So a few weeks ago my IR-5 cases were moved over from NVC to US Embassy Manila by way of expedite. 
 

Last week I made an inquiry to the immigrant visa unit regarding my parents’ schedule and I was directed to make an appointment using the UsTraveldocs website.

 

Since then I have checked ever hour of every day and it says the same thing, “No available appointments.” Should I have just waited for NVC to schedule their appointment instead of expediting? According to the call center agent for US visa information and scheduling they’re only opening up a certain number of IR-5 interview slots at a time. Should this be a cause for worry?

 

I feel like I should have just bit the bullet and waited the 2-3 months after I was DQ’d for NVC to schedule the appointments.
