My finance had her interview less than a week ago and everything was approved. They said they are to mail her (her) visa back to her. Any idea how long this takes? She expected it within the week? What have your experiences been? (manilla)

How long is a peice of string?

No seriously, it can take a week, 2 weeks..... took me 3 days from London..

takes 7 to 10 business days from the time of your interview.

My fiance had her interview in Manila on the 20th of June, she got the visa in the mail on the 23rd of June.

They sent her a txt message after the interview saying they would txt her again when the embassy released the visa for delivery.

She got the txt on the 23rd of June saying the embassy released the visa and is being delivered. They gave a bunch of timelines for different parts of the Philippines. 1-2 days for metro manila etc... I think the longest was 7 days.

The visa was delivered to Makati City in less than 5 hours.

K bye.

Congrats on the approval!
