First we submit a thick package of application forms and supporting documents and
evidence.
This is the "front loaded petition" that VisaCoach is famous for.

My philosophy, the VisaCoach philosophy, which we rigorously follow on every case,
team VisaCoach works on, is that success, final outcome, final approval,
depends 99% on the quality of your application that you and we together
prepare and submit to US immigration.

We take every opportunity, leave no stone unturned, in making your application
as complete and persuasive as possible.

The quality of the work we accomplish at the start, at the "front" of this process, determines the ultimate outcome.

When quality goes in, a positive result comes out.

The petition package is mailed to USCIS.

Spouse Visa applications go to Chicago or Phoenix

After initial sorting then the applications are assigned and forwarded to one
of six USCIS service centers that are scattered throughout the USA.

At the destination USCIS service center your case is reviewed and processed.

USCIS takes many months to complete their review.

Slow or fast, US immigration is like a one lane highway. The sooner you enter
and get in line the sooner you exit, and the cases that enter after you, will only get to
Their destination after you do. So the sooner you apply, the sooner this will be behind you.

The review at USCIS includes an FBI background check. This is usually only on the
US Citizen’s background, however it will also include your Filipino Spouse if she or he
had ever lived in the USA for a while.

When USCIS is satisfied with your application, they "approve", at least as far as
they are concerned, then hand your case over to the NVC, based in New Hampshire.

While your case is at NVC, two fees are paid, the visa application fee and the
affidavit of support fee.

Then we gather and submit to NVC various civil documents and evidence that they require

These includc:

Your Spouse’s Police Clearances
Marriage and Birth Certificates
And your financial Evidence

Once NVC has all of your materials they will review them. This review usually
takes one or more months. Eventually NVC says you case is "Documentarily Qualified".
Or DQ.

Normally, right after your case is documentarily qualified, NVC reaches out
to the US Embassy in Manila, checks the consulate’s appointment schedule and books
your spouse’s Interview. They email you to advise the date and time then pack your
application into a DHL mailbag and ship it off to the Philippines.


There are two US consulate locations in the Philippines, in Manila and Cebu City.
The Consulate in Manila handles all Spouse visa interviews.

Sorry, even if your partner lives across the street from the consulate in Cebu,
she or he must still make the trip to Manila for processing.

In the run up and preparation for the interview there are a few steps we need to accomplish.

And please recall, that unlike other services, VisaCoach will still be with
you on this journey, still providing personal guidance.
I will provide you with clear instructions on exactly what needs to be done,
and provide detailed personalized checklists.

You, the US sponsor, send your spouse the affidavit of support we had prepared,
along with your corresponding financial evidence such as tax returns and employment or asset proofs.
And finally your Spouse undergoes a two day medical exam at St. Luke's Clinic in Manila.

On the big day your Spouse attends the interview at the US consulate.

Shortly, after arrival at the consulate your Spouse is greeted by a local Filipino clerk,
and asked to show all of the documents that the consulate expected to be presented for your case.

The clerk will go over each item on his or her checklist, ticking off that your Spouse has brought the needed documents.

Failure to bring even one item might cause delays or even the interview to be canceled,
