I received my NOA2 on September 3rd and then NVC said that they sent our packet to the consulate in Manila around the 11th of September. As of October 7th, I have heard nothing from the consulate in Manila. Should I be worried? I called them about 10 days ago and they told me to just wait for a letter stating that they received the application. I am getting a little concerned. Most other timelines seem to indicate that this wait should only be about two weeks.

Try to call USEM again, ask them if they received your case sent by the NVC. I look at your timeline and we have the same date upon receiving the NOA1 (April 22, 2008). And also ask your fiance if he received the letter sent by the NVC to him because if he has it already your new case number is written on that letter. You can set your schedule for medical exam and interview if you have the new case number which is MNL2008******** even though you don't received your instruction letter that USEM will send to you.

Everybody's case is different, you have to remember they have to review all the documents, verify everything, make a backgroung check for the petitioner..

Be patient, and you will get in there in time..

Good Luck.

I courted my Fiance for almost 18 months.

Once I went to the airport to fetch her the long wait was all worth it.

Being able to marry a PI girl is worth the wait.

Most beautiful women in the world.
