Hi everyone, we received the Notice from NVC that they sent the papers to US Embassy in Manila. How long will it take to get the packet? Do we need to wait the packet before scheduling an interview and medical? Please someone help me...

How did you receive the notice? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks. I'm waiting for some kind of notification as well.

You can call the NVC to get your case # and find out if has been sent to your consulate yet or not. NVC does send a hard copy letter out too.

Once you know the case # from NVC (starts with MNL)

don't wait for squat.

Instead, find Hank_ 's handy-dandy, neeto-keen (yet spiffy) Guide to SuperFast K-1 Processing at Manila IV,

and STUDY IT !

It's chock full of all you need, and it's DENSE - so once you find it, be prepared to spend 2 days studying it, then going back and referencing it as you move through the processes of payment, medical, appointment self-scheduling, NFO, NBI, Cenomar, etc.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Thanks for the response. One more thing. The approval notice is supposed to be good for 4 months if I'm not mistaken. Mine says 7/22/13-10/22/13. It also states that it was sent to the consulate listed. These two things have me a bit baffled. Pleas shed some light if u can.

Thanks

They all go through the NVC first. The NVC assigns the case number and sends it onto the appropriate consulate. Yes, the petition approval is good for 4 months. That is usually enough time to have the K-1 interview or at least scheduled, but the consulate can extend the expiration date if needed.
