My Dad (IR1) was interviewed last 10/13 Tuesday,passed and ceac site change "Issued" almost instant after the interview. I was able to track the passport/visa from 2GO & ustraveldocs by 10/15 Thursday. 10/16 Friday was ready to pick-up at SM Manila branch!

10/19 CFO seminar done!

10/25 POE- LAX!

10/26 Domestic flight to my city! Im excited to see my DAD!

hi was the update an email from support-philippines@ustraveldocs.com?

No, bu I tried the email update next day after the interview. but got the same result using the passport tracking option at ustraveldocs.com.

I used the passport tracking option and it gave me the update.

UPDATE:

My Dads VISA is ready for pick-up at the chosen location. ( 3 Days after the interview )

How do you track your visa in ustraveldocs.com?

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-passportretrieve.asp

UPDATE:

10/15 3PM Ustraveldocs.com = Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery

I checked 2GO tracking using UID no. and status = In-transit (scan 9:30AM 10/15)

I hope they can pick up this pocket by this weekend so they can take it to the CFO seminar by Monday and be done with it.

^UPDATE:

I can track the UID now. "In-transit" on 2GO site.

My dad had his IR1 interview last Tuesday and passed it. His status went from ready to issued almost instant after interview.

It's been little over 48hrs now. I already asked my mom to call us embassy to check the status.

UID,Passport no. & case no. Still invalid on 2Go tracking website. I'm hoping Friday I can get some update on the visa tracking.

OK, I will tell them to call 2GO and see if they have it or maybe time frame when they will get the visa.

What does the online status at CEAC said in your dad's case status?

"Issued"

My Dad passed his IR1 interview (10/13/2015), Im trying to track his passport/visa via 2GO.

MNL# ,Passport no. and UID still invalid.

How long before 2GO gets my dads Visa pocket? (ceac status = ISSUED)

We set the pick up location at SM Manila, I want to change it to MOA before the interview but it might create more delay so We stick on the original pick up location.

THANKS HANK for replying!

Mom filed 1st week of March... a bit of delayed due to online invoice payment and the whole website is problem. (maybe 1-1/12 months of delay)

My Dad had his interview today and he PASSED!

lil over 7 Months.. now we can breath!

THANKS VJ for all the support and great infos!

To all whos still in the process good luck to all!

Hi VJers!

My Dad is going to have his interview(IR1) this coming Tuesday 10/13, If all goes well.... I wonder which is faster to get the visa via 2GO?

PICK-UP or Home Delivery?

They registered the address like instructed on the email they received. (ustraveldocs.com/ph/) and they choose to pick it up on the nearest SM mall.

My mom is flying back to US on 10/25 and really wants to take my dad with her. (dad CFO seminar scheduled is on 10/19).

THANKS!

You don't attend PDOS, you would attend the counseling for spouses/fiancees

Wait.. what?

PDOS is diffrent from CFO? What is CFO?

When my mom called and inquired about senior citizen attending PDOS, they said my dad doesnt need to attend the seminar. All they need to do is walk in and register to get the sticker for the passport.

Im confused now.

Same day in Manila, 1 week in Cebu, that is what my wife said

My mom and dad went to Pasay serbilis center (Wednesday) they were told its a 4 day process and release on next Tuesday whick is the interview date. So that's not possible.

Serbilis ask to see the interview letter.. And finally said they can release it on Friday.. My mom got the receipt already and going back on Friday to pick it up.

The best answer that anyone can give is maybe yes, maybe no.

Thanks for replying.

Can you still pick up VISA at US embassy like before? or all delivery/pick up via 2GO?

Question:

My Dads interview (IR1) is on 10/13/2015 and if ALL goes well. my mom (in manila now) return flight is 10/26 is that enough time so may dad can come with my mom on that day?

Thanks

My mom and dad went to one of "serbilis" center right now and will get this cenomar.

One of Our family friend got her cenomar earlier this year and she said they took 1 week to release. Her cenomar was not for immigration/visa. Does requesting for visa make the cenomar release faster?

My dad's interview is on the 13th. I hope they can get it today. The email we received last night was too close to the interview date.

My mom case also received an email asking to bring a CENOMAR.

This thread help me to understand what and why they asking for cenomar, since my MOM & Dad are married since 2006.

Thanks to all VJ members clarifying this issue.

Sorry, I didnt read the whole thread... Ive read that required age to attend is 20-59 years old.

My dad is a senior citizen now 65+, Is he still need to go over there and get the sticker? if not.. He is cleared to leave the country correct?

Thanks!

Great info!

Does anyone know if they a line or do they make the process easier for senior citizen? (maybe waiting time)

Thanks

My moms case got complete last Monday 9/14, Today we got an email for the Interview schedule. It will be on 10/13.

Thanks VJ members for all the support!

And for those who still waiting... Wishing you all a better days to come!

How and where to check if your case left NVC ?

Also is there a way to find out if the consulate received my case?

Thanks!

How soon can I send the AoS and IV package? What papers, printed from the CEAC website does it have to have?

Follow this NVC guide, Its very helpful

I sure hope so! Going into day 33 tomorrow... I originally thought my scan date was 8/11 but found out today after calling NVC (managed to get a friendly operator) that the scan date is actually 8/13.

So hopefully in the coming days!

I got a feeling that yours will come tomorrow... We base my mom scan date on the email we received.

Post it right away when you get that 3 N/A's!... wishing you all the luck this coming days!

Congrats to all CC today!... and for those waiting under 30 days, My mom case was 34 days before 3 N/A's! I guess they will use all 30 days!

for those over 30 days just hang on! hope to get yours this week!

NICE!!!!! I hope I get ours today

I'm becoming discouraged.

We're from the same embassy too! That's awesome! Maybe I will get it today!

Yeah!...Just hold on we are in the home stretch!

I hope you get your 3 NA's today or tomorrow!

I called yesterday, day 34, and they simply told me like they do every time that "they're still waiting to review my case"...

I'll try again today probably....

I check for 3 N/A's today!...... We got 3 N/A's!
