Our approved petition was sent to the National Visa Center last July 18. How long does it usually take for the NVC to do background clearance and send to the US Embassy in Manila? Anybody from the Philippines here? Thank you!

We received our NOA2 on June 13...we were able to call and get our MNL Case Number on July 8th, still have not received our written notification of our case number and the file is still at NVC.

I am wondering also how long it will take, our interview date is Aug 8th

oh, so as soon as we obtain our MLA case number, I can already set an appointment for the embassy interview? Geez, I hope your file arrives before your interview though. Goodluck!

Did you happen to get the email/notification that your petition was shipped to the NVC?

Reading your post I think you were in the same group that I was sent in as well. I'm not sure if we should give them 2 weeks from this point to get a number, but i know I will be calling a few days from now. Once you have the number I know that you can at least schedule the medical exam but I think you have to wait for the Embassy before picking the interview. However, being that you are in a different country then where ours is being processed it could be different. As for how long from NVC to Embassy I've read it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks. Once you know it's shipped off to them you can start contacting them directly to find out when they have it.
