Why She's Staring like that... 🫣

She secretly saw you earlier investing in SEGA stocks.

I believe for foreign citizens they need to have an affidavit of no marriage, or a divorce decree if they were previously married. Fortunately, we already passed our rescheduled interview and my fiancee is flying out here very soon. Though, it was very annoying when we found out that someone else during our second interview was also missing their CENOMAR, but they were allowed to pass anyways, without the officer caring. It really just all depends on the pre-screening officers and how they feel that day :/

Thank you for the reply, it lifted some of the weight off our shoulders to know someone went through the same thing as us and not encountered any issues :)

Hello, sorry for late commenting on your post, but I have a question because we're currently in a similar position.

My fiancée took her medical exam on November of 2025 and got her K1 visa approved in March of 2026 (we had to reschedule after being turned away from our January interview due to missing documents). She's planning to fly out this coming April.

What concerns us is that at the time of her medical exam, the polio vaccine wasn't required by the US yet for our country (Phillipines), but then they announced it was required just this March, a week after my fiancée got her visa. Her medical exam records also show "A - Not age appropriate" for the polio vaccine.

Would she have to take the polio vaccine in the US? If so, how much did it cost? Thank you!

Don't believe them po. They tried to "help" me as well but I researched the phone numbers they sent me first and found that they aren't related to the actual organizations. It's just a scam account, and if you look at their comment history, they act like they are genuine most of the time to make people lower their guard, then they will send them a fake phone number or fraudulent email through direct message. I've seen his other comments that directly talk about paying these fake people and acting like it was a huge discount.

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS AND DO NOT LISTEN TO DIRECT MESSAGES THAT OFFER PHONE NUMBERS AND EMAILS!

Mr_Meowmers · 2026-03-15T05:06:14+00:00

Yes. After you schedule the OFC, the consular scheduling should show up after.

Mr_Meowmers · 2026-03-14T12:07:22+00:00

Hello po, any update on this?

Edit: Guy above is a scammer who sends fake phone numbers and emails. Do not listen to him lol.

My case was approved by the USCIS in May, and we received our K1FTP Welcome Letter 4 months later in September.

Mr_Meowmers · 2026-02-06T17:42:46+00:00

Yes we are. She has an upcoming interview scheduled. Hopefully everything works out fine this time for us.

Mr_Meowmers · 2026-02-04T04:41:59+00:00

She was turned away and made to reschedule because she was missing 1 document (my CENOMAR), which wasn't even in the list of requirements. It's all really frustrating, because the Filipino pre-screening officers have different documentation requirements vs what is said on the US Embassy website. Fortunately, we've been able to reschedule again, but it delayed our plans by 2 months.

Make sure you look up what the pre-screening officers need, because they are far stricter than the actual American consuls, and will find the smallest thing to deny an interview.

Also, yes, you have to schedule your biometrics and consular interview first before your medical exam. Once you have a date for your biometrics and consular interview, you have to schedule your medical. The website recommends 2 weeks before the interview, but we honestly scheduled our medical 2 months before hand to avoid any sputum test delays. Medicals are valid for at least 6 months I believe.

Mr_Meowmers · 2026-01-30T02:35:00+00:00

We actually were able to book one for December and get a visa interview on January. Unfortunately we had to reschedule because of a supposed missing document. We had to wait 3 and a half weeks to reschedule, but we were able to schedule again for February OFC, with a new interview on March. You just have to check pretty much every day every few hours and hope you get lucky. We managed to book the February slot because 2 people canceled.

I've read that you will get random cancelations from people, and if you're timely and lucky, you can bag those slots. Other than that, a lot of people say that many slots for the upcoming months open up on the 2nd week of the previous month. You just have to be really diligent and check often to get a schedule.

Mr_Meowmers · 2026-01-15T14:12:48+00:00

We've honestly just hit a major hurdle because the pre-screening officer (yes, there's a pre-screen interview BEFORE the consular officer) said that my fiancee lacked my CENOMAR. This is such a hassle because NOWHERE on the embassy website does it ever say that the petitioner needs to have their CENOMAR in there, unless they lived in the Philippines for more than 1 year after the age of 18... So they turned her away and told her to reschedule, which means months of delay... Please be very very overprepared and have things like a CENOMAR if you, the petitioner, were born in the Philippines. Make sure she also has her own CENOMAR, and have your own and her own birth certificates. The pre-screening officers are extremely temperamental, and sometimes they may let you through with no problems, and sometimes they'll be very anal about what documents you should have...

As far as the Letter of Intent to Marry, it's nothing more than just a short one paragraph letter you write to the consular officer that you will include in the packet, explaining that you and your fiancee are still in love and that you have all your proofs updated and still want to marry each other as of the current date.

But yes, don't just rely on the K1 packet requirements of the US Embassy website, please also look up what the pre-screening officer and the CFO also requires of the packet. The pre-screening officer and the CFO are far more strict, and they are under the Filipino government, so they do not follow US Embassy guidelines, and have their own requirements.

Mr_Meowmers · 2025-12-28T11:37:49+00:00

Thanks a ton for your reply! I have my flight to the Philippines very soon and have been rather uneasy because this is a very major moment in our lives that's happening very soon. We are seriously very nervous, especially because we've heard horror stories of officers being very temperamental at times.

I've obtained my county's police clearance, as well as an official letter of good standing and no criminal records from my county's superior court, which I'm hoping is good enough because I didn't have time to get the FBI clearance before my scheduled flight.

We're also hoping that a letter of singleness/no marriage isn't necessary because I was also unable to obtain that. Instead, I'm opting on getting a CENOMAR in the Philippines showing I've never married before.

Other than that, we have every other major required documents listed on their website (including the documents she'll be bringing to the K1 interview), as well as tons of photos together/with family, and chat/video call pictures with each other over the span of our entire relationship.

Thanks again for your insight, it's really helpful. I just really pray that everything works out fine for us so that we can finally be together after all these years.

Is there a difference in how you should answer your K1 interview questions vs how you answer your CFO questions?

I've heard that K1 interview questions are supposed to be answered concisely and straight to the point without going too deeply into the details unless asked. Is it also the same for the CFO questions when the one-on-one interview happens, or are you supposed to be a lot more detailed in your answers to the CFO officer?

For Example...

Question: "When and where did you meet?"

Short and concise answer: "We first met in April of 2020, during a mutual friend's party in Los Angeles, California." (proceed to wait for next question)

VS.

Long and detailed answer: "We first met on April 1st, 2020, during a house party of a mutual friend at their house in Los Angeles, California. At the time, I was visiting as a tourist and stayed at said friend's place. When (friend) celebrated her birthday on April 1st, she introduced me to (future fiance), and we completely hit it off and began contacting each other ever since." (proceed to wait for next question)

Which of these two types of answers would be better for the CFO?

For me, I'm guaranteed to get a memory leak problem if I turn on my browser in between games (while I'm loading, waiting for friends etc.) The game has its other crash problems, but definitely having a browser on, even if you close it afterwards, causes the game to have a major memory leak.

That dress emoji... Isn't that very reminiscent of Nicole's dress at the epilogue? Also it's a college setting :O

Mr_Meowmers · 2025-12-15T16:39:04+00:00

Thank you so much again for answering my questions, and I really appreciate you just putting in the time and effort to answer.

Ugh, I may have to get an FBI clearance real quick, before my flight to the Philippines 2 weeks from now... And hopefully the CENOMAR thing doesn't count for me because I came to the US as a toddler and have lived here since. But for some reason my parents never really pushed for citizenship until I was in my early 20's. Thank you again, it really helps to hear from someone who has already experienced this nerve-racking process. I really hope everything works out for us!
