Our petition has been received by the US Embassy in Manila and we didnt have to pay $18.00 to call the embassy to get such information. Petitioner can call directly the Department of State (202)663-1225 Press 1, press 0, press 0 to inquire if your petition is already in Manila. Be ready with the case number. To get the interview date ahead, call the DOS also. Hope this info helps. $18.00 is not too much but , if we can call free then the better :thumbs:

Goodluck everyone

Removal of Conditions :

August 16, 2010 - Petition received by USCIS Vermont Center

August 20, 2010 - NOA1 received

October 4, 2010 - Biometrics

January 3, 2011 - Permanent 10 yr. Green Card Received.

Yup. It works for all Embassies and filers. They can't necessarily tell you WHY or HOW things are going, but they can tell you want information is entered into the computer system at the Embassy.

1-22-07 DHS cashes the I-129F check

1-23-07 NOA1 Notice Date

5-3-07 NOA2!!! Two approval emails received at 11:36am

5-10-07 Arrived at NVC/5-14-07 Left NVC - London-bound!

5-17-07??? London receives?

5-20-07 Packet 3 mailed

5-26-07 Packet 3 received

5-29-07 Packet 3 returned, few days later than planned due to bank holiday weekend

6-06-07 Medical in London (called to schedule on May 29)

6-11-07 "Medical in file" at Embassy

6-14-07 Resent packet 3 to Embassy after hearing nothing about first try

6-22-07 DOS says "applicant now eligible for interview," ie: they enter p3 into their system

6-28-07 Help from our congressional representative gives us new interview date: July 6
