Without the NBI they will put you on AR. Once you have the NBI you will need to present it. (Best in person if possible). I think you might expect a 30 day delay. Don't fret. My fiancee was married and they asked for NBI in her married name as well as the one she presented. We are now waiting for the visa's. We have been working on this for 5 years including annulment. A month is a very short time.

when was her interview? when is she flying there?

7 days left before your interview, hmmm I don't think you can make it but maybe you can ask favor to the OIC there to rush the issuance of your NBI Clearance, why you went there too late? was that your first time to apply for NBI clearance.. This is why I had my clearance when I knew I was Approved.

Nobody wants to be on AR. I would have wanted my fiancee here many years ago. I have learned patients and persaverance. Her interview was April 1. We will not book the flights until the visa's are in hand.......(she has two kids also). I have learned the system will have some delays......best to wait for confirmation.

The advice of asking favor to get fast is the only one I know. Keep in mind that to reschedule takes 2 months.......so probably better to go to interview and be on AR than try to reschedule ur interview.

on filing up the form what should the purpose written there?does it have specifics or just for "fiancee visa" alone?because that is the purpose I've written there,is it to early for me to get my NBI clearance,me and my fiance had filed our petition already just a week ago and i got my NBI clearance for just one day,i didnt have any problem about it..can i still use it when my interview date comes?or should i get a latest one because its validity is one year.

I wonder if an interview delay can be requested.
That could give you time for the clearance and perhaps avoiding the AR.
I have no clue about this option, they might schedule you for next month so taking the AR might be better.
I also wonder if in Phils things can get done faster depending on some "factors".
Where I come from knowing someone inside either directly or through a friend make things going way faster.
I hope all goes well.

Cheers,

Carlos.

i know.. im in so much trouble right now.. i shouldve gone to the nbi last month.. yea its my first time...

i really dont know which option to do... re sched or just go to the interview w/out nbi and be put on AR... its so confusing...

they said if u go personally to nbi manila it would only take one day for everything, rather than waiting for 10 days... i dont know what would i do...

The NBI has no specific purpose yet they have color and validity descriptions, green cert has statement as valid for travel abroad, orange are for employment in the country. I believe your NBI is still good that you have it now, because it's valid for 1 year so u can still use it on your interview

[limeprincess]

yea i better go to my interview and be on AR.. but how long should i wait before i get the signal that im approved?

i think i still have to come back to us embassy and show my nbi.. is that how it goes?

Speaking of AR, many interviewees recently are put in AR for document verification and they submitted complete documents. I think other way around doesn't really make a difference.

thanks ellen,i got my NBI ahead of time to avoid delay and i got the green copy..I was afraid it may take for months in getting one but since they are online now,i got my clearance for an hour.. ..is it valid that i get my NBI clearance here in our place,I'm from gensan or do they really require to get it from there head office?

If this is true, and I think it is, for me is a no brainer. Go to Manila 2 to 3 days before the interview and get it done.

I think the one day is correct if in Manila, I can ask my fiancee, the nature of her work requires a NBI (scary huh?), and she lives in Manila.

GOD LUCK TO ME!

GOD BLESS :

hi. here's my suggestion. Go to NBI, make a letter stating the reason that you need it before your interview. present your letter of interview, have a copy and give one to them. they'll be nice and willing to help you. it happened when i was at NSO and they are supposed to released my CENOMAR on the exact date of my interview and i just requested them to be considerate. just be there early and ask for a contact person, coordinate directly with the officers there at NBI. do this rather than be on AR. i will ask who you can contact from NBI.. where you from? Manila or Quezon City?

[limeprincess]

why aRE THEY PUT ON ar?

[limeprincess]

really she works at the nbi? can u help me... who should i contact to?

my interview is on apr 23... really2 soon...

god bless

[honey_angel]

why aRE THEY PUT ON ar?

you'll be asked during interview with your NBI, if you can't present that then it will cause delay on your visa approval. act now rather than be sorry in the end. make sure you have all the documents needed with you on your interview date.

goodluck and God bless.

[limeprincess]

ahh... i told them already that i will have my interview on 23.. they say they will be doing their best that i will get my nbi just before 22.. they say 10 working days is not really appropriate of waiting period, sometimes it even earlier that 10 days...

i dont know now...

yes, NBI will be released on the day itself if not hit, meaning you don't have a namesake who has a case. I got my BI on the day itself that I requested for it. that's why it will take 10 days (2 weeks) for it to be released again to limeprincess because she got HIT.

[limeprincess]

if i be put on AR? how long must i wait before they can issue my visa?
