What's your status on the CEAC website? Issued?

no ma'am... its still READY. last update was Sept 17 :(

It's been two weeks since my interview date I still haven't received any confirmation from the courier (2GO Ayala) since it is for pick up. According to travel.state.gov the visa status should be available online 7-10 days, mine is more than the time frame. I also checked at https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/ the Document Delivery Information at my dashboard is blank but the first week after my interview it says Your Passport is still at US Embassy. I also sent an email at passportstatus@ustraveldocs.com ... they replied There is no status update available for the passport number submitted. Again..the first week after my interview it says Your Passport is still at US Embassy. Checked at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-passportretrieve.asp same message There is no status update available for the passport number submitted.

Dont be sad, just keep checking status, it will soon show ISSUED. Once it shows issued. Your visa is in final processing you should get your passport in a couple of days.

Yeah, time to call the embassy and figure out why it's beyond 10 days.

"If you have not received your passport in more than 10 days after your interview, please contact the Embassy call center at (02) 982-5555 and (02) 902-8930, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, to track the delivery of your passport."

10 days means nothing. There is no time frame for the embassy approving your visa. Until you see ISSUED for status on the CEAC website.... you need to be PATIENT.

Two weeks is the average if there is such a thing. But it has taken as little as three days and as long as three months, even when there are no issues or any logical reason why some should go so fast or take so long. If you are at T+2 weeks, it should be any day now.

Just don't think there is a problem because most of the time if it takes 3 to 4 weeks, there is no problem; it is just one of those unexplainable ones that took longer for no apparent reason.

I suggest you look in the Philippines forum, as there are many people who were interviewed right around your time. That will give you a better idea of how long it is taking recently.

Ours took 13 calendar days, but that was back in June. Lots of things can happen in four months.
