call airlines and ask if you can book flight now and get back with visa number later, once you have it
 

DO NOT BOOK HER FLIGHT UNTIL AFTER U HAVE THE VISA...I know someone approved on dec 12 an they are still waiting for that visa and passport to show up...and they live 15 minutes from the embassy...they booked  5 weeks out from interview to be safe and still missed the flight. costing crazy change booking fees.

I am praying for you all still waiting either for NOA2 or NVC#. I have a question....my princess passed her interview in Manila, Philippines last Thursday. We are waiting for visa in hand. However, I want to book a flight to the USA and need her Visa number. Do you think that number is different than here MNL#? I also have an A-123456 number too. Either one the visa number? Please don't guess. Only answer is you absolutely know. Thanks you guys.

And congrats!!!! 

My princess is at the USA Embassy as I write this for her interview. She believes there are non-stop flights from Manila to Los Angeles besides Philippine Airlines. Does anyone know of other non-stop flights? I have searched all the basic sites and I think she is mistaken.

My princess is at the USA Embassy in Manila as I write this. She was told it can take 3-10 days to get visa in hand. She believes there are non stop flights from Manila to Los Angeles other than Philippine Airlines. I have search all the basic sites and cannot find any. Does anyone here know if there are other non-stop flights? Started this Journey May 15 (Received date).

Thanks, she talks about skyscanner.com all the time but I have never looked at it. I'll give it a shot later tomorrow. Thanks, it's been a long long h a u l so far.

Okay, have not been online for a bit here and will update my timeline...however...I have been calling the NVC often as everyone has and out of the blue, they told me they not only received our case at the NVC, but it has a case number too (that was January 5). One the 6th of January (Saturday) the case was "in transit" to the Philippines Embassy...Two days later, the case was "ready". I think they had the file for a while but did not tell me until it had a number....I called the day before and they said they did not have it...actually, it was 2 days before because they had a closure due to the snow. So keep hope....your file may be there....being worked on...and may get to the embassy 4 days after they give you the number...just my experience. Good luck all!!!!

CONGRATS!  Don't forget to add the new info to your timeline....
 
NVC received our petition from uscis last week hope we get case number from NVC today......
 
As for the inefficiency of this process funded by tax dollars, i read somewhere that little tax dollars are involved and the entire process is funded by the fees we as applicants pay..This was one of the the reason used to raise the fees for the forms we file. The higher fees were supposed to address the  across the board backlogs.
 
Government! GOD help us all....:)

Well I call the NVC Friday after work and FINALLY, we got our case number which leads me to believe they had the case for a while and just assigned it the number that day. I called earlier in the week and they stated they did not have the case. My understanding is it takes a few days to get one's number following the NVC receiving the case. Hopefully, I can get by dear here within a month. I think we were at 56 or 59 days from NOA2 to NVC case number...hang in there folks, and yes, I have updated the spreadsheet. Good luck guys...keep the prayers or tears or whatever works for you comin', your time will come...this waiting is so hard though and I will never forget the inefficiency of this process funded by our tax dollars.
