Not that hard to set an appointment. You can always get a slot anytime. The hardest to book is for the interview and CFO.

Back in in the days, for as long as you have the case number (MNL CASE#) it is okay to walk in at St; Lukes to have your medical done. Nowadays we need to make an appointment and registration online. Is it really necessary to have a proof of interview appointment letter as a requirement or could it be a letter with MNLA CASE NUMBER on it? What type of letter? ex. is it possible to use the front page of CEAC wherein it not only states its MNL case number, but also has wordings that this case is currently being reviewed at the US Embassy etc. I wrote to the clinic and so far, there is no response. Thank you kindly!

Hello!  I figured that out, there were so many available for the medical, but hardly for a visa interview. Thanks everyone.

When is your interview?

[nelmagriffin 148]

Hi again, it is for my brothers under F2B category, this year marked their third year of waiting for an interview. I think they have a massive " expedite " thing going on which is nice. So, they sent an email letting them know that their case was expedited. One of my brothers received a letter letting him know that the embassy is ready for the final process, and it also comes along with an instruction. in this instruction it has something to like to make an interview appointment which is totally not the usual. So, we checked everything, the interview appointment, there was one slot the first time we look online, called appointment hotline and was told what they see is the same thing as what we see online. and was told to check it every time, so we checked every day since. most of the time always one slot, but we could not jump right in, but we are still gathering and updating documents. I asked that medical at that time we have not seen the trend of the medical appointment, but once we got online, we saw that there are plenty. So, i think we will secure a medical appointment with a letter that has MNL case number rather than an interview appointment letter, this is why i asked the group earlier regarding that required letter. I am hoping that there will an appointment available nearest after his medical. However, my other brother did not get that letter from the embassy with instructions, but CEAC information summary mentioned that his case as well was forwarded to the embassy.  So, I think they both can have their medical. We are still checking everyday whilst waiting for the documents to be complete. We are still the same waiting but at least there is a big chance for interview.

Hello, my other brother finally received an email to start the process from the embassy. I think I am just going to let them have the same medical ahead of time as the visa interview appointment goes so fast. Like the other day there were no interview appointment available then the following day there was one for August 14 then it was gone, the following day there was one for August 22. 2023. So, I guess with this trend of appointment we might as well have our medical done ahead. Ayay!
