NVC to MANILA EMBASSY, HOW LONG?

[EWRI6884 0]

How long does it typically take for the packet to get to the Manila Embassy after NVC has approved it? I called the NVC and I was told it was sent 19NOV08. I have called the Embassy twice and they have said no record on file yet. I know, I'm impatient!!! hahahaahaha

Thanks for any input!

In our case, it took about 8 weeks from when we got NOA#2 until the Visa Packet was delivered by courier. My husband was able to track it before that using the MNL number from the USEM website. But that was before they made you call to make your own appointments.

Yeah give them 1 to 2 weeks and try calling again, if your MNL case number ready for interview schedule and you could choose your desired date. In the meantime you can now work on the Document Verification which can be downloaded in the USEM website and get instruction there how to pay DV. In most cases this is the cause of delay of VISA issuance because this would take 3 to 4weeks to process... Here's the USEM website in the Phils. http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3024.html you could download here the packet 3.

Goodluck!

Thanks Guys!!! Well I realized the snail mail wouldn' reach them in one day but I was HOPING that they had it electronically to open the case so I could schedule an interview.

As for the DV, I heard it was no longer needed but we paid it regardless and have already paid the 156, 156k and 157. Hopefully it DOES get there quickly, patience is one virtue I dont have....

Thanks Again for your help and advice!!!

It took 9 days for the Embassy to receive our case. Be patient it goes really fast from here. Start to get all of your documents ready. Get your fees paid now. We started calling the Embassy after a week when we received our NOA2.

Good Luck!!!!

My husband called NVC last week for October and he was told that our case was complete Oct 28th whereupon they said they were going to send it out to USEM. He got his letter 2 days after. NVC packet left November 3 and was received at USEM November 6th. I got our appointment letters after about a week after that. So, you should try calling, say....monday.
