VISA QUESTION, INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE

[giojoy 0]

Hello Everybody,

My parents had their interview last October 13, 2009 (yesterday) at US EMbassy Manila. But they were asking my mom to get another NBI because her name on her birth certificate is MArilyn but all the rest of the documentations were Merlyn. But her birth certificate has a name correction under it. And that was corrected years ago when my mom was applying for passport. Needless to say, they still wanted her to get an NBI to be submitted 1pm onwards anyday except for Fridays.

My mom was able to get an NBI under Marilyn but has "NO CRIMINAL RECORD", so I was asking them to go to TAFT AVE and asked for a letter of explanation.

My question is: If my mom gets the letter of explanation and send what the embassy is asking them to submit, will she automatically get approved? and Get her visa? My parents told me that they wrote the address where to send the passport and the visa but they just did COD instead of paying it.

Please help me.. please..

HELLO AGAIN,

From what I was reading here, I guess my mother is under administrative review if she got blue slip? She was asked to get an NBI clearance under her birth name, which she was able to get the next day following her interview but has NO CRIMINAL RECORD on it. She was just asked by the Filipino who was getting the forms, and an explanation that goes with it. So the one who was getting the forms said, ok and took the certificate and explanation.

I was asking my mom, if the person has said anything or if they will get their visas soon.. but she didn't. My mom siad they just took her passport and that was it.

Will they review it then? And will it take some time? I already booked them a flight this coming November 1st but wants to make sure first before I will pay the ticket.. please help me.. Thank you so much..

I assume that your Mom received a white slip and a blue slip. I also got these slips after my interview and submitted the required document 3 days after. I received my visa on the succeeding week.

The AR can take several days to few weeks. No one really knows the exact timeframe. You should diligently call the Embassy to follow-up on your Mom's case.

Good luck.
