hi, i already got my MNL# from NVC and im just waiting for the USEM reply on my inquiry on whether or not they already received our documents. Planning on paying the visa fee in the next couple of weeks to have the interview and medical scheduled.

I would just like to know from those who have recently scheduled their interview in Manila what is the earliest interview dates available at the moment? thank you in advance. God bless you all!

If you want the earliest possible interview date, then why are you waiting for the Embassy to reply? You're wasting time. Instead, you should pay the visa fee and schedule an interview right away. Don't worry, the Embassy will receive your case by the time interview day rolls around.

They have been getting people in within 2 weeks or sooner. I scheduled ours mid January and they asked us if we could do a January 22 date. That was like 8 business days from when I called. I opted for Feb 6th to give us time for medical and my documents to arrive. As Tahoma said, dont wait for the actualy packet of documents to arrive at your fiancee's from Embassy. Schedule now when you want the interview and plan backwards from there. You need 3-4 business days to be safe from medical to interview. Some do it sooner in between. We played it safe.

Good luck

Exaclty. When I got my MN# in August there was no appointments available on the embassy website. All was booked to the end of October. I kept checking every hour and one opened up on September 7. I jumped on it. So pay the fee and go to the website and book your interview appointment.
