If you are on Central time, then its 14 hours difference between Central time zone cities and Manila.

I just sent my wife her copy of our immigration package (4.1 lbs) and I used USPS Express Mail Service (EMS) and it cost me $63, which was a far cry from FedEx's $165+. I was able to track it well until it got to PI, then once if finally left customs I was able to track that it arrived at the destination city, but it wasn't like I knew where the package was for a few days after it reached Manila.

In the end, it made it there without a hitch. I did put 'contents documents value $1' to reduce the likelihood of theft while en route with the Philippine Postal Service.

I liked calling the NVC about 6 PM. That way if your Visa was processed that day, it will be in the system. The other poster is right. You need to talk to a live person for a K-1 Visa. I forget the exact hours but it seems like that are open to about Midnight EST. It's been a few months so I may be off on that.

If they have your MNL number it means your in the System in Manila and can make an appointment after you pay your fee. If your at 11 days you are right in the Zone, when it could be any day now. Keep calling every day.

I tried calling the NVC today for how many times but i got a reply " Network Busy " :unsure:

Thank you for the info..but still no luck today..just got a busy response :( I told my fiancee about that but he still prefer FedEx. What happened last time when he sent me something using the normal postal it took a while before i received the docs , now he won't use that kind of service again knowing i need to have the docs asap for my appointment.

Thats Correct "Easyrider", 14 hour Time difference between the Philippines and Central time zone citys. 16 hours for West Coast citys like Cali. They are ahead of us.

If you not in a hurry for your Documents try "LBC" if theirs one close to you. get Docments there in 7-10 days or Rush is some thing like 3 days which is more. Also since they are a philippine carrier no hanging out at customs for a long time at least. they got it "fixxored". Also NVC opem Mon-Fri, USA time theu open at 800AMEST, 700AM CST, and 500AM PST. Also. you can always go Fed Ex it will get there. Good Luck!!!:thumbs:

NVC is in the eastern time zone, she is in the Phils and wanted to know the time difference for calling NVC.
