USEM will not send any packets.  If you have your case number you can start everything.  Pay for the interview, schedule 12-24 hours later, submit your ds-160, do your medical exam.  There is no need to wait for anything from Manila.  

Expand  

Really? They (USEM manila) don't send anything at all? I thought there's this packet 3 that would actually tell me what requirements areally needed.

So I don't have to wait for that and just start on everything. To know that it's ready all I need is to track my case on ceac. 

And if possible do you have the list of all the requirements neede?

 

I'm really sorry I'm asking a lot of things . I just really need to make sure that everything goes well. And just really anxious. 

Thank you so much for the help. I really appreciate this.😊😊😊

USEM sent me an email about a week after they received the case, but there is no need to wait for them to contact you.  If you have your case number you can begin everything on your own.  Don't worry about asking questions, lots of people here to help.  No need to be anxious.  Good luck!

Congratulations!!! That was so fast! 

Did you actually try contacting the Embassy before you received Packet 3? Or did they contact you first?

Also, did the beneficiary receive an email or the petitioner? And did you contact NVC to give them beneficiary's email address?

Sorry for asking so many questions lol

Thanks in advance!!!

We were "ready" at the embassy on Friday, so fiance sent P3 before MTL asked for it that afternoon from HIS email address.

Today we got the reply back from the embassy saying "don't send this before we ask for it" around 1pm.

Around 3pm I got the email with P3 on MY email address, so we sent the info again from my email and are waiting for P4 now. Hoping to get it tomorrow!

We did contact NVC to update his email address as soon as CEAC said "At NVC" but they still sent P3 to me the petitioner.

 

Hope it helps!

Thanks a lot for the information!

Our timelines are very similar; however, we are still in the process of waiting for our Packet 3. Hopefully, you get your Packet 4 tomorrow and we get our Packet 3 tomorrow as well lol

We did not contact NVC though, but I sent them an email today asking to add my (beneficiary's) email address to our file and update my physical address. After the email was sent, I could see our "Case Last Updated" date changed to today's date. 

Thanks once again! We cannot wait for this process to be over lol

Petitioner (me) got it.  I believe there was an email contact option when you filed the petition, I believe that is information they use.  They may try to mail you the same letter but you know how sometimes the mail in the Philippines can be troublesome.

What’s the average time right now after getting NVC # to them sending it to the embassy?

Expand  

2-4 weeks sometime sooner. No one can predict with any confidence when your case will arrive at your Embassy. Keep checking CEAC for updates.

Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get down. To smooth that trail for your 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 completing the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

 

http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html

 

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 are processing through another country they would be hard pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

 

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-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.

 

https://ph.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/82/2016/08/K1-and-K2-Applicant-Interview-Preparation-Instructions-08112016-English-336KB.pdf

 

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

For whatsapp I believe you can download a desktop version and might be able to print chats from there more easily than from the app itself.

I tried that but it didn't work ugh I just wish they can accept the word document its straight from the app in color and everything.

We received our packet 3 today but I'm confused about this part it says "Chat logs from social media DO NOT PUT IN WORD DOCUMENT they must be printed directly from the site" How do you print whats app chats? I already made screen shots and put them in a word document but according to packet 3 thats not acceptable. Suggestions anyone? And people who have been approved in Nigeria did you print your whats app chats directly from the site?

Expand  

Open the WhatsApp settings and go to Chat Settings. Here, tap the option Backup Conversations. To export the history of an individual chat, tap and hold on the conversation or group and select Email conversation. Once the backup of the file is sent to your email, you can make the printout just like any other text file

Question pertaining to those that have filled out the DS-160 before they received their packet 3. One of the questions within the application is "did you receive and read the IMBRA pamphlet?" 

 

We haven't so we aren't going to complete the DS-160 until we receive it, is that something received in packet 3?
