We are at "case closed" as of May 3. Just waiting for our interview to be scheduled. Can someone tell me how we will be notified? Will iit be email or snail mail? Will both of us be notified? Should I call NVC? My wife is in the Philippines. Thank you.

Our case was 'closed' April 27th, we are still waiting. I posted not so long ago, asking questions similar to yours. The message we received said it was going to take 8 weeks and I was asking the forum folks whether this was a realistic estimate. I got the answer saying it was going to take 1-2 weeks to schedule the interview. However, I am not sure where people get this information. And I have no idea what form of notification you will receive. There should be a letter from the embassy, yes, but I don't know whether there's anything NVC sends on their behalf.

If you gave NVC your email addresses at the very beginning, then NVC will email you with an interview package attached, to both the petitioner and beneficiary. The embassy will not email you anything. I would suggest to call NVC and DOS each day to inquire if an interview date has been assigned to your case.

Good luck to the both of you!

I pretty much got the same message from NVC as you did. Just waiting now. Congrats on fulfilling the HHR. Such a stupid law. Good luck to us both...I will follow your progress.

Yes, thank you. That was the info I needed.

YES, We just got an email message from NVC indicating the beneficiary's interview date at the US Embassy, however, there was no indication about the appointment date for the Medical exam. So all the beneficiary has to do is show up a week or two at the authorized Medical examiner which is St. Luke in manila Philippines before the date of the interview.

Both you and your wife will get a email notification.
