Hi!

I and my husband are thinking about calling this number to get an earlier interview date. I read some posts here that a CR-1 IR-1 applicants were able to call there and got an earlier interview date... but when i checked the USEM website, this is what i read:

"Starting March 19, 2008, those applying for K-1, K-2, K-3 and K-4 visas who have been notified by the Embassy to prepare for their interview can call 1-909-101-7878 (within the Philippines) to schedule an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy. The cost of the 909 service is U.S. $0.98 per minute; this amount will be charged to your telephone bill."

Is this number only for K visas? I wanna make sure before we buy the $18 PIN.

Please give me some info about this.. thanks!!! :star:

the 909 and te 1-888 number is the same. the 1-888 can be called with skype or VOIP or people from US with an $18 pin. ( i used mines over 10 times na) and i got the greatest news today. i always call everyday to get an earlier date of interview. initially got april 24, and a very nice girl helped me and gaved me apri 7 just earlier this morning.

conversation started very sungit tone from her. and she said, as of my 2 calls from you i dont have anybody who cancelled their sked. I asked her saying, is it rare to have people cancel their interview date so i can get their slot? she said it depends.. can i get your case number pls.. and she verified a few information about my original sked. and she said, the only date i have here is april 7. i was so excited and said OMG sure thing! im done with my medical already so im all set, il get that schedule.

even if you are on CR1 or whatever type of visa, for as long as its a case in the philippines, you may call that number. i would rather have an $18 pin that i can use multiple times than using the 1-909 number that is per minute rate.

good luck!
