Is it a good idea to wait in Manila until the visa is issued?

How long does it usually take?

Should an interviewee return to her home town and wait for the visa to arrive there?

Our visa took 3 days some can take longer. After you get your visa, get your CFO. Air21 will send it to the address on your forms

Mine I wait at manila. after my visa was approved, I fill up at the AIR 21. and i address that in the hotel where i check in.

In my case it took 5 days it depends, some it will take 3days..

In my case I am from mindanao that is why i wait my visa at MANILA and then fly there to USA.

good luck
