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

I hope you can also post here your details interview experience.
hi ann80! thanks for your reply. I just need to download the ds230 form, right? i will call my lawyer later.
I have to send the original NBI Clearance and birth certificate? So, I need to order a new one for my interview? thanks!
Hi again Leis23..... Im not sure about the downloaded form of ds230, I think some have problems with it, to be sure call your lawyer about it to avoid unnecessary delays.....yes, you have to send your original NBI clearance BUT keep your personal copy with you, about your birth certificate, it should be in NSO paper, I advise you to get 3 copies of your birth certificate from NSO, so that you will not go back if ever you need it again ( I think you also need it on your interview...Im not sure about this).
Hi ANN80 and Hello everyone!!!! Thanks for your quick reply on my post. I really appreciate it. i have no idea on the time frame of NVC processing. May I ask for the phone number of NVC? Do i have to talk to an Operator or just a voice prompt where in there will already be an available voice recording about my case status. When is the best time to call? The last email i got from them was dated june 2. That was the email which informed me that my case is under administrative processing. Baka makulitan sa akin ang NVC. Do you think its okay to call and follow-up on my case completion? Thanks again.
Hi twinkle bell, when I was new on this site, I too have no idea about the time frame of NVC processing, based on the posts here it usually took 5 months from case completion, but something happened and I dont know what (by the way, I'm not complaining;)), it just took 2 months for me, thank God..so better call NVC pronto!!!!

i have been following this thread for months now and could feel the same anxiety :uhoh21: of those who have been waiting for each step that their papers has to go through.mine is
Priority Date : March 2005
USCIS Approval: Feb 14, 2006
Lawyer forwarded DS230 to NVC: June 14,2006
awaiting completion and the rest
there's a big gap between the approval date to submission od DS230, when we have already paid all the necessary fees last March.Had to follow up with the law office's assistant handling my case.She said she has her hands full. Oh well..the waiting is not yet over for me. Congratulations to all the nurses who have finished with their interviews. :yelclap:
thanks to both of you. i called nvc yesterday and they told me that my case was completed last june 5 but no interview schedule yet. does it mean that all the documents that i submitted are ok and "no lacking or additional requirements needed?" that i will just wait for an interview schedule? i checked the nvc posting just now. they have added some new cases but mine is still not there. most of which that they added for the month of august are on different category only very few on ex. how often do they update the posting? is it possible that my case will be included on august scheds? thanks.....
I called NVC yesterday evening and they told me that my case was COMPLETED last June 5 but no schedule for an interview yet. Does this mean that the papers i sent are OK and no more missing or lacking requirement? Will i just have to wait for an interview sked to be available for my case? I checked the NVC Schedule posting just now and i found out that they have just added some new cases for the month of August. Only a few. Most of which that they added fall on different category. very few on "schedule a". My case isn't there yet. How often do they update this posting and is there a possibility for my case to be included on august interviews? THANK YOU!!!!!

hi twinkle bell, having your case completed means that they have reviewed your case, but it doesn't mean that you don't have to bring additional requirements on your interview (like your personal copy of nbi clearance, notarized offer letter, visa screen cert, birth cert, wedding pictures it you are married, etc. etc. etc.). i think that they update their posting every first week of the month (not sure)......and lastly, anything is possible, we really don't know what their trend is...you just have to wait..
the journey is almost over.. now i just have to book a ticket while humming "leaving on a jet plane.." to add drama to it.. :-)
guys!!! i received my visa packet just today!!! :balloons: :smiley_aa :yelclap::w00t:
to all those in one way or another bear with me during the "waiting" times.. my gratitude.. to my new found friends hael and liza of bacolod,ann80, tanya1, including of course, gwapo and nurse dependent.. thanks for sharing so much!
to those who are "waiting" don't worry your time will come too... as hael imparted to me..
just have faith and believe or just believe and have faith!!! :roll :roll
goodluck to everyone! this forum is the best!!! :balloons: :balloons:
