Whats the next step?

Hi All,

Im a bit confused and shocked today. I received my NOA2 today just 30 days after my NOA1. I thought for sure it was a RFE but to my surprise it was not! So its caught me a little off guard I didnt really think i would see it for a couple more months but the CSC must be burning through them. So my question is what is my next step? The NOA2 says its only valid from 3/18/2009 thru 7/17/2009. I thought the next step was for the I-129 to be sent to the NVC but the notice says it was forwarded to the listed consulate. So do I wait to hear from the consulate? (Manila) Or do I make contact with them myself?

It actually will go the State Department's NVC office. You can contact them since they probably already have it. They will provide you the MNL case number. Once it leaves them which is usally 1-2 weeks it goes to the USEM and at that time you can start to call the USEM but it typically takes them 1-2 weeks to get the hard copy case and process it before you can setup your interview.

You can also do the medical at anytime now. Make sure you have all your forms ready for the USEM since the pace is moving fast

They go direct to NVC, and usually the stay there is short. Be aware that sometimes they get hung up at NVC.

If you are going to have the medical in advance you will need the case number from NVC, so ring them for that.

Thanks for the help and support! Yeah I checked the guides but there wasnt much info on the NVC part but I guess thats because there is not much for me to do there.

In my case, it was forwarded to NVC. Soon later, we got a letter from NVC informing that they already forwarded the petition to the US Embassy in Manila. A week later, I got a letter from the Embassy stating that I am eligible for the interview. A few days after that, i did my med exam and called the Embassy to set the appointment for interview.

Good luck!
