Oh I see should I delete this now?

No don't delete it, it was just moved for you to the right place to get specific info on your countries process and most in the k1 forum won't know anything about it so you wouldn't get many relevant answers.  It might be nice for those who have submitted applications this year for the Philippines to have a thread to go to. Also if you are going to your medical or interview on the same day you can arrange to meet up or give support here, especially if your partners can't be there on the day.

 

Good luck on your visa journey.

Hotel Soriente has always been good for me. 1 block from St. Luke's Ermita, a few blocks from the US Embassy. Good value for the money.

I image with all the turmoil in Syria that what you describe might be the silver lining (3 months) but I wouldn't hold my breath. I am sure that there will be delays as many of the governmental records are in a state of flux. I recommend that you stay on top of this and be in contact with the Syrian Consulate there in PI. The big question that I would have to ask them is "what is the possibility that I will receive my PC within 3 months"?. The US State Department states:

Police/Prison Records

Available to Syrian citizens residing in Syria, but may be unavailable to citizens living outside the country.

https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country/SY.html

 

You may want to call the US Embassy Manila and enquire if a PC is still required based on the 3 month window and or the state of the Syrian country.

Just some tips to think about. Wish you the best.
