Why hasn't the Visa been delivered yet?

[turtle74 0]

My Wife had her interview on July 16th. Everything went well; the consular said she was approved. but no visa yet. We did have to resubmit the NBI clearance (July 19), and when we did they said expect the visa in 3-5 days. It's a week now; almost 2 weeks from interview. Do you think they denied her? Her NBI was remarksless; she had no offenses, charges..etc. What should I do?

Looks like she is on AR.

Normally takes 2 to "whenever" weeks to get visa.

You can try calling the embassy and talk to Lorraine or Sandra.

Difficult to get a firm answer tho.

Common practice for Manila to say peeps are approved and be put on AR.

Guess they don't want a crying, questioning pinay on their hands.

Sucks.

just a week from the day you handed the NBI clearance??? if im being positive, it'll be there next week... since the CO said they will release the visa after they get the NBI... try to check delbros for update otherwise call the embassy

It sounded that you're on AR. But since you were asked to re-submit additional documents (NBI), it usually takes a minimum of 2 weeks from receipt of the documents for the CO to do review and process the visa case. If they will need to do background check/field works, then that would take more time, hopefully in your case, they will not do that. Please try to call USEM and look for Lorraine and ask for updates. Call: (632) 528-6300 Ext. 5184. Good luck and God bless!

Thanks everyone for the replies, but what's an "AR?"

[turtle74 0]

Oh I found what it means. Thanks everyone for all their help. Is an AR bad?

It's not good. Depending on what they sre checking on. It can take from a couple weeks until ????

Did she pay Delbros the visa delivery fee?

[turtle74 0]

Yes she did, but she said she doesn't have a tracking number

Oh I think I can clerify why she had to resubmit the NBI clearance; it was because she had a local police clearance and not a NBI clearance. But she gave them a clean NBI clearance after she got it

I think the tracking number is your MNL case number. It took ten days before they delivered my wifes visa.

Sounds "real good" still may take a little while but that's normal.

Bad boy not telling her to do NBI! SLap!!
