GOOD EVENING!

got a mail from NVC stating our CASE NUMBER... now what? what's next? :help: do i need to call the USEM now for an interview appointment or wait for a couple of days? the mail was dated March 6, 2010. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)

Did you call them and give your email? Or did they just transfer it from USCIS?

You can start calling USEM in about a week and start requesting an interview appointment. Or you can wait for their appointment letter, I hear that takes a few months longer.

Good luck!

got this from the embassey site on K visa: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3204.html

STEP 3: The applicant is notified: When the Embassy receives the approved petition from the NVC, it notifies the applicant of the medical examination and visa interview.

Starting March 19, 2008, those applying for K-1, K-2, K-3 and K-4 visas who have been notified by the Embassy to prepare for their interview can call 1-909-101-7878 (within the Philippines) to schedule an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy. The cost of the 909 service is U.S. $0.98 per minute; this amount will be charged to your telephone bill.

Applicants, Agents or Petitioners calling from within the United States will also be able to use this service by calling 1-888-877-9888. The cost of the 888 service from the United States is a U.S. $18 PIN payable using a Visa or MasterCard once you have called into the service.

Applicants or their representatives must have the applicant’s Immigrant Case Number as given in the Embassy notification letter available when they call to schedule an appointment.

Callers can speak with an English or Tagalog speaking operator. The service is available to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, Manila local time.

You can call for an interview, now is still a bit early, but keep this in mind, the call center PIN cost $18 and is good for 3 calls to schedule an appointment. With an NVC received letter dated Mar 6, likely you were mailed out this week...but still chances are very good that they have not processed your file yet at USEM Manila. You'd be better off calling the NVC and seeing when it was shipped to Manila. Give Manila about a week from the shipping date to get your file into their system. They WILL NOT schedule anything until you're file is in their system. Also, having the NVC letter does not always mean your file has been shipped. Need to confirm that with NVC.

You can do the medical without appointment. And also if you wait for an appointment letter from Manila, you could be waiting a while. Their website says 3-5 months wait for appointment letter. Some people on VJ have gone through the whole process and have received their appointment letters after they've arrived in USA. And the letter basically just says...you can schedule an appointment now... :angry:
