wow you received your NVC notice so fast after you got the hard copy of your NOA2, we're approved last Nov 12 and received hard copy of it last Nov 27 hope we received our NVC as fast as yours.... hoping

CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!!!

Congrats! We basically have the same NOA2 notice date, but NVC hasnt received my case yet.. I just called and same "it could take up to 2 to 4 weeks and up to 90days" speech. I guess Ill call back tomorrow again...

I think we are in this group also, we received our NOA2 on Nov 20.
We think that our interview will be early Feb, hopefully the first week.

From reading this thread, I will start calling the NVC after Dec 10 to see if they have the NOA2 yet.

This is a good thread, I will make sure to keep an eye on this one.

Good luck to all, and god bless.

I think I am back at the point of going crazy.. This wait is killing me!! It seems the embassy has stopped scheduling for the month... Please God let it be soon.

The website is at http://203.177.135.10/ivappointment/login.asp Im currently trying to find the next batch of numbers that valid case numbers with schedule appointments but no luck after cases starting from mnl2007819XXX.

I Havn't seen any mnl2007819XXX with schedules.. What am I missing?

hi all i called nvc again this morning and they told me they already sent the case to manila on nov 29 after recieving it on nov 28 .i was suprised and very happy they sent so quick.good luck to everyone else here waiting i hope all our paperwork gets to the embassy fast and our interviews are soon.

Yep, but how are you doing this? Are you cycling through the number sequentially? Or do you know of some way to use search characters to pull up a block at a time? I've already got our MNL case number and would just like to see the interview schedule to get an idea when we might be slotted.

I have a way to search them so I dont have to type out all the case numbers that have valid schedules in the website.

For instance, MNL2007810XXX has only 9 valid numbers in the website, and yes I know what they are, and all are scheduled for medical on Dec 27, 2007 and have Embassy interview on Jan 4, 2008.

Well Thanks for sharing rlpolo78 We will all have our interviews soon.
Next round of K1/K3 interviews I am praying will be mid to end January.

God bless everyone.

Ok,

Sounds like you're not disclosing something, so let's see if I can help you with some additional data. Our case number is MNL2007830XXX. If you find anything interesting about the 830 group, please let me know.

The last batch of scheduled interviews are MNL2007817XXX, with 92 case numbers found in the website and have Embassy Interview dates Jan 8 and Jan 9 2008. I've searched and nothing found from MNL2007818XXX to MNL2007830XXX.

They are scheduling MNL2007818XXX cases now. Hoping they process them so quickly and move on to 819's....

i am still waiting patiently to receive NVC copy...

Just wanted to add my comments of "we're here waiting... why aren't you guys doing anything?"... Of course they are working their job just like most of us are. I do wish they would give my application priority treatment... but what would you think of them and me if they did?

Either way, I know time will pass and she will be here. In the mean time, I can finish turning my bachelor pad into a better place for a young lady to live.

Any other Texans reading this?

I am from TX, and we were approved with the NOA2 on 11-20-07. I have not made any calls to the NVC yet, maybe in about two weeks.
Good Luck to all of us

Hello from Carrollton. I am waiting patiently but it is getting harder right now.

Okay Im calling tomorrow to NVC.. the waiting is killing me.. Its been almost 1 month now.. and still NVC says they haven't received the packet. I just want confirmation that my case is moving forward...

I just checked and not one valid case showed up for MNL2007818XXX in the website. I did find 92 cases for MNL2007817XXX, of which 78 are K1 and 18 are K3 visa. 34 of them are scheduled on Jan 8 and the rest on Jan 9... I wish the USEM would start scheduling again so that they can start assignin me a case...

They should almost be to you, but of course call them and see what they say. You should have your interview mid to end Jan.
Are you going to go for the early medical?


You are just about two weeks ahead of us....hope that you hear something soon, good luck

Hello

We just got our case number it is MNL2007833...Does this mean I will most likely be scheduled for an interview sometime late february?

Thanks,
Bluebelle

waiting for interview date too

Congrats!! Yeah I got mine too.. MNL2007833XXX. I hope its first week of Feb at least or late Jan.. MNL2007818XXX and above have not yet even gotten their schedules yet.. Ill check later to see if USEM has updated their site.

Thanks for the info.. those are the only 2 cases I found for MNL2007818XXX. Ive noticed that no case ends larger than 140, so there should not be a case larger in number than say, MNL2007818140. Message if you are online during this time, and Ill give you the link on how I am checking the case numbers. I got a long wait.. my case ends in 833...

Hello,

When do you think it is the best time to get the CENOMAR and all the requirements. Once you have the case number of once you have the interview date.

The reason why I asked this is because I got my NBI clearance way back August 2007. I was told to get a new one before my interview in order for my interview to go smoothly and not to be placed in AR because of presenting old documents. I was wondering now when is the best time to get hold of the necessary documents.

Thanks,
Bluebelle

I am having my fiancé get a new NBI, NSO and CINOMAR this week even though they all will be valid past the interview date. I look at it like this. I would be very upset if they do want a more recent document and the visa gets held up over that. All of those documents put together cost less then rescheduling her flight. But also keep in mind they take 10 days to get.

Anyone else on the Nov 30 package delivery from NVC to Manila?

i hope i can have my MNL case number like everyone else here

Sorry to hear your setback.. just send them a copy of the NOA2.. scanned and emailed. Good luck and hope you get your case number soon.

I JUST GOT IN FROM OFFSHORE AND STILL NO UPDATE FROM MANILA YET.MY CASE # IS 2007823XXX I SEE SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN TRACKING THE NUMBERS.JUST LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD NEWS.THE WAITING IS KILLING ME.I AM READY TO BUY MY TICKET AND GO THERE TO BE WITH HER.I WAS WANTING A JANUARY INTERVIEW BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE LONGER THAN THAT.I WONDER WHY THEY STOPPED SETTING THE INTERVIEW DATES.DOES ANYBODY HAVE A CLUE? GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY.MAYBE OUR JOURNEYS WILL END SOON.

Since this is the November NOA2 thread shouldnt we all put when we were approved and for which visa. I think it would help us all know more or less where we stand......since we are all in the November boat together


K3 : NOA 2 November 20th

NBI is valid for 1 yr upon issue , and for i gather my documents when i got approved that is AUG 21 and my papers was received by manila SEPT25 and i have my interview by NOV 8 , CENOMAR i think its takes two wks to get and it has i think not sure though 6 months validity .

My case number belongs to MNL2007827 series. So far no schedule yet.

Listen to this nice piece of noose I got from doing my weekley call to the USE.. They now need a P 650 fee paid at the metro bank ASAP After paing that fee they need me to send a text to Delbro International showing I made the deposit.

this is the info she gave me:

go to any metro bank and deposit php 650

Account # 7-151-51420-7

Account name : Delbros International Logistics INC
Get two deposit slipps one for the bank and one to keep

after that is done you will need to send a text ,message in all capital letters to:

TN # 0917-5555-313
USE-MNL case number - first, last, middle name-(branch name)-(dat of deposit)-(time of deposit)-php650

Example of date 7 dec 07 day month year

She said people that already have interview dates don't need to do this

This is very unusual and could and probably should be a new thread all in and of itself since many will find it interesting and hopefully add some more to this mystery.

You happen to know what the extra fee is for?

document varification

they said it was new

okay here it is:

Thanks to Cadman76 for pointing this out to me, its not an extra fee but a required process which Delbros does, they verify that your beneficiary in the Philippines has a valid birth certificate and is sent to NSO for verification. Its actually stated on the USEM website () the 6th bullet from the bottom of the page and has a link to [url=http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfdelb.pdf]http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfdelb.pdf describing what Tim posted.

what does everyone think do we have to wait for interview appointment before we pay this or can we do it as soon as we have a case number.also while i was on the embassy website i clicked k or fiance visas and after reading the steps they have there it says that k visa interviews are only done on friday did they change this or is this new or what just wondering if anyone else has read this ..

You can pay the fee as soon as you have an NVC case # and the USEN is doing interviews almost every week day now

they also told me the sooner it is paid the better

My fiance has children who we are processing to bring with her as K2 derivatives. Does anyone know if the 650 php fee has to be paid for fiance and EACH child?

Please don't just quote me from the referenced page. I read it and it says "The cost of the document verification is P650 per applicant.". It just seems strange to me that they would want "document verification" for derivative (children) applications. I'm hoping someone who's been through this will reply with their experience. Thanks.

thank you

I hope USEM (Manila Embassy) starts to pick up the interview schedules again.. I think they stopped scheduling for the past 3 weeks already... and the last record I have is up to Jan 9 interviews...
