For those processed through CSC, be prepared to wait for 7 to 8 weeks before NVC gets your case.

NVC sent date: 11/19/2013

First available appointment = January 28th?!?!?!?! OMG!!! I need a December appointment! I desperately need a cancellation to occur cray5ol.gif

Jan 28th?! Is it just due to the holidays or what?

Just found out my NOA2 approved Oct 25, 2013 is still good. Was automatically extended by the embassy until one year of the last date of notification which is Dec 3, 2013. It's a race now.

I checked one week ago and the next available appointment was November 25th. I have no idea how December could fill up so quickly all of a sudden! I am going to call the embassy this evening, their morning - to find our whats going on. This is crazy!

Well, it looks like NVC has finally started to speed up thing, l see it is only taking a few weeks to get the MNL # again, much like before.

Of course I am sure with the flood gates opening up at NVC is the reason for the December appointments disappearing so quickly.

NOA2 approved Oct 25

NVC Received on Nov 21 !!

Takes about 9 days to get to the Phil.

Hoping to get lucky with an interview between Dec 8-15. My intuition has been pointing on Dec15th for a long time now, either the interview or arrival here. Hopefully we get lucky with a cancellation at the same time she tries to make an appointment.

They just fill up that fast. Already full till mid February already!

You can take the risk and gamble of waiting for a cancellation and being fast if you see 1 come up. I just grabbed a Dec 6 last leek!!! I saw a Nov 27 on there the other day too.

I am still pretty early in the process since we only received our Noa1 and waiting for Noa2, but with the increased pace of USCIS, I figured I would see if I could check available interview at embassy dates.

Question is, at this point, would I even be able to check the dates. If so, how can I do that?

No, will be several weeks after you get your NOA2 till you can look up dates. Need your papers sent to the NVC and then call to get your MNL#, pay the visa fee at BPI and then you can look up the schedules.

Best guess right now is mid February but you can play the gambling game to get something sooner if someone cancels for some reason.
