This means that your case is now with the NVC and will be sent the next time they send other files to their different consulates hopefully.  This is done every two weeks. Last one was on the 4th of September so the next should be the 18th or 19th max

Oh sweet! So we don't have to do anything, just wait for the consulate to contact us yeah?

Got our NVC# this morning - our NOA2 date was August 28th.

 

The person on the phone said they should be sending it out in the next couple of days, so hopefully that's everyone here and we can all go off together!

It depends on what the Australian consulate demands. 

 

For the Nigerian consulate where I'd be having my interview,  I was able to make my appointment and fill the DS 160. Even without the P3.

My NOA2 was 8/10 and NVC case assigned 8/28.  Every time I check with the NVC, they all tell me that there is no set processing time, no scheduled send time, and that you can't compare anyone's timelines as they are all different.  Very frustrating because we have been very proactive and have had everything together for the interview for quite some time.  I'm worried that we need to reschedule the interview time and our flights.  The government is quite ridiculous in how inefficient they are.  What's the point of answering phones if you can't answer anything?

Just called NVC (was on hold for 40 minutes) and the sweet lady told me my case was just received today and visa and invoice number assigned. She provided the visa and invoice number. Also told me when the embassy received it they will notify me and my fiancee.

I would say 2-3 weeks. They will be sending batches every 2 weeks. Your case will prolly be in transit in 10/2, and will be ready in 1-2 days.

Yay! Our NOA2 was the day after yours. Hopefully I’ll get ours tomorrow. Best wishes for the rest of your journey.

You do know that you can begin by paying the interview fee, schedule your interview, complete the DS-160 and submit, complete your medical and CFO. Get your BC, CENOMAR and NBI clearance so you are ready when your interview date arrives. If everything falls into place you could be on your way in 30 days. One couple did it in 22 days from case number to interview approval.

 

Congratulations on getting your MNL case number.

*not "visa" = but case number

 

Congratulations.

You booked flights and you don't have an approval. Oy Vey. I hope you have flight insurance.

 

Here is the recommendation contained on the checklist.

Do not finalize arrangements for travel to the United States, dispose of properties, or resign from your job until a visa has been issued and delivered to you.

 

If you have the case number and you are not working with scheduling your interview, completing the medical and completing CFO then you are wasting time. I have posted this through out this thread.

 

Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get done. To smooth that trail for you I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps he includes the what, when and why to completing the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

Next you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread are processing through another country they would be hard pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

Here is the Packet 3 letter.

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing.
