The manila embassy is telling me that they received the petition but have not given date for interview yet. They said it could be up to 150 days. Anybody have an idea why?

Manial received the 129F on the 7th of December!

I hope for your sake you don't have to wait another 4 + months (since 12/7, right?).

Keep in mind that USCIS tells us they need 6 months to process our I-129F applications and it was only 2-3 for alot of us.

Good luck!

There has been a lot of discussion as to why it takes so long to get an interview once the petition arrives in Manila. As I recall, this extension started about mid-2005 and before that it was only taking about 60 days. I thought it was due to the increased petitions for professional worker visas but have been told I didn't know what I was talking about so it is anybody's guess.

I hope it doesn't take you 150 days for the interview and wish you the best of luck. Merry Christmas! It has been cold here the past several days so am wishing I was in Cagayan right about now :)
