Too funny. No wonder our petitions took so long to be approved.

Guys, I'm getting really worried.. I use readnotify.com to track my emails to the consulate and the email I sent on the 17th asking if everything was OK has now been opened 13 times including a few minutes ago (it is now after 8 PM at the consulate!)

It has been opened by two different readers. I am really getting paranoid that they're doing some kind of extra investigation. All they needed was a simple page, Part 3 of the I-129F, where a few boxes had to be checked for criminal history (of which I have none!) -- this page has now been emailed 3 or 4 times and also mailed two weeks ago with expedited service

Please tell me I'm just being paranoid!!!

Summary - as at 26-Jun-14 at 19:25:34pm (UTC -4:00) - 9days8hours41mins15secs after sending

Total Opened 13 times by 2 readers

Reader #1 Opened 9 times for 2mins45secs total

Reader #2 Opened 4 times for 14mins29secs total

Don't be paranoid, they are probably just working on your case. Don't worry. They are probably just working on your case with your email as their "last update". Still calm. Breath. You will be over with your love soon.

Stay busy doin go other things.

Don't over-analyze.

I know how frustrating it is. Let's try to stay calm. I am talking to myself as much as I am talking to you. Lol

I think we are coming up next. I have to think so. Have faith.

I agree, its probably good that they are looking at your emails. It must be so frustrating being so close, and just needing this one document. I hope you hear something withing the next few days!

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I've been on - got a little down, seeing everyone get stuff handled while we're still in this waiting game... Our case is sitting at the Embassy while the court handles my custody situation. I've had to ask for an extension of the I-129F petition already, and we've received the basic 4 month period. Just hoping I won't have to ask for another 4months!

I'll back read tomorrow and catch up on everyone, but wanted to pop on and say hi.

I'm sorry to see your case has still not been resolved Sparkle. We are in Manila purgatory checking and re-checking for available appointments for interviews that seemingly exist for everyone "except" us. We check 12 times a day but always get the message that no appointments are available. After over a month of this, I finally wrote my Senator an e-mail. It's hard to believe that so many applied in March, got NOA2's and interviews in June and are already here, yet I applied in November and still can't get an interview at the Embassy for her.

Sorry to hear that until now you don't have appointment for interview date.

I felt bad also knowing that late filers are now moving forward while the early filers are suffering.

I saw one post on Facebook about July appointment but it was gone after a couple of minutes. That's how many were now waiting for appointment schedule.

So sad that this is happening...

Yeah chaeradaria,

It's gotten so bad that on another forum, somebody told me how to get a program that would monitor the Embassy Dashboard 24 hours a day and make a ringing sound on your computer to tell you when a single opening has come open. Has it really come to this? Are we now stray dogs that must wait by a computer screen 24/7 in the hopes that our Robotron American Computerized Government throws us a bone to fight over?

I doubt that is what the founders of this country envisioned for the future of this country when they set up this government given they themselves had fled their own monarchies for a chance at democracy.

My two centavos.

[Chaera Aria 26]

This is getting worse, I haven't heard of such thing that you will get a notifications or ringing if a new slot opens. But it might work for you if they tried it already. all I know is they take turns, most probably be online 24/7 just to get appointment. I really don't have any idea why until now there is no open slots, Do the US embassy in manila explain why this is happening?

It's getting worse everyday.

[Chaera Aria 26]

I remember one case though, My friend was checking interview schedule, she wanted to move her interview date earlier. And when she look at the dates, there were a lot of slots open. To her surprised she post it to a group, but those who tried to get slots, didn't see it. So she screenshot it and showed to everybody, but still they can't access.

It might be a rare case that they offer slots to random applicants, and its their choice to choose. And they are not yet offering slots for you.

Sounds weird but it happened.

Of course, I called them and the operators were very polite. However, all they would advise it to continue, from time to time, to continue to try to obtain an appointment online as the same screen we had was the same screen they had. No explanation at all. Upon further investigation, however, I discovered that the United States offered Filippo(a)s expedited service if they were affected by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolonda. My application went in on November 1st shortly before the typhoon hit. In fact, I was in Cebu right after the typhoon hit. I offered my services to Samaritan's purse to the victims in Tacloban but was refused because I am a middle aged CPA and not a medical specialist. So, I just offered a financial donation to the cause of relief for the relief effort. It is my personal belief that many, many Pinay/Pinoys have taken advantage of the expedited program and lied stating that they were victims of Yolonda and thus having their cases expedited and put to the front of the line. I am a man of character and conscience and could not do that as much as it may hurt.

Sincerely,

James

Just checked again. Here's the same message for over a month now: There are currently no appointments available.
