Hi everyone! My Fiance in the US already received the NOA2 last Feb 16, 2011 and received an letter from the NVC telling me that I would be receiving my Appointment letter from US Embassy in Manila after 2 weeks. Until now I still haven't received the letter and it is over 3 weeks already. What would be the best thing i should do? Would i pay my visa fee in advance and proceed with my medical exam since I have a copy of the aprroved letter from the NVC with the case number or should I wait for my letter from Manila US Embassy before paying for the visa application fee?

Do i need to pay first before i can get an appointment? And lastly, can i proceed with my medical exam first before paying for my visa fee?

Thank you and God bless!

We were in the same position. We had a February 16 approval letter too from the USCIS. Our paperwork was forwarded to the NVC, unfortunately, our case was put in for "additional processing", I contacted my US Congressman. Finally Friday, March 11, our case was forwarded to US Embassy Manila. I called NVC to get our MNL case #. We paid the BPI bank fee a week ago. We are just waiting for Manila to receive our paperwork and enter it into the system so we can schedule our interview. My fiance left today to Manila as we had to reserve an apartment early. I think we got an excellent rate fairly close to the Embassy of 5000p per month for a brand new apartment. We rented it for 2 months to be safe.

My fiancee has still not received her appointment letter. She has completed her medical exam and has paid for her visa fees. We are now just waiting for our case to be put in the computer so that we can schedule her interview. I think the changing of buildings has slowed everything down. Just our luck. First the USCIS slows way down after sending in my petition, then the NVC assigns our case to the wrong embassy, and now the USEM in Manila is slowing things down too. Good thing we have patience, but it's beginning to run out. Good luck.

1. Pay your visa fee, all you need is your passport number.

2. Email NOW the Embassy at IVManilaReplies@state.gov, you will get a reply within 3 days. Ask them if they already have your case, this will also make them input your case number in their system, and will inform you how to schedule.

3. You can proceed with your medical at St. Luke's using the NVC letter or if you wait for the reply in #2, you can use the reply email.

4. When I had my medical last March 3-4, 2011, they did not ask for my proof of visa payment, so i think you can proceed with the medical even without visa payment.

Goodluck!!!
