Hang in there, my estimated date started today and I haven't had a full night's sleep in a week. I can only imagine how you feel. Easier said than done. I wish I could go to a store and buy some patience, because I'm completely out.

I've been staying up till 4/5am UK time to see if we get an approval for a week now! When you go to the patience store can you pick me up some patience too? haha!

At least we've got VJ and we're not all feeling alone in this. It will happen, I just think we're wanting it too bad. Hoping you get some good news this week or next :)

Visa USA. No other Embassy uses the CENOMAR, just the Philippines. So asking your question probably would not get answered. Go over to the Sub-form for the Philippines and ask questions like that.

in signing up for DS 160 online, on the Mailing address part of the beneficiary, how should we input our address if they're asking for the *state. Should we type there our Province instead?

Yes you can use the Province for the "State".

This is a question that should be asked in the sub-forum for the Philippines. Most here are processing through different Embassy's and therefor may not be able to lend a hand with your questions for the Philippines. I'm sure many are like me in that they don't know what a province is unless they are familiar with the Philippines.

They will grant the visa. It's not the Embassy's responsibility to determine if they can actually travel or not. That up to the her. CO's only concern is if they meet the visa requirements and she is getting vetted each step of the way. Next is the Embassy.

They just have to get beyond immigration at the departing airport. That's where they need the notarized letter from the BF/Husband/Xhusband/Father.

It must be different for every country then because I have asked the embassy in Sweden and they want it presented or the visa will not be granted.

Yes that is a good caveat to check your Embassy for their directions. Each is different. That's why asking questions here is sometimes not the best place to ask. Most times one should be in their sub-forum asking these types of questions. If you have a small group, then add it to the main forum and someone there may have your answer and most likely the one that the Embassy dictates.

Going through the approval dates, there was a big bunch approved on Tuesday. Not so many Monday, Wednesday, or Thursday. I'd have to look further back to see if that's a pattern but if there isn't a wave tonight, it might be Tuesday that they release batches.

I've been emailing the writer of the app with search suggestions (search by approval date, search by approved only) and he seems like a pretty cool guy.

I look through couple hundreds case prior to our and found the latest approved date was on the 3rd, nothing on 4th.

Do we have to wait the 35 days to call for a case number or can we still try calling in 10 business days and try?

Reading from many users, they called NVC 10 BUSINESS DAYS after NOA2 and they were able to get the NVC receipt number
