    I just checked online, no calling. I’ve probably been trying periodically for 3 weeks or so. I expected the usual none available. Out of the blue, 2 were available.
  2. widude
    I see that now, they want two weeks prior for the medical.

    I would check 2-3 times a day, but recently cued on the working hours over there. I doubt much is changing when the embassy is closed.

    Thanks, I did some research and was leaning that way, to the 160.

    The guy on Utube said don’t bother contacting your Congress critter.

    I just got one, mid August, likely a cancellation. Try to check when the embassy is open, not 2:00 A.M. Manila time. I could tell today they dropped two appointments about 10-10:30 Manila time. They drop the are gone fairly quickly, likely takes action from a worker there to offer them up.

    Maybe to late for this, just got an interview, mid August. I completed the DS-160 form, all proper, got the completion letter. I see reference to DS-260 at times, did I do the wrong form? Standard K-1 visa? Right now it’s off to schedule the medical, then collect all the required documents. We/she has them, just need to go through the checklist. My main question now is the ds-160 verses the 260. If I did the wrong one, do I do the 260 now? Thanks.

    We just got an interview appointment, mid August, there were 2. I told her we need to check when the embassy is open, I think. About 10:30 over there, they dropped two openings. I was going to check at 10,12,2, & so forth, Manila time. Now medical & the rest? Is 1-2 days ahead for the medical good enough?

    I think it has the ‘potential’ to move faster when beyond the NVC. Right now the choke point seems to be embassy interviews. Of course reports are the interview is rather short, once there. With that, you’d think they could schedule at least 3 an hour, same office.

    Sounds like the ‘travel documents’ site??
  11. widude
    It won’t let me edit. I just tried, the receipt number went through. I ended up in a page with no appointments available, so should be ok. The thing is, this receipt number is different than the one generated by the travel docs site. Anyway, possibly her visit, or my email inquiry may of helped.

    I agree, I tried to convey all that. I had emailed the 2 pages over, of course included the travel docs generated receipt number. The bank receipt didn’t include that number, had a different one. She just left after revisiting the bank in person, no real change, no ‘corrected’ number. The bank insisted it was payed correctly. This is in General Santos City, maybe familiarity is weak. I do have a email to the travel docs site, seems like my only hope at the moment. 😢

    She’s on her way soon, when they open up. She did have a receipt from the bank, the problem was, no numbers matched the one generated by the travel docs site, yes I sent the 2 pages to her. She did show/give the page to the bank teller, I’m not sure if they fully understood how the site generated number needs to be validated in the bank receipt. Hopefully they can get it straightened out. The expiration date is 29 July, time yet.

    Yes, I sent the above, paper with the receipt number on it. She went to the RCBC branch, paid the MRV fee. The problem is, the ‘receipt number’ isn’t the same as the one generated from the travel docs site. I tried them all, none are valid. I wasn’t there, not sure how familiar the teller was, I did try to explain the process, as I understood it. She did at least show the bank employee the travel docs paperwork. Anyway, since I hit this roadblock, I generated an inquiry on the travel docs site, not holding my breath. She may go back to the bank branch in the morning, see if they can ‘validate’ the travel docs site generated number. It says good until the 28th. If anyone has another course of action, LMK. I’ll explain to her in more detail before the 2nd bank visit. Hopefully they can sync up the receipt numbers.

    There is a branch not to far from her. I’m trying to get this done today. I wonder if I should talk her through it for in person, or try online? My bank doesn’t seem to have an easy way to transfer, then I’d likely set off fraud alarm bells. Why can’t it be as simple as an Amazon order?? I did see the # that some up on the payment page? Have her take that number to the local bank to pay? Later enter the ‘receipt number’?
  16. widude
    Since that is settled, can I ask about this travel docs site? My question is about payment? I just skimmed yesterday, got partially done. It seems the payment methods are a little unusual? Do I pay then enter a receipt number of sorts?
  17. widude
    I just took a look at the DS-160 application. It seems to be more something she fills out? I’ll point it out, then assist. Thanks.
  18. widude
    Thanks, that was some information I was looking for. It seems a fair number of steps for the DIY’er. I just try to stay ahead for the next steps, rather not have idle weeks pass while I could be scheduling something.
  19. widude
    OK, sorry for the basic questions. I now have a number from the NVC, they said the package is on its way to the Manila embassy. Now it seems time to create the account in order to watch for interview openings? Where is that? Embassy link? Is that DS-160 I hear about part of that? We created a shared email, hopefully then both can check status/appointment openings. Unless I need info from her, I may create the account, share log in information. My plan was to create the online account, watching for openings. While doing that, schedule the medical at some point, even without an interview scheduled. Am I missing a few things? Thanks.
  20. widude
    Ours was at the NVC for 6 weeks. They just said it’s now off to the Manila embassy. I’m now looking to get an account to look for interview openings.
  21. widude
    Thanks, I’ll look into that.
  22. widude
    I just came here today to ask this question, thanks. I got notice the USCIS was done 30 May 2024, on to the NVC. So it could be 1-3 months there?? Are you notified by email? What about just getting that NVC ‘receipt number’? With that one can complete the DS-160? I was hoping the NVC moves faster than the USCIS.
  23. widude
    I was kinda in the same boat, sent the end of Jan 2024 to USCIS. I overran my ‘estimate’, ended up behind me some. It finally moved to the NVC with a May 30th date. I haven’t heard from the NVC yet. With that those filed at the end of Feb ‘should’ be soon, though often it’s not always in order. I saw timelines where some filed after me, made it to the NVC ahead of me. That’s just the way it is. I doubt one could put a finger on the reason why.
  24. widude
    Thanks, helpful.
  25. widude
    Thanks, I’m of course waiting for the NVC receipt anyway. So once the DS-160 is done, there’s no expiration date? That could be done, then later check for interview dates? I think I realize can’t really look for an interview and medical until the package will be in Manila, from the NVC? Speaking of medical, that scheduling seems easier? Is there a gap limit on that, before the interview? Like could one do it a month prior? Yes there are travel issues.
