I am starting a new thread to track cases from NVC - embassy to GC.
The best news for RN in China, Phillippines and India has been great and informative thread, but I think it is more appropriate and convenient if we start a new thread.
Also with the rapid scheduling of interviews for most of us, I am looking beyond the CP and anticipating the GC!
The August interview schedules are out already in India, and recently in the Philippines and hopefully in China.
Here is my case details
Category : EX Schedule A
USCIS receipt : April 2004
Processing Center : Vermont
I-140 approved : October 2004
NVC case number : MNL2004813XXX
NVC forwarded packet 3 : April 5, 2005
Packet 3 sent back to NVC : May 3, 2005
NVC case completed : May 16, 2005
Consular Interview : August 29, 2005
Visa received : ???
Date of entry in the US :???
GC receive : ????
I hope you can also post here your details interview experience.
You mean the photocopy of the SECPA birth certificate? together with NBI clearance, ds230, photos and photocopy passport? The one i have submitted last time was only the ds230 and my NBI clearance.. have u tried speaking with an agent at the NVC's callcenter? I did tried it last year, that is what they have required from me, i wonder if i can call them again now since they have sent some notice to my lawyer which until now i dont have any news yet.
Hoping for the best.
Birth Certificate (NSO), marriage certificates (if any) and the copy of the biographic pages of the passport has always been part of the requirements. If you did not submit those previously then it is considered incomplete. Photos are also required.
Hi, my pd is April 2006, as i've rang the nvc, it said like these, "we've received your payment, the lawyer will received a letter from us, blah, blah".... i believed that next month my pd will be current ..,
However, my concerned is, I'm married and included my dependents (spouse and first child) in my petition, what if i get pregnant for my 2nd baby prior to my US embassy interview?
would it cause a delay or unable for us to get our passports stamped?
Will the consular instructs me to deliver first my baby and be good enough to reserved a visas allotted for us?:bowingpur

pls share your inputs... thanks!
If the baby would still be in the womb then it doesn't change anything. Also, since you used the term 'if I get pregnant' means you are not pregnant now. If you have a complete file, it is more likely you get an interview and your passports stamped even before it would be time to deliver. Once passports are stamped, you are given 6 mos. to use it and be in US soils by that time.
i just want to ask you if i still have to check with NVC re: visa availability like what everybody else is doing or just wait for the embassy to contact me. i was just wondering why those people with PD dates earlier or later than mine gets response from NVC like "no visa available yet" but then when i tried to contact them the automated response says they don't have any record of my file? i've been to embassy last year but unable to obtain visa because i lack NBI and told me i just have to send it next time visas are available. why don't they have any record of my file? is it because they've already forwarded it to the embassy?
She claimed that she were able to go to her appropriate embassy and was instructed to return if visas are available. This tells me that she was already previously given an interview date and was one of the unfortunate ones that were not given a visa for whatever reason last year.
Her file is already in the embassy and is being kept there ever since and not in the NVC anymore. She should be contacting the embassy and not the NVC anymore.
Just called NVC now, automated voice response says from no visa available..... to " the lawyer will receive instruction within the next 90 days". I'm Very optimistic that this is a positive movement on our case. My PD October 2006. Let's continue praying!
Got an update from NVC today. Visa fee bill generated April 21, 2008 and will be sent in the next few weeks. Another positive movement. Patiently waiting for my turn.

Reign 5,
I would also like to add that even if you gave birth prior to your embassy interview, you and your dependents including the newly-born will be given a visa. You can add dependents even at the time of your interview. You just have to accomplish another DS230 including them as accompanying you. The important thing is to have the supporting document like the birth certificate.

Thanks lawrence :nuke:.... it's such a huge big help to clarify about these matter... God bless:saint:
i have a question. NVC has changed their requirements for email inquiry of status. as well as US Embassy in manila removed the link for visa interview inquiry on their site....how do we know when our interview is? we have to call the embassy? one of the requirements for NVC is the birthdate of the petitioner...i have no idea what my petitioner's birthdate is!

I have the same problem as well, I sent NVC 3 emails already for the past 2 weeks and still no reply on any of them.

leis23,
the manila us embassy link to inquire for interview date is still there. go to consular & visa services and look for immigrant visa appointments and click it. look for the highlighted link :
