latest Visa Bulletin regression

[PhiLandShiR 18]

Good Morning To All,

I see the June Visa Bulletin shows the priority date regressing back to May of 2012 from Sept of 2013.

This brings up my question.

On the 19th of this month, NVC sent my sister-in-law's I-130 visa application to Manila.

This was done under an expedite request as she will age out at the end of July this year.

Because of the expedite request, they did not schedule her interview, this is being left up to the Embassy to do.

Once June 1st rolls in, her priority date will no longer be current as the date has regressed.

Will Manila promptly send her application back or will they grant her an interview?

I called Manila and her files have not yet arrived.

I have confirmed with NVC that the file was in fact sent out on the 19th.

Any thoughts?

Wait another week, then contact the embassy again as it takes two weeks on average for them to "receive it" (it could be there now but sitting in a stack waiting to be entered). Personally I don't think the embassy will send it back.

I hope not...

I was really hopping to confirm an interview date before the June first roll back...

Ya know, if I saw an interview date that looked like it might work I wouldn't hesitate to grab it up now... can always cancel it later if things change.

I have tried to do that but always get the No Appointments Available response.

keep trying I guess...

Since you expedited, have you tried emailing the embassy directly? You can email them at IVMNLAppointments@state.gov

It's a long shot since the embassy can't really do much without your casefiles and only a day left in May for interviews but why not.

I called last night.

I was told to send an email to IVManilaReplies@state.gov and do what they said.

No idea how long it would take to get that reply...

It takes a few days for them to reply via email. Good luck though.

Based on my experience, the phone people have no power to do anything. They can give out information and that's about it.

And they only read from public information on the website. Faster to do it yourself.

I would love to do it myself however every time I get to the last page to schedule an interview, it says none are available.

I mean it says that time slots are available on the left side but it will not allow me to proceed.

I wonder if this is because the case has not been entered in to the system yet...
