still no visa... :'(

[jannapalmer 10]

My visa status showed "Issued" on May 24th and there hasn't been any changes since.. I keep tracking my passport across different platform (ustraveldocs, 2GO..) still nothing. I wonder when my passport would actually leave the embassy and gets delivered to me. I'm starting to get fustrated.. We hope to fly out on June 11th and we can't do anything yet without my visa..

Is it time to call the embassy now? or still too early to worry?

I just get anxious knowing that everyone else who got approved of their visa on the same day as mine already got their visa on hand.. Does it really take this long when you opt for home delivery instead of pick-up? I just live in Cavite, which is not that far from Manila...

After ISSUED the visa still has to be printed then everything has to be packaged up. I was hoping it would have been ready for 2GO by Friday. Have you checked 2GO tracking at all?

Sadly if it didn't reach 2GO Friday it won't leave the embassy until today at the earliest (Tuesday)

I did. Still invalid. I even emailed their customer service and they replied with negative, they still don't have my passport

Monday was a U.S. holiday, the embassy was not open. Hopefully your package will get out to 2GO today.

I am having the same issue as you.

I contacted the ustraveldocs ph customer service and they told me it is still in the embassy and they cannot answer why i can't track it using ustraveldocs, 2GO

So my husband and I decided to finally call the embassy to check on my visa and the agent said: "it's still under review by our consul, we'll send you a text message once it's ready for home delivery so please keep all your lines open"

And when I checked the CEAC status, it just changed back to "READY"

Omg, does that mean they're eventually gonna require additional information or documents? is this normal?

Your status went from ISSUED back to READY? That is unusual. Time will tell what is happening. Just be patient.

It also depends on where you live in the Philippines. If you live in the provinces it will take more time than that. My asawa actually went down to Davao City and picked it up in person so that she didn't have to wait another couple days for it to be delivered.

There problem is it hasn't left the embassy yet.

I just received my visa from 2go today; 2go texted me this morning it was arriving. Yesterday I was trying to track it from 2go but it also showed invalid and according to ustraveldocs my passport is still at the embassy. Another funny thing is I also received the "packet 3" today saying I can now schedule an interview hehe. So don't worry, it'll arrive soon.

Thanks. I guess I'm just worried that we might not make it there on our desired date.. we really wanted to be there in my sister-in-law's wedding..

hmmm.., We passed our interview on May 18.. still no visa

CEAC status is administrative processing last status update is May 24

The CO told us that we passed and just wait for our visa 5-10 working days and today is the 10th working day.

Should I try to call them?

No reason to call them. Everything is processing normally. Just be patient.
