Even my hubby call last week to NVC they said.." your interview will happen according to where you are on their predetermined list of people who are to be interviewed by the consulate...
They will contact you days ahead of the interview to give you time to get prepared...

Looking at this stats, can't help but regret. We should have selected Manila  for my Interview. But Oh well, have waited long enough - 7 months to be exact - so I guess will have to wait a little longer lol

your US passport and a second form of identification i guess. i think afternoons are for US citizen visits. please let us know how it goes. as far as i know non us-citizens cannot go without an appointment.

So I can say my trip to the embassy was worthless. I don’t know if I went to the wrong section. But when I went, I was only able to talk to a lady in the counter outside and she basically said what we’ve been hearing from NVC till now. She said we have to wait till they send us an email. To those who went before, were you actually able to go inside and talk to someone?

My husband went in July and Im nt sure if he went inside or he spoke to someone outside but he was also told that they haven't received my file yet from NVC and that once they do they'd schedule right away. I was and still am confused on how the system works honestly but anyway my husband will be here in AD soon and might visit the embassy again to ask!

I guess we'll just have to wait for that magical email at the end of the day seems like there is nth we can do
