Good luck! My fiance was told 2-weeks for visa delivery after she passed her interview. That was on August 4th, and she has not heard anything - 2GO was supposed to text her when they're going to deliver. So I called the 214 number to try to find out what is going on. All they could tell me is that her passport is still there in the Embassy, that "the two weeks is just an estimate", and read some blah-blah I already knew off of the screen. They don't know anything except that it is still IN the Embassy. They cant tell me what stage of processing, nada. They refused to transfer me to anyone with a brain. And when I told them I had already purchased tickets because they told her 2-weeks, it was just "oh I'm sorry sir, we strongly advise people not to but flight tickets until after they get their visa". Encouraging me after the fact!?!? Well, I only got them because someone there told her she'd have it in two weeks! It all fell on deaf ears... I hope I'm not screwed with these tickets I bought.

My fiance is actually in Singapore right now. They asked her to pick up the visa after a week. I'm not really sure how it works in PI after approval. I asked my fiancee to go back to Singapore to get the visa processed over there because it's easier. I hope everything will go well with you guys! Thanks much!
