Appointment Date

[naplesguy 25]

:) I called tonigh( August 2nd 2012), to set an interview date for my fiance. While I was relieved that they gave us a date it was not as early as I thought it would be. I was givien the earliest date of September 13th.

Is it possible to check to see if earlier dates open up?

Thanks in advance for answers. :)

Yes. The USEM interview phone line is open 8am-8pm M-F. Call a few times each day and ask if any interview appointments have become available due to cancellations/rescheduling. Keep in mind August 21st & 27th are National holidays in the Philippines and that may affect the call center hours on those days.

Also, there's an email address on their website for requesting earlier appointments.

Are you based in the US? Did your fiance receive the packet from the embassy already before you made the appointment? September 13 is a month away. Hopefully everything goes well with your journey. We have our MNL number already but my fiance hasnt received the packet from the embassy. Im going to see her 3rd week of September and hopefully she can obtain her visa before i go back to the States so we can come back together by oct 10.

Yes, I am based in the USA. No she has yet to recieve the packet. From reading this board I found out you don't need to wait for the packet and, in fact, somethimes the packet never commes.

I followed the proceedre pretty muc based on the thread on the link below. If you have your NVC number and have paid for the Visa and the embassy has your file, they will set an interview.

Don't wait for the packet, you could be waiting until September 2014. Just follow the guide in the Philippines forum and download the forms you need. Good luck and set-up that interview..
