How long does it take to get the packet?

NVC sent the package to Manila two weeks ago and my fiance still has not received her packet. When will it be sent?

Did you receive a letter from the NVC yet with your fiance's Case number (it starts with MNL)?

If so, you could try calling the embassy to see if they will give you a date. That is what I did and they set us up with a date for Dec 2nd.

There is no packet sent anymore. She may get a letter that tells her where to go to download the forms she needs. No need to wait on that letter.

You can already get everything together and schedule the interview.

We received the letter about two weeks after the USEM received the packet from NVC, but I had already called a few days earlier, and seceduled the interview.

Call the embassy and ask if u can schedule for interview already. They will tell u if u can or not.Tell them that NVC sent ur papers already 2 weeks ago then once u scheduled an interview, download the forms at NVC site or go to Manila embassy site. Good luck. i didnt wait for my packet my fiance called the embassy to set for my interview and i only got my packet after my interview.

I tried a k-1 visa several years ago and things did not work out for my fiancee at the time and i, but at that time the Manila Embassy sent an actual physical packet of forms and list of doccuments your filipina fiancee needed for the interview, and detailed instructions,to her along with the notification she was eligible for scheduling and then scheduled the medical appointment and interview a week apart a couple of months in the future, to give her time to get all the papers together prior to her interview. thats what the talk about recieving a packet is about. some of us didnt realize they'd stopped sending packets. Thanks from all of us playing catch up to the new way of doing things, for the heads up. The embassy is very closed mouthed about it. too bad they didnt say on thier website.

in any case i now have a new fiancee, a really good woman i love dearly and miss very much. we were worried about the same issues, as the whole process went really fast UP TO TO THE LETTER FROM THE EMBASSY 9 july 2010, stating my fiancee was eligible for scheduling an interview, then all stopped. we were waiting for the packet to arrive and to be told an interview was scheduled,and checking the website where you can enter your case number to see if you have an interview, for 4 months, til the other day it stoped opening when clicked. we had no idea what had happened to our case. because up to that point it'd been just like the first time i did it, only much faster. now we were very lost and disappointed. we did eventually download and complete the online packet,and somone told us that case number check site hadn't worked since 2008. but the Embassy could save everyone a lot of heartache and unnecessary research by prominently posting big procedursal changes like this on thier website. those of you who now know the embassy no longer sends a packet, are you saying they no longer schedule the medical exam and interivew anylonger either, without us calling them on thier toll line? that line existed the first time too but then just to accelerate the process.

I looked at hundreds of timelines today on other peoples cases, and the time from NOA2 to interview ranged from 3 weeks (extremely short) to 5 months (very long) normally most were between 2 and 3 months, so i guess the answer to how long is between 3 weeks and 5 months, now that were pushing 5 months we got worried, to because we saw little hints here and there that we may need to call.

Daag and Jane timeline: 9 Apr 2010 submitted petition, NOA1 13 Apr 2010, NOA2 15 Jun 2010, letter from NVC 24 Jun 2010 sending package to Manila US Embassy, 9 July letter from Embassy stating fiancee eligible for scheduling of interview. then silence for 4 1/2 months. thats the last we heard.
