Scheduling an interview for K1 visa at US Embassy Manila

[luvcjan 0]

Hey guys, I am aware that it's so hard to get an appointment date right now at the USEM. I just want to know any ideas to those who were able to grab an appointment, like What time did you see the available schedule popped up? Was it during the day or evening? or Was it during the weekends? Been trying for many days now but no success . Your response is greatly appreciated Thanks!!!

If you think in terms of others, there might be a person who does not have all of their papers ready, has an appointment, and decides to cancel their appointment at the last moment to wait until their papers are ready. Cancellations are important right now when the schedule is so full with no open dates. So, one strategy (I've done this and others have as well) is to have your fiancée take the medical and wait in Manila. Perhaps stay with a friend or find an inexpensive apartment short term. Then, when you see an open date, get it, and you are in. Others will tell you to wait for the medical until an appointment is scheduled, but right now that strategy does not seem feasible when others are looking for a cancellation from someone else. These are my thoughts. Good luck, and keep refreshing--F5, F5.

Your asking questions that there are no concrete answers to. No one can predict when a date will open. There was a thread on this topic about a week ago with some good ideas to use to snag a date when one becomes available. Maybe it will work for you.

Hello, thank you for the reply. I'm already done with my medical 12 days ago. Thanks for the tips. God bless:)

You've been trying to get an appointment for 3 1/2 weeks? And what means are you using? Have you tried chrome monitor or C4C? If no earlier in the thread I listed other experiences by some with those two programs. Each got an appointment. Good luck

My sister is been trying for almost 2 months now still no appointment for her. I hope someone here can update us when there is an open spot. We are using the c4c but still no appointment for her.
