Manila us embassy

[MaryRyan 5]

I called and tried to see if my case was there and they asked me to email the question instead? Has anyone had a problem with finding out if their documents have been received? Also, how long does it usually take after the documents to be followed by the embassy letter? And is it an email or snail mail that's brought to my fiances home in Philippines? Thanks guys

Do you have the MNL# from NVC? It usually takes about a week or two for NVC to send the file to the embassy.

Your fiancee do not need to wait for a letter from the Embassy. The instructions can be downloaded online:

Good luck!

Hi, yes we have the MNL # NVC sent it out on may 1st and I just wanted to know if it reached Manila. We have done all documents and requirements except for the medical and CFO seminar (which I believe comes after the interview). But I read we need the embassy letter for the interview day, which is why I don't want to schedule an appointment without knowing when it will come. Will it be an email?

You don't need the Embassy letter for anything except to help you prepare for your interview. The Embassy sends the letter to the beneficiary by snail mail via PhilPost. You are wasting time waiting for the letter. Some people never receive the letter. Redvelvet posted a link to the letter and you should read the letter, but you don't need to submit it to anyone.

Since you have your MNL case number, you should go to BPI and pay the visa application fee. Then you can schedule your Embassy interview appointment. Don't worry, your papers will arrive at the Embassy in plenty of time for your interview.
