CFO and eTravel (which she will already have but will need to update prior to departure). CFO is relatively easy to schedule and takes about half a day. The catch is that it is only given in Manila, Cebu, and Davao. Hopefully she will be somewhat close to one of those. The digital certificate is emailed immediately upon completion of the class.

We never got this by physical mail, only email.

Item 7 is the letter that may or may not ever arrive that I mentioned above. Item 8 will not happen in the Philippines. Neither of these are required to complete the process in the Philippines. The only thing you need to complete the process is your MNL case number, which will be assigned at NVC after your I-129f petition is approved.

Nothing will be sent to her at all until after the interview, when they send her passport back. For that delivery, you will either give the delivery address or choose from a fixed list of pick-up locations when you schedule the interview. The embassy *might* send her a welcome letter and pamphlet, but it probably won't arrive before she is already out of the country. As was mentioned before, just put her new address on the DS-160 when you fill it out. Don't worry about updating her address until you fill out the DS-160. You'll be fine.

All required vaccines will be given on day 2 at St. Luke's. No need to get any in advance. For vaccines that require multiple doses, only the first in the series is required, and it will be provided at St. Luke's.

Do not wait for anything from the embassy for the Philippines. You will not get anything except possibly an email saying your case is ready. Everything there is driven by you. Once the DS-160 payment receipt is valid (24-36 hours), you can start looking for an interview appointment. Once you have the interview date, schedule medical exam for about a week prior to interview. I-129f approval evidence is the NOA2 from USCIS. It will say "Approval Notice" in the block to the right of the address block. Below that, the first sentence in the text will say "The above petition has been approved." This is not "cheating the system." It is the normal and correct way to do things in the Philippines. The packet others speak of generally never arrives from USEM, and even if it does, it will be months after you have completed the process. It is not expected for you to wait for it, and it is not required at any point for you to complete the process.
