GGRrr!! i wish i can have my interview now!! *waiting waiting waiting.............*

By the way, how long did you guys receive packet 4 from NVC receipt date? I heard in Manila USembassy they don't send out packet 3 anymore, yes?

pls do reply.. thanks!

[R&W 5]

Hi Wendy! Long time no hear. You're lucky you live in Texas and able to use DORA.

Hey PW, I'm doing good. Yes the program (DORA) is actually exclusive for Dallas, for now. Wow paperworks never end. AOS isn't different with preparing for the embassy interview. I hope your paperwork gets speed up. Well I lurk a lot of times in here so I'm sure I would get an update.

By the way, how long did you guys receive packet 4 from NVC receipt date? I heard in Manila USembassy they don't send out packet 3 anymore, yes?

NVC receipt date or Manila Embassy Receipt date? I don't know the answer on the first stuff but I know that on the Pre-Interview Notice, they say it takes 180 days from the day Manila Embassy receives the case for you to get the packet. Don't worry djcess, the process seems to speed up these days so you may get the packet less than 180 days.

The embassy still sends out packets. But there are numerous cases that beneficiaries don't get to receive packets due to some reasons (e.g. Undeliverable address). On these cases, they call the embassy and request to send their packets to St. Lukes and they just pick them up on their medical day (Window F, Ground Floor).

Hi ryecatcher25, $100 is to be paid at the bank and your fiancee will pay 165.00Php for the delivery of her Visa (DELBROS) and she will pay that at the Embassy pavilion. Good luck!!!

Try these numbers:

Manila Embassy - 011-632-528-6300 ext. 5184

Dept of State - (202) 663-1225 ext. 1,0,0

Or send email to ConsIVManila@state.gov but it takes them 3 months to send a response.
