I called the NVC last night, Friday the 15th. They said that there were no appointments available for August and to call back next month . I hope everybody else did better than we did .

well I verfied also that its true that their are no more appointments for August. I think they should let us schedule our own appointments like the K-1 visa. I think thats why all the appointments are taken up before those who have CR-1.

I have seen here that the medical is good for six months. Can some one verfiy if it is true?

Thanks.

I'm in the in-between stage of waiting for the case to be reviewed and case complete. Anyone with encouraging words, please give them! I am feeling the pain rigt now. Thru this whole process I have been rather patient. I have lost it all!!! Lol, NVC give me a date!!! Please. ;-)

I had my case closed on 7/12/11 and praying for an August interview for my wife in the Philippines

I called the NVC last night, Friday the 15th. They said that there were no appointments available for August and to call back next month . I hope everybody else did better than we did .

What date did they close your case? I had seen people get early August already when their case was closed on the last day in June. I bet that most of the appointments were taken up by the K-1 since they can schedule themselves and we have to wait for NVC to do so for CR-1 visa.

I would call Monday to make sure of that. It could be a mistake.

Has anyone with CR-1 visa have their case closed this week get a an apointment for next month yet?

my case was completed on july 8th and i got e-mail today that my wife interview is on 26th august but every country has different timeline i think.

What country did you get your interview?

Just print out the NOA2 and the letter from NVC with you MNL case number and that is enough to do it also do the online registration for the Medical which saves time. Also you dont have to go to early to do so. My wife went after 9 am and was done at 1pm. My wife would have been out earlier but they cut her off at 12:30pm for lunch.

Hello All!

It seemed that with a bit more searching, I found the answer to my question: http://manila.usembassy.gov/marriage.html

Thanks!

Make sure you make your apointment online and make print out your apointment and do it early in the morning if you are going to do your marriage license in Manila.

My wife finished her medical today and received her shots. So just waiting for interview

Well our case is finally closed so on to the next wait line. Wait for date for interview. I am just glad that it was closed on the week that their are schedule apointments.

When I got my SIF I also called the automated number at NVC and it said case was completed....

Not always true because it still say in the AVR about the package that was supposed have been sent. I called today because I got my SIF and called them that its in final review. So I hope that email comes super soon like now!!!

i also got SIF on Friday and they told me the case is uder final review. i am just wondering how long it might take for them finish the review process after SIF...

That's the million dollar question

I scheduled my fiance's interview May 24th and they only had one slot available - June 28th. So it's probably based on what is available...I've also read about the 2nd week etc.

My advice would be to just keep calling...maybe someone will cancel their appointment and open up a slot for you.

K-1 visa and CR-1 visa go different routes. We have to wait for NVC to schedule our interviews since K-1 pay their visa their.

I know that I won't get a July date. I do want an August date soon as possible.

They gave us the 'every 2nd and third week of the month' script when hubby called NVC to inquire about our interview date after we got SIF and CC. I dunno if it's right or just pure coincidence but we got our schedule the second week of June for July 14. Some said it depends on the availability of slots. I've seen people who got their interview schedule set outside of that 2nd and 3rd week spiel from NVC. Mine was 10 business day after CC. I guess it's a case to case basis.

Well this is the second week of the month so I hope it will come fast.

Grats!

Thanks. I hope they close the case today so we can get my wife interview next month.

Today I was not able to log on and recivied SIF that everyone looks forward to. I called and it was stated that my case is in final review. So how much longer till we have to wait for the interview date?

Finally I got the SIF. Called that my case is in final review.

After sending in the DS230 and AOS is there a way to confirm that the NVC has received them, called NVC and they say it could take 20 business days for someone to review them and enter into the system? does it usually take that long or what is the reasonable amount of time to wait for someone to enter the DS230 and AOS into the system?

sent in DS230 and AOS together.

I did the same thing and was told also to wait 20 business days. They received on June 27 so from that point as of today its been 8 business days. I have seen done with in 10 days or less in some case. NVC is like rolling dice who goes next.

They received it however it hasn't been uploaded into the system.. Called them today tho and they have approved the AOS and they created a false RFE for IV application which got delivered already.. Will wait another week and call them...

Your lucky that they were able to tell you that type of info. I had called them yesterday and they read their scrpit to wait 20 days.

Yes, see the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_the_Philippines

On that link, charts with Roman Numerals designating region name and corresponding info is a good overview.

My wife knew what region in which she lives in. thanks for the help.

Does anyone know what they mean when it comes to region after you put your home address?

My wife will be going on July 12 some time in the day.

will it make difference if you send everything before the pacakage arrived to me?
