Has anyone used this new way to see if you have an interview date? When you put your case number in do you put the MNL part? Do you put dashes in? Or do you just put the numbers in?

On the new Electronic DS156 online form, it wants to know if "anyone else prepared this form". Is there some unstated penalty if I complete this form for my fiancee and FedEX it to her? I see the reasoning behind the question, but what are people doing about this? My fiancee is not comfortable completing online forms. I would prefer to complete the form for her, but don't want to cause an AR or some other delay in doing so.

Is it better to have her pull up the form in a cafe and walk her through it on a cell phone? Thanks.

How long does it usualy take until you find out when your interview will be?

In our case, file received Aug. 17th, and still no interview date almost two months later. BUT, the embassy gal said I should check website sometime in the 3rd week of the month for the December schedule. Unfortunately, the 120 days from arrival of packet at embassy to interview is NOT just them (embassy folk) being conservative, but looks like its the truth.

My fiance attended CFO in Cebu last Feb when her coz was visiting from US. does anyone know if the certificate has an expiration?

From what I know it doesn't have an expiry date, I got mine I think last October 2004. According to the CFO counsellor it's for a lifetime ( the CFO Certicate).

Hope that helps:-)

Elizbeth

thanks Elizbeth. one less thing to think about.
