There always has to be a 1st. ;)

Maybe you will be the very first one whose case didn't show up in time for the interview, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hopefully there'll be no problems about that.. But ill just forget about it and be prepared for his interview..

I did set up cfo already on the nov 12th, with or without visa.. I heard some stories slots are very limited and people are not able to choose their dates because the day they like is gone

Have not heard any horror stories since the new appointment system was started almost 2 years ago.

As for your case file... obviously we think you are worrying too much ;)

Hi guys..

In worst case scenario, if our case is not yet READY by wednsday manila time, should i cancel interview appointment? Or should my fiance go to usem as scheduled and take a big risk?

Good thing we're not planning on going to interview until end of November as I'd like to be there when my fiance gets interviewed, but it would be comforting to know that the papers are there and ready for the next step. :( Everything has gone really smooth until this delay.

our case has been delayed since from uscis to nvc up until now.. I thought when we did schedule our interview without being ready on the status was affected by how fast it would take usem to receive our case, hearing ur story gave me relief. So it's just a matter of receiving or opening it on usem part i guess

The embassy has an electronic copy of your case file, they had it when your actual case file was still at NVC. I don't know if I would cancel, I lean towards keeping the interview, then if they say reschedule do it then... but at is me.

I would want to pursue with the schedule but it's just that i don't know what's gonna happen.. So i emailed USEM to inquire the whereabout of our case, and called them earlier, the person i talked to said he saw i emailed the US embassy and it was already escalated to immigration section, they don't have access about any info other than the interview schedule, case number, names and passport #...he said to keep my lines open for any replies from them, and it is my discretion if we would go to the scheduled interview or not... I have been researching over google who among has similar case as ours...But i still have 3 business days before my fiance's interview.. Ill just hope for the best

You are not the first that has pushed their interview close like this... and that is what I am basing "my gut feeling" on...
