Hi J.M and Thomas, I received a letter from the NVC saying that they are forwarding the petition to U.S. Embassy Manila. The Letter came via email to me and has the case number : MNLxxxxxxxxx and also a USCIS Receipt Number WACXXXXXXXX. It also provided to me a web link http://nvc.state.gov/k1 for next steps. Do you anyone of you know if I should go ahead file DS-160 right away or wait for the MNL Embassy to contact my Fiancee? and when does one pay the DS 160 filing fee? Thank you in advance for your help.
