Time to Internview - Manila

[Ciendro 0]

Hi folks,

I just got my NOA2 from Vermont. The orignal 129-F applicaiton was received on April 25, 2006. Does it really average around 4 months from NOA2 to the interview? Does anyone have experience in applying for the 129-F for a fiancée in Cebu?

Thanks,

Hugo

Hi HugoSandro!

my fiance is in Cebu City too.

call the NVC number (in a couple of weeks or so) and use your Vermont Receipt No. to get your MNL case number. yes, it takes 4 months or so. checkout my timeline below

You may want to check, but my understanding is that the Consolates office does not do any of the Fiancee Visa interviews. I believe he will have to travel to Manila.

Be happy about that. The wait times for interviews in Manila are improving greatly. During the second half of 2005, the wait times were about 6 months from the time the consulate recieved the application...about 6.5 - 7 months from NOA2.

My fiance's interview is coming up, since I am here in the Philippines, I will accompany her to the embassy in Manila.

Will I be able to sit with her during the interview?

What are the interviewer's responsibilities? (i.e. I know he/she will need to determine whether my fiance and I will be able to financially support ourselves when in America)

What other questions can come up during the interview?

Here is a good link. Experiences with medical at St. Lukes, CFO and embassy interview. I asked about that also since I will attend my finacee's interview. Response said me being there was a positive and they do allow you to sit with her. Most questions will be directed towards her, I was told to expect the CO to direct some financial questions, as in my I-134 etc..
