No, issued means the next step is to print the visa, affix it in the passport, package everything up for pickup by 2GO....then DELIVERY!!

Four questions...

Q1) Who might know all the phases of VISA processing (in order of occurence) at USEM-MANILA

I have seen the following:

READY

ISSUED

Q2) I was planning to schedule 2 weeks in Manila to attend the interview with Fiancee and hopefully escort her back

Reading the dialog herein this does not even seem possible. Instead of the 5 -10 days its now seemingly taking a

month.

Q3) Can you change the 2GO delivery location after you initially specify it?

We planned to collect the Visa at Mall of Asia. But if we dont have it I may

have to return and she'll have to return home which mean we'd have to

reroute the 2GO delivery. Can the Visa be delivered to a hotel?

Q4) Is this normal or is this just the holiday season adding delays?

Any other sugstions?

Embassy states visa will be delivered 7-10 days after ISSUANCE, which is not the interview date. Some get theirs quickly, for us it was a full two weeks.

Reading the dialog herein this does not even seem possible. Instead of the 5 -10 days its now seemingly taking a

reroute the 2GO delivery. Can the Visa be delivered to a hotel?

At the last window after the interview when they confirm everything is OK or not, then you can change your delivery instructions - but you have to speak up as they will not ask about that.

Q4) Is this normal or is this just the holiday season adding delays?

Things are running normal for processing, some are requiring AP of the extended variety for whatever reasons but that is case specific.

Any other sugstions?

No, issued means the next step is to print the visa, affix it in the passport, package everything up for pickup by 2GO....then DELIVERY

but their are two meanings of ISSUED, The 1st one is ISSUED (FINAL PROCESSING) and the 2nd one ISSUED ( We have authorized issuance of your visa. Barring unforeseen problems.)
