You don't have to wait for the letter to come. If you have the case number, wait few days then you can schedule for the interview. You need to have your medical done prior the interview.

Hi pookaphilus and 070809...asawa ko was born and raised in Bacolod. She is a malambing Ilongga. Are you Ilonggo too?

:ot2:

OP...after you get your MNL # from the NVC, call the Embassy call center every day until they give you an appointment. Don't listen to the script-readers at the call center when they tell you to call back in two weeks. You can make an interview appointment as soon as the Embassy has received your papers from the NVC and entered them into their system. It takes about a week or so from the time your papers leave the NVC until the Embassy receives your papers and enters them into their system. Keep calling and you will get your interview appointment. Good luck! :thumbs:

Hello :) Yup yup, we're all malambing. Although I grew up in Quezon City, both my parents are Ilonggo. Tell her my mom was from Binalbagan and my dad is from Iloilo. But here's the thing, my fiancé is Ilonggo too. Woot! He's half Spanish, born in Bacolod but grew up in Kabankalan then when he was 14 moved to Florida. Ilonggos are the sweetest :innocent:

Oo...all Ilonggos are very malambing! :whistle::lol:

Since you grew up in QC, do you speak Ilonggo? How about your fiancé? Does he still remember his Ilonggo?

Good luck with your medical and your interview! :thumbs:
