Petitioned approved, waiting from NVC response

I have heard about the shortcut as well, once you have your case number......however where you take the medical exam in manila it clearly states bringing copies of your embassy invitation/instruction letter with you??????

For K-1ers:

St. Lukes will accept the Embassy interview appointment confirmation printout from when you make an online appointment.

Or, if you make an interview appointment through the call center, St. Lukes will accept the confirmation email.

They have also accepted the NVC notice because it has your MNL case number on it.

Also, there have been many reports over the years that St. Lukes has accepted MNL case numbers verbally.

Some one correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the K-1 just gets forwarded to the consulate after you call them and they issue the case number. I think the shortcuts your speaking of are for CR1/IR1 which don't work anymore because the forms are now submitted electronically.

Just give the NVC a call on Monday and ask about your case. Phone 603-334-0700.

The information I'm offering in this thread is specific to K-1ers who are going through the U.S. Embassy Manila. Other Embassies / Consulates may have different procedures.
