Hey, I got CC (nov 17 via phone), with supervisor review last Nov 4 and scan date last Sept 21.

The agent told my husband that at the end of each month the embassy sends a list of available appointments and there is often more people than appointments. It's first come first serve. So we may have to wait a month if I don't get scheduled in December. I also read from Manila Embassy's site that schedules for Nov 2016 are tight because of APEC Summit, so we may be in a long queue, if that's the case.

Anyone with CC and no interview sched in Manila Embassy here to confirm this? Thanks!

Just seen that our case is now "Ready" so I assume that means it has reached the US Embassy ready for my interview next month :)!

Didn't realise how stressful the very end part of this long journey is. Lots of stuff to organise and more things to pay for! Glad that it'll all be done by Christmas!

Great news! It's reached London. At least you know it's got there. Mine has said 'ready' since 4 November and the date hasn't changed so they haven't looked at it yet. Gathering more dust. I imagine the date will change when they get the medical results because they will have to access it then.

Hi everyone, HELP


Anyone had checklist email sent after confirming cc by phone?


we couldn't really understand so we are having our lawyer to check



while we will schedule your case for interview


they said that we need to submit w2 form financial evidence for 2015


however we did send it with the package ... ( for info my husband and i lived in S korea so the tax for 2015 from korea are included and we also sent them a letter from his new employer in US with his annual salary)



they are also stating TO not send anything back to NVC and to just give all the doc to the visa applicant who should present them to officer during interview



Anyone had this before :(((

Good morning I got CC on the November 14,2016 super scared of the embassy I'm going through. Is there any good point when you go through a tough embassy like Ghana. I sent in chats from 2012 through 2016. Phone logs, cards, 4 trips, insurance policies, pictures. And I have organized everything with table of contents. I am just wondering if there anything else I could do before hubby go to interview. I am a ball of nerves.

Thanks MrsBurgz, but because of the expedite they said the embassy will give us the interview date and to only contact the embassy and not NVC
