NOA1- 5/18
NOA2 - 7/18
Medical Exam at Saint Luke's - 8/9-10
Interview - 8/17

I hope we don't get a 221g, my fiancé is deployed somewhere in the Middle East and the NVC letter hasn't reached his PO BOX yet.

Our lawyer said, it wouldn't be a problem going to the interview without the NVC letter. Any experience?

Another query: I'm concerned about our age gap. I'm the female, 23 years old, and I'm 2 years his senior. Lawyer says, it's not a big deal. Should I stop worrying?

*Pre interview jitters*

Any advice would be very beneficial. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am so happy to see how fast many cases are moving to interviews!

I am myself kinda behind on the process. I got RFE for one unchecked box on the petition and couldn't send a response fast because I was actually abroad with my fiance.

Now that I am back to the US I looked at the papers.

Do I need to remove page to where they just explain what an rfe is? Also I am confused with the envelope is it pre-paid or not? Do you just put a regular stanp or are there something I can do for it to be delivered faster than through regular mail box?

[MsCompE 50]

Im on the same boat. My fiance didnt got the NVC letter and my interview schedule is on Aug 25. But! He got the letter of eligibility addressed to me via e-mail.

I will be traveling to Manila soon from Cebu. Am already worried about the flood.

[Shana1705 2]

Saaame! We're scheduled for the 8th but hoping for earlier.

And @shana1705 -- SO GLAD YOU FINALLY GOT YOUR NOA2!!! :) You'll be there by Thanksgiving, I just know it. And did I see that you guys are in North Cackalacky, too?! We're in Raleigh/Durham.

Thank you!! I'm here now actually, going back to the U.K. On Tuesday I couldn't stay away ha ha I'm too excited!! Waiting for NVC to receive the paperwork and on with the next steps now. I feel a massive weight lifted already ? Good luck to you guys ?

Hi guys, for any Londoners already done their interview, did any of you take children with you? I don't know whether I should take mine or leave them in school that day? I know we all have to attend the medical but don't know whether to take them to the interview or not? Congratulations to all who have their visas already!! I'm so happy for you all ?

Hi All,

Hi!

I went for my medical examination at Saint Luke's Extension Clinic on August 9-10. The guards at the entrance asked for the following:

1. Original Passport;

2. 1 Photocopy of passport biographic page, portrait view, not enlarged;

3. Letter from the NVC stating that your papers has been sent to the consulate (I don't have this, so I brought a printed screen shot of the NVC "case ready" status, accepted without problems);

4. 4 US Passport photos, name must be written at the back without smears;

5. Interview appointment confirmation letter ( If available);

6. Payment: PHP 11,300; and

7. SLEC online registration form original and photocopy.

Good luck!

I'm interviewing in 2 days.

Fiance emailed me 2 letters that I will be bringing along: One that explains to the consular officer why I do not have an NVC letter (if they ever ask for it) and another from his Commanding Officer confirming that he is deployed.

Would this suffice? I can't get a hold of our lawyer and I'm severely worried.

Help?

They received my RFE reply on July 29th. When should I expect (hopefully) our NOA2?

The RFE was simply because I forgot to check yes or no in terms of committing a crime.

Starting to get down. We thought we would have it by now.

Also, when can I inquire? Or does the 5 month time get pushed back because of the RFE?
