Well after a very long eternity of suffering through this extensive wait we finally received an interview (just within the hour) on the immigration website status page in Manila.

Case Number: MNL2007XXXXXX

Visa Classification: K3

St. Luke's Appointment Date: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 (7:00:00 AM)

Embassy Appointment Date: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 (7:30:00 AM)

Of course we prefer the CR1, it has yet to kick an interview and we have yet to receive any paperwork for either cases.

If anyone knows how we can request a CR1 interview on this date, now would be a great time to chime in and let us know :) We would greatly appreciate it!

At the time of your interview & if your CR case file is there at the Embassy, you can ask the consul if they'll let. I've heard about a couple of applicants were given the CR visa instead of K-3 but there's no guarantees.
