DS-160 Question and Request for Extension Question

[chechebrick 0]

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions.

1. According to this website the Embassy in Manila does not mail out the package anymore as its all available on their site and they will send out an email. Is this true?

2. On the DS-160 does my fiancée have to list her valid Philippines passport number and if she is still waiting on her renewed one she wont be able to fill out yet online?

3. Our K1 expires at the end of November and she still has to go and get a police clearance at the Japanese embassy in Manila and she cannot file for that without her passport. Do you suggest requesting an extension and can I email the request to the embassy and attach an official letter to the email?

Thanks,

Brick

Hi everyone,

1. According to this website the Embassy in Manila does not mail out the package anymore as its all available on their site and they will send out an email. Is this true? YES BECAUSE PHILPOST IS SO UNRELIABLE THAT IT NEVER ARRIVES, DELAYING THE PROCESSING FOR THE APPLICANT

2. On the DS-160 does my fiancée have to list her valid Philippines passport number and if she is still waiting on her renewed one she wont be able to fill out yet online? YOU CAN UPDATE YOUR DS-160 WITH THE NEW PASSPORT NUMBER OR BRING IT ALONG TO THE INTERVIEW AND THE CO CAN UPDATE IT. FURTHER DETAILS HERE

3. Our K1 expires at the end of November and she still has to go and get a police clearance at the Japanese embassy in Manila and she cannot file for that without her passport. Do you suggest requesting an extension and can I email the request to the embassy and attach an official letter to the email? LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS BECAUSE IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. DOES SHE ALREADY HAVE A K-1 VISA, BECAUSE FROM YOUR QUESTION IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE DOES. BUT, IF SHE HAS NOT FILLED OUT THE DS-160 I ASSUME SHE IS STILL IN PROCESS. IF THE LATER IS TRUE THEN HER APPLICATION WILL BE EXTENED AUTOMATICALLY. BUT, IT'S BEST TO CALL USEM AND REQUEST THAT IT BE EXTENDED.

Thanks,

Brick

Yes we are still in the process but we do have our MNL number . To be on the safe side I will contact the embassy to request an extension.

That's a good idea. If you can, I agree you should.
