Visa interview

[flyboyof3 5]

Please some one help me. I am pulling out my hair what I have left. I can not get answers from the national Visa Center at all and my time is ticking away.  I got the I-797 approval for my fiance in the Philippines and it told me to wait for a interview date and medical date. I got the I-797 back in May 2025 and it expires in Sept 2025, my time is ticking and I can not get any answers from any one about what am I suppose to do next. I got on the web site and it said it can not proceed on till all fees have been paid, I go to see if I have to pay any thing and it gives me the run around and takes me back to the beginning, then I try to see if there is some thing I am not seeing and it goes all over again to the same thing. HELP HELP.

The Consulate routinely extends those, otherwise read the guides, have you completed the I 134?

No we have not received anything as of now. I just got thru to some one on the web site and they said our case was sent to NVC July 29th 2025. so with that I pray we hear some thing before our ending date of Sept 7th 2025.

What does the status of your case say when you put your case number into egov.uscis.gov ?

when I try to look it up on the web  site it says from USCIS it has been forwarded to NVC and I have to wait for this and that. When I get on the NVC web site it says they have no info on that case to get in contact with USCIS.  By a miracle I just got in contact with a lady who said our case was forward to NVC July 29th 2025.  Our approval I-797 NOA expires Sept. 7th 2025. thats next month. I dont have the money to keep going thru this again if it does expire and they say sorry charley your out of luck. my nerves are frazzled now for the wait knowing we are running out of time.

Ok so July 29th was about a week ago. Not surprised that NVC doesn't actually have it yet. In about another 2 weeks, use the public inquiry form for NVC to ask for your case number. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html  Ust the "Attach File" part of the inquiry to attach a scan of your NOA2. In the inquiry, ask for your case number. Also very important, in your inquiry, ask them to update yours and your fiancée's email addresses and give them the addresses. Don't worry about the NOA 2 expiring. The consular officer at the interview, if they are going to approve the visa will automatically extend the validity of the NOA2. You cannot have them extend it prior to the interview iat the Manila embassy. If your fiancée goes to the interview after the expiry date of the NOA2, make sure she brings updated letters of intent to marry, from you and her, with her.
