It can take 5 to 10 days after approval. My fiancee received it 8 days after her September 7 approval.

Seems like it was about 7 days for us also...

My fiancé will go to my interview. His employer allow him to take 2 weeks vacation, no extension. How long will it take to receive the visa after it gets approve? I'm worried if we can't receive it by 2 weeks. I will travel alone. :(

for normal times, for no bad weather and suspension of office will take 4-7 business days.

if there was no problem with your papers you can received it after 2 business days. we have it pick-up at 2go mall of asia. we had our interview friday morning (sept 14), then we received it tuesday afternoon (sept 18). Don't wait for the text message, you can call 2go and inquire about your passport. They said that they usually released the passport at 4pm.

this made me worried..:( you guys got your visa already and mine is still with postcrying.gif i dont want to be negative but this is the 3rd one I read who got their visa with the same interview date as mine...wacko.gif

what time did you finish your interview?headbonk.gif

i got mine 16 days after my Visa was approved. My friend who got approved the same day as me got it after 3-4 days i think. when i can and tell them that they said, it's a case to case basis. so it really depends.

Wow, i figured Monreal got it in 5 days because of her location. Guess i was wrong. That sucks it took so long for you guys.

It was all good, we weren't flying home for another month after that.

At the end of August there were no appointments availabe. So I kept checking online for embassy appoints for nealy 2 days. Every hour that I was awake. Then a September 7 appointment opened up. Here files arrived in Manila September 5 and her medical was September 3. Everything was very tight. But from NOA2 to visa approval was around 3 weeks.

You da man!

We will do same!

NEVER give up!

Thanks!!!
