My file was sent to scheduling on the 9th per the immigration department. We can schedule online in 2 days. Tried couldnt. Called on day 3 to schedule and they couldnt. Said the case wasnt in the system. I explained that it was sent 3 days ago. They sent a letter to the Embassy and I was told to call back 7 days later for embassy results. I called the immigrant visa dep. back and was told she didnt understand, that our file was sent 4 days ago but she will resend it again. Continued to try to schedule but still case number invalid.

I called the scheduling department again 2 days later. No answer from embassy and she will send another email and expedite are case.

I am sooo over this. My girl is going to stay in Manila for a week to do medical and visa at the same time so it is irritating.

just keep on trying online.....

just like we did .....

until "they gave up" and made us sched our appointment (online)!!!!

good luck !!!!

hello everyone.. i noticed most of the vj members here are K1. our case is a cr1. i sent in our petition to USCIS in oct and after 43 days it was approved since i filed for expedite due to emergent situation. next step is NVC. with cr1 petitions, all affidavit of support fees/packet and Immigrant visa fees/packet is handled at NVC. i also requested for expedite in NVC stage and it was granted. NVC said that our case is being sent to the manila consulate on dec17. we havent paid for the IV fees yet just the aos fee. from my understanding, steps that wasn't done at the NVC will continue in the embassy. I can't seem to find the right number of the USEM to find out if our case has been received or if it's been entered in their system. i'd like to schedule an interview online but unfortunately, that was unsuccessful. i read around here that we shouldn't wait for the embassy to send us letter through snail mail cuz that might take weeks, maybe months. i'm trying to be proactive here, but i can only do so much since theres not much to work with. how many more days or weeks should i wait until i get bwitchy (haha) for not being able to schedule and interview appointment.

thank u in advance for all the help :)

Thanks. But once they send it to Manila will they get it electronically same day?

.

First, the Embassy will receive your electronic case file from the NVC. Days later, the Embassy will receive your physical case file from the NVC. Days after that, the Embassy will enter your case file into their system.

question please help. how will i know it was electronic filed?

You can call the Embassy to find out if they have received your electronic case file. Better yet, call the NVC to find out when they sent your physical case file to Manila.
