That is way too long. 9 days is longest time I've heard of until yours. I would call the Embassy and complain. It may be lost by the courier.

oh when your visa is approved and no problem, they will ask you to pay delbros for the delivery of your visa P165 within manila area and for provinces theres I think handling fee added to be paid off, you will sign a form there stating the important informations like your name, address, contact numbers ecth.......they will give you a receipt and slip where instructions, informations, cell number where you can text them whenever you have questions about your visa. It is also stated there that delivery of your visa depends also on when the US Embassy printed and make your visa delivery ready. So meaning there's also no definite schedule on when your visa will be delivered after your interview, because if for example your visa is not ready 2-3 days after your interview because the Embassy did not print it yet , theres no way that Delbros will knock on your door, this is just an example dude think positive! Delbros just do the delivery. God bless

Don't forget to pay the document verification fee at least 2 weeks before the interview so that your visa isn't held up while the embassy is checking to make sure NSO documents are genuine.

I'm one of the unluckiest here! :crying: I have been calling the embassy like every week since. They are torturing me like crazy and I hate them so much!! If you would read my previous posts in my profile, you'll know what I've gone through..My visa is still not released by the embassy and I had to be caught up with the holidays by the consul. GRRRR..

Well, since I am planning on attending the interview with Joy, I will ask the consular officer if we can pick up the visa. The interview is scheduled for Feb. 7, and I bit the bullet and bought Joy a ticket to the US, along with me, departing Manila early morning on Feb. 15. I know that I took a risk doing this, but if I wait until we have the visa in hand, I may not be able to get a ticket for Joy on my return flight at a reasonable price... so, this is a calculated risk.

So, what do y'all think our chances are that we will be able to travel back together on Feb. 15?
