I was frustrated since there was no appointments for visa available in September and October. So I kept checking online for nearly two days by refreshing my browser constantly. And finally last night around 11:05 pm EST I saw a September 4 and a September 7 slots available. I jumped on the September 7 slot.

My dilemma. My fiancee did not take her medical as yet. So she is going to take it tomorrow. That will give her 7 days between medical and visa appointment.

Good thing I had the 1-134 and supporting documents ready. I will ship it by FEDEX tomorrow and it will get there in one to 2 business days. Do I write anything on the FEDEX package - such as "Visa Documents" enclosed?

Another concern when I jumped on the September 7 visa time slot, I wasn't sure if my application left NVC. The good news is when I called this morning they said it left NVC yesterday the 29 of August. Will it get to the Manila Embassy before September 7 appointment? How many days must it be at the Manila Embassy for my fiancee to be able to have the Visa interview? Can I track my application on its way to Manila?

Thanks in advance for your answers. Eveything is moving super fast. Just the way I like it

What website do you check to view open appointment slots?

Congrats and good luck on your interview

Sadly but true.... If you look at igor's list, it showing that April petition are getting worked on. although they say 5 month it doesn't necessary mean that... 5 Month is there "GOAL". I just hope that all turns around at its given time and they start approving them. This sucks!!!!

What is igor's list? How can I access it?

Just make sure you are ready for the nexts steps.

Hope your cases get approved ASAP.

I also made 5 months today, check out my post on processing at VSC

Good luck

Today, August 28th 2012, my case officially made 5 months since NOA 1 so I decided to call NCSC for an update since I haven't heard anything from them. I was told that VSC is currently processing applications from February 6th 2012. That is, although the estimated processing time is 5 months, they are actually processing closer to 6-7 months. I was also told that I could not submit a service request because although my case is outside the estimated time, it is not outside the current processing time. In fact, I would have to wait until my case is outside of current processing times (6-7 months) in order to submit a service request if I haven't received notice by that point in time.

Sad but true!!! I few more months of anxiously waiting for a response from uscis.

Hope this info helps...
