hello VJ family. I'm new here. I want to share my interview with my wife at Manila Embassy. Our visa category is F4. Our schedule of interview last May 21, 2013 the interview went good, easy, and short lasted about 2 mins. only. The consul is good, young lady. She did not told us that we are approved nor denied. She said wait for our number to be call, after a minute our number flashed on the screen thb that's the last window, their is a filipino guy who handed us a white form 221 g with a checked box "WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US". We don't have any idea what is that we thought that is a normal. But the guy told us. Sir, your application is okay but we need to review your case. Then he told us to dropped out the 2go form. Our passport is retained and documents. Are we approved or denied? Anyone here in the same boat?

always check your status from the uscis.... and the 2go,, from me and my friends experience in that case ur approved, caused if they have more questions for you guys or more documents that's needed to be submitted they will give you a letter of instruction's ...or they will call u in the window and explain to u more stuff.. i guess congratulations the next day u will already see changes in ur status

AP happens, sometimes it takes a couple weeks, sometimes a month, rarely longer than that.

The fact that they kept the passport is a good thing.

(pop down to the Philippine forum say "Hi"... )

Don't sound like you know it all. Religion matters when it comes to national security even if they don't tell you that. Read other posts.

Really ~ ? !

So "they" told you this... ?

Did USEM ask you to show proof that your petitioner is still alive and well? Did you submit your petitioner's 2012 ITR and W2?

Longest AP for Philippines I've encountered is 90 days.
