[FaithHope 0]

Does anyone here have the same case? I had my interview last August 19,2015 I was approved but because of my NBI clearance "No Criminal Record" they said just wait for an email.On September 8,15 I received their email says that they need explanation letter from nbi & scheduled interview.On September 9,15 I went to nbi and had my interview.The Nbi said to wait for the Us Embassy email,no need to worry because my previous case was already dismissed before.The NBI will make a explanation letter & the US Embassy will be the one to get it.I keep on checking my visa status still "Administrative Processing" it's been 3 months..I sent an email today to US Embassy for follow up & requesting to expedite my case because medical will expire soon.Hoping for their immediate response...?

This is a rather long time for waiting for your visa as your problem is small in comparison to others. You need to be on the telephone to USEM and get an answer to why they have not replied with the issuance of your visa.

According to the USEM website 8AM - 8PM

NEW EMAIL ADDRESS

In order to serve our visa applicants more efficiently, we have created this new e-mail IVMNLAppointments@state.gov , for early appointment requests and visa scheduling issues. Please note, however, that early appointment requests will be approved on a case to case basis (i.e., aging out cases, or in cases involving personal or medical emergencies), and only if visa interview slots are available.

For other immigrant and K visa concerns, please send an e-mail to IVManilaReplies@state.gov

To enable us to electronically sort the messages and provide better, more timely responses, you should follow the instructions below.

The subject line of your email should indicate the visa applicant’s last name, first and middle name (ex. DOE, John James), case number/USCIS receipt number, visa category and priority date.

Messages should be limited to 500 characters or less. The mail size should not be more than 15 KB.

Do not submit documentation or attachments with your message as our system is unable to receive inquiries with attachments.

Do not send your inquiry more than once as duplicate inquiries will congest our system and delay our response time.

YW. Use the phone as email doesn't get answered in a timely manner. Yours is a emergency case so I wouldn't waste time with email. As you said, you will call them tomorrow.

I called up the US Embassy & talked to their agent last Dec.7.I told him about my concern..He made a report & I received an email "escalated to post" it says also to wait for 2 business days..Im expecting an email on Dec.9 but until now ther are no emails..? I called them yesterday Dec10 to follow up but they said just wait for the email ? my status still Administrative processing..what do you mean by "Escalated to Post"?

It means that they are moving you towards the front of the line and are going to put a set of "eyeballs" on your file. Have a little more patience. Your almost there. I think you can expect to hear something next week. Keep checking on the case at ceac.
