My wife passed the interview! She said it was 3 hours and twenty minutes start to finish. I almost puked from the anxiety and wait. Kept calling and calling.. Of course the phone was off cause it was with security...

Thank you for all your help!!! But... She was told to wait 10 days for her visa.. Is that something they tell everyone? Cause I read examples of people getting it in 2 days... Will she know it's coming by telephone call? Will she be given a tracking number? I'm so happy! Thank God!

Next I'll be asking how to open the package!

:)

Thank you all again!

Don't open the brown packet! It will say not to open in Tagalog, just the one with her visa in it. Then she'll need to get her CFO, ten days is the norm for what they will tell you but most case 3-4 day by Air 21 they will text her when it's on the way or she can track it.

Congratulations to you both!good.gifAnother pink slip from PI.

Yes, 10 days is normal. However, some gets theirs in less than the given days.

Air21 will give her a trucking number upon receiving the packet from Embassy.

Opening the visa packet is pretty easy. Just unsealed the plastic wrap and slowly slide the passport out and you can also seal it back so that the envelope inside will be totally protected.

There is a "Notice" that is attached with it that says; Do not open or even attempt to open the yellow/brown envelope.
