About obtaining your case number from NVC... Try to call on the 7th day. You might be in luck because we got ours on the 7th day and I started to track the case file thereafter. The best time to call NVC with little to zero traffic is first thing they open in the morning and 10 pm or 11 pm onwards EST time.

 

Like a crazy woman, I stalked the tracker on a daily basis and found out the exact day the case file was marked as 'In Transit' and 'Ready'. Once it shown as 'Ready', I took the initiative to e-mail my embassy's consular section to inquire about the Packet 3, which they promptly sent to me and I completed swiftly to send them the payment and appointment confirmation pages 

 

I wish everyone all the best  

 

@Estibaliz I can't wait to hear about your NOA2 

Wow, thank you for the advice, so not only you were proactive but you  really got lucky there as well!

Oops! I meant the DS-160 and appointment confirmation pages

I was just thinking...

I have to say I love being around all of you March people, sharing this whole journey. I love my April people too, so calm, patient and cute, but you are like that older sibling you can look up to and follow their steps 😊

I might have been a March filer too, but we decided to wait till I left the States to include the i94 in the package... So with me leaving the 26th, Gary being busy with work and USPS delaying things, we ended up in April. 

Maybe things do happen for a reason

You're in good hands here! And you're a March filer in heart!

I can only speak for me, but I'm happy our path crossed! :*

Woooow, you really went on the fast lane with the NVC!  
I hope we'll get ours this week, so I can finally run to the medical. I care less about pack 3, I just want this to be done!

I'm sure you'll get your case number super soon  I cannot schedule an interview till early August because my interview date is August 24th (only date my embassy assigned ). I'm sure most of you will get the visa and fly to the US before me.

I'm expecting my interview in about the 3rd week of August. IF things go smoothly.

What's your plan for flying?

If your embassy has plenty of available slots, that would be possible

 

I'll be resigning mid September and flying out at the end of October as my lease ends. Hopefully it works out.

Oh.  It is quite cold there in the winter.  I was there early this year and everyday I'm all wrapped up.  Haha!  Summer there is the best.  It's not as hot as here in the PH, the air is a bit cold, so it's not irritatingly hot.  Spring is a bit cold, maybe Baguio cold but you'll be amazed when the trees and the flowers transition from nothing to green or red or orange leaves.  And the tulips! Oh, the tulips!  They are so beautiful.

 

Morton Arboretum is wonderful.  You can have a small wedding there.  It's very nice and serene and fresh with the nature surrounding you.  

Wooow!  I can't wait! There are so many things I want to visit in Chicago 😋 Including foodtripin 😂 I can't wait! ❤️ Good thing I may arrive there around November, I still have time to prepare for the very cold winter! I may need to pack lots of sweaters 😂😂😂

@TearsOfBabylon and @Estibaliz I'm very happy for this sisterhood/brotherhood among all of us March filers. It's something I'll always cherish

Me too! I like the spirit!
Hopefully we'll kind of stick together for the nervewrecking next step: AOS

I'm pretty sure we all will!!! I'm off to triple check the completeness of and organize the bonafide relationship evidence for my interview.
