Congrats to everyone! My SO is going for her medical exam tomorrow. She's had the xrays and blood tests last week. She will call the consulate tomorrow and arrange the interview! We spoke with them already and they told us they can interview her in one week if she would like!

It seems things are a little different :thumbs: when you get through with the CSC. :angry:

YAY!!! I called the department of state and got our interview date!!! Packet 4 was just sent today!!!! JULY 3!!! I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited ;)

:dance: :dance: :dance:Congrats!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Did you call the Embassy?

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

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!

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 :whistle:

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

Wow, thats HIGH!!! Seriously, call the Department of state at that #. Its just the cost of a long distance phone call. They can tell you interview dates etc.
