Hi all! New here. I filed Jan 2020 IR-5 for my parents @ DQ’d April 2021. I submitted expedite request on Sept 3rd and got approved on Oct 25th. NVC notified me that they will forward the files to MNL embassy and will receive IL from them. Hopefully to get it soon.

Hi! I know your post is from last year but i have a question regarding the expedite request.. We have the same reason for both parents.. I wonder how did you sent your expedite request to the NVC?. Thank you! Looking forward to hear it from you 😁

Hello. Pls help.!

 

My parent’s CEAC status says Ready since Aug 2022 but no luck of getting the appointment interview letter. Should I proceed of going through scheduling my own appointment at cgi? Also, is it going to be a problem on doing that? Are they looking that appointment letter at US Embassy Manila? 
 

what are the requirements they are looking at st.lukes for medical?

New to this site and I'm same case as most of you. I petitioned(IR5) for both of my parents back in 2019. PD July 2019 and DQ Nov 2020. I've been waiting since then and finally decided to take some actions.

 

Here are the recent updates:

1/25/2022 - Requested Expedite process in the email.

1/26/2022 - Request under review

1/27/2022 - US embassy accepted the expedited processing

1/28/2022 - Received cancellation of interview(Previous emailed said to ignore this)

1/31/2022 - Expedited process approved

 

 

Now my questions are .... 

1. What's next on this? Will I get another email saying about the interview date?

2. I'm reading here that other scheduling the interview by themselves? Will that be the same case for me?

3. Both of my parents are 60 and 61 years old. Do I need Health insurance for them before they arrive here?

4. I'm reading that CFO is not required for 60 and above just need to register? How's that work? How about for PDOS?

5. Is it a good idea to do the Medical(St. Luke) now while waiting for the interview date?

6. I noticed a changed of status in ceac website .. what's the meaning of this?

I noticed in ceac website. My petition is now in Manila(previously at NVC)

and also when I checked https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

It's now say "In Transit: Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.". but I haven't got any interview date.

 

 

 

 

 

hi, do you mind sharing the reason you put for expediting? My mom is 78 years old and I’d like to apply to expedite her interview. She already DQ’d.

 

thanks

@amaada a lot of people say it’s for assisting/seeing grand children. We were waiting and waiting during Covid and this worked. I joined a fb group that helped me a lot. I can’t find the exact fb group cuz I can’t remember but try something like this one https://www.facebook.com/share/gbi3TxjtexKoAD3B/?mibextid=K35XfP
