CEAC ready?

[Joe & Bretts 0]

First off thank you all as Bretts & I would likely not have gotten as far as we have through this process as easily and painlessly thus far without VJ.  Most questions we have had we have found answers here here but now I have one I'm not finding (at least as of yet).  I emailed NVC requesting an update and received an email response (attached here) giving us our case number.  Last night I checked CEAC and it says ready (also attached) so our question is since everything else has been gathered and CEAC is ready and we have our case# can she do the medical at SLEC and schedule her interview or do we have to wait for a different letter from NVC to arrive?  Also curious but is it normal to have two case numbers (mnl########## 01 and an 02) when is just for her K1?  If we are best served waiting til a letter from NVC or she receives her packet from the US Embassy before we continue any further? 

 

Thank you

Joe

That's the letter you will get, nothing more from NVC will follow.   USEM will send nothing.   If you choose to wait it will be a long time.  Time to rock and roll.

I had an expedite. Once it went Ready I had already scheduled the interview right away. No need to wait for a letter. There was a letter that we got via email it just stated to bring in the original docs uploaded to ceac a bunch of X's and 1 upload request. I forgot to take in account that they would want the CENOMAR Advisory of Marriages. CEAC was done at the time, and she did her interview a few hours ago, and brought the two originals. They kept one, and said not to worry about uploading.

yes, but the same process of scheduling an appointment if a spousal visa is expedited you schedule your own appointment, and my understanding that K-1s schedule their own anyways. If it's ready.. go schedule it. 

edit:

otherwise as you did say.. wait and wait and wait for that letter or go for it. http://ustraveldocs.com/ph

Yes .. yes!!!

 

Your fiancee will need a copy of the NVC email as she need to print out two copies for SLEC.   The case status being READY means your case file is at the embassy ... it is ROCK n ROLL Time!!!

 

Here is a guide for the visa process in the Philippines    https://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/us-embassy-usem.html

 

Medical   https://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/medical---slec.html    No need to arrive early, in fact I suggest to arrive AFTER SLEC has been open for an hour or two at least

 

CFO   https://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/cfo.html    Get CFO-GCP done as soon as possible

 

 

I only see one MNL# listed ...   

 

As the saying goes ... You are burning daylight!

Not quite the same for scheduling an appt ... K-1 can schedule online, whereas expedite immigrant visa are to call only for scheduling.

We didn't call Hank. I used only ustraveldocs. My wife did the interview less than 12 hours ago. 

 

I got the interview checklist a day after I scheduled my wife's appointment. Then again it coincidentally was also a day after it was transfered from Manila. 

 

And the only thing that surprised us that before I went to bed it went from ready to issued.

You were able to use the online scheduling?  Every instruction I have been told of, by those expediting, instructs them to call the embassy .. that is great to know, I truly appreciate the information.   Yes they do state the case file must be at the embassy before scheduling .. but that is true for the K-1 also.

 

Congrats on the quick ISSUED status.      ( I see that fairly often with the IR/CR-1 visa )

 

Thanks again for the info

You're welcome. I honestly thought you were supposed to use the website or call but I prefer to do things myself. 

 

I ll message you screenshots via direct message when I get home from work. That way it's documented for your website.

I like the control of scheduling online also.
