Yes CC date Nov 1st and Interview date Jan 17th 2019.

I had filed for 130 way back in July 2017. It took a while due to no name on birth certificate.

I also sent an email enquiry to NVC , and after a week I got an email with the interview date. Actually NVC had not sent the file to Mumbai consulate till last week(as per an email from Mumbai consulate).So not really sure what priority date they use.

 

Thanks

AKulkarni

 

Thanks @Akulkarni. That is helpful. I think they use the CC date, but who knows what they use in reality. We filed I-130 back in Sep 2017 as well, so our PD is from Sep-2017. CC is 14-Nov. Waiting for interview date, hopefully in Jan  Good luck on your next steps. Keep us updated.

 Great news! It is clear that the priority date is indeed factored in scheduling.

HI,

Quick question regarding the paperwork for interview. Do we need to send the whole set again, like 1-864, bank statements, citizenship certificate etc?

 

Thanks

All originals and a copy of what you sent to NVC is needed at the Consulate as a baseline. You may need to add a few more docs to support your case as well.

Update guys! 

 

For all the parents that undergo sputum in the Philippines,  after at least two weeks of arrival in the US,  the public health nurse will visit your place and will schedule your parent/s for a checkup in a clinic, it is free of charge. 

 

They did another X-ray and compared to the X-ray conducted in the Philippines, it the same result so my mom had to do sputum test for 3 again. Today was the last day. 

 

They also did blood work, they told us we will know the result of the blood work within a week and if the blood work is ok then they will close the case. 

Hello @Lane O - Don't know if you are still active on this forum, but if you are, will appreciate an update as we are likely to be in similar situation. Did your mom's blood work come out OK? What was the process - was your mom seen by a physician in addition to the tests? Also, did your mom have a history of old TB? Sorry for lots of questions, but this just adds anxiety to an already stressful process.

My Mons Interview was successful , Her Green Card was approved. We have to wait for the passport now,it will take around 5days.

When she went for medical they gave her one more sealed copy that needs to be given in US at the port of entry.

 

Thanks

I just read this now. 

 

My mom doesn't have a TB history. 

 

They just did a sputum test, for 3 days every morning. 

 

Actually, I haven't heard from them since last year.

 

No news is good news.

All you need is the A-number and the DOS case number to pay. 

 

I just received an update that they already mailed my mom GC today.

Hello LaneO - which site I can use to track my mom GC if it's on process now?

 

Thank you!

@Lane O @Cherry & Mama

 

hello! My mom’s interview will be this Friday 2/8. Manila US Embassy. Does she need to pay something? I know there’s an immigration fee that I can pay when she gets here. Im wondering if there will be more fee that she need to pay at the Embassy during the interview?

 

Thank you!

We got my mom result and she passed. They gave us a letter and they say if we ever have a problem in immigration just show the letter.  Basically, the letter is just saying my mom doesn't have TB.

Hi! No fee to pay in the Manila US embassy. Just a 220 USD for the green card.
