yes. as far i know. it wont be available asap. you need few hours after paying to schedule one. or maybe 24hrs. im not sure exactly how long. but its not immediate

Try booking at around 7 in the evening. The next slot will be 4th march already. Good luck!

Yes it's normal.It wouldn't be available even after 4 hrs.but just keep on trying.because as far as i know the first available date as of this morning 8 a.m Phil.time is Feb 27 2014.

There's a feb 26appointment available now.. But its really fast getting filled up! I swear I saw a march 4 appointment earlier.. Im tryng to get an earlier appointment for my interview, I got january 21.

it took me about 7 hours i think before the system recognized my receipt. others reported having to wait a full 24 hours.

i got the march 4 schedule just this afternoon. =) i paid yesterday nov28 at 10:30am then tried to enter my receipt number around 8pm (it was already in the system) but then i changed my mind in moving on with the scheduling because i have to wait for my fiance's call. try to wait for few more hours..

i did already.. i just took the march 4 appointment!! but my problem now is ..its says on our noa2 our case will expired on February 14

[tEe328cEe 12]

mine will be expiring on March 1. i asked a one of the members here about it and they said the consulate will automatically extend it for 4 months like if they received your medical report from St. Lukes before the expiry of the NOA2. i'll be having my medical on 1st or 2nd week of February.

[tEe328cEe 12]

we'll see each other pala on March 4 i asked 2 persons about our concern (expiring NOA2 before the interview) they said it'll be automatically extended as long as they see there's progress on our application like having our medical exam done before the expiration of the NOA2.

embassy automatically extends the NOA2 validity up to a year

You need to wait, the embassy states 4-8 hours, but most times it seems to take 12-24 hours.
