Manila embassy big backlog spoke to them today

[Bernie4Bien 0]

I spoke to the Manila embassy today. She said they have NO appointments available for june, july, aug, and the 1st two weeks of sept. They will not mail out our packet 4 until the appointments are available and the backlog is gone.

She said we might get an end of sept appointment and maybe the packet 4 in one month. My papers arrived june 4th.

BIG delays..............BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!

Epiphany, you are really just causing panic for no reason, everyone waits from 3-4 months , after the embassy receives there information.

HUH

Did you read this post????

Arrived same day and IM 2.5 months behind them. My papers arrived the same day.

.............

Our papers also arrived on the 4th of June at the Embassy, and how come, I already have my medical and interview dates (taken from the embassy visa appointment website).

Don't tell me, this is just a false alarm. I already booked our tickets.

USEM received our papers May 18th but we are scheduled days later than those received on June 4th (they are scheduled ahead of us). Maybe when they got your papers even if it is on June 4th, just in time they run out of appointment slots.....I guess they picked it in random.....things could happen.....

:o ... weird, as i checked the website for the interview sked, it doesn't shows our sked already instead it says "case # is not found???".... I do hope "Eddie&Mary"'s comment about this topic is RIGHT.

I just called USE, and asked them again for my medical and interview date. They told me the same thing . The medical is on the 27th of July and interview is on the 3rd of August. They are having a problem with their site and therefore all case numbers entered says the same thing"Case # not found". So if you already received a date, then that is when you appear. Excuse me, I have to go and make some reservations!!

USEM received our papers May 18th but we are scheduled days later than those received on June 4th (they are scheduled ahead of us). Rea and I have the same medical and interview schedules but I think USEM did not received our papers on the same day.

So maybe they run out of appointment slots even if yours arrived on June 4th.....I guess they picked it in random.....things could happen.....or maybe you did not make it to the cut-off period.....

And I agree with Intelek, USEM told us that we have to wait for 3 to 4 months but we were surprised when we learned we already have a schedule.

The important thing is that USEM have your papers, it's in Manila now.....hope you will have your schedule on September....it will come when you least expect it....

Charlie, we have been ready for the plane for a long time already. I am just happy that we have a date scheduled. I will let her know to get ready for MJ's call. Thanks, and good luck to all of us! I also hope that those who do not have an appointment, get theirs soon. I know it is not easy to sit and wait, knowing your papers are there and that they could assign an interview date and don't. Be patient, you are almost there!

Good to hear that someone else checked. I have moved forward and I am getting ready for the big day. I am sure we are all waiting for that special day. I just can't wait for this to be over. I miss a good nights sleep!

Hey, Eddie

Just wanted to ask you a few questions. You seem to know your stuff. My case left NVC 6-20-07. When do you suggest i begin calling the embassy and at what number. I've seen you mention the 202-663-1225 #. Does this work?

Also, how long after they receive it do they give you an appt? I'm hoping for a late August or early Sept interview for Aubrey.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks Eddie

Jim

i know how this process seems like forever of waiting. from noa1 to the interview... 2-3 months of wait is normal and i can tell you, you guys are more than lucky this year than those of us who filed last year (the IMBRA victim). a lot of us got an RFE and even if some of our case has been in the embassy already, they sent it back to the nvc for this imbra rfe #######. i bet gary and luz are one of those who waited for a year for their interview, i think sheriff uling was one of the rfe victim too lol... we know how hard this is no doubt and im positive that somehow that day will come and it will be a joyous one. who knows your sked will be on sept. i was one of those who felt so unfair that those who processed after me got an early sked than i am. lol i tend to laugh at it now but heck i was dying then lol... but its how the embassy works good luck to you!!! hang in there
