Yay! We phoned the NVC today and they said our case has been sent to the London embassy on 28th February!!! Although slightly worringly we also received an email from London today stating:

We have no record of having yet received an approved petition and case

file

in your name. However, there is currently a delay of 6 to 8

weeks

between the date the forms are received by the Embassy and the date in

which

they are processed and entered on to our system. As soon as the

Immigrant

Visa Unit has received your forms and completed the required additional

processing on your application you can anticipate receiving further

information on how to proceed.

Should I be worried it's not on their records 9 days after it was sent? (Most DHL packages for that date were delivered within a few days)

Does it really take 6-8 weeks for them to schedule an interview? Or do they mean 6 -8 weeks until the interview?

Can we be added to the list please? ;;)

No nothing to worry about, they take a couple of weeks or so before they put it into the computers manualy, then it will register that they have recieved it, just email them regular nd you will get the info you want :P

Thanks, aussiewench.

Btw, called NVC and my case is in Frankfurt or someway close to it. They claim they mailed it on March 7; checking DHL revealed however that a letter was transferred to Frankfurt between 3/3 and 3/6. Nothing mailed past that, so I'm hoping that's my package. So hoping for an April interview (wait time is 4-6 weeks).

mrs.mnez,

K1 & K3 visa applicants who had their cases sent to Manila Embassy in late January2006 and early February2006 are the ones in the May interview batch. The most recent IR Manila interview schedule I came across was case completed in December 2005. Some IR's who did their interviews this March were case completed in September 2005. The K visa interview schedule wait seems more predictable, while the IR just makes me wonder "How come?"

Hi there, Classic.

Thanks for the info. Right now we have nothing left to do but wait and continously pray to be given the date. Seems that IR1 beneficiaries esp in Mnila are always living in a dark tunnel waiting for the unknown. NVC would say one thing and Embassy would say another. It's so confusing!Urgh! :angry:

Nway, God bless you and everyone here! :luv:

I feel the same way, Mrs. Mnez. They prioritized non-immigrant applicants. :( We just keep on praying that things will work faster. :) Thank you to Visa journey. This site helps alot. :luv:
