After interview in us embassy Manila

[Zzyzx 106]

We had interview on Friday Oct. 6.  It just changed from Ready to Administrative Processing today.  So I'm taking that as part of the process and a good sign.  Hope it isn't a Trick but a Treat.

It depends on how you selected to receive it and where you live.  If you are from Manila area then 5-7 days. If you pickup at TOGO office at Mall of Asia then the fastest.  If delivered then a few days slower. If in Luzon provinces then I have seen 8-12 days. Other Islands longer like 12 -24. The type of Visa doesn't matter.

 

Since you said that you are IR-1, don't forget to pay the immigrant fee on-line.

What's immigrant fee? Is that the one my petitioner need to pay before going to USA once we get our visa?

Yes sir it is. But it can be paid prior to getting to the USA, but the longer you wait to pay it the longer you will wait for the greencard.

Great news!   Today is Friday, embassy isn't open on weekends, so maybe by Tuesday (but you could get lucky  ) the package will be ready for 2GO to pickup.   If you are metro Manila is should be quick after that. )

I'm outside manila, 1.30 hours to get there (no traffic). I requested to send our visa to our home. But if will stay couple days in 2go b4 sending to ours probably i will going to pick up in their office. 

Is their main office to pick up is in 2go Moa office?

The address you have on record with the embassy (USTRAVELDOCS) is where 2GO will deliver.  You could call 2GO about picking it up at there office.

 

Here is a list for 2GO locations:

Congrats!  Another data point, my Fiancee's K-1 changed to issued today Feb. 13.   Can't yet track it on 2Go but I'm guessing it hasn't been picked up yet.  Looks like the Manila Embassy is moving fast on easy cases like ours.
