K1 PHILIPPINES

On when will be the visa be available after the interview, it is also a case-to-case basis. From what I know, it could take a few days to a month, depending on your case. Make sure that your fiance has complete documents listed on the instruction packet during the interview to avoid getting 221g (like an rfe) which could delay the visa for weeks or longer.

Do you have any idea what are be the reasons of getting 221g? Thanks

I might be wrong on this one, but I thought I read somewhere that they might give you the passport and visa back at the interview....otherwise I think it only takes a few days for them to send it to you.

So, my f just got the NVC hardcopy through mail. I was too bothered that on my medical and interview they might ask it. I know people are saying the screenshot of the READY status is fine but there was also an incident where one fellow Filipina wasn't permitted to continue with her medical exam due to she doesn't have her NVC Letter. So glad it arrived today my medical will be next week 17 and 18. :dancing:

From what i understand after the interview its generally ready at 2GO Mall of Asia 3-8 days after interview, average 5 days.

We just finished printing the last of my fiances documents and chat logs at the Internet cafe, the ones i didnt have time to print before mailing her package last weekend, minutes before the Internet cafe closed, just in time for her embassy interview tomorrow morning 7:30am!

Shes in her hotel room across from the embassy studying all the documents while I test her with random questions, were so nervous because we expected she would have her documents a few days early but there was a 3 day delay on her package delivery because first it was held in customs for import tax (for paper?), then another 2 days delay because I mailed to 2GO Mall of Asia (being a FedEx partner!) as they were supposed to allow pickup but they refused the delivery! So the FedEx driver instead took it to the 2GO Durian location next to the airport terminal 4, she she had to go there to pick it up the next day.

Best of luck... and we will be right behind you at 815 and I'm doing the same thing and she cant sleep cause she nervous.... :secret::secret::secret:

asking the questions.. and she can answer every question to me

Its turns out that the CFO seems to grill you more than the interview.. and she made it thru their interrogation with no problem...

:( I know, I couldn't get an appointment until September 27. Now we are back to, although being happy for them, being a little jealous of those in our group who are getting their visas so much sooner ;D good luck everyone! I can't wait until everyone in our group has their visa!
