Hahah! Yep! They did. They made me younger of 10 days😂 Oh how I hate them. :/ my fiancé was really pissed off when he saw that my birth date was still wrong.  

 

I have my schedule at CFO Manila on September 25th, but I plan to just go to Clark, Pampanga and walk in there on the 2nd week of September. 

 

Yeah.. But you can now pay even if the status is IN TRANSIT. Last time I saw the slots for interview was last night, only 2 slots are available.. 

 

the status of my visa is still AP. Case Created: August 23 - Ready to Application received until today, it has updated to ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING.. :3 It's taking too long in my case but I don't care as long as I'll have my visa in hand soon  I won't pick my Visa in MOA.. I'm living in Pangasinan Province, so I'll just pick it up in 2GO branch near my place. :))

 

you should schedule flights now. Hahaha. My fiancé did😂 he did 3 weeks before my interview. Big risk😂

Yeah, They coulda made you a few years younger    Inconsiderate of them!!! hahaha

Since I want to attend interview, and I'd like to fly back together, and do all this in 10 days..........   Yeah, That's a miracle.  It takes 2 days to travel there, and one day to come back - that leaves interview on day one, and passport received day 7      Is this even possible?  Problem is scheduling where I work, I can squeeze 10 days out of work, but that's about it - plus I have to work 9 days before and 9 days after - that's a killer way to get 10 days off.   I suppose the big question is... How long is AP after interview?

Seriously? LOL, no, that never happened to me. It just said I already used all my reputation... because I'm stalking on everyone everywhere

Poor @dkmfan85, he's such a nice guy *smh*

I think it is a glitch, it pops up but the Reputation still counts

 

Probably just something special to just me alone hahaha  Who knows.

Let me do the math for you. You're right, it will take 2 days before you get here.. you should schedule her interview a day after you arrive here in PH.. Don't schedule her interview THURSDAY OR FRIDAY.. Should be Monday-Wednesday.. If she will have her interview in Monday, if she luckily landed in a consul that works fast, she will be issued visa the next day and have her visa in hand 2 days after ISSUED date.. If she's going to pick up the visa in MOA, Much better.. :)) But really, it depends to the consulate, some had to wait 1 week for their visa some even wait for 2 weeks. It really depends to the consulate.. Mine, it's been 2 days since my interview and the status is still AP.. It will just change maybe by Tuesday, because on Monday, it's holiday again.. 😊

Our CEAC Tracker is still showing "ready"...for the interview (9 days AFTER the interview). Though "the case last updated" field has been updated every day this week. I suppose they are working on it. Montreal is slowwwwww

That is REALLY slow!
My ceac status was already in "Administrative Processing" when I barely stepped out of the consulate. I think I looked like an hour later. It kept it for one day and then went to "Issued".
Interview was on Tuesday, and the passport was back with me on Saturday.

Crazy, how different this is for every one of us!

Okay I might just be freaking out for  no reason, but to those who have sent packet 3 how did you send the required documents? I sent the letter and passport bio pic as pdf and computer ss'd the confirmation and attached as an image. Case was changed to ready yesterday and updated again today. idk I feel like I'm looking for reasons to freak out lol

We sent the passport scan as an image and the DS-160 and document checklists as PDFs. You will be fine!

HELP

 

Called NVC today, 0700 number, hit 7 - Got a nice guy that answered right away after a few rings.  He punched in my WAC# and then asked me for my Fiancee's name   YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So, since I'm Philippines, he gave me my MNL# and Invoice Number (they typed in the DOB's without any mistakes @Yzabelle  YAAAAY!)

 

Soooooooo, here's my question, What is website I can enter the NVC number they gave me to see when it is sent to Embassy?

Also, PH Filers...... Hints and tips please, when this hits the Embassy, I want to go full throttle ahead

 

Wow it took you how many days before you got your mnla case number?

Thank you so much! Fibally, I can breathe in and cheers for a stress free days ahead! Lol 

[NCblitz 72]

I finally got to book an interview date today, October 2nd! Not bad, I'm happy

 

My fiancee is still in shock, what a roller coaster of emotions this visa journey has been! Excitement, worry, nervousness, happiness, depression, hopefulness.. I hope we all have happy, lasting marriages, I don't think there is much in life that can take us down after a visa journey like this. God bless and God speed!

It is crazy! I guess it makes sense that given the proximity to the US there would be more visa filers there and a heavier workload. In the Canadian sub-forum, it looks like someone had a similar issue to us so we are just waiting it out at this point.
