Getting an interview with at the Embassy in Manila has become a joke. I feel like I am fighting for scraps and getting very tired of this game. I have tried the C4C and still nothing. They really need to give up some info on what the problem is and when they are going to fix it. I paid extra money to use Rapid Visa because they were supposed to know these things and they have been great and I would use them again for all my visa needs but even they have no clue what is going on. My Fiancé and I are on the site day in and day out trying to get a date...I have called the Embassy and they are no help. This is the dumbest process I have ever seen.....ok ....I am done with my rant now. Can ANYONE give me any idea of what's going on or when it will be fixed....SOMETHING!!!!

Well it's been said many times but it is really the influx of those who have asked for their cases be expedited because of Yolanda. Some of us here just made it past when Yolanda happened. Our cases took 120 to 140 days to get to USEM for our interview. Those cases that are expedited now are getting approved and sent to USEM in less than 30 days. Then the wait begins for the embassy interview date. Overall, they are getting adjudicated faster then ours did. Seems fair?

Believe me when I say the system is not broken as it was never designed to handle this many applicants. But, having said that when your interview comes up and if you attend with your fiancé then you will experience the hundreds of people who pass through the embassy daily. Some of us petitioners joined our fiancé and experienced first hand what the embassy is facing. It makes one have appreciation and a little more patience.

The best thing that you can do at this time is make sure you have all your paperwork completed and no missing documents. That your CENOMAR, NBI, BC are all current and correct with no spelling errors for names.

BTW, you have learned the hard lesson.... No one can speed their process through USEM to attain a visa earlier than others. It just doesn't happen and I for one am glad that the "line is the line" and there is no butting in. Also, calling the embassy will not get you anymore answers for appointments then what you can get on the web pages as they are looking at the same schedule as you, so it's a waste of your time.

The best tool you have is C4C or Page Monitor for Chrome. Good luck you will be there soon.
