I knew that NVC schedules interviews on the second week only and I had just got a CC. Worth a shot and probably by coincidence they responded the same day. I just got a bit worried on Thursday that this month's scheduling window would pass us by is all.

Did you mean the US Embassy in Manila ONLY interviews immigrant visa applications on 2nd week of each month?

There are false RFEs for the IV packet. But to me, it sounds like it's a real one since you said: "he was told that in IV packet, there were missing papers". The false RFE is for the whole package, bu

I believe that they only SCHEDULE for interviews during the second week for the future times. So for example you finish NVC the third week of the month, I think you'll have to wait till the second week of the following month to get an interview date scheduled. Some embassies schedule the third week but I fear that Manila is only scheduled during week 2. Someone may have better info so feel free to correct me.!!

Bob

Great news DanTes!!! My wife will do day two of the medical (get her results) tomorrow.......wish us luck and maybe a little prayer!

DanTes, it is possible also to call US Embassy Manila to schedule it yourself. As soon as your files reached Manila already :)

Is that the toll free call center number in Texas? I remember a post about a month ago that someone said you could do it online also. Hoping for CC sometime this week.

You can do that too. You can also call directly in the embassy.

Here's a hint: If she'll be told to go to 4th floor, that's for sputum but if 2nd floor, that's for immunization :) All the best!

Medical is a two day affair assuming nothing abnormal on chest x-ray. Did she get her shots yet? That normally comes after a clean x-ray, and is the last step in the medical. My wife said St. Luke's has been super crowded (at least when she was there).

She said she goes back for immunizations at 2pm tomorrow so I hope they were hinting to her.......Yes it was very busy, except for the 5 1/2 hour wait for the physical. She was none to happy about that!!
