I-129F May 2017 Filers

[smilei 381]

Hello fellow Philippine folks, I have this note saved on my phone for a while now, thought I'd share this with you guys. I gathered this info from everywhere like the travel state website, Facebook and VJ forums. Feel free to correct if something's wrong and add some of what you've researched as well:

 

After NOA2 wait for 10-12 days and you can start calling NVC for your case number.

NVC contact number: (603) 334-0700 Press 1 for English and choose option 7, 5, or 2, it worked for most people here on VJ. You can call them Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. EST to 12:00 midnight EST.

 

 If you got the case number which started MNL followed by 10 digit numbers, click immigrant and enter the case number, you can check it at:

ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

 After checking, make sure the status of your visa are:

 AT NVC - meaning your papers still sitting at their office

IN TRANSIT - meaning your papers are on the way to USEM

READY - your papers already received by the USEM

 

(Others have paid already once they got their case number, some waited for the READY status to appear on the CEAC tracker )

You can start paying your visa fee at Bank of the Philippine Islands. Bring your MRV together with your passport and $265 but you are going to pay it in Philippine peso .

 MRV slip:

 http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/pmisdepositslip.htm?amount=265&country=philippines

For you to be able to have it one bond paper:

Right click and select ALL, right click and select COPY, go to MS WORD, right click PASTE, select ALL and adjust the font size.

Wait for 4-6hrs to validate your receipt, sometimes it takes longer up to 24 hrs, just be patient.

 

You can set your medical at:

 http://www.slec.ph/

 SLEC increased the fee starting Oct 1..

 Php 17,025.00 for adults

14 years old below is Php 9,583.00.

 

 After your medical or whenever you want, you can accomplish the DS160 here..

 https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx

 

Schedule your interview over here:

If you wish to attend your CFO seminar while waiting for your interview/medical or once you have your visa, set your appointment at:

 http://gcp-appointment.cfo.gov.ph/

 Remember that no more walk in allowed at CFO Manila and Cebu offices, however they still accept walk ins at Pampanga office.

Sorry for interrupting, I was trying to enter DS-160, I could enter some information, but it needs case number really!! Lol 

 

Just can’t wait for Noa2!! 

It just needs your WAC # not the NVC number.

Ok. I'm finally calm lol

guys, you think my fiance calling uscis and talking to a tier 1 had anything to do with the website updating our status literally 5 minutes after? Cause someone else here called and got the status updated really fast after that as well.

 

🤔 that was a big coincidence

I'm not sure that Tier 1 has ability to update. They usually just say "I see what you see".  They can just look. Tier 2 can probably update the system. The important thing is you got approved. Lots of activity today and hoping for more tomorrow.
