to wait or not to wait for notice of eligibility?

[MOandDB 4]

i called the us embassy here in manila to ask if they've already received my case. they already have our electronic file (hooray!) but not yet the physical file. ( ) then i asked the girl if i can schedule my interview now, but then she said i have to wait for my notice of eligibility which they will mail to me.

but then i read a lot of people say that i can schedule it ahead of time once they've received our file. i am really confused. i'm just really excited to finish this because we're almost done...

so my question is... can i pay for the appointment fee now and schedule my interview? thanks a bunch!

That is my question too before..but reading some post here I got success scheduling and finished my medical.. and now I am waiting for my interview date but my eligibility letter not yet arrive but hoping it will come before my interview date..go and pay the visa fee and try scheduling online if your documents not in their system yet you cannot but if its there you can schedule.. try calling too..and then go for medical.. Goodluck

You posted on this same question yesterday and received a bunch of replies.

It's really your choice whether you want to wait for the eligibility letter or not. If in a hurry, take the advice others have posted here and on your previous thread, ie, pay your fee and schedule your interview once it is in the system. Otherwise, wait. Good luck.
