Hi, all! I had my interview earlier this week and was given the 221G white slip. CO ticked off the submission of documents since they require me to submit CENOMAR (or CEMAR being the right term for me) for me and my ex. I asked the guy who gave me instructions on how to request the said documents how long it would take them to receive a copy of the CEMARS from NSO Pasay City and he told me about a week. Then I asked what happens after that, he replied, Visa grant and confirmed my delivery address and got my contact number number, but he also said that we can check our status after two weeks. Should I consider myself under AP also when the CO did not tick off the first box that says "wait until you hear from us: Your case requires further ap/ar? Is the issuance of 221g automatically puts you on AP/AR? Thank you for your views on this... :)

ap is a very generic and broad term.. it will probably be used for your case, but look at the words administrative processing.. working on paperwork.. in your case.. waiting on paperwork..

I wouldn't say you are under AP, it looks like once you get the CEMAR to the embassy they will approve your visa.

I don't know why the embassy does not have the CEMAR on their requirements list for the IR/CR-1 as they ask for it at the interview. I have read of many on here having this delay, having to go to NSO and get a CEMAR for USEM

Thanks, Hank! It is such a relief knowing I am not in AP although I know this CEMAR thing would cause me about two weeks delay in visa issuance.
