Hello i just received notice “

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé (e)’s/spouse’s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Manila, Philippines. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.

 

Next steps:

Go to our website http://nvc.state.gov/k1 to learn how to apply for a K visa and prepare for the visa interview.

If you wait for some communication from Manila you will be waiting for a decade.  Everything is posted online.  Find, read and follow.  The quicker you do the quicker it will be over

If your notification is that they received your petition, the next step is getting your MNL case number.  It will be at NVC for anywhere between a few weeks to a few months before it gets sent to Manila.  Go to the NVC public inquiry form Public Inquiry Form (state.gov) and submit your case number request.  Do this weekly until you get the case number.

 

Once you have your case number, you can fill out the DS-160.

Go to the Philippines regional forum for any questions in regards to the Manila process

The Manila process is applicant directed.  If you do nothing then nothing will happen.  Fill out the DS160, pay the MRV fee and then schedule the interview
