I was with my fiancee during her interview at USEM last Feb 18. The actual process took less than 30 min combined. But the waiting was long. Almost 8 hours! Lol we brought with us lots of documents of our proof of ongoing relationship ,but only the usual paperwork were asked: Birth Cert, NBI, Cenomar, affidavit of support form with a copy of my 2012 w2 and ITR. I also gave the Fil consul the original certified copy of my divorce paper. They did not bother looking at our pictures. When my fiancee was called by the American Consul he saw me and I was told to have a seat. He will call me if he has any questions. I was seated right infront of him and i can hear his questions to my fiancee. He only asked a few questions : when did we meet? How did we meet? What was i doing in the philippines the first time we met? What did we do on the 3 weeks I visited her the second time. Thats it. He did not say if the visa was approved. All he said was thats all the questions and wait for the window to call her number. At the window for 2go I ask if we were approve and was told most likely since the consul kept the pp and no further documents were needed.

Our CEAC status first 3 days was ready then went to AP for 2 more days and finally issued yesterday. We are just waiting for 2go to text us as we opted for the visa ro be pick up at MOA. Thanks again for all the help and advice. Our journey is almost over.

Congrats!!

My fiance is also in Issued status yet 2go site still says "invalid" using passport, application or case number. It's been "invalid" since the first day and even a day after "issued" status on CEAC. Is this odd or normal? Other posts say you can use that identifier to track on 2go Etrace...

This is a bump.. sorta. Interview was Feb 24th and was approved. On 26th ceac updated to AP. The next day on the 27th updated to issue. It is now monday Mar 3rd and still just issued with no txt from 2go. Tracking says invalid. Called 2go and was told to call back after 6pm philippine time. Anyone else waiting long for their visa after issued status? We opted for sm-moa pickup.

You should be getting the visa soon. We also opted for pickup at MOA. It was on AP for 3 days per CEAC website. 2Go tracking had it invalid until they texted us it was ready for pickup. On the 25th of Feb. it went to issue. Got a text from 2Go on the 27th of Feb. My fiancee and I picked up the visa on the 28th. This is the local phone number for the 2Go office at MOA (02)901-1404. Call after 5 pm to check if they have receive the visa from USEM. Good luck.
