got our NVC letter last friday June 8, as per the letter , our application was forwarded to the US Embassy in Manila on June 5

now we are just waiting for the US embassy in Manila to nofity my fiance' and go from there, i am ready with my affidavit of support and other docs, just need it to be notarized and then fedex it to her in Manila

what is all that DS forms, i am not aware u can jump the gun and send docs to the embassy ahead of time, we pretty much just leave it at it and just let time and the US govt take its course with regards to the application, so far so good, no snafu or fubar along the way yet

we are hoping this will be all done in the next 5 months

cheers to all,

I just spoke with the agency who helped me prepare the initial forms we submitted with the application and they said interview dates in Manila are on average 90 - 120 days after the date it was sent from the NVC to the embassy....

That seems like a REALLY long time to me, is there that many applications to process?

Don't feel bad, looks like an August interview for Marlon and that's in Jamaica which normally is faster!

I plan on calling the Embassy tonight (Tuesday am there) to see if they have our application yet.

I called this: 202 663 1225 then press 1,0,0 to talk to someone. I found it in the UK forum. It took about 10 minutes to get through but the lady asked for my case # and said "good news looks like you have an interview date". The UK embassy costs a lot to call, so I went this route and it was free due to my free long distance on my cell!

I wouldn't trust an agency. It may be a canned response. I hope so for both of us. I am hoping for a late July/early August interview.

I just spoke the the call center for the USE in Manila....

The USE will send out a packet with an interview date, medical appointment date and a listing of ALL fees associated with this phase of the process within 60 days of receipt of the application. How long after that the actual interview takes place is still anybodies guess

The call center for the Embassy in Manila cost $18 US and they allow you 2 calls....I used my first one tonight, I will try to force myself to wait at least one month before I call again

I wasn't aware that Immigration was supposed to be a "Revenue Producing Entity" for the State Department...

What did I offer to do??

Bill,,, call Akaka, maybe can get it for the first week of July. "just joking"Brah......

Mr. Akaka said he could set us up for June 29th, but Joan said she would be doing laundry that day.

Bill sorry for that, thought your post said "contact me". Now that I look back, it says " contact Akaka". my bad. Getting older, must be going blind and a little senile.
