The interview was scheduled AM. Wife appeared 5am at US Embassy and was finished with the entire process by 2PM the same day. The consul officer (female) was very polite but never indicated a problem with documentation and instructed us to pay delbros after 2 minutes of a few questions and taking a quick glance at supporting evidence offered of previous communications, email, postal cards, ect ect.
After submitting delbros fee and beleiving we were approved it was then that my wife was advised that our case was put in Administrative Review for a document check and we were told to wait 4 to 6 weeks for the embassy to mail her a new apointment date. Wife was persistent with consul workers and found that we could obtain additional copies directly from NSO Quezon city and hand deliver to consul window in an attempt to speed up our AR timeline. Wife obtained additional copies of mc and bc and provided to us embassy the very next day. We remained in AR for only 3 weeks before receiving visa from delbros.
Embassy is not very efficient and truthful when giving updates by phone. Truthfully this embassy is a real pain to deal with and looking for answers to questions will only get you the standard canned responses. The embassy could not even tell us if and when the visa was released, we found out by watching our case number plus 01 at the delbros website.
I was relieved to be finished dealing with this embassy and be on our way.
