Philippines	Feel that we are moving backwards with US Embassy	Hi there! If its just a siple request for further information, it does not seem logical for anyone to make a decision for that matter, especially a higher up. Normally, as soon as u provide them whaat they asked, it should be approved and wouldnt take them 6 weeks for that! if you are really needing it immediately, you/she can go to the embassy at window X and ask questions. Maybe they can pull the file and give you/her an update! We went to window X two times to ask questions about our case and had it expedited....we picked our packets 3 and 4 because they were not delivered to us in a timely fashion. This could be a long shot but thats the only thing we can say! Anyway, good luck! We are both so upset about this VISA interview process...maybe someone out there can give us some advice. Olive had to get her NBI Clearance and NSO CENOMAR with her alias name spelling. She had neglected to put down her misspelled name on these two documents. She received her NBI from Angeles and took that back to the Embassy. The Embassy told her to go to the NSO Pasay and pay the fee and they would pick up the CENOMAR and take care of it. She did this on the same day as her interview (7/23). She called the NSO on 7/30 and was told that the Embassy had already pickup up the a.m. and her documents were not completed yet, however they should be done by Monday or Tuesday. She call late on Monday and was told they were completed but she could not pick them up and deliver them to the Embassy...only the Embassy could pick them up. She was told that they were to be released to the Embassy on Friday (8/6 yesterday). The Embassy told me around 12 p.m. that they did not have them and that the VISA could take up to 6 more weeks because it would have to go before the Consolute??? I didn't stop there and called back again about 1 p.m and was told that the NSO pickup wouldn't be until about 4 p.m. and once again that there could be 6 more weeks of waiting. We don't know if the papers arrived at the Embassy I tried to call many times around 5 p.m. and couldn't get anyone to answer the phone a message kept telling me to "please try again later" On the Embassy site it says they are open until 6 p.m. for phone calls...but guess not! We just don't know what to do at this point...it seems everytime we take a baby step forward we get pushed back a mile and are feeling that this VISA process is never going to end. I have contacted my Senator's office and one is looking into what is going on while the other one just seems to be giving me the run around too. I also am waiting for a call back from my congressman. I would appreicate any feedback or suggestions on what to do about this. I know that she is legally free to marry and her NBI clearance was fine.
