Dont Panic. 5 business days after you receive your NOA2, call the NVC(NVC IS the Dept of State) at 603-334-0700, give them your USCIS receipt number and they will give you your case number it will be MNLXXXXXXXXXXX, this will be your DOS case number going forward, ask them if they have sent your case to Manila yet, if they have not yet, call back everyday until they tell you they have. They send your case electronically same day, and it usually takes about 4 days for them to DHL the hard copy to the Embassy in Manila, however once they send it electronically, you can start calling for an interview appointment, as it will be in the system. Once you call into the call center and make an appt, you can go for your Medical, as the call center will send you an email verifying your interview appt print this out, along with a copy of your NOA2 to your interview. I have heard of people going to medical, and just giving there MNL case number...you can try, but I cant verify if this is accurate or not!

So the procedure is, wait 3-5 business days after your NOA2, call the NVC, get your MNL case number, then start calling to schedule your interview, once you have done this, they will send you an email with your interview appointment verification, then go for your Medical.

good luck, you will be fine, dont panic!

Guys it's 9pm on a Saturday night. I just ordered soup delivery and I'm wearing pajama pants.

That's more rockin' than most of my Saturday nights so don't be ashamed.

I wish mail was delivered on Sundays. Mail needs to be delivered by pneumatic tube (like that Simpsons pic I posted the other day).

I WANT MY DAMN NOA2 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! :bonk:

*ahem*

Sorry.

Anyway! So um, I was thinking about this today. For those of us that were touched last week, while we're waiting for our (potential) hard copy approvals in the mail our case could be, at this very moment, on its way to the NVC. Maybe the mail truck headed to our the various beneficiary's places of residence with the Golden Ticket will pass the mail truck with our new and improved approved petitions headed to the NVC and the drivers will tip their hats, nod, flash a winning smile at one another and zoom off into the distance. It could happen, right?

i like the spirit gap1 !!!!

btw, we were touched the same day.......

we are definitely moving forward......
