My fiance got a 221g and was requested to provide an undated Certificate of Good Conduct.  Same was provided to the Embassy on October 30th. We are awaiting Administrative Processing for Visa issuance and are hoping same will be completed by November 22nd, as I am with my fiance in the Philippines and would for her to be able to fly back to New York City with me on November 24th.  Anyone here have any experience with 221g processing in the Manila embassy?

Go to the Philippines regional forum,  you will find many people who have experienced this

If all is good after receiving the requested documents it can still be 2-4 weeks.   A 221g tends to add at least 2 weeks to the processing.

Is a certificate of good conduct the same as NBI Police Clearance? I haven’t heard the term certificate of good conduct for USEM before

Nope. The MOB clearance is just that. There are local agencies that give out a certificate of good conduct but it is not valid for the USEM

The Certificate of Good Standing from Malaysia is the equivalent of a NB I in the Philippines.   Thankfully,  same was accepted and her visa was issued.  We will both be departing Manila and.flying.to NYC on November 24th.

My husband had the same situation

 

Oct 25 interview refused visa and issued 221g due to lack of original marriage certificate

Oct 28 Marriage certificate was received by embassy as per 2go tracking

Oct 30 case was placed under administrative processing

Nov 12 I called the embassy to have the case escalated due to no update for weeks. The updated the case but still on administrative processing the date updated was just changed

Nov 14 I called the embassy again to escalate the case and reminded them that my case was originally expedited before it was sent by NVC to US embassy. 30 mins later case was updated to Issued.

Nov 17 still waiting for 2go tracking to get updated. 

 

True that case differs by situation, this somehow calms me down whenever I find almost the same case as mine and at least would get an idea how long. I would advise for you to call them to get an update. It doesn’t hurt if you try. Goodluck!

Where are you having the visa packaged delivered?

 

MOA being the quickest is usually 2-3 days after issued status.  It can be up to 10 days for other locations
