60 Day Letter from NVC

[Hoofie Puppet 2]

Got this in my email today.  I guess this means it won't be much longer until I can start scheduling things?  (I omitted my MNL number, FYI):

 

 

To whom it concerns:
 

This notice is to inform you that NVC is currently holding your approved Form I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiance(e)), and it has been at least 60 days since we received it from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Your case number is MNL----------------.

 

Where local conditions and restrictions allow, some embassies and consulates have resumed processing a limited visa workload, including K-1 nonimmigrant visa applications. For embassies and consulates that were unable to resume processing their visa workload, NVC is holding your approved Form I-129F. We cannot predict when routine visa services will resume, and we cannot guarantee or predict when your case will be sent to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General in Manila. When NVC does forward your case, you will receive another notification.
 

Approved Forms I-129F have a 120-day expiration date from the date of approval by USCIS. Once your designated embassy or consulate resumes normal operations, a consular officer will revalidate your petition for another 120 days. You do not need to take any action for this revalidation to happen, though you may need to provide evidence that you still qualify for the K-1 nonimmigrant visa. For the most up-to-date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General's operating status, visit their website at https://usembassy.gov.
 

Thank you for your patience.

 

Sincerely,
National Visa Center Director

Is your case status "Ready".  If so, you proceed with payment, DS-160, medical and schedule the interview.  US Embassy Manila is not always so helpful notifying you what to do next.  It would not be unusual for them to just leave you hanging to figure that out by yourself.
