Hello! We are sort of lost in what to do next. Iam filing CR1 visa through DCF here in the philippines for my husband. We have sent the i-260 form online on 2nd week of april2014 and have informed nvc via email. We received an email a week later saying that we can now schedule interview. When we try to do so via online, it says no interview schedule available. do we have to send the civil documents to nvc? we are confused if we are just to compile it and present during the interview or maybe we have to send it via email or snail mail. Our priority date is feb19,2014. is anyone else having the same problems? any help will really be appreciated. Thanks.

Documents are submitted at the interview. Right now there are few interview spots open, and they go quick. Just have to keep checking. There's a couple threads on the interview schedule situation over on the Philippines sub forum.

If you look a couple pages back on here, you'll find a really good thread that describes several peoples experience going through DCF Manila. There's a post on page 5 that outlines the steps after you get a case number.

CFO- Commission on Filipinos overseas. A seminar that all immigrating Filipinos must attend.

If you check out the Philippines forum again, you can find a recent thread dealing with their new appointment system. Before may 15, there are no appointments, first come first served, so people start lining up at 2-3 am. Only like 15 slots per am/pm, per country per day.

What website did you go to set your interview? Can I also set one? IR-1 filer here. Thanks

Should find all you need there. If you need more info feel free to ask. :)

On edit, we didn't set an appointment for CFO. We've already got it done. The appointment system doesn't start till the 15th.

If you're talking about the interview appointment then you need to use:

https://cgifederal.secure.force.com

The instructions are there on the site. Don't know if that works if you did not file DCF. If filing in the states, I believe that nvc sets the appointment.

Nope. CFO can be done after. If you go before you will need to go back to get the sticker, but that's easy as long as the seminar is done with.

There is an appointment system that is going into effect on the 15th of this month. I think the info is on heir website.

Oh ok. no wonder May does not have any available dates yet?? But I didnt see any news on their website regarding this 15th of the month.. So their appointment system will open on the 15th? Hope I dont ran out of slots!
