F2b retention Letter and additional submission of documents

[allanandr3w 0]

hello everyone,

may i ask anyone here (philippines) who has the same situation regarding submission of 221(g) letter re: f2b retention letter.

my interview was on september 4, 2015 and all was well until my consul told me to submit a f2b retention letter, no other documents was needed since we ask

are there anymore documents and she just told us that we go to step 5 that is the window 5 i guest for further instruction, then the person in that window told us what to do and same submit f2b retention letter. we submitted the letter on sept. 9, 2015 and until now we are still waiting.

during the interview another person has the same situation the submission of f2b retention letter, but his consul told him to go upstair (EMBASSY) for additional instruction, well the instruction was to submission add: documents like: letter of approval, cenomar, cert of naturalization of the petitioner. he did submit but at a later date somewhere 3rd week of september. he was approved just this today (October 17).

the thing is will we submit those documents that he was obliged to submit? the consul told us to submit f2b retention letter, thats it.

I know that somehow it is a case to case basis. but to enlighten may we know from you who experience this kind of situation.

After the first submission they sent snail mail for the requirements. but before that we were like calling the embassy and e-mailing them. fortunately, the emails and calls are a much faster way to get their attention instructing you what to do.

We got our visa approval after 4 months, well thats ok for me. i got my visa approve. cheers!
