Presently, the USEM tells us the first avaialble interview date is May 20, 2014, 2 1/2 months from now. Four weeks ago, they had dates a mere 2 weeks out into the future. Did it really fill up this fast? Should I grab a date now before it getr worse? Or might the situation improve if I check it every day to see if sooner dates open up?

I just checked and first avail date is may12,2014...if it was me to decide, i would just grab the earliest date they have right now, then check the website frequently and reschedule if there's an earlier date available. A march or april date might pop out when someone cancels his appointment.

That is what I did. I grabbed the May 20. The wait is not the end of the world, as this is certainly not a life and death situation. The only thing that worries me is police clearance expiration. Candy worked in a dizzying amount of countries as OFW. It has been a nightmare getting all the police clearances, some of which we do not even have yet, and now we have to check each one of them to make sure they do not expire.

Other than that the wait is OK. And yes I will check to see if I can grab earlier dates.
