USEM is a funny Embassy. I have seen same day issued and I have seen some waiting as much as 9 months for their visa.

 

Anyways, Congratulations and safe travels.

Do you have any sea of how long would it take to received the passport?

Usually takes 5 to 10 working days. That's "normal" for USEM but it can take longer so don't quit your job or buy airline tickets until you have that visa in your hands.  If you chose to pick your visa up at MOA then it can be on the lower end of that guesstimation I made earlier. If your in the province somewhere it may take longer. Check with your local 2go office.

 

You can Check/Track your passport status here (this works for those who are in the PHILIPPINES only.)

and check it here too just enter the UID code found in your interview appointment letter:

MNL # is one of the numbers to try with 2GO for tracking, along with the UID and passport number, never know which one will work with 2GO

Congratulations, @Bitofanerd and @Hannah96! So happy for you!

 

Just checked my passport status and it says IN TRANSIT now. Just 2 business days since it was ISSUED. I expect to receive my visa before the week ends as I need it for my CFO seminar on the 25th.

I think it may take up to 7 business days for them to issue the visa after they've received the missing requirements. Let's hope they issue your visa this week, though!

Does anyone know if we are required to pay a fee when scheduling the interview? (Apart from the courier service).

 

My embassy in London, but just wandering any of you had to pay a fee for the appointment.

 

Cheers

Thank you.  I hope so.  Such a long up and down emotional rollercoaster this process has been.

Yeah I don't think we need more than that ...But here is the website: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Step_4_Collect_Financial_Documents.html

 

Here is what packet 4 says as far as financial evidence: 

Affidavit of support (I-134) (for fiancé, employment and DV visas) 

Evidence of support (I-864, Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year)

 

But with answering this question one arise to me...I thought we didn't need the form I-864 for our visa, but here it clearly states it...Do we need it or not?

It used to be that only the I-134 was required, but many embassies are beginning to ask for the I-864. I'd fill out both and provide the officer with the I-864 if they ask for it.

Hi Guys! Just called NVC and I got the case number!!! Three letters followed by 10 digits.

 

But on https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA==

 

when I tracked my visa status, I selected NIV and my consulate. It says the case does not exist! Anyone knows why?

You'll need to select immigrant! It only becomes non-immigrant later down the line, after approval.

You haven't seen anything yet. You still have AOS, Perm GC and then Naturalization.  We waited 1 year and 4 months for my wife's perm GC which was processed through Vermont. Those who processed through California had theirs in 6 months. Fustrated. Sure. Went through two infopass and the OB. Was about use my congress(person) but it was release so I didn't need that step.
