Hahah glad I'm not alone! How long did that take to arrive?

5 days later total, so pretty quick! Especially for a holiday weekend.  Paper was also dated as approved 1 day earlier than what the website says  

[George & Karol 23]

We were Approved!!

I still can't believe what I'm seeing!! 

Old: April 13

New: April 18

 

We were approved 10/05/2018. I was only using the old website and it was never updated. Just checked the new one and I could not believe what I saw. Approved 5 days ago! So happy!

I don’t know but @Greenbaum may be able to help.

[Bob & Karla 162]

Ohhhhh we are exactly those days and not approval yet... Ugh. Happy for you both. Many blessings!

@Cmptrsdeal I was just thinking the same thing, or to create a new thread for it, so it gets more exposure.

Medical and Interview fees are required for both and both must attend the interview at USEM together. You need to be over in the sub-forum for the Philippines to ask Embassy specific questions. How is someone from Germany, UK or Sweden have any idea what is required in the Philippines. It would be like asking you if you knew what the requirements were for Togo. I'm going to give you the link and many more links to information to help you with the process for USEM.

 

Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get done. To smooth that trail for you I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course, it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps, he includes the what, when and why to complete the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

Next, you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like-minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread is processing through another country they would be hard-pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/the-interview/

 

Here is the Packet 3 letter.

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing

Those kind of questions are best asked in your sub-forum for your region or country. Go up to the top of this page, select "forums" and scroll down 3/4 of the page and you'll find sub-forums. That's where the experts are for your area.

Greenbaum's Tips: If you select your flag in your profile from the left column you'll land on your country's profile page. Here there are many tools from which you can select that will answer many of your questions. 

 

Select Consulate information to get an idea of what is required for your Embassy interview.

Select Consulate Reviews to learn about the experiences of others who had their interview at your Embassy.

Select Visa Timelines to follow others from your country who also are applying. A good way to establish a "buddy system" to help with questions.

Select K-1 Timelines when you scroll down about 50% of the page and on the left side, you will see this option. This will show you the progress of 12 other timelines that are close to you from your country. If you scroll down a little further you will see a "spreadsheet" showing valuable information. Select to follow those 12 and get updates whenever their files are updated. Gives you a good idea where you are in comparison to others.

Select Immigration Timelines at the top from the blue ribbon that stretches across the page. Here you can follow, much like the K-1 timeline tip I gave above but now you are looking at those from other countries that are close to your timeline.
