one month later, visa still hasn't been printed

[buboyNsasha 4]

Interview was on Aug. 9 and the visa hasn't been printed yet. Contacted the manila embassy and all they can say is that it's still processing so keep waiting, we will send an email to you once it has been printed. I don't understand why it is taking them this long. My fiance and I are getting really frustrated... I hope it comes soon =(

Nobody knows. May be weeks, months or years.

Aren't they going to inform u that u are under AP? and is it possible they will put u under AP even if the visa already approved by the consul?....got worried when I read this thread ....

Hi..i did my interview last aug.9, 2009. The interview went well..the CO didnt ask for any additional documents from us and she just ask me few questions about my fiance, his work, how i met him,when is the last time i saw him and thats it!It was a quick interview lasted for just less than 10 mins.or so.. After the interview the Consul just told me to wait for my number to be called on window 72 or 73. At the releasing window.. they kept my passport and told me to just wait for my visa and passport to arrive. I asked the girl how long will it take..and she said that they dont give specific date and time on when you will receive your visa and passport. Its more than a month now.. thats why me and my fiance are anxious about our application.. We tried to call the embassy almost every other day..and they just gave me the same answer.. "its still on the process and its a case-case basis".. I went back to USE this afternoon to personally check the real status of my visa. They let me come in, i went to the ticket booth for my number that will be called at window 38. I went to window 38 and inquire for the status of my visa, and the lady told me that its still on the process ( the same answer! ) I asked the lady what kind of process my visa is going into specifically..is it AP? and she told me yes! its stil under AP, i asked the lady why? coz upon the interview the CO DIDNT TOLD ME THAT IT WILL BE UNDER AP! she didnt even ask for any additional or supporting documents from us!.. I also asked her how long does the process take and she told me "maybe two weeks"! we'll never know!! and all i need to do is to wait!. We're so anxious about this.. and were getting frustated already.. The big question i have in mind is that what seems to be the reason why I put under AP Im so worried that it might need us to wait for months or years before we get our visa approved.

What's AP?

What's AP?

Administrative processing....the embassy is giving the case some additional scrutiny for whatever reason.
