Is everyone who is waiting for there cr1 spousal visa appoinment in Manila still waiting on the NVC?

On Tuesday I called and they said they just started to fill appoinment dates.

Does anyone know if they have gotten a interview date yet?

We shared the same sentiments onizuka arrgggggg ####### is wrong with NVC? Why seems so hard to have an interview date from NVC, lately K1 & K3 got their own skeds of interview at USEM-MNL so I'm sure there are still available slots for CR1. Why NVC is delaying our interviews? Does anybody knows the cause of this?

The k1 and k3 they do different dont know why think they can even just call embassy and make there own appointment.

It is weird how shorter and easier it is for a finace visa when thats where most of the fraud is I would think lol

JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THE UNCARING NATURE OF THIS BROKEN INEFFECTIVE SYSTEM.

WE WERE APPROVED THE THIRD MONDAY OF JUNE, REALLY WANTED TO GET A JULY INTERVIEW!

WE WERE NOT ASSIGNED AN INTERVIEW UNTIL AUGUST SIX. WELL, WE HAVE NO CHOICE JUST WAIT..

PAID DELBROS, RECEIVED THE CONFIRMATION. WAITED TWO WEEKS, CALLED THE EMBASSY. WAS TOLD BY LORRAIN THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM DELBROS. O.K., WHY SHOULD THIS BE ANY DIFFRENT THAN THE REST OF THIS SCREWED UP PROSCESS??

MADE A CALL TO DELBROS, ASKED TO SPEAK TO ROBBIE. WAS HUNG UP ON THREE TIMES!

THE FOURTH CALL, I TOLD THE OPERATOR THAT MY WIFE WAS THE NEICE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE PHILIPPINE SUPREME COURT. AND ALSO TOLD THE OPERATOR THAT I WOULD HAVE HIM ON THE PHONE IN MOMENTS. ROBBIE ANSWERED THE PHONE INSTANTLY. I TOLD HIM THE SAME THING. HE SAID"I WILL FORWARD THE INFO TO THE EMBASSY AT ONCE."

CALLED LORRAIN, SHE SAID THE REQUEST WAS JUST FAXED TO THEM. SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE WOULD REQUEST DOCUMENTS VERIFICATION TODAY. WELL, MAYBE THINGS WILL BE BETTER NOW...NOT!

WAITED A WEEK, MADE A CALL TO THE EMBASSY. THIS TIME I TALKED TO GRACE. EXPLAINED TO HER THAT I WAS FOLLOWING UP DOCUMENT VERIFICATION REQUEST. I TOLD HER THAT WE HAD BEEN OVER A YEAR AND DID NOT WANT TO BE DELAYED. THEN SHE SAYS " WE DELAY PEOPLE FOR ALL SORTS OF REASONS, NOT JUST DOCUMENT VERIFICATION"!! IT WAS AS IF SHE ENJOYED SAYING IT. SHE HAD THE ATTITUDE THAT WE ARE IN CONTROL, AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL HELP SPEED US ALONG.

I SUPPOSE THAT THEY JUST DON'T CARE. MAYBE EVEN GET PLEASURE FROM DESTROYING THE DREAMS OF OTHER PEOPLE.

GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED

My husband just got off from the NVC representative named Shelly; she was extra nice & very patient explaining to my husband queries. Per her, the jurisdictions of scheduling CR1/IR1's interview that NVC is totally dependent to the USEM-MNL consulate because basically the consulate will be the one to give NVC the go signal based on dates from them. I am trying to analyze and realized the situation between K1/K3's against CR1/IR2's at USEM-MNL & hope I am wrong with this!

K1/K3 visas - paid the Non-immigrant visa to BPI amounting $131 per applicant & mode of payments are directed to USEM-MNL BPI Account, while CR1/IR1 Immigrant visa $400 were paid ahead of time & payments directly went to NVC, while papers/petitions are still on process. Meaning, does the Philippine Embassy prioritize this K1/K3 applicants in terms of interview scheduling (no offensement to K1/K3) since they paid the non-immigrants direct to their BPI ACCOUNT? Retrieving & gathering of money somehow for the consulates properties??? while CR1/IR1s is for NVC??? The point of my realization is: USEM-MNL will only give interview schedules to NVC specifically for CR1/IR1 once the said consulate done with all the scheduling of K1/K3??? Is this kind of a joke? If it is oohhh my goodness! Give me a fu-cking break!

By the way, until now we don't have an interview date and most likely we will fall on the September lists.

Yea that makes alot of sense, if anything this is the way most people would go if there is fraud, you know just get a visa and not for real love,to come to USA becuse it is faster, and less questions etc...

This is really sucks David. I am now sad because if it is true that we will be on the September lists I can't go to U.S. to be with my husband on our first wedding anniversarry date.
