hello everyone.. i noticed most of the vj members here are K1. our case is a cr1. i sent in our petition to USCIS in oct and after 43 days it was approved since i filed for expedite due to emergent situation. next step is NVC. with cr1 petitions, all affidavit of support fees/packet and Immigrant visa fees/packet is handled at NVC. i also requested for expedite in NVC stage and it was granted. NVC said that our case is being sent to the manila consulate on dec17. we havent paid for the IV fees yet just the aos fee. from my understanding, steps that wasn't done at the NVC will continue in the embassy. I can't seem to find the right number of the USEM to find out if our case has been received or if it's been entered in their system. i'd like to schedule an interview online but unfortunately, that was unsuccessful. i read around here that we shouldn't wait for the embassy to send us letter through snail mail cuz that might take weeks, maybe months. i'm trying to be proactive here, but i can only do so much since theres not much to work with. how many more days or weeks should i wait until i get bwitchy (haha) for not being able to schedule and interview appointment.

thank u in advance for all the help

3 hours after starting this topic i was able to clear things up. just a few minutes ago i was FINALLY able to get through the USEM and was able to talk to a HUMAN!!! she said that our case has been received electronically on dec.17. she said they are now waiting for the full paper case to be delivered so they can update our case. she also instructed me to call next tuesday or wednesday to schedule an interview appointment. she saw our case was expedited and she told me that they'll give us the soonest interview date in january. since our case was expedited through NVC she told me to bring all documents and the necessary payments to the interview. everything will be done at the US embassy on the date of our interview. i feel so relieved just knowing the consulate has our case even if its just the electronic file.
