Dear Friends,

May i know what is the average range of days or weeks on getting your visa & passport back after an interview in US embassy Manila?

Is there a way to receive the visa less than a week or with in a week??

do we need to pay a higher fee for an expedite delivery of a visa after an interview?, how much?

Thank you :)

Is it a Must that if it is delivered in the House: the owner of the visa must be the 1 to receive it?

:)

Thank u

Your not denied, just delayed process due to a missing document, just send them the CENOMAR ASAP

so they can process your papers.
