I emailed IVManilaReplies@state.gov stating that i did not want to pursue the US citizenship claim and wanted to proceed with the K2 process. apparently, it takes about 5 business days to get a reply. hopefully, they can email me the certification or attach this certification to my fiance's file at the embassy. crossing my fingers on this because the call center rep i talked to would not transfer me to a vice consul and said i needed to email only.

Crossing my fingers for you. Yes they will reply within 5 business days. I did email them regarding my mom's IR-5 and they email me back exactly 5 days. Good luck! Edited by JRluvsLhyn

One couple succeeded at it. They took a big risk but they gambled and won. I don't recommend it unless you are crunched for time, but here is what they did: Applicants with children cannot go on Th

^^^ Correct. Just use your MNL case number to be admitted into St. Lukes for the medical. Take a copy of your USCIS petition approval too. No problem.

It's like trying to play the lottery...

Did you post this from the States at 3:13 AM - so, it would have been 3:13 in the afternoon in Manila...

There is no rhyme nor reason to when dates are released.

Would USCIS be releasing dates over the weekend?

Supposedly, dates are released at the beginning of the week ---

Wife and I have been on line for 3 weeks and have seen a single thing. Now using C4C from Firefox to refresh the screen every 30 secs...this being a slave to the monitor is insane!!!

Any input that you can provide will be appreciated!

I posted around 2am Central US time. My fiancé & I had already planned on attacking their website this coming Monday because that is the most popular day that we've seen people keep getting a date.

Start refreshing your screen around 7am Philippines time and don't stop until around 11am their time. Goodluck you guys!

Indeed, it is. You posted that there were 40 appointments available...why didn't you get one?

Understandably, the situation on the ground in the PI isn't good due to the influx of expedited petitions. The way that it is being handled is deplorable. You'd think that USCIS/State Department would come up with a better way of managing this situation.
