When the embassy says they received the electronic file does that mean my case number is in their system?

[anewlifewith<3 1]

Hi guys, i need your help again...

I emailed the US Embassy in manila to ask if they have received my approved I-129F.

And they replied:

We received the electronic file from the State Department's National Visa Center (NVC) on May 20, 2011, and should receive the U.S. Immigration Service-approved visa petition (Form I-129F) shortly.

As soon as we receive the I-129F petition from NVC, you will be notified in writing regarding the interview scheduling procedures.

Does this mean that my case number is in their system? NVC mailed the physical file to the embassy on May 18, they should have it by now right?

And also, I paid the visa fee on May 30, but every time i try to get an interview appointmentonline, i get the following error messages and it's been two days since I paid the visa fee:

• Please check date of issue of Fee receipt. It is valid 2 working days up to 1 year from date of issue.
• Are you entering details of the Fee receipt issued in your name?
• If the data is rightly captured and unable to create a new appointment select ‘Exit’ button and contact our help line for further information.

How long should I wait before I can schedule for an interview? :-?

Thanks much

I have been waiting for that email for 18 days, and we got it today. They send me a follow email more likely saying that I am eligible for an interview. After weeks of waiting we can finally set up an interview appointment. Did you try yours?

Thanks for your response!

I tried to schedule for an interview today, i still couldn't. Its the same error message.

The embassy told me that they have the electronic file, but they are still waiting for the physical file to arrive.

But NVC told me they mailed the file last May 18. Hmmm :?

did 18 days include weekends? or is it 18 working days?

[anewlifewith<3 1]

Great! What I did was send them an email and they responded saying that they have my file and I'm now eligible for an interview.

They also said that they notified me in writing but that I need not wait for the hardcopy of the letter. It takes them a few hours to reply. Good luck!

If you were able to schedule an interview appointment, that means the USEM has your file and they have entered it into their system.

You don't need the eligibility letter the Embassy sends out.

If you want to see the eligibility letter, please click here.
