This is from @hondaguy

 

"After logging in, I had to actually click on "Schedule an Appointment" to get the website to let me input my document delivery address.

Even though I already had the appointment scheduled through NVC, I clicked on that and it imported my existing appointment and allowed me to give it my wifes address in the Philippine"

Thanks so much for your help Hank!! Really appreciate it!!

There is another topic and posting regarding this issue.    In that posting it was noted that you need to click on the tab regarding address updating and ignore the interview scheduling.

Hi Hank! Our case was pivot. Just wondering if I need to bring the original copy of I864 affidavit of support with my husband's signature?? And also original IRS transcript? Or scanned copy are okay?

Yes the MV is related to the K-1 visa.

 

That is strange that you can not access the address update without first scheduling an interview.    Who knows it may be something that has to be completed within the 24 hrs after the interview..   maybe ask the CO on this at the interview.  And/or trying updating your delivery address after the interview.

 

Please come back and update us  after the interview.  Thanks

 

Thanks Hank! I will update you all here.

You probably made the same mistake I did by clicking on the incorrect option when I tried registering for the delivery address. I forgot what it was . 

 

I had the same problem as yours. After doing the delivery address registration, it asked for scheduling of interview. I thought I could choose the same interview date set by NVC but it's giving different dates so I just left my profile as it is. If you already did your delivery address registration and it appears on your account, call the US Embassy to confirm that it is in their system. 

Were you still able to have your interview date that was given by NVC? Yes. After putting my delivery address they're asking to schedule appointment. And thanks so much for your reply!

Thanks Hank! I spoke to someone earlier and said that as long as I cancelled the Sept 25 appointment then Im still okay to attend my initial interview scheduled by NVC. As to registering my delivery address.. there really is an option there asking me to schedule an interview.. i skipped it for now cos I dont want to make any error again. Btw, is the MV fees only for k1 visa??

Hello, 

I need help. I read that I need to register a delivery address where the visa will be delivered. So I went here http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-iv-documentdelivery.asp and created an account.  I was then asked to schedule an appointment. So I saw the earliest they have is September 25. My original interview date from NVC is October 1. So cut the story short, I received an email confirmation saying appointment has been confirmed.  I got really confused cos it has MRV fees UID with barcode.  I then cancelled the September 25 cos I was thinking that might be intended for K1 visa applicants.  It shows the appointment has been cancelled too on my profile.  So yea. Just wondering if I still have  my initial interview which is October 1? And how do I register a delivery address without needing to schedule an appointment??

The embassy likes the documents to be less than 6 months old.   This is not stated anywhere "officially" but something that has been reported back many, many times.

 

 

Thanks Hank! Will just renew my NBI just to be safe

Hello!  I got an NBI clearance last March. It's valid til March 2019 next year. I have an interview this coming October. Just wondering if I need to renew it. I just wana make sure. Cos I think I read somewhere that any documents that's 6 mos is considered old. 

Thanks

Pivot

 

August 7, Got an email from NVC that my interview was cancelled. Called them and also got the same advised from Tier 2.

This whole waiting thing is really frustrating.  

Yes. We also got an email August 7. I know! Its really frustrating 😕 i just dont get how they assign interviews now. Its taking forever

First week of September you mean?

No. They said they will start scheduling October interview by the end of September ☹

Same here. Still waiting for my interview date. 

Hi! Is your case pivot? Also when is your cc?? My husband called nvc yesterday. Spoke to a tier 2. Was advised they dont schedule for September anymore. They will start to schedule October interview by end week of September. I really didnt expect US embassy in Manila is taking that long to schedule tbh 😕

Just now, waterdog said:

Wow! That means another month of waiting. Hopefully  we will get a interview the first week of October. 

Yeah. Hopefully!  I like it that you guys are so positive. Im like crying on the phone with my husband and he's also super chill haha

We are pivot case for Manila too. Its been almost a month for us also. We got a email about a week ago saying are interview appointment was canceled, but never recieved a interview date. Just have to play the waiting game.

My husband just spoke to a tier 2 and was advised that September scheduling is already close. And they will start scheduling interviews for October by end week of September. Its also funny that they dont know why we got an email saying our appointment has been cancelled. Im soooo sad. I was hoping for a Sept interview 😭😭😭😭😭

Still no interview date. Im sooo tired waiting

Sorry that you are having these issues. You are a guinea pig to this. The others are likely before you in time to NVC. NVC and USEM just started using PIVOT. The method of electronic transfer before was email and just a few embassies. Therefore, maybe you are part of the bugs getting ironed out in Pivot. There will be many more following you to electronically submit documents to NVC now that USEM is switching over to electronic document upload for Spouse Visa applicants.. USEM Changes Way of NVC Document Submision to NVC

Yeah. I just really hope we get our interview soon. Thanks so much!!

Perhaps you’re waiting so long because there’s so many people applying from the Philippines ?

have you called them?

Wow. That was fast! Well, we been calling them every day haha. And we been getting same answer from them.  I really dont know 😕 cos someone from PH just got CC last week and got their interview date for September already

Hello!

Just wondering if theres also someone who got their case PIVOT? US Embassy Manila.. i feel like everyone else is non pivot 😕 it's been a month now and still no interview date. Been calling NVC everyday and they keep saying they are still waiting for US Embassy Manila and no interview available yet. But there are cases that just got completed last week and got their interview date for September already. Their case was non pivot.  I feel hopeless already idk why ours was pivot in the first place

Wow.. When did you submit all documents to NVC? I would like to know how long they give CC after submitting all docs. Does the CC email/mail includes the Interview date or it is a separate email/mail?

 

Sorry for having so much questions. Just really anxious that it is waiting time again. Thank you!

Hello! We got CC 2 weeks after submitting all the documents. Ours was pivot tho. But until now we still dont have an appointment schedule for interview 😕 i dont know why its taking forever. Somebody said they got CC last week and got September 10 interview date. So yea.. we got CC July 18th. I honestly dont know why our case was pivot. Everyone else was non pivot 🤔
