After calling the State Department every day for the past 2-1/2 weeks I finally got Maria's interview date and on Friday the 13th. :yes::dance::yes: It turned out to be a lucky day for us. Maria's interview date is September 13th and the exam is on September 6th. I hope that those still waiting will soon receive good news on their K-1's.

First of all, congratulations! Secondly, I see you called the DOS to get an interview date, is this something that can only be done with applications from the Phillipines or from other countries as well? I thought you had to send in a few things to the embassy before they would give you an interview date...

Thanks! No, I think you can call the DOS for any applications that are sent. I waited about 2 weeks after I received our case number from the NVC before calling the DOS every day. We did not have to send in anything to them. The US embassy in Manila received our case and on July 6th the DOS told me that our case was qualified for an interview date. Hopefully you will get some news on your case soon. Good luck to the both of you.
