Philippines. Interview months from the State Department’s update of October 7, 2026.

Interview scheduling at Manila

NVC is scheduling most interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

Spouses, children and parents of US citizens

February 2026

same as on Sep 23

Family preference: F1, F2A, F2B, F3 and F4

June 2021

−3 years and 9 months since Sep 23

Employment: EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 and EB-5

March 2023

−2 months since Sep 23

Compare with the month NVC emailed you that your case was documentarily complete.

What this month means

It is not a wait time: it is the month NVC is scheduling most interviews for now, and it can move backwards. “Current” means NVC is already scheduling cases from the update’s month; it can also mean the post schedules none, so check the embassy’s own website (usembassy.gov). Documentarily complete: NVC has accepted all your documents.

Family preference and employment cases also need a current priority date in the Visa Bulletin.
