receiving the visa after interview,,

[davenjanet 22]

How likely is it to go beyond 2 weeks? Janet has her interview on July 23rd. I am scheduled to fly into PI August 2nd and leave with her August 8th. I know the standard refrain - don't book anything till you have the Visa in hand. But it's pretty hard to coordinate one rt flight, a one way flight, work schedule, kid schedule, etc. at the last minute. So I was willing to risk it - it gives us 15 days between the interview and the last day before we are to fly out.

OTOH if going over 2 weeks is common I might have to rethink this all.

Opinions?

For my wife the interview was 21 March, the visa arrived April 4th (wife lived in Makati area). You can do the math on that.

I think you "may" be OK... but still that is a big MAY.

Where in the Phils is your fiancée?

She'll be with her family in Alcoy, Cebu but she is having the visa delivered via 2go at Ayala Mall.

The next available flights that work for me would be leaving Manila August 12th, so that might be safer.

I would go with the added breathing room. Less stress = longer life

Probably a good call.
