Did you call 2GO???

No...I called embassy as soon as call center opened (8 am philippine time) and they said passport still at embassy...

That was early thi morning though

Call 2Go. All indications are that 2Go has it. Once 2Go gets it, Ustraveldocs is done with it and will give the exact message you just got.

You experienced this?

It means the passport has left the system.... best contact 2GO

I tried tracking on 2go, using IUD, CASE NO, AND PASSPORT...NONE worked

I tried tracking passport on travel docs, amd it says "

"There is no status update available for the passport number submitted."

What does this mean?

The only option for pick up was at ayal 2go in makati city...how come we did not see MOA as option?

If USEM can return to normal on Tuesday, then yes packets will continue to be sent out.

Do you by any chance know how long it takes visa packet to be get to local 2go office? Is it within 24hrs just like if we were to send docs to embassy via 2go?

I got his extension when I had issues with my interview schedule. Ceac says 'ready' and when I showed up on my interview date they sent me home. Apparently they haven't receive the physical file from NVC. So he accommodated me and gave me his direct extension. From then on everytime I have issues, I call him directly and he's very nice and patient. When I had this issue last Friday i thought of calling him but he's on leave so I had to wait till Monday and he immediately assisted me.

Its means someone access your file on that day. Or did something about it. The way he explained it to me, every time someone access your file the date change. The only difference on my case is they had to unlock it. ( apparently when the status says issued its locked) Since my interview it says Issued, but then they had to do some data correction so they unlock it and it becomes ready as if i was to be interview and when finalized it changed back to issued.

So its possible ours will turn to "issued" within a day or 2?

Just to update y'all, I called the visa immigrant unit supervisor at USEM Manila yesterday morning to clarify what happened to my status and he assured me there's nothing to worry about. He said, the reason why it changes to ready is because someone open the case (which is already locked) to correct some data entry. Apparently, if someone access your file or did something on it, it has to be on ready status or ap. He said in a day or two it will go back to issued. And yesterday afternoon my status at ceac changed to ISSUED. Such a relief.

What the supervisor told me is exactly what happened to your case. They had to re open to correct some data. Same with mine. I hope you get the corrected visa soon.

I'm not sure about changing of created date. People told me to look after the status updated date. And in my case it has changed. Thanks for the input.

How were you able to talk to supervisor? I called amd was omly able to tlk to an agent. I noticed on our visa status its stil ap, but theres a new date under "status update" what does that mean? Did they open case? We had to send w2, and we did last thursday

How long would it stay ap? Had interview nov 24 then they asked for w2, sent it the same week thursday...whn will it be issued? They said they will issue after they recieve w2

At my hubbys interview they asked for w2, and the Co said after they recieve it they will issue it. Hubby sent it thursday last week....how long will it be ap?

So, during my husbands interview (IR1) on nov 24, they said its approved but just have to send them the w2 from my dad (I-864A). When. My husband sends it to Embassy via 2Go does is arrive at Embassy same day? How long after will visa be issued? My husbnpand chose to pick up visa

Never heard of CFO wanting a copy of the NBI. Some have used the NBI as a picture ID, but CFO doesn't ask for a copy.

From my link under the CFO tab.

Required documents + + "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: 2X2 passport photo (Filipina), originals & copies of; CENOMAR (CEMAR and marriage certificate if married), certified birth certificate. Passport and copies of bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together. From USC (copies of) - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been married before) are the most common requests. (USC if you have never been married before CFO has been asking for a copy of the tax return - if you provide that to CFO then for sure BLACKEN OUT YOUR SSN and other vital info that should not be made public. )

Whose birth certificate, mine ( petitioner) or my husbands?

now for nbi clearance, will they accept the "personal copy" that comes with it when you get it?

What to bring in CFO (based on my experience)

* Online appointment form (I don't have this before since they haven't implemented at that time I had mine.)

* Passport (have a 2 photocopies of the bio page and the visa stamp)

* NSO birth certificate and cenomar (actually they really get mind but I just bring them just in case)

* Completed CFO form (serve as your kodiko for filing the form they will give you.)You should know your petioner details like his complete address, telephone number, age, birthday, or even his previous spouse information and divorce degree if his divorced.

* NBI Clearance ( have 2 copies also) it is advisable to have a photocopies of all your documents.

* Money for the payment. Have enough money coz there is no jeep route heading that building so Taxi and pedicab are the only way going there if u don't have a car. Also bring a small drinking water, the entire process could take 4-5 hours.

* and lastly bring proof of relationship.

Good luck

Do they keep amy documents you bring?

What does my husband need to bring to the CFO seminar that he needs to attemd before coming to US? I get confused because there are diff answeres...would they accept photocopies of anything or just originals? Do they keep them or just look at them? Thanks!

Is it shorter if he just picks it up?

How long does it take after interview for visa to be delivered from us embassy manila? My hubby is in metro manila...

Just keep checking with them the important thing is you have your interview date get ready for medical and CFO your almost done

Interview date was set On Oct 30 FOR Dec 9...but nvc has not mailed our case yet to embassy

Thanks...I got interview date oct 30..I mean how long once they send our case to embassy does it take to get to embassy

How long does it take our case to ship from nvc to embassy??

Being that NVC is the one that schedules the interviews, yes, you can call and find out if one's been scheduled for your case yet.

Remember, emails are delayed, so calling will always be the fastest way to find something out.
