Hello Everyone here!!

Hope someone can help me here,especially to those applying fiancé visa here in Hk but a citizen of the Philippines. We received our Noa2 last October 28,so,I read from some members here that they started gathering their documents without a letter yet from Embassy.Like,getting police clearance and cenomar. My fiance and I talked,and He told me, that we need to wait a letter first from Hk embassy before I went to police to have my police clearance, and apply online getting my police clearance in Philippines as well,my cenomar.I asked this question because, I have only one day off each week, so if possible I want to do it early if I have available time.Any ideas to share with me, I will appreciate it.Thank you guys!God bless us all.

yes Take your noa2 to Phil consulate by the time they get police clearance they will have your papers at the US consulate.It took about 4-5 weeks to recieve packet from Consulate with check list in. Medical needs to be done before interview as well, information is in packet there's two dr offices We went to the one in Central 240 dollars US took about half hour. Myrna had family process papers in Philippines for her you go to Phil consulate get forms to start processing The cenomar i did online it cost 25 dollars payed with debit card 18 dollars to express mail dont have to though but has to be sent directly to consulate they wont schedual interview without it. Make sure you practice for interview they ask really crazy questions to try to rattle you. The US consulate has an on line inquiry form you can ask questions there good at getting back to you with answers usually a day or two

You can start to process your birth certificate now and cenomar but you have to wait for the packet from US consulate here in HK for your NBI clearance and police clearance . It will take 45 days to get your packet from US consulate after you got approved from USCIS. You cannot process NBI from Philippine consulate and police clearance here in HK without the letter from US consulate..I just got approved last month..if you have any questions just PM me:)

Wait for the letter from US consulate, you cannot process your NBI clearance and police clearance here in HK without it.
