NVC told us the Embassy is willing to expedite our case once we're DQ'd. What will the process look like for an expedited CR1 case at Manila after DQ these days?

Trying to understand the sequence of events - do we schedule our own appointment? At what point can we do that? What will we be waiting for exactly after we are DQ'd (interview letter? CEAC to say the case is at the Embassy instead of NVC?)

Almost didn't post this as I'm tired of telling stories about our bad luck, but figured it could be valuable info for anyone finding themselves in similar circumstances.

Anyway, my fianc & her 7-year-old daughter have their visas, CFO certificates, and they had their flights booked to US and were supposed to be on a plane right now. The plan was to fly out from the province into Manila on Thursday - get their Rapid Antigen tests, stay at a hotel for the night, then take a flight from Manila to the US on Friday.

They arrived in Manila, went to the testing lab, got swabbed, stopped for something to eat, then headed to their hotel. As they were walking into the hotel lobby, the email came in from the testing lab with their results - daughter negative, fianc ... positive. I wasn't sure how to proceed. Do I book a quarantine hotel for them? For how long? What happens after that? Do they need to re-test until they get a negative result? How long could this delay their trip? Weeks? Months???

We decided she should inform the the front desk staff at the hotel that she'd just been tested, it came back positive, and so she'd have to cancel her reservation. They requested her to wait outside the hotel and they would have someone come to advise her about her situation. About an hour passed and my fianc wasn't responding to my messages, so I started to get worried. Finally, she contacts me and tells me she's in a Quarantine Facility, and would need to stay there for 7 days.

She and her daughter have their own little room - has A/C, a bathroom area, and a bed (without blankets or pillows). I'm not entirely sure who arranged this - I assume someone from the local government did. Since I wasn't involved in the discussion, I don't know if there was an option to find and pay for their own quarantine arrangements at a designated hotel. I suppose the facility they were placed in is not the worst setup and it's free, so can't complain too much. They provide meals, but you can also order food and items to be delivered there. They told her that after the seven days are complete, she will receive a physician-signed medical certificate that indicates she was quarantined/treated, which she can use to travel in lieu of a negative test result.

She is now at the end of day 2 of quarantine, so 5 days to go before she can finally leave the country. She's hanging in there. She's not feeling ill, just bored. I chat with her as much as possible. Ordered blankets and pillows to be delivered. Hope they arrive tomorrow.

Hi, I applied for my mother's IR-5 Visa, and I got approved for an expedite. CEAC says it is Ready. I wondered if the embassy drops their schedule slots at a particular time or day, or is it randomly posted? Right now, I don't see any schedules available.

How many days or months did you receive your new Health Case Number (HCN) after you have requested it from SLEC?

I requested thru the SLEC site last year and also coordinated with US Embassy in Manila. They created a case and escalated it. My interview is set for next month. I also inquired with SLEC and this is what they said:

Quote

Please be informed that there is no definite date or time as to when the Health Case will become available since it is generated by the US Embassy. Once you requested your health case through our website our staff immediately sends the request to the US Embassy for them to generate the new health case.

We regularly update our Health Case inquiry tool once the US Embassy sends us list of newly generated health case to be uploaded in our website.

I was hoping that the US Embassy upon sending those Interview Letters also issue new HCNs for those for remedical since this is just too stressing.
