When did you submit your F's pay stubs? How long did they notify you that they have the documents already? I was interviewed last Sept 12 and was asked for documents too. A week after submitting it, they asked for the original docs which was sent by my F. The documents were received at USEM last Monday (via Fed Ex), but USEM hasn't notified me about it yet.

Hopes up! We'll receive our visas soon. In 2 business days, your status might be 'ISSUED' already

My interview was on Sept.25,they kept my passport but requested another divorce documents from my fiance. I sent the documents Sept.30 and 2go sent me an SMS that USEM received the package though it said "NO POD 10/02/2013". What does it mean?

I checked status today, it is updated 03 Oct. 2013, though it didn't change anything its still in AP with 221G.

Does it mean that they have not reviewed the documents I sent?

Thanks! There is hope. Let's just be thankful that our case was not that worse like the others who had gone to 2nd interview/FPU (i saw some cases on visa journeys facebookpage). Our wait is worth it. May pag-asa. hehe

I submitted my fiance's paystubs last Sept 30 in a 2Go branch and by October 1, it was received by the embassy, my case was under "administrative processing" until today October 3, it changed to "your case is open.....".....

i sure hope our case would be "ISSUED" soon...

I've been following timelines of people who are ap for a long time like me. And I notice that once it changed to ready open case, thats it pancit! haha There are few recent issued status this week (people with 221g like me) seems like they are working on it.

I honestly do not have any idea as to what "NO POD" means. but i remember my case status being "updated" twice but the "administrative processing status" havent changed... i suggest you just be patient. i know it's kind of frustrating to not know what's really happening with our applications but as what others have said, let us keep our spirit's high

Thanks Nikoy!

I was just wondering though coz they also received my package the same day as yours. Yes,it's really frustrating. Thank you.

And also, i did not receive any notification that they got the docs i sent. I actually called their call center the day i sent my docs to ask if i will receive notifications when they receive my docs but the agent told me that the embassy will not notify you. However, she gave me an email add where i can ask about my case. It's ivmanilareplies@state.gov.... Go to manila embassy website to see the "format" they want for the email so they could easily sort out ur email to them... Just type in "ivmanilareplies" in the search engine of manila embassy's website so u wont have to browse thru everything... Lets all keep our hopes high

Thanks again! We'll probably do the email inquiry if we don't get any update until Monday. Thanks for the info.

I don't really know why it's taking a week or so for my case for the embassy to receive my documents.. I have been worrying a lot cause my case was last updated on Sept. 26

Keeping the faith and hope that USEM will process mine too..
