My Filipina fiancee will be able to pick up her k1 visa either by the end of next week or possibly the week after. The visa is in final processing. I have 2 questions about this. Will she receive any kind of notification that her visa is ready to be picked up? And how long will she have to pick it up? Her visa is going to be taken to the lbc residence in makati city in Manila. That is where I choose at the time I scheduled her interview to have it picked up. Will she receive an email or something that her visa and passport are ready to be picked up? I ask how long will they give her to pick up because she has to get a flight to Manila from her province to pick her passport and visa up because again at the time I scheduled her interview I was under the impression that it wasn't going to take long for her to be able to pick it up but of course I found out that wasn't the case and I thought she would stay in Manila until then. So I am wondering how much time will they give her to pick up her visa packet because it might be a day or two before she can get a flight to Manila.

No one can give you an exact time frame for how long it takes for the passport to arrive or how long they will hold it. They should have given your fiance a number or sent her a text about delivery. the best bet is to call LBC directly and ask:

My Filipina fiancee did in fact get a text from the lbc to notify her that her visa is ready to pick up. She received the text on Saturday and she has until the end of the day on Wednesday to pick up. She is flying to Manila on Tuesday evening and that will give her plenty of time to do the pick up. She will then work on the cfo seminar while she is in Manila. I'm hoping she will be able to have that done by the end of next week if possible. But at least she will have her visa in hand. I told her I would help with scheduling the cfo seminar if she needs me to but I will see if she can do it on her own first.
