What is the best time to call USEM?

[Honey&Sweety 1]

Good day! VJ friends! we just got our MNL case number , my fiance might call USEM later to have my interview appointment. I just wanna asks what is the best time to call USEM, do they entertain Sat. and Sunday Calls( Phil. Time). If he call later Friday morning (US Time) and Friday night time here PH Time, can somebody answer him and probably can give us interview appointment. Any idea regarding this matter? Thank you and God bless!

You can call the USEM for your interview appointment from Mondays to Fridays from 8:00am to 6:00pm Manila time. Do note that the US Embassy is closed on both Philippine and American holidays. See the link for more info.

both u and ur fiance can call. if u call from phil, it will cost u 55pesos per minute using ur cellphone..while it is $18 PIn payable if your fiance from US will call...The $18 is good for 3unlimited calls and it is good for 90days. You call USEM from mondays to fridays.

When was ur case forwarded from NVC to USEM? make sure that your case is available at USEM and it is ready for interview schedule...Once not, u will have to call again.

1. You can already set an interview appointment at the US Embassy. The numbers given are US Embassy numbers and not NVCs.

2. AFAIK, Smart user can also use the 1-909 hotline.

3. Given the number of applicants, expect that your interview schedule will be on January.

4. Upon scheduling of your interview, you will be then emailed a schedule which you can use to have your medical exam at St. Luke's.

Scott,

Before.. you can only call the USEM with a landline phone but NOW YOU CAN( really good news) using any prepaid cellphone card and no longer costs 55.00 per minute to call.

Before it cost me thousands of pesos to call the embassy but not anymore nowadays..they now accept phone call wether landline or cellphone. I did called the embassy many times wheni was in the PHILS .last May 2008 to follow up my son's CRBA application and didnt cost me much.

To Jose Rizal, did you just say that I can call the American Embassy for my fiancee's interview appointment even though our NVC case number ain't in the embassy's system yet? Please expound, compadre.

To AJanTess,

Even if you have MNLxxx case number but your case package is not yet available at USEM, you will be refused to schedule for an interview since your case is not yet processed. It is the NVC who made your MNLcase number but it doesn't mean that when it is given to u, you are now able to set an appointment. You have to wait for few more days or wait until u receive the USEM letter to schedule your interview.

Just to clarify, your case number is in effect your application reference number. It does not mean that your your case is already approved or documetarily qualified. Once your case is approved by the NVC and referred to the embassy, then that is the time s specific interview date can be scheduled for you since you are a K1 applicant. And once you've received notice that your case has been approved, give the US embassy around two weeks to process your. This by the way includes the time to ship your documents from NVC to USEM and eventually mailing you your appointment letter. Doesn't hurt to check the online inquiry system and calling USEM to confirm if you can be interviewed.
