Can anyone help on how to ask a question on a country's portal?

Thanks in advance!

You want to ask someone at the Embassy a question?

I'm not quite sure what it is your trying to do. Sorry.

Go to the sub-forum that you want to start a new topic in and use the blue box in the upper right hand corner. It will say "start new topic" select it and then follow the simple prompts to post your topic.

Update: CFO complete. Fyi for Philippines. Even tho you're holding your approved visa and already scheduled for the CFO please keep in mind that before you purchase your plane ticket there's still a possibility that you might be delayed and not make that flight. My Fiancée told me that couple of the k1 applicants with approved visas got sent home and need to return on a later date due to divorce paperwork discrepancy.

Good luck to all who are still in the process and congrats to all who have passed everything!

You'll be fine. Just be sure to have your divorce papers with her. That she knows about the divorce and why it happened. That will be a question and she better have a good solid answer. She needs to be confident. She needs to be truthful and she needs to look the interviewer in the eyes when answering. This interview will be much harder than then USEM was.

If she is timid, there is a good change you will "loose the fight" as they will drill her like a marine sergeant. Yes, they can decide not give her a CFO certificate until such time that she can convince another interviewer that she wants this.

Don't worry, if she does all this she will pass. So relax and take a deep breath..

Back up plan is to either return to Manila CFO and see another interview and try again OR go to CEBU where they seem to be more relaxed.

And :thumbs: YW (from your early thank you)

Your approved. Now you can start to gather additional documents and start your DS160 but save it and not submit it till you have your MNL# (case number). Further steps are listed on my website. Link is below at the red twisting arrow.
