2. Click “Nonimmigrant”
3. Scroll down and click the “Apply Now” button
   The following photos are the exact step by step process: 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   You also have to specify document delivery if you want it to be delivered to your home. But you can change that during interview if you want it to be picked up in Mall of Asia and other specific locations. That is why i would recommend to have your visa picked up in your just within the Manila area. Believe me, its faster.
   
   
   On the Payment Information you can write your "Receipt Number from BPI Deposit Slip. Some people used their Passport Number as their receipt number if their receipt number from BPI deposit slip don't work or was not accepted in the system. So you may try that as well. If it happened that still you can't get through in the scheduling of your appointment, you can wait a few hours more. It maybe because your receipt number is not yet in their system.
   
   
   Then finally, select the date for your interview.  Then print the confirmation at least 3 copies.
   
   
   Good luck!

Sample Cover Letter for Advance Parole Travel Document

You only submit the Form I-131 which is the Application for Advance Parole Document togther with the Form I-485  if you are planning to go back to the Philippines to visit your family and relatives without your GC. Coz usually the GC processing sometimes could take a year and if your lucky it would be just take a few months. This will enable you to go back to the US without your GC. 

Cover letter is not really mandatory, but for formality sake its better to have one. Please arrange the documents in the same way it is on your cover letter.

Point of Entry (POE)

 I am not sure if it works the same with other airlines coz mine was Delta. It was 30 minutes prior to arrival at the US Soil, we were given two forms to be filled up. Those forms are for the immigration and custom  clearance. Please take a look at the link below, that's how exactly the forms look like.

http://www.monadarling.com/visa/I94FORM.bmp

Bear in mind that most if not all of your co-passengers you are with on the same plane will have to go to the immigration and customs . So you may just go with the flow. Most of them are in a hurry to fall in line at the immigration counter. Listen very carefully as they will  announce on what counter you should fall in line. Take note that Canadian Visa Holder, US Permanent Visa Holder (Green  Card) and the Asian Passport Holder have different counters. Don't worry, they don't ask much questions. So, just relax. After that, you can now go and claim your check-in baggage. Then proceed to the custom area. If you have a connecting flight, then you need to look for your terminal where you are going to check-in for your next flight. Do not hesitate to ask for directions to the airport personnel if you don't know where to go. That's what I did..lol

I hope this post will help those who are still working on their K1 Visa.
