Our case has been READY for a long time, and we still have not had the interview yet.  So, you don’t need packet 3?

We are not waiting for packet 3.  I'm following this guide http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html  

I believe packet 3 contains this letter. https://ph.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/82/2016/08/K1-and-K2-Applicant-Interview-Preparation-Instructions-08112016-English-336KB.pdf

 

I have read that many do not receive their packet 3 until after they have attended interview.  We scheduled as soon as the status here https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx changed to "Ready"

Just thought I would provide update of our status

We received NOA2 notice on July 27th.   I called NVC 3 weeks later and they provided the NVC (MNL) number.  Didn't have to say why I was calling.  They asked for WAC number and then asked identification info of petitioner and beneficiary. 

At that point I was able to check status at https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx  .  Status at that point was "At NVC".   About week later received email notice that case was being sent to Embassy in Manila.  Status changed to "In Transit".  A few days later the status changed a few days later to "Ready".

Junrey's will have medical exam on  9/10 - 11 and interview is scheduled 09/24 at 6:10am.  I'm flying to Manila to attend the interview with him.  Getting closer.

 

 

Congratulations!  So happy to see things are moving through smoothly for you guys.  I hope we will have the same luck.

The beginning of the year they changed from "sometimes sending P3" to now it's on the website and we will email you if we have your address. BUT, you are exactly right - for the Philippines you do not have to wait for any correspondence from USEM. Do just as you are.

I don't know if you have this information or not but here it is just the same.

 

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 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.

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.

Wait...Really?  

Wow!  So, you don’t have to wait for packet 3?  Is this true?

Hello Guys Please help. Yesterday our case was Ready in Ceac Site. Per reading here on VJ that means that's our cue that interview can be done asap. So next day, my fiance went to USEM Manila to do the interview, he was told that he needs the EMAIL saying he can go thru the interview. Meaning they're waiting for the physical case that was sent by NVC. I thought they end it electronically ? Please clarify,,

Wait did your fiancé just show up at the embassy without an interview? Hmmm you must have misunderstood. You still have to apply online for ds160 and register on the other website and pay fee before scheduling interview. Don’t forget the medical!!

 

It says ready because it’s ready for you to take the next steps. The interview is not the next step. Please read your country portal and follow directions. If there arents any I will gladly help you if need be.

Thank you dear!! I don't think you need to wait for it, maybe you can download it from here depending on your country. It may never come! Some experienced that 😕

From another VJ member who had firsthand knowledge provided this information.

 

GUZ takes on average 30 days to deliver P3, it is not electronic.

I can tell you that P3 for GUZ is only 4 line items

1. DS-160 Confirmation Page

2. Copy of Passport Personal Page

3. 2 Passport style photos White Background, Well Lit, 50mm x 50mm

4. Return the P3 instructions page

 

#4 is what prevents people in China from getting a head start, they want the instructions page mailed back with the requested documents.

 

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-iv-visaapplyinfo.asp#KVisaPetitions

 

U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou when it is time to schedule an interview. K visa applicants will be notified by the U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou when it is time to schedule an interview.

 

An individual with an approved petition and a priority date that is current for processing (when applicable) is eligible to apply for an immigrant visa or K nonimmigrant visa. Immigrant visa applicants will be notified by either the National Visa Center (NVC)

 

And don't forget the help from other members here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/94-china/

 

And the Portal here on VJ for processing in China and what to expect

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=China&cty=Guangzhou

 

 or the http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-iv-visaapplyinfo.asp

 

Don't waste time while you're waiting for P3, complete DS-160 and print confirmation page. Since you are from China(I provided your website for you below), go to the 2nd link below and click immigrant to register under K1 visa. After you register and enter info it should be clear on how to pay fee, make sure you print Bank deposit slip. just follow directions under Nonimmigrant Visa, but make sure when you register K1 is under Immigrant Visa.

 

Directions go to http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-niv-visaapply.asp

 

Register(Create Account) https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=China After you register make sure to choose K1 visa under Immigrant, it wasn't an option for me under non-immigrant.

 

This is a website that is dedicated to those who are processing a visa from the US Embassy in China. I personally don't have a lot of knowledge so "buyer be where".
