Petition received at Manila Embassy

[orion44 0]

I called the embassy number this evening that is in Sheriff Ullings signature and got ahold of a very friendly and helpful lady who told me that my petition was received there on Feb. 28. It is odd that my letter from the NVC is dated March 1st and says that my petition would be sent to Manila in the next week or so, but that doesn't matter as long as it's there. I was told that no interview date was set yet, but it could be as early as May. She told me the average wait was 100 to 120 days. I am so jazzed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were approved last Feb 27 and until now, still no news from NVC (though they say they got our case). I'm giving it Monday for my fiancee to receive a letter from them, otherwise, it's time to make him call and write instead of me doing it for us... Oh I just can't wait till it's forwarded here in Manila...

Wow! we remember how great that felt when we got our interview at the Manila Embassy. But what a stressful day it was. Best wishes on your important day.

thanks everyone. After all that waiting for the NOA2, stressing that it was sent the day after Thanksgiving, the Holiday slow-down, it is exciting to see this thing get some traction. I called my fiancee she was excited too! Does anyone know when the May interviews will be announced? I would love to be on that list.

Hi, we have the same date that the US enbassy received our case, Lets keep our fingers crossed that we'll get our interview on May. When I called the embassy last week I been told to wait 90-180 days for the pre interview notice and packet 4 to be received.

Mae, If you look at the timelines in the Manila Embassy Interview Thread, 2 weeks is not nearly enough time to get notification from the NVC after the NOA 2. 3 weeks was the early average and 4 weeks was the norm. Once you get the "Letter of conformation" form the Embassy, you will see that any dates the NVC gives you over the phone are most likely inaccurrate anyway. Be patient. Ken & Maria

we were approved last Feb 13 but my fiance only got the letter from the USCIS that they forwarded the case to NVC last week. Hmm...we were delayed...our papers are processed in CSC...I am from the Philippines as well.
