Days to get my visa

[chaves 0]

Hello VJ members, i just got a call from my fiancee that he already booked my flight to US. My interview date is on July 23 and my flight is on July 29, you think i will have my visa before the 29th because i still need to go to CFO to get my sticker since i will be having my CFO seminar this friday.

Thanks VJ's

The general forum recommendation is to NOT make ANY non-refundable/non-changeable plans/reservations before you have your approved visa, in your passport, in your hand. You may be lucky, you may not.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

your fiance should have waited till you have your passport and approve visa with you before he book a flight for you. God only knows if you pass or no. my deepest pray that you pass your interview!when you pass it tooks only 1 week to get your passport/visa.gudluck to you and wish you all the best.

Your fiancé should have waited to cause it will might take up to 2 weeks to get your visa if approved but we pray that everything goes well with you.

Yes, that's what i think so too. He is too excited and thought that i can get a visa within 3 days. Goodluck to us.

Hello VJ's.. my interview date is on July 23. My fiancee booked me a ticket on the 29th of July. How long does it take to get my visa at 2go branch after my interview?

Thanks

It depends on the outcome. Some appications go into AP status for a few days or weeks after the interview. All visas are not issued within such a short period of time.

Thank you guys.. gosh, we already talked about Murphy's law.. now,all i can do is see how things work for us. Worst case, i may not get a visa or will have to rebook my flight.

You should work to get your CFO out of the way quick to. Hopefully even before your visa interview.

Since you mention CFO, then your interview is at Manila. If you live in Manila or near Manila you can request that you pick up the Visa 2GO location in Manila. I am not familiar where exactly to pick it up, but from what I understand you can typically get it in about three days after it is issued by the Embassy.

However, you are cutting the process very close. If you are approved at the interview, the Embassy still takes a few days for processing of the Visa (final administrative work, printing of the visa, attaching into the passport, etc) and it goes into a status "Administrative Processing". In our case (interview was in June) this took about six days, then the visa took about 4 days to be received from 2Go (north of Manila). If you can reschedule the flight, I would push it out at least a week...

Sometimes cases are put into administrative processing for unusually long periods of time so you never really know.

Well you're doing what you can to make that flight then. Its possible if everything goes your way. Good luck.

I am going to wait until my fiancée has the visa in her hand then I will schedule her flight, but that's just me.

And as far picking up the visa, my fiance is going to pick hers up the location is at Mall of Asia (SM CITY MALL OF ASIA, Seaside Blvd, Pasay City, Philippines) for interviews at Manila.

Good luck to everyone!!!

Based on what I have read, when you pick up your visa at 2Go SM MOA, you save a day or two.. Delivery is like 10 days. With your flight schedule, you need to make sure everything you do, from CFO to making sure your files at your interview are all complete so you can fly on the 29th.

In my opinion, it is best to book a flight when you have your visa, and not before you have the visa. Thats just my opinion. Dont get me wrong.

Yes, i explained that to him. It is just a sort of luck for us. He even told me that i actually have 5 days to get my visa at hand which are 23,24,2528,29.. i leave 29th in the evening.. well, we will just hope and pray we will be lucky this time.. thank you VJ's..is there any member here who got their visa within 3 days?
