Thank you for your comment.
Looks like the procedures and fees changes quite a bit since we went thru this nightmare.
I am happy you guys it made it that far, and I am sure the interview will be a piece of cake for your guys.
Much luck,

Me and my fiance met online last January 2008. He came to the Philippines on May 2008, and he wants me to be with him in Missouri. We researched on the internet on how K-1 visa goes. He hired a visa lawyer and mailed the necessary papers last week.
I already have my passport, CENOMAR, Birth Certificate, Police Certificates.
I am not aware about CFO (Commission on Filipino Overseas???????) Seminar. I really don’t know what kind of seminar.
We’re just in the beginning of this whole process.
I need help regarding this K-1 Visa.
Wow! How difficult things can be! We filed on August 29th in an overnight package to USCIS. It wasn’t receipted in until October 10th!! We received our letter in March of 08 saying that Letlet was able to apply for an interview. First of course was the physical. When she got to St. Lukes, the fee had gone from $187.50 to $225.00!!! And they almost didn’t let here proceed as she only had a photocopy of the approval letter. (You must have the original). Then, they asked for her Cenomar. No one told us and it is not mentioned in the embassy website that this is necessary. But luckily, several of Letlet’s cousins and friends told her it was needed, and she was prepared. Lastly, she discovered that she needed to go to the CFO class, before the visa interview. Again, we were totally unaware, but she was able to get a reservation. Whew! Now we are only a few days away from the interview!! Fingers crossed!!
