Congrats and good luck!

For the 08/22, 08/24 interview slot, how many slots left? We are hoping to schedule the same date as yours but it's Saturday now in Manila that's why we have to wait til Monday.

I think there are about 12left. I waited for my fiancé to confirm the date and when I logged back in there there were 13 left.

edit: I just logged in and it shows 7 slots for 8/22 and 25 for 8/24

I see, thank you. I hope we can still get 1 slot for 08/22 on Monday.

Interview booked for Monday, August 22, 2016. Yesterday the date changed from Availability from the beginning of the month to the 22nd of August overnight. Registered now for St Luke, mailed off duplicate petition packet yesterday to the PI. Once she gets that, she can set up CFO after reviewing everything in detail. FYI - Cost me $221 to FEDEX that packet to the PI. If I'd known, I would have scanned everything and did a dropbox so she could print it on her end but I had it all packaged and ready to go. OH! And packet in TRANSIT!!

Congrats!!! my fiancé will be there on 8/22 as well. I sent a duplicate packet and some other docs for $62 using DHL. Had to mail it since she needed the original wet signature on the affidavit of support forms

Why do you have to wait? Mine just scheduled hers from Manila online from the PI for the 22nd and it's Saturday there. All you do is go online, register, enter all your info and set up the appointment. Don't rush, double checkeverything before you hit enter. Make sure you also click the correct country. Also, do not attempt to do it from a phone.

That's what i assumed it would cost as well. So I was a little surprised myself, but I didn't have time to hunt down DHL. I also sent it express delivery as well.

YES! I saw they have the same date appointment as well. My fiance and daughter will be there. I figure.... If they all pass the interview on Monday the 22nd, they should have their visa's available for pickup that Friday the 26th. If that is the case, I may book the flight early for either the 27th or 28th.

I sent mine on a Monday. dhl said delivery by Monday and it was there Friday. if all goes well my fiancé will pick her visa up at a 2go in Cebu. not sure how long that will take. maybe catch a flight the following week

We just got out case number this morning 07/29 so it was already 9:30 pm there in PI. When we payed the visa fee online and applied ds-160, we have to wait for the next banking day to schedule the interview. So that means we have to wait for Monday, which would be Sunday here.

3:00pm - midnight BPI Next banking day One day after receipt purchase date and after 11:00am

If only we were given the case number on the 28th, when they received our case, we could have scheduled our interview on the 22nd as well. Anyway, at least we are still close to just scheduling the interview, hoping to still have an available slot for the 22nd so we can all have the same date!

NO!!! You don't have to wait!! Once you get your # you can go print up your receipt info and pay immediately. You have to wait 4 hours afterwards (upon paying for your visa(s) before you can schedule an appointment.
