Already with case and invoice number available but no hard copy

[delisyus 14]

Hi Everyone, congratulations to those who got their NOA1&2. Finally got through last night to check on our petition at NVC. Was given and case and invoice number. Should we wait till I get the Hard Copy from NVC from the mail. Or have her start the processes by going to BPI to pay for fee and have her call 3 days after to schedule interview?

Hiw far out is scheduling interview 3 weeks to a month?

Thanks in advance

Goodluck to everyone!

I highly recommend you email NVC for the MNL #, even if you call and get it, this will give you a correspondence from NVC with the MNL # for future reference. The email request for your MNL # is also a great way to track when your file is forwarded to USEM as NVC will not reply to the email until that time. E-mail: NVCInquiry@state.gov

REQUIRED SECURITY INFORMATION:

You are required to provide the following security information with each inquiry to receive a case specific response:

* NVC Case Number or USCIS Receipt Number (Place in the subject line of the e-mail).

* Petitioner's name and date of birth.

( NOTE: If the visa petition is employment-based, include the employer's company/organization name instead of the petitioner's name and date of birth. )

* Principal Applicant's name and date of birth.

--- Use this site to check When your file ships from NVC to USEM: State Dept. visa tracking: https://ceac.state.g...ker/Status.aspx?

Normally scheduling is only available for the next month from the month you are in. So right now May is only available and but around the 6th they release Junes scheduling.

Follow the twisting arrow below for step by step instructions for the rest of your process. Good luck to you guys.

It is best to schedule the interview 4-5 weeks out from receiving your MNL #, this will give adequate time for the case file to arrive at USEM and be processed and ready for the interview. Plus this gives plenty of time to gather documents and complete the medical.

Invoice number means nothing with the K-1.

Email NVC requesting the MNL # so you get documentation to use with the medical as quick as possible. You don't need the NVC letter to pay the visa fee at BPI, so get that done and move forward from there.

Thanks, Greenbaum and _Hank. I did tell my fiancee to go ahead and pay Fee at BPI today (Manila).

I am also in the process of finishing up our paperwork. My affidavit is complete. I just have question as to the Intent Letter to Marry? We did submit one of each when we turn in our 129F pow to USCIS. I have read that it needed to be update? (recent date?) Do I need to make it a formal letter with USEM (Manila) address and mine with the (Homeland security Address). Also to add to that, does both intent letters be reworded or just replicate originals with recent date on it.

thanks again.

This is one of those documents that they say they need but when you actually get there they never ask for it... so we recommend you just update your 129F letter with new date and sign it and bring it to the interview just in case. It does not have to be original but when you scan and send try and make it a good clean copy.

The Letter of Intent to Marry has not been asked for during the interview in 4 years at USEM now. The instructions letter still asks for evidence of clear intention to marry which is why most (myself included) still say to do new intent letters. If you do letters they can be duplicates of the first letters with original signatures.

 EVIDENCE OF A GENUINE ENGAGEMENT. You must prove to the consular officer that you have a genuine relationship with your petitioner and a clear intention to marry within 90 days of admission into the United States. In the past, successful applicants have submitted photographs, letters, e-mails, phone records, bank records, and remittance records as evidence supporting their relationships and intent to marry.
