dont wait for the packet 3, pay your interview fee at BPI then schedule your interview online.. if you will wait for it it will take more than a month.. in our case as soon as we had the case number we immediately paid at BPI and then scheduled the interview after 6 hours and a month after that was the time we got the interview packet or Packet 3. God Bless

Manila Embassy:

After NOA2 AND YOU HAVE YOUR MNL #

(don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy )

Once you have your MNL # you can take your passport and required visa fee (in Php) to BPI and pay your visa fee. The embassy website states that within 4 hours of paying at BPI you can schedule your interview appointment but most times it seems to take about 24 hours.

http://www.ustraveld...paymentinfo.asp

When scheduling online with the embassy you need to include the "XX" at the beginning of the passport number, your passport number IS your receipt number (normally).

Priorty Date; this is the date the NOA 1 was accepted.

Make sure to print two copies of the interview confirmation page as you will need one for St. Luke's and the other for the embassy.

Naka receive na ko ng notice via email from US-Manila embassy na no need na daw ako mag hintay for the letter galing sa knila. I can proceed na daw na makapag schedule ng interview. How long does it take ba para maka pag pa schedule and maka kuha ng interview date? Im still waiting for affidavit of support.

[Tintin and Mike 127]

You don't need to wait for the Packet 3, they don't normally mail it out. If you get it good but it's not required in USEM. Just call NVC to check if they've forwarded your case to the consulate. It took us 3 weeks before they've forwarded it but some are sooner.

Follow Ryro's instruction as how to proceed since MNL case # is all you need.

Good luck!!

ah talaga. hinihintay ko pa yung affidavit of support ko. kaya di pa ako makapag pa schedule. or mas maganda ba na magpa schedule na ko? is there a way na makikita ang schedule dates without having to pay first? mga ilang weeks bago makakuha ng schedule for interview?
