Attempt to schedule an interview at US embassy MNL

[Josteve 2]

Hi fellow members, just want to share my experience and questions here. Today, I paid my visa fee at BPI, in the afternoon I called the embassy for an interview schedule but the embassy personnel who assisted on the phone told me that my payment wasn't verified yet so i waited for another 2 hrs and called back again but still payment wasn't verirified. Is this normal? im planning to call back again tomorrow. And one more thing the personnel asked me about the letter if the embassy mnila forwarded me of the packeet and i said none yet , my fiancee got the MNLCASE# by calling the NVC and again the guy told me to let my fiance call the NVC and asked the date if when the NVC forwarded our papers in MNILA, now im confused, i thought once there is a mnila case # we can pay and call for interview schedule so can proceed for medical in which i did., Any input about my sharing fellow members is highly appreciated. Thank you and GODBLESS ..

Yeah..that's normal.... When I scheduled my interview..i did it OL... Wait after 24 hrs by the time you paid your fee. Then proceed scheduling your interview OL that's much more easier than calling them. We don't have any copy of our case number when I scheduled my interview and believed me I did the rest of the process without any hassle, because by the time you have your interview your docs are already in the embassy.

When you schedule you interview OL, remember that your passport number is your receipt number.
