I couldnt't find a thread for November NOA2 approvals waiting for Interviews in Manila this coming January or February 2008. So I hope we can all keep in touch here for updates if NVC has sent out the packets to USEM and if possible interview dates as well. Good luck!!

Have you given up hope that we may get a December interview date? I am still hopeful...

Good luck to you.

Im been more optimistic that it will be early Jan than late December, I doubt it will be one month only waiting time from NOA2 to Interview date. There is still the medical exam.

Hi everyone,

my fiance just got back to US from his visit here in the Philippines. He found out that there is a letter from the NVC but we havent checked yet what is inside that letter if that contains the PH case number or just a receipt letter.

I will keep you guys posted what is in the letter hehe Hopefully a PH case number. I'm so excited.

Thats good news! Im still waiting for some kind of reponse at NVC. They havent sent me a letter and I haven't gotten any case number yet. I hope NVC sends me a letter stating my packet left for Manila embassy before Thanksgiving weekend.

hello ripolo,
thank you for the invite, I don't have yet the nvc letter but its been two weeks since i had my notice of approval...maybe i should pay a call to NVC..hehehe..just to inquire whether they our case already..i just hope so..

by the way can I ask you something is it ok to put ZERo in the stocks and bond with the affidavit?

are self employed? I am looking for someone who tell me what to include in my affidavit since I am self employed..thank you again

Waiting for NVC letter as well

Thanks for inviting me here!

Though ours was approved October 29... We're thinking it goes with the group of NOA2 for November coz it still have a status of "touch" last November 1... And we haven't received the NVC letter yet... We're hoping for an interview by January...:-) Keeping our fingers crossed...

Hi to all,

I am also on the same thread...
looking forward to have my interview mid dec onwards..
we will make it guys!!
Let's all keep in touch.
goodluck to all of us!

Same here...i'm also on the same thread. I called the Embassy this morning (spoke with Sophia) and she said that they received our case and encoded it last Nov 16. I guess we'll receive the packet before the end of Nov and will be scheduled for medical and interview middle of December. Hoping and praying for this...please Lord

nice waiting with you all got noa2 nov 8 good luck to us all

Mine was approved on 10/25/07. Called the NVC today they still do not have it. So much for a good new years party.I guess all of our papers are sitting in a crate.The people who handle things like this should understand that this is our lives here not just a piece of paper.just throw it in a crate and forget about it.If it is the shipping costs that is causing this delay then they should just ask us how we want it shipped.I know i would pay for that myself if they would let me.I am sure most of you would do the same.Been almost four weeks since i got the good news and now the waiting starts all over.This is really pissing me off because there are a lot for people who have been sent to the embassy with the same date as mine.I am happy for them.For those of you that have been sent to the embassy already my best wishes to you.May you and your spouse be very happy together. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY

As long as you can provide Income statements 3 years showing that you make at least 125% of the poverty line, you dont have to disclose your stock and bonds or any other bank assets. You can just put "Not Reported" instead of None. Thats what other petitioners advise to do. Unless you are borderline at the 125% poverty line you may have to show more assets such as money in the bank...

I hope NVC is gathering all "USEM" petitons so that we will be one batch when the US Consulate in Manila starts to schedule interviews. Yeah I got my NVC notice on Nov 10, hard copy and I haven't had much luck either.

Congrats! Lucky you, at least you got your case number assigned. Does the website in Manila work to find out if their are interview schedules posted? This is the a direct link from USEM website for IV packet which provides the interivew dates but I havent gotten that far yet so I cant test it if Manila actually updates our status there. http://203.177.135.10/ivappointment/login.asp

my letter from NVC is delayed i already checked in the site the interview sched before my husand gets the hard copy , so best is just checked in the inteview site as often as u can

and one thing more as soon the site have ur interview sched u can print your sched and called the slec to sched for advanced medical more on when u have kids flying with you , coz kids have to have 3 days medical since they are giving skin test and its result waiting period is 48 hrs and from wat i experienced my daughter result did not released coz lack of one signatory it took me delay to issue the visa . so better be advanced , the medical is valid 1 month prior to the ineterview .

Thnaks for the invite im also waiting NVC letter hopefully we can have all same dates for med and interviews....

WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.SHE IS TWO MONTHS PREGNANT AND I AM GLAD SHE WILL BE HERE TO SEE THE DOCTORS OVER HERE SOON.I AM HOPING SHE WILL BE HERE IN JAN. I HOPE ALL OF YOU WILL GET THE GOOD NEWS SOON.WE NEED TO STAY IN TOUCH SO THAT WE WILL KNOW HOW IT IS GOING FOR ALL OF US.GOD SPEED TO ALL OF YOUR JOURNEYS.AS SOON AS THEY GIVE ME THE DATES FOR EVERYTHING I WILL BE GETTING ME A TICKET SO THAT I CAN BE THERE WITH HER.

hehehe I am in the same spot as you. Maricar is also about two months pregnamt.

i am happy for you and your wife to be .it would be nice if we could get them here next month but that is a long shot.i am just hoping that the NVC sends it to manila before the holidays.I will tell Babylyn that we are not alone in our journey.it is very hard to be apart right now with her being pregnant.Keep in touch so we will now how our cases are doing.

hello! we received our NOA2 11/09/07 and our case has been forwarded to NVC already..as of now we are waiting for the letter from NVC and waiting for the interview and medical schedule.

Hi,

Honey ko and I just got the NOA2 and we're really psyched that this part of the process is over. Just email and change to USCIS website still, haven't got the actual hardopy yet. I'll be checking the mail for that. I'm scheduled to fly over to celebrate Xmas with her and the kids, so with any luck, in addition to the very, very Merry Christmas we will have, I'll be over there to help out with some of the things she's got to do to prepare.

Best wishes to all.

It is a very hard time. not too long now though

Absolutely You are right with that the key of this journey process is how you can show here you have enough money on the back plus your assets and your are in a good standing record in your company for couple of years thats what they want from the pettitioner prove of income ..second part is your on going relatioship support to your fiancee here in the philippines ...

hello pineapple,

i dont have a copy of the poverty line..is 80k peryear above 125% for self employed,so i dont have to disclose my bank account, life insurance and real estate..if i am above 125%

CALLED THE NVC TONIGHT.GOT GREAT NEWS .MY CASE WAS SENT TO MANILA TODAY IT WAS ONLY AT THE NVC TWO DAYS. WHO KNOWS MAYBE SHE WILL BE HERE BEFORE JAN. THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I HOPE EVERYBODYS GOES THAT FAST THROUGH THE NVC.GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY

Thanks!! I hope so, but based on what I've read before, If the appointments have been scheduled, the following will be available: Case Number, Visa Classification, St. Luke's appointment Date, and Embassy Appointment Date, but if the appointments are NOT scheduled yet, the result will be Case Number Not Found on Appointment List.

don't lose hope.. just keep on praying, we will have our schedule soon... keep in touch!

Hello all,
our petition was approved in October, but it took 29 days for NVC to receipt and forward the package. Our package took longer than average as the recent average is 16 days from CSC to receipt at NVC.

My wife and I were also hoping for a December interview, but if you look on the December interview thread Mike & Beth are scheduled in January already.

Happy Thanksgiving and good luck to all.

Indeed, there are at least 7 interviews already scheduled for the 3rd and 4th of January.

It is getting so close now......I can't wait to purchase airline tickets and be with my honey at the Medical and Interview in Manila. Hoping for January interview.

mine left the nvc the same day as yours and I am guessing our interview date will be Jan 22nd or 23rd see ya there

We have an appointment now! Dec. 26th (medical) Jan.7th (interveiw) WooHoo!!!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!
ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!!

At Long last .. I have already my Medical (Dec.27,2007) and Interview (Jan 9,2008) Sched.
WHEEEWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gudluck to all of Us!

Medical: December 27, 2007
Interview: January 9, 2008

PRAISE GOD!! HE IS SO GOOD!!

waaaaa

patiently waiting for NVC letter/..

Congrats! Im still waiting for my NOA2 to be received in NVC. I was probably one of the few people happy that Thanksgiving weekend was finally over, only so that NVC could start workin on all cases again... I hope NVC gets our packet this week.

same here ripollo...
i am still waiting for the NVC to receive our case, actually I called NVC yesterday and they told me that our case is not yet with their system...whew when will the uscis send it to NVC..what do you think?

Can I join? I think I belong to the same cruise... as they say God is good all the times! Let's all extend our patience. Our time will come....

i also called nvc on nov 26 was told not there yet. got noa2 nov 8 hopefully soon good luck everybody

Im been more optimistic that it will be early Jan than late December, I doubt it will be one month only waiting time from NOA2 to Interview date. There is still the medical exam.

exactly that would really be impossible. in my case before my NOA 2 approval was dated August 9, 2006. The medical and Interview came up in October 2006 that My USEM interview would be Jan 8, 2007

Hey just wondering I was looking through different case numbers mnl2007817xxx I am guessing have all been scheduled an interview.. Tell me if I am wrong. mnl2007818xxx I don't think have been assigned an interview date at all as well as nml2007819xxx which is where I lie.. Let me know if any one's number doesn't match my thought


Just tring to figure out how soon I will have a date so I can get tickets.

Thanks for the help
Tim

I was able to pull up a list of all valid case numbers in Manila with case number starting at mnl2007817xxx of which 91 records are valid. I hope one of mine is here.

How and where were you able to pull up these case numbers? Please provide website and process you used, as I'd like to repeat for my information and sequence. We've got case number mnl2007830xxx and I'm wondering what we can get done while I'm visiting there over the Xmas holidays. I'm not expecting the Interview, as that'd be too quick.

By the way, I called NVC on Mon Nov 26 late (11:30pm) and got a very nice lady who confirmed that they'd rec'd the package from USCIS and entered it into the system. She was able to give me our case number MNL2007830xxx and confirmed that the kids were associated with the case. She said it should be shipped to USEM on Wed/Thur, so I'm praying for their fast processing.

I called the US embassy last night and got a very nice lady that told me they had received my case the same day the NVC had mailed it. She must have been talking about a fax or electronic copy. Still I am very happy about it. I wish they would give me an interview date so I can request it off from work soon. My job is asking me to put in my request for vacation for 2008 now and I hate guessing. I know it will all work out and I am so happy this is coming to an end.

God bless
Tim
