Hi nilo jayr, parang hindi 221g yung tawag sa case ko? Parang they didn't tell me that and they didn't give me ang paper with 221 g in it. Reverification request lang binigay sa akin for NSO.

Ate CnYforever I assumed na 221g po because they requested for a document eh.

Received visa Jan 15!

flight is on jan 25! 1 more weeeeeek!!!!!!

Congratulations po!! Same flying date! Ingat po sa atin!

Noted! Thanks--checking my UiD now. Lol

And good news, I was on a call with the Immigrant Unit at the Embassy just a few min ago due to the status change on the CEAC website this morning from "Admin Processing" to "Ready." It got me worried---only to find out the Consul approved my visa! To be released by tuesday or wednesday next week and sent to me via 2Go! Yehey! I am sooooo happy I can kiss you all!!!! Hahahaha! Not so bad bad with my 221g--took only a few days. Whew! I can breathe now!

Congrats and Goodluck ate RedPepper! Konting kembot na lang po Issued na yan!

Annie had her CFO class on the 15th and her embassy interview the next day. Both went smoothly and she was approved. Now waiting for the visa to be shipped. The information on tracking status is VERY useful.

Thanks!

Congratulations and Goodluck!

Hey January interviewers!

I'm glad I found this thread. My fiancee had her interview January 16th and was approved. CEAC now says our case is "ready" with last update being January 17. Sounds like it will go to Administrative Processing and then possibly back to Ready before being Issued?

I'm happy to see many of you getting your visa within 1-2 weeks of your interview! Good luck everyone!

Hi the Americans! Welcome to this thread! I have Ready recently on my CEAC website status. That's when 2 things:

1) for interview

2) the visa consul has approved the visa, pending printing and releasing of passports with visas.

Seems to me, your visa status will go "Issued" soon! The operator told me visas are scheduled or printing Wednesday and Thursday this week--that includes my visa! Yey! Hope your worries doesn't happen and be all smooth! Good luck to all if us!

If it were "Administrative Processing" on their website that's when she's going through Administrative Processing.

Ready--could also mean, Approved, but pending visa Printing. Seems to me, your fiance's visa will be sent out soon!

Hi RedPepper.

My Visa StatuS in "Ready Status" which said check back after two days. i had my interview last Jan.15. The american consul told me she cant decide yet that day coz she might have found something from my fiance's background about something to do with criminal case which i answered her my fiance dont have any. and as per asking my fiance he told me his record is clean.

checking Jan.16 is under "AP" checked back Jan.17 its "Ready" already. comes weekend and Martun Luther Monday so maybe the two business days update started yesterday.

what you think about my case?

[NoOtherWoman 0]

By the way RedPepper. what no can u call the US Embassy Manila to ask about the visa status?

Thanks in advance.

"Ready" means the consul who reviewed your case after the interview has endorsed your case for visa issuance--at least that was what the operator told me. Because if they were in doubt or there were issues needing clearance, clarification, or additional documentation needed--it should have been "administrative processing" they placed there.

Looks like a COngratulations is on the way!!! Yay!!!

US Embassy Manila (+632) 301 2000

Then dial 7 for visa concerns,

Then 2 for immigrant visa concerns...(or the other way around! Lol)

if in doubt, you can listen to the automated voice response system for instructions to what extension number to key in:-)

I say our visas are about to be sent out to us this week! Good luck!

Thank you so much RedPepper i thought of it that way too. as per reading forums here and make my analyzation it seems like they made the decision to approved my visa and about to issue it

GoOdLuck to Us! Hoping and Praying wel have the visa this week

God Bless!

[RedPepper 9]

My best guess is--if our visas get printed this Wednesday or Thursday, it'll get issued by Friday--Visa on hand by Saturday--depending on our location though. That is a rough guess for our visa issuance given that you are in the Luzon region. Other regions take longer most probably. Thank you too!

Have a great day everyone! Here's to the best journey we ever had

In our lives! ;-) Cheers!

Thats A Very Good Pattern you got there RedPepper.

Im gonna pick-up it up in 2Go SM Manila just thnknf it wil be more fast rather to wait at home since im just nearby.

Cheers!

[RedPepper 9]

Darn! Why couldn't I do a decent edit with my iPhone?! It's annoying with this limited screen display! Grrr!

Sorry for the duplicate posts! I couldn't clean it up :-(

P.S. I also have to do something about this long timeline on my signature. Every time I post it takes up a lot of space on this thread, and every thread I respond to. It's annoying and embarrassing! Lol!

Will do something about it as soon as I get my Laptop repaired. Lol

For now you will have to be patient with me! Lol

Again good luck to everyone and cheers! xxx
