Hello!

 

Does anyone here still waiting for their schedule interview appointment date at US Embassy Manila? I got CC July 18th. Our case was Pivot. 

Thats almost a month. Very long time for Manila. Usually, they are very prompt within 1 - 2 weeks to schedule embassy interview. Give NVC a jingle. Ask whats up. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/nvc-contact-information.html

Yes that is strange since you have been in the qeue. I would keep bugging them and ask for a supervisor to talk with. Again, I see an average of 1-2 weeks for most people after NVC case complete.

Thanks so much!! Il ask my husband to call them again later and ask for a supervisor.  Btw, we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary last May. So when I enter the US will that mean they will give me the 10 years instead of 2 years GC? Again, thanks for taking time in answering.  God bless!!
