Aloha! 😊

Congratulations Aloha. Just got our case number from NVC on May 5th. Right now if we go to CEAC website it still shows case still at NVC. Fiance is going to Manila on Monday to do the NBI and Cenomar. Only have one thing that can slow down our interview and that is a police clearance from Qatar where she worked at for more than 6 months out of country. Thanks for all the information and the links that you previously put here for Philippine beneficiaries as have told my fiance of this. Good luck and we are going to look forward to visiting you in Hawaii.

That's what I did.  I don't have interview appointment when I undergone my medical examination on March 29, 2017. I just presented the screenshot of my case status READY with the case number on it, along with the other requirements for medical exam.

 

After I passed the medical exam, I paid the visa fee on March31,2017. The same day, I made an appointment for my interview. April11 , had my inteview and was approved 😀 

How long did your medical take at SLEC? Did your medical take the 2 days that as stated for the length of time for the medical?

The NBI might take a while. My fiance had to wait almost 3 weeks for hers. (she's getting it this week on the 11th) 

Apparently when you put travel abroad as the purpose it creates a hit automatically sometimes. She definitely has no criminal record, so it's not concerning, just an FYI.

Only one day. I was there 3am, I got the number 1 queue 🤣🤣🤣

I finished all the medical proccess around 9am, then was asked if I wanna wait for the result that day. I sais Yes. Then I came back at SLEC around 1pm, had my vaccines, then wait for the result. I got it at 3pm 😀

Thanks! 

It depends it says up to 6 weeks. However, on here the average is around 20 days for them to receive it, so around 25 days or so for the number. I'm waiting and I'm at around 20 or 21 days. Hopefully, this week!

Definitely faster than mine! I'm still waiting and my NOA2 was April 17th. 

 

When you got your NVC number did you call and request a higher up or did you get it immediately?

My fiance called them on March 20, case not created yet. He called again on 21th and on 23th he got our case number.

Hi, 

Anyone from December who has not got any response? We filed on December 22nd but status still say your case was received but lot of March filers have got their cases approved already. Is it something to be worried of?

Since it is different to cases some got approved some still waiting on their NOA2 still but Yes there's some early December filler but still waiting on their NOA2, if you pass from 5 months then you start calling to the USCIS to see what's wrong with your Case, now you are in a normal process Time.

Not very many March people have gotten approved. Just a handful, I'm a December filer and got approved 3 weeks ago. Some are still waiting, I think their may be some November Filers still waiting too.
