Manila US Embassy

[stormyrain 0]

in my case the suspense stage has already expired, its been almost 5 years since my husband has submitted the petition, everytime we call the manila embassy they always tell us to wait for their notification when an appoinment date will be available for me, i am almost losing hope but i keep on praying for strength to be able to stretch my patience. the paper works we submitted were completed last february we are now waiting for an available interview date. thanks for all the information you have shared it makes me feel a lot better to know that there are others who more or less are in the same situation that i am in. Good luck to all and God bless!

5yrs??? How come it's taking that long? I'm a little confused. What petition did you file?

I'm hoping by next Sunday they would have scheduled our interviews. It's been four more weeks of scratching my backside waiting on a verdict. LOL! Keep your fingers crossed!

biggamer & sillygirl - I am hoping that "stormyrain" actually meant five months. I know that my four months has felt like four years and these four weeks have felt like four months. Good greif! LOL!

I know how you feel!

hey, have you tried calling the 1-800 number and check for your interview date? I called them after about the same time (3-4 weeks after they received my packet), that's how i got my interview date.

Waiting for notification and for the packet to get to me takes soooooooo long. I got the packet more than a month after the embassy mailed it and i live just 2hrs away from Manila!

Here's to more waiting!

Hi! Made an error there. it's not a 1-800 number.

but here's the number that i called: 1-909-101-7878. They will ask for your MNL case number so have it on hand when you call. Goodluck!

Be sure to post when you get your interview date!

sillygirl - Is that the call center number? I called the Manila Embassy direct at 011-63-2-528-6300 then dial 0 for the operator and ask for the Immigrant Visa Unit, which handles K1 Visas. DO NOT ASK FOR NONIMMIGRANT VISA! The best time to call is at 0730 (Manila Time). Cheers!!!

hi silly,

thanks a lot! perhaps i'll give them a call next week. i think it's much better to call the embassy when it's already a month after they received the packet.

I just spoke with the embassy and they gave me the same line. It will be 120 days from the date they received the case for an interview. If that is correct then our interview won't be until mid december MAYBE! This is so frustrating! Wait then wait some more!

i also use the 011 63 2 528 6300 when i call the Embassy. our petition arrived at the Embassy August 23, so now on que for interview. told the same 120 days. the Interview then would be approx. Dec 21st. hope someone will get a date scheduled soon.

Yup, that's the call center number. They are charging 55pesos per minute but it won't be a long call. When i called, it only took me 3-5mins tops and i got all the info that i wanted like when the embassy got the packet (even though i already know that even before i called), when they mailed it out and my interview date.

Oh and the first time I called, i got the same line about it being 120days blah blah blah. I think that's their standard answer to querries. I waited 4 days before calling again (can't stand the suspense ) and i got the date!

Hope you guys get your interview date soon!

Sillygirl - That's AWESOME!!! Congrats! I'll be sure to give you the break a leg... go get'em... you can do it post before your interview. LOL! Cheers!!!
