Call them anytime after they open (8am Manila Time). The first day of the new procedure I had to wait in line 30 minutes but every call after that has been instantaneous.

Per DHL tracking our approved petition arrived at embassy on March 28 (Friday). I would have wanted to call Monday but it was Sunday Ricky's time and he was had double schedule at work. So we called up April 1, 8am Philippine time. I think you can already call the day after USEM receives your papers.

Anyways, this is what happened, I called a day after embassy received our case..but I guess I called too early, they told me they have our papers but they are not ready to schedule us. Told us to call back in 2 weeks...I beg for 1 week..but I couldn't wait so I called 2 days later.. :P .which is today..so I called about 5 miuntes ago..I was finally able to get our appointment date..YAHOOOOO!!! She gave me options of Apr 25, 29, May 12, 19, 26.. I settled for MAY 12 at 7:30AM..Plenty of time to pay for Doc verification & complete the medical. :dance::)
