Anyone know what the Interview scheduling looks like in Manila now? Are there still March dates available? Thanks.

From what I read in a post a few days ago, there are no available slots for March interview.

Okay thank you Angeli, but I just found out some info others might be able to use. I spoke to someone at the Embassy and they told me once you have an appointment that you can call the customer service and request or inquire if there are any earlier appointments available. He said people cancel or reschedule or fail medical exams, then their appointments become vacant spots . So for example if you have an appointment for March 25 and you call them and someone who had an appointment for March 15 no longer has that appointment, then you can reschedule your appointment. I think that is great news !!!

Oh yeah that is very possible and is such a great news! I made my appointment online and I stick to it because it's convenient for me and my husband, as well as my family. So I guess you are just waiting to be interviewed huh? I just posted a thread of my interview checklist maybe you would like to check it and provide inputs. Hopefully it could also give you useful ideas. Here's the link:

Apologies if I state in a comment that my husband and I have been together for years & years. It's just that I can hardly remember a time when he and I were not together.

event.png

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! We are currently in Administrative Processing with no time-lines to guide us!

My husband is looking at cars in Trinidad for me as his wish has come true! Me a Trini-Wife!

BUT

I will call DoS weekly to check the progress and I will not give up hope.

July of 2011 is the cut off date for us, when I will either start construction on a home here in the US or return to Trinidad to be with my husband.
