Hi You can check what I did in here 

@sbd I pm you.

@Gelline did you get your passport yet? My daughters visa got issued 3days after they received the document. Does anyone know how long will it take from issued to be delivered? When I entered the passport number in 2GO it says invalid. Any advise?  Thank you 

@Cxxxxxxxxxxx yeah I tried to track in 2go using passport number it says invalid. I'll keep you posted 

@Cxxxxxxxxxxx I got issued today. Thank God. 3days after they received my documents. I have an emergency with my father in law and I sent them an email about it.

@Cxxxxxxxxxxx I'll pray for it. Thank you so much. Goodluck to us. For CFO sticker I heard you can get it through email in 2 business days. You can use that temporary sticker also you dont need the actual sticker per CFO. atleast that's what they told me when I called last month. Goodluck to us.

@Cxxxxxxxxxxx ok good to know. May I know from issued how long did you wait for delivery?  We are in batangas. Thank you so much.

@Cxxxxxxxxxxx does the 3weeks include the passport delivery?

Thank you

Does anyone here who got interviewed on September 29th and got issued visa?

Thank you.

@Gelline congratulations! Nice to hear some good news. Hope it wont take forever on 2go delivery.

@MaureenH how long does it take before you get your kids passport from visa issuance?

If you are flying with PAL you dont need swab test result to show on departure. On their website they have 20 steps to follow for arrival in the Philippines. Hopefully I get to leave on the 17th. If you are still Filipino citizen of dual you dont need Visa. Otherwise you need to have visa. It's quick process.

@MaureenH I asked that in PAL when I booked my flight. They said no need on departure because you will have swab test on arrival.

@Gelline did you get any new update on your Visa? I saw others who was interviewed September 15, got their visa issued. Maybe try to call or email the embassy.

My daughter got 221g, I mailed the docs they requested but will reach Manila on Friday. I'm just looking on a positive side that we'll send the documents along with her passport. I will call and email them on Monday.

@MaureenH yap. still good news. Happy for you. Next is CFO. 

@Jorgedig you think I didn't know that? Well fyi, us citizen cant get Philippine visa without booking a flight. Just so you know.

@MaureenH congratulations. So it takes 2weeks then.

Hello does anyone knows the timeline for 221g after the submission of documents? My daughter just finished the interview, unfortunately they are asking for the US marriage certificate. Now I need to reschedule all my itinerary. I hope this will not take months.

@MaureenH ok thank you. ill keep my ticket for now. I will reschedule if did not get a visa a week before my flight schedule. I would think that the fact that they approved the expedite request, it means it will just be quick and visa is ready. I hope your kids Visa will arrive soon. Goodluck to us. I'll keep you posted as well on developments on my end. Thank you so much.

@MaureenH did embassy tell you why it's taking so long? Did they give you any timeframe?

@MaureenH how was your kids interview?  My daughter will have her interview on the 29th. Did you get your visa already? I hope the visa will get delivered right away. I booked my flight on 3rd week of October to pick her up. When you get their Visa you still need the CFO sticker right? Feel free to email me directly, randr7914@gmail.com since we are on the same boat. Thank you so much.

@3naD I'm in batangas. I suggest you schedule the medical then email them when it's done. Allow 3 business before you follow up. This is based on my experience. I'm just sharing for others to know. No harm in asking. I've been asking USCIS then NVC then Embassy. They all approved my case. Goodluck. Let me know how it goes.

@ronh I did her online slec registration and mail it to them via UPS express.

@3naD it's 2 weeks after the completion of medical. I thought it will be quick because its expedited. The fact that they approved it the interview is just formality I think. As long as medical is good.

I did everything on my own. I just keep them posted. Hahaha 

Hello all, I just want to share as I'm on the same boat. Expedite request approved. so i scheduled my daughter's medical and email embassy when she's done. Embassy get back to me after 3 business days with interview scheduled date. Though st.lukes used to have 1day medical process for minor, now it takes 2 days. Then if your child has colds and cough you can't finish the medical.
