US Immigration from Philippines

Has anyone sucessfully scheduled a VAC fingerprinting appointment at https://www.usvisascheduling.com/en-US/?

We've been trying since Thanksgiving and each time we take a slot for my wife's mamma, within a few hours the appointment is removed. I have almost 10 screenshots of my confirmations in the Portal as record, but non of them seem to "stick" and I can't figure out why.

I guess we're required to have the VAC before our interview on the 16th, but it's not looking like that's possible....

Oddly, we were able to get an appointment to stick for her papa on the 13th, but i'm not sure her mamma is allowed to use that same appointment considering we were not able to add her as a dependent on the application because the system flags duplicate accounts and you can't delete accounts....

Any advice?

Thanks!

Any site admins - Is there a reason that when I post now, if I want to include an attachment (Screenshot, etc.) it says "Max total size: 4.72kB"? It basically means I can't add attachment to any of my posts. I would add a screenshot to show you what it says but.....

After report of marriage, what document is required to change my wife's passport into her married name. Where do we get that?Thanks

So, we are finally at the point of scheduling our visa interview, so I headed to USVisaScheduling.com (I don't know who created this site, but they need to turn in their web development degree, lol). Anywho... When I go through the required "Visa Application" process, which is odd given we already applied and were DQ'd and expedited, I get held up at the point where I enter the NVC case number.

I have copied and pasted it directly from the NVC, and I keep getting an error saying "The case number entered is invalid." Has anyone else received this error and how did you fix it?

Hello all,

Thank you always for any advice you can give. Like the title says I just received an email from the NVC that my wife's IR-1 Visa for the Philippines has been approved for expedited processing. Here is a quote from the email below:

"The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MANILA, PHIL approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application. The National Visa Center sent your immigrant visa application to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MANILA, PHIL for their action. The Embassy/Consulate General will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview."

What's strange is I never filed for it to be expedited. Also, how soon should I expect them to contact me regarding the interview schedule? Thank you so much!
