I filed for my parents IR5 on June 2019, got DQ on June 2020, and then got scheduled for the interview on November 12. They both have the same appointment time.

When I called US Embassy 2 weeks ago, they helped me create a profile on ustraveldocs.com/ph where you can set up how the visa will be delivered. It also shows to set up an appointment. I used to be able to see that section of schedule the appointment right after selecting preference for visa delivery, since yesterday, it’s giving me error message. Hopefully this is a good sign.

@ljmp_10 I would wait couple of days to set up my parents profile too but yes hopefully its a good sign!  anyway, have you tried checking your parents on case in https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx and does it show if the case is now changed from NVC to MNL Embassy? 

 

I know it would take time on mine since the approval was yesterday but it still shows :

YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT: NVC

 

 

and thank you @Lorenza .
