Hello everyone!!! I had my interview last Monday, April 13, 2015. I just checked my visa status online but it's still on "READY". How long does it usually take to have it issued or delivered? Your answers are greatly appreciated. :goofy:(L):idea:

Thanks! We were pleasantly surprised that 2GO delivered her visa on the afternoon of the 18th to Davao del Norte. We were expecting a longer wait. Edited by RWD
