NVC Case Complete to US Embassy Philippines?

[David & Diana R 1,005]

Okay so we sent in the newly corrected DS-230. Of course it has been delivered by USPS EXPRESS MAIL. It's been sitting at NVC for 10 days. I call very day and they apparently have not opened the envelope yet. This was all they needed due to a typo. Any idea once they open the envelope before they say case complete? Then how far out is US Embassy appointment in Manila? I am waiting and it just takes so long.

NVC received my mom's corrected DS-230 on Feb 23rd & I received the interview email on March 6th. That is 8 business days. I don't know for certain when was the exact date of case complete was, because I know that once a mail is delivered to NVC it actually stays in their mail room until someone gets it & enters it in the system. My parents interview schedule was for April 4th. Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to cancel that appointment. I rescheduled it to May 2nd.

According to USEM site: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3238.html

All case processing for Manila, including appointment scheduling for immigrant visa cases, is generally done at the National Visa Center (NVC) in the U.S. An applicant’s case number does not determine his or her position in the scheduling queue. Once a case is current (i.e., priority date is current for processing), and is “documentarily qualified”(i.e., all the necessary, completed documents are received at the NVC) , the waiting time for an appointment date is approximately one (1) to three (3) months.

As soon as an appointment date becomes available, NVC will forward the case to Embassy Manila. NVC will also send the petitioner and/or the authorized agent/representative an appointment letter.
