I called the NVC yesterday to get my MNL#, in which they gave me, then I asked the status regarding my case and the guy kindly told me that it was sent to the Philippine Embassy on 5/25. Wow, that was quick only two days from 5/23 to 5/25. Next step, interview date, I guess I need to really start gathering all the documents required, I'm going to make sure my baby is prepared well in advance. Keep up the Great work NVC!

Woo hoo! At least NVC is going at a good clip! Haha, if nothing else, we can be greatful we're outta CSC Congrats!

Thats right!

Were you surprised at the 2 day turn around? I was honestly expecting longer and was floored when I called a few days later and it had already been sent out!

Congrats to you! I know you must be happy that things are moving rather fast now. I wish you continued success on the rest of your journey!!

I was shocked on the turnaround, I thought it was really going to be two weeks, i'm wondering when the interview date is coming.....



Yes, I am, and you should be too, my fellow CSC survivor! Make sure you call the NVC and don't wait, starting Tuesday!

Oh yes, I was very surprised...I thought that it would take atleast two weeks...but I am happy...extremely happy...

I know before Manila was doing their interviews every Friday. But now, I have been looking at some time lines, and they are conducting interviews everyday. Do you know anything about it?

If they have transfered your case, you had better check the embassy site for your appointment!

Kathlene's case was tranfered on 5/22 and when I checked, her interview was scheduled for June 6!

So get all your paperwork ready and hope for the best!

I do not know what we would have done if someone hadn't told me to check for an interview date! I got the packet today which would have only given us about 8 days to do EVERYTHING with Monday being a holiday!

Wow! that was really a quick turnaround! This process never ceases to amaze me. It seems as if you have to be ready for anything! Thanks for the info! And good luck to you!!!

Are you serious, I think because you have a different case, what site did you got to, to find the interview status?

Yes, USE Manila seemed to schedule interview dates sooner now. Our petition was also just received by US embassy last May 21. I checked their website May 23 and typed my case number just for fun but to my surprise, I found out that they have already sheduled me for medical and interview. I don't want to believe it at first, since i know the embassy just received our case. But last Friday, May 25, DHL delivered my packet 4. That's the only time i really believed it. My interview is set on July 11, at least i have more than a month to prepare for it. I have also read about other couples in other forums who just received their NOA2 approvals this May and were already scheduled for interviews in June, much earlier than mine.

I am thinking that maybe the backlog of USE Manila has lessen and they can now schedule medical and interview dates sooner. It used to be a 3-4 months wait from NOA2 to interview but now i see some are scheduled within 2 months to a few weeks from receiving NOA2. So it is good news for us. We don't have to wait that long to be with our love one!

So check the US embassy website, you never know you might already have your schedules.

you can check your interview schedule here:

you can check your interview schedule here:

We got the two day dealy too. Nice to know some part of the process can be done efficiently.

This is wonderful news for sure. But it makes me a little nervous as I (like many others) aren't officially approved. What would happen if by interview time, still no NOA2??

Bill

Actually, you are officially approved if your case is at the NVC/Consulate stages already, although you will need to request a hardcopy of your NOA2. You will need that in doing AOS in the future.

Good luck with the rest of the journey and congratulations to all who received the best surprise ever!

Ruchie's Interview was on Tuesday, May 22nd, so yes they are doing interviews each day of the week! Good Luck with all of you on your up and coming Interviews!

Austin, get everything prepared and sent over there! Believe me, time will fly by now! You two are almost there! Go over everything as many times as you can to check for errors or anything... Ruchie will be here June 15th.... Her and Mathew will have their POE in Chicago and I will fly there to meet them and fly back to Kansas City with them.... Good Luck with your Interview and may everything go very smooth! You two deserve that!

I'm planning on doing the same bro, I think Sharon's POE will be in Detroit!

Congrats and I wish you a successful interview

Hello you are few days ahead approved from us, did your fiance recieved her appointment for medical? If so, how long it takes to recieved it? Thanks and good luck....

Claire

Your fiancee will receive the so called Packet 4 (appointment letter for medical and interview, DS forms and instructions) once you got her appointments (medical & interview). It is usually sent out 4-6 weeks (more or less) prior to interview appointment. In my case, it was a month before my interview date.
