How long does it take to send the case from NVC to USEM Manila?

[chillin4me 15]

So we got our case number on Oct. 8, case was IN TRANSIT OCT. 9, I called NVC today, they confirmed they sent our case to USEM manila Oct. 9, but until today (Oct 20) our case is still IN TRANSIT... I called US EMBASSY to inquire, the lady i talked to said they don't have the information about that because they only can access limited info about our case.. She said, once USEM receive the case, they will send Eligibility letter to me or to the beneficiary stating that we can now schedule interview appointment..

But we already set the interview on Oct 29. Is it possible that by that time our case will be READY? or if USEM already have our case?

thank you...

The will have now. It takes about 1 week once it leaves NVC and lands on the doorstep and gets checked in at USEM.

The U.S. Embassy Manila definitely will have your case ready to go by the time your interview rolls around.

Thank you both for your response.. Can't help but to get worried about this, coz from the start of our visa journey our patience has been tested hard...

I checked CEAC, when i got our case number, it says AT NVC, once it leaves NVC it will say IN TRANSIT

If you have your MNL case number, you really don't have to know when your case leaves the NVC. It'll be at the Embassy in time for the interview. The important thing is to move forward by paying the visa application fee, scheduling the interview, and completing the medical.

You are DO-DOing too much! Never DO-DO when DO will DO. Don't sit around waiting for a letter from the embassy that rarely, if ever, arrives.

Relax. If you schedule your interview 4-5 weeks out from when you got your MNL# you will be fine.

Pay your visa fee, wait a day then schedule your interview, get your medical done, gather the required documents...

I thought you had all of that done, but I don't always trust my memory

Don't worry on the case file... it will be there, you have a week yet.

i called USEM manila yesterday, they can't give me any information if they received it yet.. but the lady said my fiance can proceed to the interview but they can't promise if our case will be ready by then...

When they said your interview date is on that day then you dont need to worry. Sometimes it says in transit but they already recieve it. You know what i mean.

Maybe you will be the very first one whose case didn't show up in time for the interview, but I wouldn't bet on it.

[Hank_ 9,173]

There always has to be a 1st.
