I have 2 questions:

 

1. This may have already been answered but if it is I apologize b/c I couldn't find it.  Is it a requirement by the Philippine Embassy to have a covid 19 Vaccination to have the K1 visa interview? Or will a PCR test be sufficient? 

 

2. We received an email in early Jan 2022 from the NVC telling us they had forwarded our K1 visa file to the Philippine embassy. We have yet to receive a notice they have received it. What should we do now? We do have our MNL case# and invoice. Should we go ahead and complete the DS-160 without notice from the Embassy?

1. PCR test is not covid vaccination so no it will not be sufficient.

2. Yes I would.

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

What is your CEAC case status?  If it says "Ready", you may proceed with DS-160 submission, MRV fee payment, and interview scheduling.  No need to wait for any notification from the US embassy.

THE STATUS check link at the CEAC site says our MNL case number is invalid.. They just in January sent the file to Manila.. I checked the entry several times.. I have already started finished the DS-160 but have not yet submitted it. The ID number there starts with AA..... wonder if that is the AA number they mention on the site... however it's not submitted yet.. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you select the "Immigrant" option?  That's the correct option for checking K1 case status prior to visa interview.  Some time after interview, the case will switch over to "Non-immigrant".

NO, I didnt. They side-stepped my question regarding our visa file and its status and answered general ?s regarding the DS 160 telling me to call and hours of operation. At the moment now, my fiancés parents of 80+yrs old health has changed and she is requesting a few months for this to resolve.. that is very understandable so not sure at the moment how much longer my petition will survive at the Embassy. They are trying to find siblings to come to help so it will relieve her.
