How can I track it again? 

 

Tracking your visa through 2GO:
http://supplychain.2go.com.ph/CustomerSupport/tools/tracking.asp  

~  2 days after ISSUED  you can try to call 2GO at this number to check status 901-1404  (2GO picks up the visa packages from the embassy at 5PM weekdays)

 

2GO may use the passport number, or the UID # from the interview appt confirmation (not sure if that is on the immigrant visa notice from NVC), or the MNL#

Where do I find that UID number again?

Not sure where you would find the UID with an immigrant visa, like said in my previous post it is on the interview confirmation page for the K-1 .. but NVC schedules the immigrant visa interview.

@sy_ny To give you an idea let me share with you the following timeline for my IR2  Visa application:
1) The NVC received all the necessary documents needed for my kids' petition on July 19, 2018

 

2) August 10, 2018- I received an email from NVC saying that they were able to schedule the immigrant visa interview for my kids on September 7,    2018.

 

3) I went home for 2 weeks to bring my kids to SLEC for their Medical Examination PRIOR to the date of interview at USEM. We were able to finish    the said MEDICAL EXAM in two days. I pre-registered my kids online to save time. I decided to do it early just in case something goes wrong during their Medical Examination at St Luke's Extension Clinic, but luckily everything went well. 

 

4) FRIDAY September 7, 2018- We went to the USEM for the kids interview. They were scheduled at 7:40 am, we were at the USEM an HOUR before, 6:40am;  went inside the USEM by 7:15am.

 

*Done with the interview by 8:50am.

 

5) September 7, 2018 FRIDAY- I checked their visa status online via CEAC around 1PM (MNL time), VISA status says "ISSUED".

 

6) Passports on hand by  Tuesday, September 11, 2018 6:30 PM- I opted for pick-up of their passports and visa packets at 2GO Mall of Asia branch to save time because I need to fly back to SFO before the 15th. I also booked our flight back to SFO 9/14/2018. I just got one way tickets btw.

 

7) September 12, 2018 Wednesday-CFO/PDOS done. Paid Php400 each for my kids. I pre-registered them online as soon as I got their visa packets from 2GO MOA. You need to pre-register your son online btw. My kids are minors 11 and 8. They do not need to attend but I have to pre-register them to get the sticker and pay the amount of Php400 for each minor child/applicant.

 

😎 September 14, 2018- FRIDAY MNL to SFO I DID NOT pay for my kids' TRAVEL TAX, they are exempted:

As provided under R.A. 6768, Family members of former Filipinos accompanying the latter

Foreign passport of former Filipino or other evidence of former Philippine Citizenship   Birth certificate or adoption papers of children and / or marriage contract of accompanying spouse

 

 

 

9) September 14, 2018  MNL-SFO flight ...safely arrived SFO  via PAL. 

 

Hope these info would help you somehow. 

 

HI ! May I ask when did you mail your I130?

I just submitted mine for my daughter on October 23, the same date I submitted N400 online. My USC husband is petitioning for her. I know it takes up to 12 months for everything to be completed. I just wanted a timeline just to see when I can expect her visa interview. 

thanks!

1)    Totally unknown.   Until you receive your Case Complete notice NVC won't even contact the embassy for an interview date.

 

2)    After the interview, what you want to watch for is ISSUED status on the CEAC website .. from then it can be another 3-10 business days before the visa package is in hand.
