I have been waiting for an extra n/a on ceac for a while, without any luck though. That got me worried, I thought I might have gotten a check list, that's why I called to inquiry about my case. So, I guess the 3rd n/a is a glitch or my case just hasn't been updated on ceac.

Go ahead, kmohaseb, give them a call. I hope you'll hear some good news.

Next I went inside for body and bag checking
Then I proceed to :
Step 1.finger print scanning and the woman asked me DS260 confirmation
page andAppoinment letter she wrote something on it and returned it to me
.And then she told me to go directly to step 2.
waiting time 2 minutes only before step 2
Step 2.Pre Screening Filipino consul.
He asked me the following documents because we only sent a xerox

D.when was the last time he visited you.?
E.How did you know each other ?
F.Do you have a pictures together?
And that's all he then told me to go directly to step4 for final
interview and OATh taking.
waiting time before step 4 almost 2 hrs of sitting and waiting before the
consul called my # and I don't know why the're not using there screen to
show numbers.
Step 4. American Consul.( a woman and she was very nice.)
First I took oath after that she directly asked me a questions

And that's all she said ( well everything looks good you may now go to step
5 for releasing.And then I said thak you very much!!!
Step 5: Releasing this time you will know if you have 221g.
1. woman asked me my ds260 confirmation page again
2. what is your full name and date of birth
and then she said alright everything is fine you may now go to 2go
counter for passport and visa pocket delivery.
2GO counter woman only asked me the delivery information sheet wherein you

And then I'm done around 9:30 am with a smile in my face and hungry
stomach,
All you have to do guys just be honest for every details everything will be

And I'm pretty sure you'll have your case complete later today.

I hope, I will not call NVC this week.

I am just asking about 3 N/A's because all people think its might be sign of cc.

Anyway, Did you receive email from NVC for CC ? or when they will send?

I am sorry that I'm asking alot but I've nothing to do. I'm just waiting.

Good luck :)
