visa issued! waiting for delivery now

If you guys have any questions dont hesitate to ask. You'll all get approved soon!

just got issued. hehe

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask who else got 221g after their interview last March and this April? Follow my format below for easier understanding.

Interview Date: April 05

Reason for 221G: AKA missing in NBI clearance because of wrong spelling in birth certificate even if the corrections are there.
Updates:

April 05 - Got new NBI clearance with AKA and sent to USEM via 2go
April 06 - USEM received NBI clearance
April 07 - CEAC status touched but still AP
April 14 - Emailed USEM asking for update
April 15 - USEM replied and acknowledge receipt of NBI clearance on Apr. 07
- CEAC status touched but still AP
April 19 - Emailed USEM asking for update
April 20 - USEM replied case still under review, no further documents needed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still on AP today. Hopefully it updates by tomorrow as it'll be the 3rd day tomorrow since they confirmed receipt last Friday.

Oh wow! Lucky for u, you're going to have your interview soon.

Any updates? Did your CEAC status changed?

No update yet since they last touched the case last April 7. Hoping it would be issued soon. I have know idea why it's taking so long even though the only thing they needed is the NBI clearance with AKA.

No problem with that I think. Even better since you won't need an AKA in it since you didn't use your husbands last name.

Interview was on April 5. Got 221 though and now on AP but already submitted the document. Waiting for CEAC to be issued.

How did you get your NBI on the same day? Do u live in Manila? My wife flew back in Cebu and had it done. We are patiently waiting for NBI to release it. What address did you use to mail the document? Or did NBI mailed it directly to USEM?

Hi fatherofthree,

We immediately went to the NBI office near the embassy. A personnel there kindly assisted US without asking for any bribe whatsoever. We didn't have to fall in the long line. I got a hit but thankfully my NBI clearance was new so they told me that I should have no problem getting it within the day. Kudos to that guy in NBI. More of you should be in government positions.

After getting the NBI clearance we went to the nearest 2GO branch and had it sent to the USEM.

USEM got it the following day, April 6.

Let me know if you have other questions.

You may see it updated with new dates each and every time someone "touches" your record and the is normal also normal for it to say AP. Soon it will change to ISSUED.

The date on CEAC will change every time someone opens your case file, even if the status does not change. What for your status to change to READY, then shortly after it normally changes to ISSUED.

Thanks guys. Hopefully this happens this week. Do you have any idea how long this usually takes? The consul actually said everything looks good except for the NBI clearance and that's the only thing they need. They also already have my passport. I just had my delivery address updated yesterday in ustraveldocs as well.

Admin processing for me.

Got 221g too coz they wanted the NBI clearance to have my AKA since my birth certificate has wrong spellings even though there was already a note in it from PSA stating the correction. I passed the new nbi clearance the same day of the interview. It's now with them but I'm still under AP. Waiting for an update.

Any update on this? Also got 221g because of NBI AKA. I sent the new nbi clearance the same day and USEM got it the following day. CEAC status still at AP but the status updated date changed to april 7 which is 2 days after my interview.

Thanks blessed23. So after a successful interview, we can then pay this process online? I'm wondering if I need to put our Philippine address where to send the green card or our US address?

Hi,

As far as I know, you should put your US address if you'll be in the US soon. In my case I'll be putting my US address because I'll be there in a month after my interview. Maybe someone else can confirm this?

you have to pay for the actual greencard.

The doctors will examine the XRAY you had on your first day. You'll know if you'll need to go through sputum test on the 2nd medical day at SLEC. The guard will check your record in the computer and if it says for sputum test then you have to go through it and it'll delay your interview for a couple of months. You actually can't avoid it especially if you have past TB problems I think. Just hope for the best.

Do u mind me asking who you are petitioning? I'm petitioning my wife and 2 daughters and I was just wondering if you can share your experience during the medical recently at SLEC.

I am the one being petitioned bro.

I went to SLEC last March 9-10. Day 1 I was there at 430am and I was #18 on the line already but it's best to go that early so you'll be finish early as well.

Things done were xray, physical exam, eye exam, taking of height and weight,blood extraction, and last is the immunization interview. I finished everything at 9am. My advise is for every floor they go to, immediately approach anyone in the front desk so they know where to wait or line up. Bring water and some snack you can hide in your back coz you can't eat inside. I actually brought sandwich which I ate in the CR haha.

2nd day I went there early as well around 5am. I think I was 15th in the line which is a separate line from those who are on their day 1 schedule. They'll let you in around 6am, bring your receipt. The guard's going to ask for it and enter the receipt # i think in the computer to check if you're for immunization or sputum test. Pray you don't get the sputum test because it'll delay your interview. The guard will send you to the 2nd floor if you're for immunization. I waited around 2.5hrs there before I got my injections. I dont know how they queue the people in there. After the injections you just wait in the ground floor to get your packet and some final instructions. I finished around 930am. That's it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

corrected my interview date to april 5.
