Withdrawal of passport

[van&neil 1]

Hi everyone, I'm k1 Visa and had interview last July 18, I got 221g for clearance in China, so I decided to fly there to obtain bymyself because I don't have anybody to do it in my behalf.

I emailed the usem embassy to withdraw my passport for a while but it's already 3 weeks waiting for them to reply. Is it normal they reply this long? I even called them but the agent always say keep waiting. My case doesn't move at all because of my police clearance so I really need to travel immediately.

Do you have any suggestions how to withdraw my passport? Thanks

Check the US Embassy Manila website...they have "instructions" on how to do it.

I've heard that it's rather difficult getting a police clearance from China...wish you the best of luck!

Did you try contacting USEM about this? If it is becoming a know issue they may waiver the requirement (may)

Yes I did contact them but they replied China Police clearance is normally available. I been waiting 3 weeks for them to reply back on my email regarding withdrawal of passport but until now , I dont get any . I even called embassy few times but they only say keep waiting. Have no idea how long should I wait just to withdraw for my passport .
