130(201b) Petition of Alien Relative of a U.S.Citizen

[Loshiel 2]

Does anybody here from Philipines got scheduled for visa interview for I-130?

My son became Documentarily Qualified last August 17, 2020 but this is already Nov. 14 today but I haven't heard any email from NVC for the schedule interview date. Is it normal?

There is a Presidential Ban on immigrant visas until next year, you won’t hear anything until then.

Depends on the beneficiary's age. Per the relevant proclamations, the beneficiary might be exempt.

Hi, our case was documentary qualified August 2020 as well. We submitted a request for an expedite, which was approved in September. 

I had my interview with the embassy on November 6.

Son is exempt from the ban, but what is the usual time between DQ and interview at Manila?  If an expedite as per post above still takes almost 3 months, I’m assuming OP’s wait is probably normal?

No fees for the expedite request. We sent an email to nvcexpedite@state.gov before our case was documentarily qualified. 
 

and yes, my embassy is in Manila.
