Can We Schedule the Interview without the NVC Letter?

[Mark and Melyn 0]

If you have the MNL case number, I suggest you follow up with the Embassy in Manila. Then have your Fiancee go and pay for the interview at BPI then schedule online afterwards.

My Fiance actually received 2 eligibility letter from the Embassy, 1 of them arrived 1 week after she had schedule the interview the other the following week. It was a surprised cause we were not expecting the eligibility letter.

She got approved today!!

My Fiancee lives in the provinces and so in her case the deliver service came to the main road where she begins to walk towards the mountains and asked where she lives; they said to the people, "please tell her that we will be back tomorrow." and they never came back; I'm sure they threw her NVC letter away. And so as you can imagine I'm really glad that I scheduled her interview online simply using her case number that I received by calling the customer service.

I happened to call the the very day that her case number was assigned; so I scheduled her appointment 16 days later from that date, which happened to be more than enough; had I not received confirmation that her papers had reached Manila I was going to reschedule her appointment, but in our case it was not necessary.

The reason that I mentioned my method of bypassing the NVC letter is that I'm sure many are in my situation where receiving that letter is not fast, and certainly not guaranteed. Doing this saved us 2 or 3 weeks of delay. Doing it online saved at least 1 or 2 more weeks because you don't have to wait for the confirmation letter, instead you are able to just print off the online confirmation and this was accepted at St. Lukes for the medical exam.

I hope this helps others.

The NVC letter isn't needed for anything, even at St. Luke's its not required but they do want to see your appointment letter/confirmation for the embassy.
