Mabuhay mga kababayan! Does someone has an idea how many days or weeks will it take until my fiancee will receive the visa packet from us embassy? I received a letter from NVC yesterday and was advised that our case will be forwarded to usem mla within a week. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

thanks, bmtrrbt! but how many more weeks shall i wait before I start to really worry or begin to freak out? one or two weeks?

you dont need to worry about it or even freak out..what you will need to do is to know what next step you will do to complete everything..or what requirements you should have so there wont be no delays.

its better to know in advance than to know when its already there..

God bless you.

USEM doesn't send a packet anymore. You/she has to call and make an interview appointment!

Hi joshifruiti...

Congratulations!!! Since you have already received a letter from the NVC, that means your K-1 Visa application is on it's way to the American Embassy in Manila. You should start calling the Embassy any day now to find out if they have received your application, and if they have entered it into their system yet. Once they have entered it into their system, you (the petitioner) should make an interview appointment.

The people you talk to at the Embassy are very nice and helpful. All you have to do is to tell them your MNLxxxxxx case number (you will find your case number on your NVC letter), your name, your fiancee's name, her address, and maybe a bit more information. Then they will tell you if they received your application and entered it into their system. If they have done so, you can go ahead and make the interview appointment.

You will want to have the beneficiary get her medical exam completed about a week before the interview.

Also, the petitioner will need to send the beneficiary his I-134 form and all of the supporting papers for the I-134. The beneficiary will need all of the I-134 papers at the interview.

The beneficiary needs to gather her papers too. She will need her CENOMAR, NBI, and other papers for the interview. Please read the above links carefully so you don't forget anything.

We are at the same place in the process that you are. It is really exciting! Good luck to all of us!
