  1. Generally yes However some with just you and her family will be good too
  2. I'm going to assume your 2 weeks together coming up will be in the Philippines for the purposes of what I am going to say here: Save every boarding pass, hotel receipt, AirBnb receipt, etc Do things with your fiancée's family and take photos of the two of you with them Find a few "touristy" activities / locations there in the Philippines wherever you guys are going to be and take pictures of the two of you in front of the signs/landmarks, etc. Save those call logs / texts and put together a timeline of the relationship using samples from them Each of you write your story (Jaycel and I did this) - The consular officer doing Jaycel's interview at the embassy mentioned a couple of things from our stories during the interview. "Front-Load" your I-129F with all of this evidence. USCIS just requires proof that you two met in person within the 2 years prior to your filing the petition, your legal eligibility to marry each other and your letters of intent to marry but if you include all of this evidence in the petition, once approved it all gets sent to the embassy. As you can see from the item above, it's all available to the consular officer
  3. Unfortunately she did not have to schedule, cancel and then re-schedule so I can't advise on that
  4. This is the best advice - This is how we got Jaycel's appointment. We figured out that if you log in no more than once per hour, you shouldn't get locked out of the portal. We picked up what we believe was a canceled appointment because when we found it, it was the only slot open for the whole month at the time.
  5. The embassy can… the CFO counselors can’t pull anything on you
  6. Good to hear! Yes they raised it just after Jaycel did her exam in August of 2024. The only good thing with the raised fees is that they are now doing the Interferon-Gamma Release Assay test for TB as well as the chest X-Ray so hopefully that reduces the ridiculous number of false positives they had when just relying on the chest X-Ray. Keep us all advised on the process and I would recommend getting your FBI Records Check done soon for the CFO Counseling Session as it also seems that they are requesting that of the petitioner more often than not nowadays.
  7. Great news!! That's one of the most frustrating parts of the K-1 process in Manila. Did you get the medical exam scheduled?
  8. Denver does not do same day oath ceremonies. The last I heard a few months ago, they set aside 1 or 2 days a month that the whole office is used for oath ceremonies. The good news, guests are welcome at the ceremonies
  9. Just getting home from work and was about to take a look.
  10. FYI... Email update from USCIS on a new form Edition U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services <uscis@messages.dhs.gov> Good afternoon, We recently updated the following USCIS form(s): Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization 08/21/2025 09:29 AM EDT Edition Date: 08/21/25. Starting March 5, 2026, we will accept only the 08/21/25 edition. Until then, you can also use the 01/20/25 edition. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions. For more information, please visit our Forms Updates page.
  11. I know it will show up on the USTravelDoc website but I am not sure in what sequence. We did Jaycel's interview while they were still doing biometrics there at the embassy during the interview
  12. So to clarify - you will have to schedule BOTH the biometrics appointment and the K-1 Interview appointment yourself.
  13. The only interviews that are automatically scheduled are Immigrant Visa interviews and those are scheduled by the NVC before your file is ever shipped to the embassy. The K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa is a non-immigrant visa and you will schedule that interview yourself.
  14. You have to schedule your own interview for the K-1 Visa in Manila so the only way that you would have that scheduled without a biometrics appointment is if you do it yourself.
  15. Yes you can choose a date if you reschedule it online through the portal. We did it for Jaycel’s appointment. @a89syd9a I noticed the same thing when we rescheduled Jaycel’s biometrics but didn’t pay it much attention because we were trying to get it rescheduled for an earlier date anyway
