DO U HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PACKET 4 BEFORE U HAVE THE INTERVIEW?

HI! I havent received the packet 4 yet or anything from US Embassy in Manila but Manila embassy have already received our paper from NVC. And we have our MNL case number. Can we have an interview appointment even without any notice from the embassy? or do we have to wait?

Normally it would take a month or 2 from the time the papers forwarded to embassy till you get your packet. All you can do now is to wait for your appointment/packet...keep tracking your case.

note: please update your timeline

goodluck!

It takes 2-3 months (from the time they received the papers from NVC) for USEM to set an interview appointment. You can check if you have schedules already on this link: http://203.177.135.10/ivappointment/login.asp... just enter your Manila case number.

I heard they have new procedures in scheduling interviews. You can check this out too: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=116793

BTW, they usually send Packet 4 4-6 weeks prior to the interview date but with the new procedure, they don't send it now, instead, they'll instruct you to download it from their website: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...ost&id=4468.

Good luck!
