Hi VJers,

My fiance already received NOA 1 and NOA 2 in the mail and our case is already "ready" in CEAC. Are we still waiting on other letters to come in before he send documents to me in preparation for our interview?

And, do I need to wait for something on my end?

Any advise is much appreciated :)

No, use the MNL# on the NOA 2 and pay for the embassy and schedule an appt, then from there you can go for medical. Do not wait for anything from the USA, you may or may not receive it. Make sure your fiance makes copies of the NOA2 before he sends it to you.

I would have your fiance wait until he gets the NVC letter, then scan and email the NOA2 and NVC letter. This is faster, cheaper and surer (no chance of getting lost in transit). My understanding is that having the NVC letter may make things easier at St. Lukes.

Thank for for updating your timeline. (My Assistant, then edit/add my timeline.)

Just as long as you have your MNL case # you can go ahead pay and schedule your interview and medical and prepare all the necessary papers for the interview.

Although, with the medical, according to SLEC website they require the beneficiary to show the NVC letter, which states your MNL case #, to the security guard before entering their facility. However, I've read from some here that they didn't receive any NVC letter hence nothing to show to the guards. So what they did is that, they printed out a page from the CEAC website showing their MNL case #.

Hi VJers,

If you have the MNL case number, that is all you need to get the rest of the process going. Do not wait for a letter from the embassy, you may never get one.

Pay the visa fee at BPI, log on to https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/ and schedule your interview. Once you schedule your interview, you can print out a copy of the confirmation page and take that to St Lukes for your medical. Or if you have the letter from NVC you can use that as well, either or is fine.

Here is the embassy instruction letter for how to process your visa, and also what documents you need: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/1178798/feb2015/K1-K2%20Applicant%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_February%202015_.pdf
