You can print the US Embassy appointment schedule and bring it with her for her medical. She can have an early medical (before July 3). She can also ask for an appointment packet pick-up at SLEC by calling SLEC (although their lines are always busy). Good uck!

Thanks for the advice. i really need to get my medical done earlier than what the embassy scheduled. I have three teenage daughters all coming with me. i have to pick a date where all of us will not be having our period since i know that St Lukes would not let us have our medical if that happened. Now what do you think is the probability of all of us not having our period in the same week? :unsure: Gosh! i would be all stressed out all the month of June trying to find that date. :wacko: I am starting to get all my other docs too.

thanks!

Has anyone had their interview scheduled before Manila even gets the papers from the NVC?

The NVC info line told me the case was forwarded on May 22, I checked the embassy interview appointment page last night and it tells me Kathlene's appointment is JUNE 6th ! ! !

Can this be right? I still have a lot of the papers I was going to send to her still here with me, pay stubs, phone records, etc. so I could sent them the most up-to-date information for her interview.

If this is the right date, how far back would it put us to reschedule?

I had been looking and being lucky to get scheduled in late July or August and then I see this and wonder what is going on!

Ako gugma ko GWAPA asawa Kathlene!

(I love my BEAUTIFUL wife Kathlene!)

The info line also says my papers were sent on the 22nd, but I have until June 28th to prepare for the interview. Yes your date if probably correct. NVC schedules the CR-1 interviews, not Manila. And the consulate keeps a number of slots open for this, so you just got "lucky" to be scheduled so early. I don't know how long a delay asking to be rescheduled might result in. If it were me, I'd hustle to get the paperwork ready and 3-day it to my wife.

OK, so if we try for June 6th, how much earlier does she need to get her medical, so they will get everything to the embassy in time?

If she gets there next week and has her medical by the end of the week, will that be soon enough?

Medical should be done at least a week before the scheduled interview. Earlier the better in case there's problem with the applicant's medical results. If you re-scheduled it may take another 2-3 months of waiting... Good Luck and Congrats!

Yes, your interview date is probably right. I also got a big surprise when i checked the embassy website last May 23 that I was already scheduled for medical and interview. I also thought I would be waiting for 3-4 months since our petition was only approved this month. Wow! things have really moved so fast for our petition this month. We got NOA2 approval, NVC processed and forwarded to USE Manila, found out my medical and interview date, and got my packet 4 in just 3 weeks! I hardly have gotten over my euphoria on getting the NOA2 email. And now all of these things happening so fast! I thought there would be another long lull of inactivity till i hear from US embassy just like what we experienced from our NOA1 to getting the NOA2, it took more than 3 months for us. Now i feel like I am not ready yet and doesn't have much time. Lucky for us though, at least we still have more than a month to prepare for my interview.

Yes, I got my packet 4 now. I called SLEC yesterday to request to pick up my packet 4 from them. Mawi of SLEC told me to call back on MOnday to see if i could pick it up. Then, this morning DHL delivered my packet 4! I was still sleeping and got annoyed that somebody was ringing my doorbell. But I smiled so big when it was the DHL guy delivering my packet. Wow, he can wake me up anytime! Not even my fiancee can make me wake up early in the morning. :lol:

But we still don't have the hardcopy of our NOA2. :( I'm wondering where is it now?
