It's been one month since my 3 year old daughter appeared with my sister in law and brother in law at the US Embassy in Manila. We have legally adopted her in the Philippines already, and USCIS approved our petition last August 2006. Her first inteview date was in January, but we had to postpone due to certification hassles for her passport. She was rescheduled to April, and from what we understand the interview went well. The US Embassy took her passport, told my in laws that it would take 2 weeks to get the visa because they had to send the file back to the National Visa Center. I just checked with the National Visa Center and they said that they had completed her visa petition and that the US Embassy Manila had to complete "further processing." What does that mean, and how long does that take? Any ideas???? It should be a done deal seeing as both my wife and I are US citizens and the child is my wife's neice. How much further processing is necessary? The visa needs to be delivered to Zamboanga del Norte.
