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

I hope you can also post here your details interview experience.
Hi agp_ph, unfortunately, I still don't have my schedule yet. I'm just hoping that I will be scheduled by October. Lets just keep on praying and seek guidance from HIM.
You will receive pkt 4 usually within 4 weeks, interviews/medical scheduling is about 8-12 weeks. Hope for the best...
Kurt2006, my case was completed last July 30. It took only 5 days for my case to be completed. I too don't have an interview date yet. Hopefully we won't be affected by retrogression.
Leis, I know someone who also wasn't able to answer all items in the DS230 form. However, it only took her approximately 2 weeks to send it back and get completed. I guess it depends on how fast your lawyer can send it back. I'm sure you have a photocopy of the form you sent. Check it out and see which item you left blank. Wishing you luck.

Hi titanium!
I just post because were busy of our medical and interview since last week.
Last sept 5 we had our interview and thanks to GOD, everything was fine. Hope so... coz we paid delbros forour visa delivery.
About your question, we have the same problem before. I had also put PNA in my DS230 (packet 3). So, I just prepare the DS230 updated but during the interview they didn't ask me about that one. So, I think there's nothing to worry about that. Incase just prepare for a new one DS230 for updating.
The NVC has received all my documents on Aug.21,2006.(monday) and my case was completed the following monday, Aug. 28,2006. I didnt expect that it can happen so fast. I found out when I called the NVC tru there hotline.
I dont know when can I have my sked for interview. I hope it will happen soon.
heres my timeline:
January 2006 = Offer letter from my employer
February 2006= USCIS received all my documents
June 2006= Approval from USCIS (Vermont)
July 2006= NVC has assigned a case number as well as generated the fee bill
July 2006 = Fee bill paid and NVC sent the biographical data form to my lawyer
August 2006= NVC has received all the documents
August 2006 = Case complete
interview sked=??

I didn't write PNA for my prepared DS230 but they didn't ask for it. I think the reason was , my DS230 was recent that was last May lang. For nurses i think they are not strict as long as your documents are complete and without questions (documents from your employer as well). The consul didn't even bother us to swear in DS230 part II.
He only ask basic questions, don't need to worry. Just prepare yourself, read all you have written in your DS230 and in your contract. They're particular in your nclex whether you get it here or in the state, if in the state see to it that you must have a rate prior to being liscensed and after liscensed. For me he asked me 2 questions only, my name and if i will take my nclex in the states. I don't have medical questions but incase prepare for it bcoz there are some who asks for it. My tips for you: prepare your extra picture specified by the US embassy coz if you have your pictures there it cost you a lot that is Php180 and your picture is not good (pangit). You must be there 1 hour before your appointment, you dont need to go there very early (if you don't want yourself to stand while waiting or spare a money to rent a seat @ 30 psos) bcoz the guard prioritized according to time of appoinment. Also zerox all your important documents esp. your visa screen and updated contract (notarized) so that they will return your original form. In addition prepare your: cg cert, english exam, NBI (recent), resume, NSO birth cert, ds230 I&II, valid ID's, diploma, pictures if your married (wedding pict as well), OTR. Secure a new NBI clearance for sure nalang because for others that was the cause of delayed in their visa issuance.
Here's our interview procedure:
1. At first you take a line for Immigrants. The guard will tell you where to enter (Gate 2 I think for Immigrant, fiance &K1 visa)
2. Then, upon entering the immigrants section you must proceed to a counter in your right side to get your number and a form (agreement to proceed in your employer upon entering USA).
3. Finger scanning at Window 17 (Wait for your name to be called).
4. Wait your number to flashed for Pre-screening at windows 21 to 26 I think. Prepare your zerox and documents esp visa screen and notarized contract. A filipino will ask you some questions. Don't need to worry basic question only.
5. Wait again for your number for a consul interview at windows 28 to 32.
6. After that wait again (Windows 37 I forgot the other one) for your pink slip to pay to delbros and your original documents to be released.
That's all... You can make it Titanium... Just pray...
