So I had a friend in the system do some digging for my case and this is what he told me:

okay, got a response, they confirmed that VSC is taking 4 - 6 months, expedited request cannot be made at this time because we are within the time frame....they indicated that you should be getting the NOA2 by end of this month to early next month....they have you on calendar...this means that by June 5th if they dont get an update response from USCIS, they can put in the expedited request...

So for us late December people, we have to wait 3 more weeks, and then we can panic. But basically this is taking us 6 months.

hi kilipit! welcome to the group! you may call US embassy manila call center (1-909-101-7878) even if you dont have the letter, they will give you your case number and you can even set your interview appointment. you were actually just waiting for a letter of eligibility for interview from USEM (US embassy Manila) that's just what i had received and nothing else. You have the same case as my friend, shes a january filler, she got the NOA2 around March but until now she doesnt have the letter. she called the call center and USEM (US embassy MAnila) they did confirm that the letter is already being sent, they asked her if she wants to set up the appointment anyway, she said OK. I think you can also have the medical as well if you want to, just print the NOA2 email to show it to the guard at ST Lukes Medical.

Good luck!

Hi Maset09, Thanks for the number i should call them right away.

Where you in the Philippines? Hi BL2B, glad about your welcome note for me.

I have a Questions for today from a friend.

Her petitioner was divorced twice, the fiance only have the second divorce decree of her petitioner on her up coming interview and this is also submitted as part of an application to Vermont, and they didnot ask any additional documents and they were approved.

The first divorce decree is in USA and cant get it right away because the petitioner is still in iraq for work. the fiance remember that her petitioner submit an email and proof of relationship in Vermont, one email is pertaining about the first ex wife divorced and the second ex wife divorced topic.

Her concern is, they said that whatever you sent to NVC will be forwarded to US Embassy, she is worried what if they read that during her interview and she will be ask if how many times her petitioner divorced, and she likes to answer it only once (instead of twice) because she have only the 2nd divorced decree on her hand, her petitioner didnt include the first ex wife name in G-325A because the divorced decree is in USA.(only included is the name of the second ex wife because he has the divorced decree on his hand)

her petitioner first marriage last for 3 months and then divorced

the second marriage last for 17 years and then divorced

Whats the best answer during her interview?

if she will tell that her petitioner was divorced only once, she can provide the second divorced decree.

if she will tell twice, she needs the first divorced decree too.

any opinion out there?

Thank you.
