I-129F November 2016 Filers - Part 2

[Michael & Madelle 75]

Hi to all. Hope everyone is doing good.

 

I have some questions concerning requirements for Medical Exam in Manila, Philippines.

 

I read from this forum that NVC no longer sends letter with case number but on the medical exam requirements it stated that the beneficiary needs to present it.

 

How do we get a letter with case number from NVC? ;

 

And, our case was updated and its ready. Should I be expecting a packet from Manila embassy regarding interview? 

 

TIA!

Hey!

 

In our case, we just presented the NVC letter that the petitioner received. An email from the NVC will suffice too. Just have him scan the mailed letter or forward you the email they sent him.

 

They also don't send packets anymore. Just be there with your other forms and your medical results and you'll be fine.

 

Good luck and hope this helped!

Hey everyone!

 

I had my consul interview earlier today and my visa got approved!

 

As long as the relationship between the two of you is real, there's really nothing to worry about, although I myself was worried the whole week before the interview and nervous AF when I was about to be called at the embassy.

 

Best wishes to everyone! We can do it!

 

"Someone" from this forum also got approved earlier! It was nice to be with a VJer during the process. ??????

It was a really short conversation. He only asked me two questions!

 

How we met, and what his job is.

 

It was weird because he grilled the other applicants before me. I think he just saw that I was comfortable talking to him and that I answered with detail. He didn't even ask for the evidences that I brought with me. ???

 

I was done with the C.O in less than 5 minutes. ??

@Anthony and Bobby is correct.

 

LETTER FROM NVC WITH MANILA NUMBER or CONFIRMATION EMAIL FROM SCHEDULING SLEC MEDICAL ONLINE

 

"When you get the letter from NVC stating the MNL #, scan and email a copy to your fiancee to bring to St. Luke's. Or simply forward the emmail from NVC with the MNL # to your finacee. Or once you schedule the interview online and get the confirmation email from the embassy, bring copies of it to SLEC for the medical.

Make sure to print three copies of the interview confirmation letter/page (if you scheduled online) as you will need two for St. Luke's and the other for the embassy."

Sharing with you info from Visa COnnections Philippines below if you have not gotten your MNL # yet: 

http://visaconnection-philippines.com/index.php/2-visa-process/2-nvc-k-1

------

NVC

 

Checking on your embassy case number:

 

It will take 7-10 days business for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2-5 business days for NVC to get your file in there system and get the MNL # from USEM. Call after 4:45 PM or early at 7:05 AM eastern time for shorter wait times. 

 

K-1 are processed like an immigrant visa, but are NOT immigrant visas, so they fall into a completely different class of their own.

 

1-603-334-0700 Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time) . For the shortest wait time, begin calling for the NVC Agent at 7:05 am EST M-F.

 

 For K-1 visa:  1-603-334-0888

 

 

What to Prepare Before Calling:

 

Just be sure that you know the following information before you call:

– Name and date of birth of the beneficiary

– Name and date of birth of the petitioner

– Receipt number from your NOA-2

 

Once connected to an Agent at NVC ask for your MNL#. Once you get your MNL# it's time to begin to be in control of your process for the next several steps. Don't be discourage if the NVC Agent, who answers your call, indicates that you should call back in 20 days because a MNL# has not be assigned. Thank him/her for their time and hang up and call the next day. Do this each day till you have been given your MNL#.

 

 

E-mail: NVCInquiry@state.gov

 

I highly recommend you email NVC for the MNL #, even if you call and get it, this will give you a correspondence from NVC with the MNL # for future reference. The email request for your MNL # is also a great way to track when your file is forwarded to USEM as NVC will not reply to the email until that time.

 

 

REQUIRED SECURITY INFORMATION:

 

You are required to provide the following security information with each inquiry to receive a case specific response:

 

* NVC Case Number or USCIS Receipt Number (Place in the subject line of the e-mail).

* Petitioner's name and date of birth.

( NOTE: If the visa petition is employment-based, include the employer's company/organization name instead of the petitioner's name and date of birth. )

* Principal Applicant's name and date of birth.

Hi AlohaDestiny,

Thank you for this very informative response. We already have our MNL case number. The case is ready according to tracker. However, we still have not received email from NVC yet. I guess we have to contact them through email. Thank you so much!
