Why its takin a "while" before they send the pre interview notice/packet 4 for the beneficiaries? Does anybody have an idea what are the process<if there is> involve before they finally send the packet? I saw some other fellow VJ's timelines and seems like the waiting period is 2 months or so before receiving a letter from the embassy.

Hi Byron & Gracy,

Yeah it seems like forever but they eventually get it to you. They won't send out the packet 4 until your interview date has been set. It will probably be March 15 or later before the dates are listed and probably within 2 weeks or more after that they will send out the packet 4.

If you will go to the Foreign Embassy Forum at this site and go to the Manila Embassy thread, you will find help there. The guys on that thread are awesome and very very knowledgeable. You will get all the info you need there.

Thanks a lot
