I am curious if anybody else has obtained such an electronic mail as of recently, particularly in case your case is coming from the Philippines to the U.S.
I’ve had principally silence since early March 2020 (actually days earlier than embassy lock down), and our case was on the step the place it might transfer from the NVC to the embassy however clearly acquired put in limbo.
I do know this electronic mail does not explicitly say something optimistic or adverse, however am questioning if this implies they’ve lastly bodily checked out our case and are going to probably work on it quickly and ship it to the embassy in Manila? I am tempering my expectations, but it surely’s the not realizing that kills me.
