Aloha,
Since seeing CEAC - Ready and (much later) receiving our K1-FTP, we have been banging our heads against the scheduling website. A couple weeks ago, I sent an inquiry to the Manila embassy about our case. Yesterday I received a reply. In part it says -
We received the electronic record from the National Visa Center (NVC) on January 29, 2025. The physical file is in transit to Manila.
For the applicant to be eligible for a visa interview, we need to receive both the electronic and physical files. Please be informed that we cannot state with any accuracy how long
it usually takes to receive the entire file of a visa case transferred from NVC. It is important to note that we cannot conduct an interview without the physical file.
Once we receive the physical file at the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, we will notify the applicant regarding the next steps.
I showed this to a friend on VJ. He has helped us during this process and his advice has been solid gold. He said for K1 visas, the Manila embassy doesn't send anything out after receiving the case and Dina and I should continue with scheduling. But at the same time, this was an official email from the embassy and early in the email, they stated this was for a K1 non-immigrant visa.
Not sure what to think or do.
