DQ 3/14/2023
No IL yet
Tried to expedite with a medical reason and had lengthy paperwork documenting the issue and stating why we were requesting the expedite. Denial within a week or so of sending it off.
I can only speculate but it seems like some decision or issue came up between the end of January and February, because everybody (or most people) getting DQ in January seemed to be doing great on time and lots of auto expedites coming out of Manila.
Now, no word on CR1 after February, I can't find any getting DQ in February that has an interview dates yet and seems like Manila is scheduling late July or later. Tried to reach out to NVC about what Manila is doing like two weeks after DQ and NVC just emailed a canned response.
Hopefully, Manila figures out what to do soon because there was a lot of hope in January, but now it's weird at the moment.
