We kept using CEAC to check the status until it said Visa Issued.  About a day after it said Visa Issued we received an email with a tracking number that we could use to track the package until it arrived at the pickup location.  This was for London, though, and I'm not sure how it works for the Philippines.

Thank you for thinking of me! I've pretty much accepted that my medical results aren't going to be there by tomorrow (it will be an amazing surprise is they are). I'm not stressing out about it as from what I've seen it only delays it by maybe a day or so. 

 

I've just had to make a quick dash to get US sized passport pictures as I completely forgot .

What's your current date updated on CEAC listed under Ready?  If it's today or from Friday then it's possible that they did receive your medical results.  It's also possible that they might get them tomorrow before your interview, depending on what time that is and what time their courier service delivers.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Why didn't I think to do that!   

 

Just checked it was last Thursday but they wouldn't of had it by then as I was told on Friday by knightsbridge that it was being signed by the final panel and being sent today. 

 

Does that seem strange that it's been updated?

It was probably updated last Thursday because they were prepping for cases this week.  I noticed that my fiancé's status updated 2 times after his medical, once on the 21st which was probably the receipt of the medical and once on the 22nd which was probably in prep for the interview.  So, my best guess is that it was updated on Thursday as it was printed/pulled together for your interview tomorrow.

Ah okay, that makes sense. I'll check it again in the morning, my interview is at 12.30 so maybe I get lucky and it arrives first thing in the morning!!

I’m sure this questing has been asked a thousand times, I’m just lazy to go back 4,000 posts to find out. How much time should we give between the medical exam and the interview date for Philippines?  I’m sending my fiancé to Manila and was hoping I could keep him there for the week or so duration. Traveling to Manila is not just costly but hours and hours of travel time. Thanks for any advice.

My thought are with you.  Good luck.  I swear it feels like family after what everyone has shared in their experience on Visa Journey. It has helped so much!  Though it had been a long journey to get where we are today, I honestly can’t say I would have a single hair on my head if it were not for everyone’s support on here.  Thanks so much to everyone.

Does the Philippines schedule through ustraveldocs?

@GInAustin      It won't let me edit....

 

The reason I ask is....if you schedule through ustraveldocs it gives you a calendar with available dates....you can schedule when you want.

It's my understanding that if the medical isn't done in the Philippines they give you the 221 and it's approved shortly thereafter. I've also read that things move VERY quickly in the Philippines so hopefully you will be with your fiance soon. 

 

But I know in Algeria the medical results can take up to 15 days.... (Everything is slow in Algeria)

I am so excited 😁😁 I can't believe it is really happening after that long long time we have waited. I am still here though waiting for your interview and your approval 😀

[Missabc 626]

I 

Am

Approved 

 

They are still awaiting my medical results but apart from that they are happy and told me I should receive my visa within 2 weeks.

 

I feel like streaking through London I'm so happy but I don't feel like being arrested
