Manila US Embassy taking forever to release visa

[iMean 4]

Any Ideas why US Embassy in Manila is taking forever to release visa?

My parents had their interview on September 15 but until now they did not get the visa yet. After the interview both of my parents pass the interview but when they went to set up the delivery of the visa, they had problem with my mother's NBI, so they asked her to get another clearance and send it asap. So she did it, but until now we haven't heard anything yet. Is there anyway I could contact the embassy to follow-up? Thank you all for your response.

Well, it's only been 11 working days since their interview. Plus, the embassy was inactive during the typhoon, i think for 2-3 days. And, if your Mom had to send in an NBI document, meaning she got a 221g (I'll assume), ...I think your looking at several more weeks before her Visa is issued.

If your father had no problems, no 221G, then he should receive his visa soon.

You can contact the embassy either by phone or via email. The contact numbers and email adds are on their website.

I'm American Citizen. Either Permanent or Conditional Resident cannot file petition for parents, you have to be an American Citizen in order to file the petition, I knew it because I inquired about this when I was a green card holder.

Unfortunately someone used her name but it was clarified before we requested NBI clearance, her clearance says "NO RECORD ON FILE" and i just realized that this means trouble. Even if you passed the interview, they will tell you to complete a form and get another clearance from NBI. It's almost 1 month after their interview and until now they haven't gotten their visa, last week they said still in process. I hope they will get it soon.

Kabayan iMean,

NO RECORD ON FILE is actually good. It means no criminal record. The reason probably that she is required to get a new one as you said is that she has namesakes which is common in the Philippines or the old NBI clearance is expiring soon. It is good for 6 months only. It is good tho to have a new one so that those in the airport immigration wont find a reason to make it hard for her to go out of our country. I heard stories from friends that sometimes our immigrantion would ask for NBI clearance because they say you have criminal record. Alam mo na, red tape.

I learned that if your NBI Clearance says "NO RECORD ON FILE" meaning you HAD record but cleared out that's why the embassy asked her to complete the 221g form, but if it says "NO DERAGATORY RECORD" that means it's all good. My mom has the first one and my dad has the second one.
