Did you buy your ticket yet?

No not yet, we'll purchase when visa is on hand

no, they will only check for contagious disease, of course they will note all your medical history but scoliosis won't hinder you from your American Dream.

all our worries are gone.. status is READY just this morning..

Our packet was sent out by NVC to the US Embassy in Manila on October 9th and CEAC status still shows "In Transit." Should I start worrying? It has been almost two weeks.

How's your case? Is it ready yet?

NVC sent our case Oct 9, until today Oct 24 case is still IN TRANSIT

Go to the interview. They will be ready for you.

That's what we are gonna do,

You are not the first that has pushed their interview close like this... and that is what I am basing "my gut feeling" on...

I met somebody from fb page too and we have the same case but i was ahead for few days... She is closely monitoring her case too..

We'll just get busy preparing for the interview.. Everything is set already, plane ticket and hotel stay.. No more turning back with the schedule

Thanks Hank for aleays responding and putting up with my rant

The embassy has an electronic copy of your case file, they had it when your actual case file was still at NVC. I don't know if I would cancel, I lean towards keeping the interview, then if they say reschedule do it then... but at is me.

I would want to pursue with the schedule but it's just that i don't know what's gonna happen.. So i emailed USEM to inquire the whereabout of our case, and called them earlier, the person i talked to said he saw i emailed the US embassy and it was already escalated to immigration section, they don't have access about any info other than the interview schedule, case number, names and passport #...he said to keep my lines open for any replies from them, and it is my discretion if we would go to the scheduled interview or not... I have been researching over google who among has similar case as ours...But i still have 3 business days before my fiance's interview.. Ill just hope for the best

My mom did sputum test and culture when she did her medical, she immigrated last yr. when she got here, she received a call from the Public health nurse to follow up, she did another xray again and sputum test.. And the nurse suggested that she needs a primary doctor to do another physical exam and recommend a clinic which caters new immigrant without insurance and will only pay by sliding scale amount based on the household income.

Thanks for sharing..

Good thing we're not planning on going to interview until end of November as I'd like to be there when my fiance gets interviewed, but it would be comforting to know that the papers are there and ready for the next step. Everything has gone really smooth until this delay.

our case has been delayed since from uscis to nvc up until now.. I thought when we did schedule our interview without being ready on the status was affected by how fast it would take usem to receive our case, hearing ur story gave me relief. So it's just a matter of receiving or opening it on usem part i guess

We are in the same boat. Our packet left NVC on October 9th too and up to now, CEAC status still shows "In Transit." It has been two weeks. It just worries me too because it only takes a few days for most people's packets. Ugh.

Some only takes a day or 2.. It's just so unfair..

Hi guys..

In worst case scenario, if our case is not yet READY by wednsday manila time, should i cancel interview appointment? Or should my fiance go to usem as scheduled and take a big risk?

You can log back in and retrieve your ds160,

You forgot to worry about the interview. Do you have all of your papers for that?

We have one more to get by monday, the nbi.. And we'll just review everything til the interview day..

I'm glad you found something different to worry about...lol...but you don't need to worry about this either because you already have a CFO date...

Then ill start finding cheap dayes to fly november-december ?

Have not heard any horror stories since the new appointment system was started almost 2 years ago.

As for your case file... obviously we think you are worrying too much

I think i am too.. Thank you hank... Ill just forget about it and focuse on the interview itself

There always has to be a 1st.

Maybe you will be the very first one whose case didn't show up in time for the interview, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hopefully there'll be no problems about that.. But ill just forget about it and be prepared for his interview..

I did set up cfo already on the nov 12th, with or without visa.. I heard some stories slots are very limited and people are not able to choose their dates because the day they like is gone

When they said your interview date is on that day then you dont need to worry. Sometimes it says in transit but they already recieve it. You know what i mean.

We did set our interview.. It's a K1 vis

I thought you had all of that done, but I don't always trust my memory

Don't worry on the case file... it will be there, you have a week yet.

i called USEM manila yesterday, they can't give me any information if they received it yet.. but the lady said my fiance can proceed to the interview but they can't promise if our case will be ready by then...

You are DO-DOing too much! Never DO-DO when DO will DO. Don't sit around waiting for a letter from the embassy that rarely, if ever, arrives.

Relax. If you schedule your interview 4-5 weeks out from when you got your MNL# you will be fine.

Pay your visa fee, wait a day then schedule your interview, get your medical done, gather the required documents...

Hi hank, everything is done..

Visa fee

Ds 160

Medical..

All we are waiting is the interview date which is oct 29,

NVC sent out our case oct 9 to US embassy, but until now our case is still IN TRANSIT, i am just worried that in time of interview they won't have our case ready.

Supposed to be my package arrived oct 16 in the philippines but until now my status is still in transit

i am blown away by this... but how do you know if it is your case?

Track your case in 2go website, it will tell you when they get ur packet and when they receive it at their facility from usem..

The will have now. It takes about 1 week once it leaves NVC and lands on the doorstep and gets checked in at USEM.

hopefully it gets there by next week

The U.S. Embassy Manila definitely will have your case ready to go by the time your interview rolls around.

hopefully..

Thank you both for your response.. Can't help but to get worried about this, coz from the start of our visa journey our patience has been tested hard...

How do you know it's left NVC?

I checked CEAC, when i got our case number, it says AT NVC, once it leaves NVC it will say IN TRANSIT

we got our case number 45days after approval.. hang in there
