Taipei or Manila?

[Ben & Anthonette 1]

My fiance is citizen of the Philippines. When we filed K1 (July 2017) she was living and working in Taiwan. In October 2017, she moves back to the Philippines. In October 2017, I called and sent letter to USCIS about her now living in the Philippines. We finally got NOA2 February 2018. I contacted NVC to check on this, but they already sent packet to Taipei.

 

I have seen that I can contact US Embassy in Manila and request a transfer. Obviously we would prefer to do the remaining process in Manila, instead of me flying her to Taipei, but we also want to get her to US as soon as possible.

 

Does anyone know how long a transfer can take? I read an old post from a few years ago with Embassies in the Middle East, it can take 6 weeks to transfer to Manila. Wondering if it is quicker now.

 

Also, does anyone know if she can do medical exam in Manila with a TAI case number?

 

Thank you for any response.

Thank you for your reply. I wish we can finish in Manila, but with your response you helped us decide to go through Taipei. We are looking for the easiest way now.

Manila is a breeze and only a few questions usually for K1 approval, I would take that into account
