OUCH why so much for the airline ticket!!? Were planning to use Skyscanner -> Vayama also, we plan her flight traveling MNL to LAX its only $419 on EVA airlines, I see also MNL to SFO is only $464 on EVA for flights 7 days advanced purchase, why was your ticket $933/$3800 is she flying first class? This is exactly why we dont plan on booking her flight till we receive notice her visa is ready for pickup at 2GO. As soon as her visa is ready for pickup at 2GO, I'll book her flight for the following Saturday after 7 days.

Because I went through Vayama, I am restricted to stay with the same airlines. Please note that I also have a K2 that is coming as well so my fees are double, as well as my penalty fees for changing airlines. No refund eligibility either. I originally had them both booked 21 days in advance. I paid out over $800 in penalty fees for changing flights. Some airlines charge up to $500 per person, then there is Vayama penalty fees as well. I also had no clue that since I had a K2, their visa's would be sent to N. Charleston, South Carolina to be processed. YES! South Carolina!! Only reason I was able to discover this was because I printed out the shipping document from 2GO and the shipper and address was fully listed.

and she has VISA IN HAND!!

Thanks Everyone for your wonderful feedback and advice!! Checking the CEAC website, we are now at "ISSUED" since August 31. Now its another waiting game before it arrives at 2GO..... :clock::clock::clock::clock:

monitor the 2Go tracking site using the UID #. CEAC site is days behind. Ours has been picked up since Friday but status on the US sites haven't been updated. Oddly enough, the passports were sent to North Charsleton, South Carolina and that is why it took longer.

My fiancé originally had his interview schedule for October 6th but a September 11 and 12th opened up! We are excited because that will cut the wait time in half but just curious if our info will change from "In Transit" to "Ready" in time and if printing it off would be enough, like I have seen many people do?
