Our case was completed at NVC on August 16 and the suspense of not being able to schedule an interview was eating at me. After conducting some research here on VJ under Embassy Info, I was able to request late September interview by calling (214) 571-1600 (as I'm in the USA).

According to the rep at US Embassy Manila, they have available slots for August, September and October. I could have chosen an earlier date. However, this gives my husband time to finish up whats needed prior to his USA trip.

Visa Information and Appointment Service Call Hours and New Phone Number

The Visa Information and Appointment Service is now accessible from Monday to Friday only, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., except on Philippine and U.S. holidays.

In addition to +63-2-982-5555 and (214) 571-1600 (for calls from the United States), immigrant and K visa applicants may also request a visa appointment via this new call center number: (632) 902-8930. This phone number is valid for CR1 filers as well. The above numbers is recommended for getting an interview appointment.

Also, you can call the embassy directly at +63-2-301-2000 ext. 5184-5185. It is difficult to get through to the correct people using these two extensions.

Good luck to all and God bless! (F) (F) (F)

Our case completed in NVC July 26 and I got an email from them on July 28 about my interview on Sept. 12.

I thought that there is not slot for August anymore that's why they gave us a September interview. Oh well.
