Repeat medical due to long AP

[Nhona Scott 93]

Hi guys, I just got done with my 2nd medical at St lukes Extension Clinic last friday and thankfully I passed. After 8 months and 3 weeks of waiting due to Long AP I got an email from the embassy in Manila for my 2nd medical. I just wanna know how long it takes for them to issue the visa after receiving the required action/medical result? How long did it take you to change your status from ap to issued? Since I received the email from them last june 8, I couldnt view my ceac status under the Immigrant visa but I can check it through the Non immigrant visa section using my ds160 barcode. Also, when I went to pick up my passport at the embassy last thursday for my repeat medical, the Filipino consul at window 36 (who gave me back my passport) advised me to submit my updated nbi clearance via 2Go, I got confused cos going back to the email they sent me only the new medical exam at st Lukes was being marked and nothing on the new nbi clearance. Either way, Id still submit them my updated nbi clearance on monday as the previous one has already outdated/expired. My 2nd question is can I still send it via 2go with the submission letter from the courier itself that I was adviced to print? If yes, do I still need to include the printed copy of the email the embassy sent me (which is only the required document for my new medical)? Sabi kase dapat kasama yung printed copy from the embassy’s email e yung nakamark lang naman dun is yung submission for my new medical at hindi yung para sa nbi clearance. Please help 🙏🏻

Wow, well that kinda makes sense but still...8 extra months is crazy.  Happy you two are close to the end of this journey.

Medical’s only good for 6 months and is expired that’s why it has to be repeated.  Police cert is only good for a year, that’s why the guy at the window advised you to go ahead and update it.

Bring the 221(g) Request for Evidence (RFE). to the SLEC.
