RECEIVED NOTICE FROM MANILA IV

[JandD1214 1]

Hi guys! We had our Interview on the 19th and told by the consular that we were APPROVED, and on the day itself CEAC said, and still says, "ISSUED." 

 

I know it's only been two days, but we just received an email from Manila Embassy and I'm a little confused. Part of the email says,

 

Dear Applicant, 

  

Kindly read the attached instructions carefully, and then inspect your passport and visa immediately upon receipt.    

  

Some applicants may receive a yellow visa packet – DO NOT OPEN THIS ENVELOPE which should be hand-carried and turned over to an immigration authority at the U.S. port of entry.  

  

Each applicant must register or update the preferred delivery/pick-up address at https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-iv-documentdelivery.asp.  Additionally, a working contact number in the Philippines for notification of delivery must be included. 

 

...

The rest of the email has instructions about the fee, social security, etc. I do remember we registered at US Travel Docs, but only for the delivery address. Our Ir2 was added as a family member, so she doesn't have her own account. Does this mean I have to register again? It says "each applicant" so does this mean there has to be two separate accounts?

 

We also still can't track our passports on US Travel Docs but it's only been two days, so it's understandable. But all of this is a good sign that our visas have truly been approved, right?

You should receive your passport shorty via LBC (your chosen method - pickup/delivery).  Congratulations!

I really hope so, thank you! Do you think I'll get an email from LBC first?

We did not get email from LBC.  We even emailed them, but we got the home delivery and received their email reply the next day.  I believe for pickup, you will get an email/text.  The visa would probably been produced the day you got the email with attachments (info about SS, immigrant fee)... depending on your location, allow for delivery time.  We got ours 2 days (Quezon City) after USEM email.

Awesome, I just looked up our passport numbers on US TRAVEL DOCS and FINALLY it's no longer showing up as invalid. Lol! Currently processing for delivery, thank God.
