K1 Tasks

[DWOODARD72 0]

Hi All,

I would like to think everyone who has responded to my past posts. This site has been great as a resource to get through the K1 visa process.

Yesterday, I received the official NOA2 letter in the mail. I called the NVC and was told that my application materials are on the way to Manila now. With help from a member of VJ I was able to get the tracking number of the application materials (there were only a few sent out yesterday and only one going to Manila). It will probably be about a week before everything reaches Manila but I wanted to know what could my fiancee and I could do to make things as smooth as possible in the mean time? I have gathered up the materials that she will need from me (employer/bank letter, tax returns, I-134, etc.) She is working on getting her clearances and should have all that done this week. Does any one know when she could schedule here medical examination? Does she have to wait until the materials arrive in Manila? Any insight you could provide would be great. We are trying to get as much done now as possible so that we will not feel rushed during the time of the interview. Thanks.

Prepare the I-134 a bit closer to interview time.

The embassy in Manila has a good website with lots of useful info.

YuAndDan,

Do you know exactly how long it takes for them to set up an interview time once they receive the materials? Thanks.

Most consulates set interview to about month or 2 after they receive returned materials from your instruction packet or a month after they send out the invitation packet, so you have 30-60 days to get your fiancee the I-134 after the embassy sends out the first packet to your fiancee.

You may want to check out the VJ timelines. Select K-1 advance, filter by country, and then sort by interview date.

YuAndDan,

Thanks for the information. I was planning to send my fiancee various supporting papers this week. I sounds like that I should wait until we get closer to the interview. I will see if I can check online to see what she needs for her packet.

Yes, wait until fiancee gets the instruction packet and then send the I-134 package to her, that way it will have recent financial evidence.

Ok, I think I should still send her the relationship proof materials I have now though. I've heard from someone that it might be a good idea to send a letter of intent to marry. I included this in my I-129F application. Do you think I need to provide another one for my fiancee's interview? I will be unable to go with her so I want her to be as prepared as possible. Thanks.

Yes you can send relationship package now, and then some additional stuff and YES an additional letter of intent when you send over the I-134 package to her.

You can address the letter of intent to Manila.

First off, BIG CONGRATS on your NOA2.

If you have called NVC and they've told you they mailed it yesterday, which would be March 31... it will reach USEM (US Embassy Manila) by friday.... you could call on Monday next week but since April 7 will be an official holiday here, you can try calling USEM Tuesday morning Manila time which would be Monday evening your time.

Here's a very informative article: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/news/brea...ticle_id=125277

We called today (yesterday US time) and we were asked for the:

1. MNL#### case number

2. full name of petitioner and beneficiary (Correct spelling),

3. email address of beneficiary (your fiancee's email coz they will be sending her the confirmation email that she could print out and bring to the medical)

4. full name of K2 visa applicant-- correct spelling (if she have kids)

5. telephone number of the petitioner and beneficiary

6. petitioner & beneficiary's address

7. birthdates

It will be cheaper for the USC to do the calling but it will be best if the two of you will be chatting online while you make the call so you could ask your fiancee directly if there will be any additional question that will be asked.

If ever you get interview schedule on May you can post your sched HERE so we could add you on the list of members having MAY schedule plus you could also check if there are other VJ members going for interview at USEM on the same date as yours.

Good luck to you. and God speed!

(there were only a few sent out yesterday and only one going to Manila).

Is that what they told you as I also received my NOA2 notice yesterday? You Vermont lot get priority for everything ;-)

So what exactly was it you did to get the tracking number?

Congrats to both of us of course!

Regholdsworth,

When did you get your NOA2? I received mine on 3/25 and the NVC received my materials on 3/27. When I called them yesterday, they said that they had completed the processing and they gave me my NVC case number. They stated that my packet to the embassy in Manila was mailed out using DHL the same day. I went to the following link on VJ: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...=nvc+processing There is a VJ member listing the packets being sent to the various embassies including the tracking numbers. I hope this helps.

I got my letter yesterday, I've not got it with me now to see what date they approved it.

So you haven't actually got a number, your just guessing that one to manila is yours because they said they were mailing that day.
