Thanks for your prompt response! We tried to submit an inquiry on the SLEC website but could not get through without the case #. From some other threads, I a) gathered that this is something that the Embassy has to provide (even though it's not in the 221g letter) and 2) that they can take their time to provide this (someone was waiting 7 months for it and I'm not sure if it ever got provided). I would be curious to hear more about your experience if you've gone through the same process. Thanks!

Was anyone here able to successfully navigate this matter? If so, how? Please let me know. Thanks! -Carlos

Did you guys ever receive a resolution? We have to re-do the medical exam now as well (following DS-5535 clearance as of today, which took 3 months or around 60 business days). I proactively called the Embassy asking them for the Health Case ID number about 2 months ago and they still haven't released it. Any inputs here would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello, Has anyone here been issued a 221G at the US Embassy in Manila? I'm particularly interested in those who started to go through this process in 2022. Long story short - my spouse's visa interview on Dec. 12, 2022 went well but they asked for the following through the 221G letter: 1) The *original* NBI clearance (we brought in a copy by accident) 2) An upload of my 2021 tax returns to CEAC (we brought in the physical copy but the ones that were approved during the DS-260 process were those for 2020 and thus they asked us to upload the 2021 tax returns to CEAC) We uploaded/submitted this on the day itself via LBC and they arrived (confirmed with the Embassy) on Dec. 14, 2022. I'm hoping that a case like this won't take too long to process (especially since his NBI clearance and medical exam results both expire by the first week of March 2023) - however, have read a lot of 221g horror stories online and would love perspective from someone who's gone through this recently. Please let me know - thanks!
