How do you Apply for an Visa Appointment.

[Glenn n Bryan 0]

Hello just wondering, is there an instruction on how to apply to schedule a visa interview online?

Thank you

The Visa Application envelope [Packet 3, to use the vernacular] the beneficiary recieved should have contained detailed instructions on how to complete the visa application process and schedule an interview. This sort of thing varies radically from country to country, so you might want to the the PI regional sub-forum. The website for the specific US Consulate/Embassy may also have the instructions.

Looking at your timeline, it looks Manila may only have just received the petition, so you two probably don't have your Packet 3 yet. Don't worry, the beneficiary should get it in the mail within a few weeks. It will have detailed instructions.

Here is a link, not much specific info about scheduling procedure.

I am told they no longer send out the packet 3. I never received anything in the mail from the embassy.

I was told this link is the package.

Link to the Revised K1 Instruction Packet:

That is correct, the US Embassy in Manila does not send out a packet. Everything you need is on their WEB site, it even states on the web site that they no longer send out "packet 3"...

I can't help you on instruction on setting up your interview as they just changed to a on line scheduling system. From what I have read it does not sound to hard to do.

Moving from K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures to US Embassy and Consulate discussion, due to question being regionally specific.

I think it was Thunderstruck who wrote this up, forgot I had it. ONLINE SCHEDULING PROCESS:

To log in:

a) the beneficiary's Passport number

b) the case number from the letter you received from the embassy saying you may schedule an interview (MNL000000000)

c) the beneficiary's Date of Birth

d) A password of your choosing (Password requirements)

e) Enter the same password again to confirm

f) Enter the security code as you see it in the image

g) click the Proceed Button

REMEMBER YOUR PASSWORD! YOU NEED IT TO OPEN THE APPOINTMENT LETTER THAT IS GENERATED BY THIS WEB SITE!

Now it asks for more information about your case. i don;t remember exactly the layout but there are a few pages you navigate through. They ask this:

a) Beneficiary's first and last name

b) Beneficiary's complete mailing address

c) Beneficiary's phone number(s)

d) Beneficiary's Nationality

e) Beneficiary's current country of residence

f) Where beneficiary's passport was issued, the date it was issued and the expiration date

Make sure and choose the K-Visa Appointment Scheduling link not another one

Do NOT choose “Save and Exit” – Continue on to choosing your appointment

You are confirmed that your interview has been scheduled. There is a link to click on to see the appointment letter that you need to print. Clicking the link will take you to another page that has a big button to download the PDF file containing the one page letter with:

A) Your UID and a bar code

B) Beneficiary's name passport number and address

C) The date and time of the appointment

The letter is called at the top:

Immigration Address Confirmation Sheet

MANILA

There is a US Department of State emblem at the top.
