Where and how can you pay the visa fee? I completed the DS 160 but didn't see a payment option. I went to the embassy site in Malawi and can't find any method either.

It says to pay in cash just before interview, so same day one they arrive. I found the info here :

Status just changed to from "In Transit" to "Ready" at Manila, PH

Question: The medical at SLEC says they need NVC letter -

Is this correct? I dont have a letter from the NVC. Is this downloadable somewhere? Or is this en route to the Beneficiary?

If I remember correctly once you print out the interview confirmation page it has the MNL number(Case number) on it. You don't need the actually letter nor will you actually receive one. I had my fiancee just bring in the confirmation of the DS160 and interview confirmation and that worked for them.

Thank you javadown2

I will start my DS160 and complete it online.. the manila tracking is that after you do your interview then you can track your visa??

Right now it's tracking your I-129F paperwork being sent to embassy, and yes eventually your visa I believe.

The consulate just told her she will receive the visa in 5 to 10 days (she is having sent via 2Go, to her local SM mall, yeah all Philippines stuff, haha). Last I checked CEAC it said ready and to check back in 2 days.

From what I've seen it should go from ready--to AP---to ready---to issued. I'm still trying to figure this out myself...

Yes, I've seen that, too (minus the second "Ready" step.) So, it's R > AP > I.
