First off, we did DCF in Manila on August 29th. Our file stayed in Manila and never went anywhere but here, and very fast to process. It did not go to the NVC. It went from USCIS in Manila, US Embassy, right io the Immigrant Visa Section in Manila, US Embassy. After completing the online appointment for my wife, one of the documents it says to bring is the CEAC Confirmation Letter. I have researched this on VJ and I know that this is DS-160, the Consular Electronic Application Center confirmation. However, it appears to be for non immigrant visa only. My wife is applying for CR1 immigrant visa. Just want to clarify if this is needed or not for the CR1 interview. I have seen some people say on VJ say it is NOT needed for CR1. Any info on this will be helpful.

jut called us embassy for the same inquiry they said disregard it since that is for non immigrant visa only.. :)

Great! Thanks for that, I too have try to call IV MAnila, but I think the phone is in a closet somewhere where it's only answered oncea day! It's taken me hours to get an answer at the two extensions when I called before regarding other things.

Thanks for your reply and info!
