Philippines	my friend had interview today she got pink slip without paying DV	QUOTE (eros222 @ Aug 19 2008, 02:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you so much for explaining it...was getting confused a little... and I agree with you 100 percent, it should not be our problem if they are having delays. There is a lot of peoples not employed, they can surely hire few more peoples to get thru the backlog. It just make sense for document verification being able to pay it on-line to DelBROS...once you have MNL######## It just make sense for Medical and shots being able to pay it on-line to STLUKE...once you have MNL####### If they want to charge me extra for paying on line...usually most places charge 3% more...that is fine, that is a luxury some people are willing to pay. If not willing to pay extra...can always pay cash...the usual way. We are in the computers age and we still shuffling papers around......just my 2 cents.... no problem! that's why we're here at VJ.. i just wanna say, it made me smile when i read abt the online payment thing that you've mentioned.. cos in the philippines, not all people can do that.. cos not all people have debit card/credit card and most of all internet..	envy_me	Female	Philippines	2008-08-19 16:23:00
Philippines	my friend had interview today she got pink slip without paying DV	QUOTE (eros222 @ Aug 19 2008, 10:39 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am totally confused about this DV (document verification), why pay it at the METROBANK if it can be paid at the DELLBROS booth in cash? Is that a booth inside the US embassy? Can it be paid the same day of the interview? Why add another 3 steps...Pay at METROBANK then sending SMS then wait for response.....anytime we add a layer unnecessary complexity where things can go wrong. I apologize, but am just trying to understand the process....and make some some out of it. I wish it all have included in the I-129F fee...included the Medical and shots.. or have Web site at the embassy where all this can be paid via WEB by the person requesting the I-129f...not the beneficiary, But that would it too much common sense.... yes, inside the USEM but the booth is actually for the visa delivery payment.. however if you dint pay DV at metrobank.. they'll just ask you to pay DV at the booth inside the embassy.. the reason why they want you to pay DV at metrobank before the interview is to avoid delays.. since so many people are goin through DV process, delays cannot be avoided.. however,i agree.. i think it shouldnt be our problem if they're having delays.. IMO! i mean we did things as where told and paid whatever it is that needs to paid so they gotta do their job well..

Philippines	my friend had interview today she got pink slip without paying DV	QUOTE (jas_noel @ Aug 19 2008, 03:39 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi every one I met a girl from Davao (who is not a member of VJ) when I had my medical last week. She had her interview today and she got pink slip even without paying doc verification. She asked them if it's okay not to pay it and they said yes. Maybe because she is only 24 y/o. Well I guess the document verification is a case to case basis and maybe it does not apply to persons who are 24 y/o and below or maybe it also depends on the discretion of the CO. this is weird cos if i remember it right, most of the people during my interview was asked about the DV by the officer from windows 37 or 38.. young or old, some of the people ive seen they dint pay DV beforehand so they're asked to pay it at the delbros booth.. did you asked her if she paid P650 in metrobank or you used the word DV? some people kse dont know na DV = P650 in metrobank..
