Biometrics in Manila no available slots

[maryaaaa 57]

Biometrics will be cancelled by the system if there are no booked Consular appointments   OFC calendar will show first before Manila IV.

 

When is your interview? I mean how soon? Embassy is aware of scheduling concerns so what I can suggest is print this page that shows no Slots available and take it to the embassy along with your NVC appointment letter. 

 

There are people who went there and were accommodated and had their biometrics taken at the embassy.

OR...

 

If you can go to Manage Appointment or Manage Application; find the booked biometrics and take a screenshot of the details (date, time etc) and take it to the embassy too as proof that you did secure one.

I've been trying on a daily basis, day and night, to make an appointment for fingerprint / biometrics and for the embassy interview (K-1 Visa - Manila) as I understand you have to schedule both appointments simultaneously.  Each time, I get a message NO SLOTS AVAILABLE.  

 

This has been going on for more the 4 weeks straight.  I'm at my wits end and don't know what to do.  It's very frustrating and discouraging .  Can anyone on this thread offer some sound advice?  I understand contacting them is no help.

The only thing you can do is keep trying.... I know it's a crappy answer but really it's the only thing you can do. We had to try every day for weeks on end to get Jaycel's appointment last summer

Thank you! I heard about that too. I have a copy of the appointment confirmation that I was able save when I was told to try the appointment confirmation link before it got cancelled. I have tried to restart the application thinking that I may have missed something for I didn't get an email confirmation. Interview date will be a month from now and we received that from NVC a week ago.

😭I was able to secure a date and finally got an email confirmation. I had to restart my application and selected the visa category option "01 -  Photo/Fingerprint Appointment. For any visa with an interview already scheduled at the Embassy. It directed me to the appointment confirmation page."

I hope this helps everyone who has embassy interview date given by NVC. I appreciate all of your help.

if there's a specific dress code (e.g. white top with collar)? Thank you so much!

 Hi @Sophie Peralta sorry I missed this. 
 

Casual will do. Jeans or slacks, shirt, blouse. No slippers. Closed shoes.
