSA website and request one in your name and have it shipped to your fiancé(e)

CFO has lately been requesting FBI Records Check from the US Citizen - They even recently requested a CENOMAR be generated for the US Citizen in the last couple of weeks

No… the government takes care of doing the background checks on the petitioner. However…. There have been lots of reports lately of the CFO counselors requiring an FBI records check from the petitioner at the CFO-GCP session. And just the other day, a counselor required a CENOMAR report on the US citizen petitioner at the counseling session

This is only needs to be filed in a K-1 Visa to AOS case if the couple did NOT marry within the 90 day validity of the K-1 visa. If they married within th 90 days. this form is not required. @narayan333 did you get married within the 90 day validity of the K-1 visa? Did you attorney file any other forms or just the I-130?

Thank you sir much!! We’re praying for a decision for you guys next week!! 😊

Thanks for sharing!! Jaycel an I have our interview in just under 3 weeks so this is nice to read 🙏

Great news!!

Yes get it… there has been many counselors asking for it recently. We even just had a post from a member where they made his fiancée get a CENOMAR on him

And I don't know what you would give them for a CENOMAR on a US Citizen since there is no such thing

Oh jeez... ok then they should let her know when they accept it and send her the email with the certificate

When she goes to fly out from the Philippines to the US, the Philippine Immigration officer will request it when she presents her passport at exit control.

She should have got the email at the end of the session after she filled out the survey

From what I've seen, the tracking numbers almost never show in the case status until well after it's delivered and yes it will come in the same Red & White Priority mail envelope. Keep an eye on your informed delivery
