I want to try texting Delbros also but having a second thought. It's still 3 working days from my interview. I guess i just don't want to hear something like it's not release yet. (Keeping my fingers crossed). :-)

By the way, it would also help us (especially those who are still waiting) if those who already received their Visa will update their timeline. Guys, update your timeline please. :-) Tnx.

I noticed that most of those who got their Visa were interviewed Feb. 4 and 7... I was scheduled Feb. 8 but I'm not worried "yet" coz there are still those who were interviewed Feb. 5, 6, and the rest of Feb. 4 & 7.

Well, keep us posted guys...
And let's keep on praying...

Guys, let’s make a thread for the Visa Tracking, please. I’m gathering information of those who had/have their Visa Approval this February. Those who got an approval and already receiving their visa or recently heard from Delbros about the Visa delivery, please update us on the progress so others who are still waiting can make plans about making a follow up at the Embassy or make inquiry at Delbros.

So far these are the list of people who have provided updates on their Visa:

I had my interview last week that's why I'm so interested to see the progress.
Hope we will all receive our visa soon!
Good luck to us!!!

I just received my Visa today! Yeheyyyyyyy...:-) I was keeping in touch with Nicks. She got hers first and less than two hours after her Visa was delivered at their home, mine was delivered here at work.:-) I can buy my ticket by Monday, yeheeyyyyyyyy...:-) And yeah, not to forget the CFO stamp. I had my CFO seminar already so the stamp won't take that long to get.

About Document Verification by Delbros, I tried to contact them after my interview and double check the payment I made with Metro Bank. Ms. Allen confirmed it that they have forwarded the document verification request to NSO and then NSO will be the one to forward the verification result to the Embassy. And yes, it would be helpful if you can double check the "document verification" at Delbros days before the interview... just to be sure that they have processed it already.

Hi guys, here's another update and this time I'm happy that it's "My Good News". wink.gif I called USEM this afternoon, around 3PM and was able to talk to Sofia. She told me that my Visa was issued last February 12 and she advised that I'll just wait for the delivery. I then called Delbros and they confirmed it. My Visa was released yesterday, February 13 and it's still in Manila but it will be shipped to Cebu within this week. I'll probably receive it early next week.

I'm sooooooooo glad! kicking.gif

I was able to talk to Nicks&Brian (I'm hoping I got her correct username...:-) ), and she told me about the call she made to USEM this morning. I'm hoping mine will also be released today. I tried to call but nobody's picking up the 5184 extension. I'll just try to call again later...:-)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone...:-)

PhilippinesVisa Tracking - Interviewed and Approved on February 2008
Guys, let’s make a thread for the Visa Tracking, please. I’m gathering information of those who had/have their Visa Approval this February. Those who got an approval and already receiving their visa or recently heard from Delbros about the Visa delivery, please update us on the progress so others who are still waiting can make plans about making a follow up at the Embassy or make inquiry at Delbros.

So far these are the list of people who have provided updates on their Visa:

Hope we will all receive our visa soon!
Good luck to us!!!

Delbros Pro active text message service sent an sms to me this afternoon (around 5pm) saying:
"Delbros Delivers! Delivery for MNL2007839*** starts tom up to d next 2days! You must leave a valid ID & signed authorization letter or a 1WK Delay will ensue"
They're going to deliver it in Bulacan so i expect that it will be here 3days from now (but the earlier the better hehe).

I was approved last feb 7. I actually didn't asked for visa pick up! wink.gif

So what's the update with the other couples. There were 6 of them who had the interview yesterday. I only see 2 who got the "APPROVED" confirmation. What's the news with the other 4?

I'm hoping it's a good news also. :-)

PhilippinesFebruary interviews at US Embassy Manila
Hello everyone... smile.gif I'm glad to see some progress in here... but I haven't received my Packet 4 yet... :-( I already planned to have an early Medical on January 23 instead of February 1. I have read from K1 Guidelines and it says I can just call SLEC for Packet pick up. But my questions are:

1. If I'm planning for early Medical, is it "COMPULSORY" to call SLEC before I'll have my early Medical? Or I can just go to SLEC and bring the required documents?
2. And in case I'll call SLEC for Packet 4 pick up but days before or after the early medical, DHL will deliver my Packet 4, I would have 2 Packets then, am I right? Does it happen before? Is this the usual scenario if one would call for Packet pickup at SLEC? One would eventually have 2 Packets?

I'm a little confused. I'm not so sure if it is COMPULSORY to call SLEC for Packet pickup before my plan early Medical on January 23. My flight is already booked and ready for that day, as well as my leave of absence from work. I also have the needed documents for the Medical too.

I would really welcome your inputs.
Thanks...:-)

I have a question please... I'm wondering if I need to be the one to receive the Packet 4 when DHL will deliver it to my address. I'll be at work the whole day and would usually be home by night time already. Will DHL just leave the packet with anybody at my address, like for example my landlady? Do i need to leave an authorization letter to my landlady, and would they accept that?

Thanks...

Just wondering and I'm a little confuse.:-( So it happens that the beneficiary will not get the packet IV? What to do then if that would be the case? What's the procedure?

I'm a little worried coz I already have the medical and ineterview appoinment. Got it from the site. And I'm planning to have an early medical, probably 3 weeks from my inetrview which will be on Feb. 8...

PhilippinesAre you the BIGGEST LOSER?
Oh gosh, I'm on the same boat to those who gained weight. And I still don't understand why. My food intake when I was still in the Philippines was even "bigger" compare to what I'm eating here now in the US. My usual weight ranges from 108-111 lbs, I'm considered average and sometimes called thin. But now that I'm here in the US, my weight ranges from 111.5 to 114.5 lbs. As in waaaaahhhhh, I'm starting to panic now coz I've been here for just 2.5 weeks and I'm afraid to imagine how much I'll gain months from now or years from now. :-( First thing in the morning before my bath I would weigh myself and then around afternoon and before going to sleep. Yeah, I'm getting paranoid...:-) I'm just trying to check the ranges of my weight in correlation to the food I ate. I'm eating healthy foods and tried to avoid high calorie foods (as much as possible), but sitting around the house and without having the chance to get enough exercise is one factor why I'm gaining weight, I guess.

In the Philippines, once you go out of the house, you are burning calories twice or three times as much compare to doing that here in the US. I tried walking up and down the stairs in our house doing chores but still that exercise is not enough. There were days I tried working really hard around the house and try eating less but didn't notice any considerable loss in my weight. Now, I'm looking forward to having the chance to go jogging so I can get back in shape. :-)

Philippinesphysical, mental & emotional preparations for your USEM interview
My interview will be on Feb. 8 and yeah, I’m a little nervous already but I’m trying not to worry that much so I can be at ease and be myself during my interview. As to the preparation, I’m still working on the documents which I need to bring. I have to arrange and compile it in a way in which it will be just easy for me to remember and to pull out from the designated folders. I’m also trying to compile the questions posted in here by those members who already have their interview, just a little review materials in case I have overlooked something.

And most of all, I believe PRAYERS will be a big help. I have such great faith that GOD will guide me with the process and I’m sticking to that.

And for my attire during the interview, I just bought a new dress. It’s a semi-casual dress with collar and sleeves, almost like a typical Sunday dress. (Like I’m attending a baptism, heheheh, or having my first communion, heheheh). It’s not necessary that one should wear a dress for the interview, slacks and blouse with collar will do. I just choose a dress coz I don’t like slacks that much. I prefer dresses or skirts and blouses. I believe one should wear something she’s very comfortable of.

And oh, I’m planning to go to the spa too. Hope I can have enough time for that coz I would still be working the day before I’ll fly to Manila.

Good luck to us!
And God Bless!!!

PhilippinesVj's Eyeball in cebu
Wish we had this thing when I was still in Cebu. Daghan sab mi from Cebu during that time but we got caught up with all the process we forgot to have fun. Take time to enjoy while you're still in the Philippines. You're going to miss a lot by the time you'll get here... you'll miss the little details, maski na ang jeepney ride. I miss Cebu a lot, I miss every corner of Ayala. It was my second home way back my college days. There's just so much fun in Cebu, so much fun at Ayala... the food, the people, and all the kikay things that a woman could want... I miss shopping for shoes, the different style and colors, the movies, the restaurant, the fun...

I would advise that you do the process with scrutiny, but also try to enjoy each day of it... go out with friends, and most especially, try to spend more time with your family... visit your nephews and nieces, you can try putting them to bed, play with them and hear them laugh, the memory will linger in your "happy thoughts"... You can also cuddle your Mom at night and be amazed with how it feels. It's the little things that brings great joy... And then when you step on the plane on your way here, norture those memories with you... it's amazing and it's priceless...:-)

Philippinesgetting MARRIED in PHIL
Hi there, just want to get this topic on the go again coz I'm having the same dilemma...:-(Me and my husband are gathering the requirements for our church wedding in the Philippines by next year. I have contacted the church in Cebu where we want to get married, but I was asked to contact the Chancery office first. Mix marriages, like for example marrying a foreigner have different requirements. One of the difficult one is the Declaration of Nullity of the previous marriage (since my hubby was a divorcee). At first I was thinking it would just be easy coz we are already married and no need to go through the 11 day wait period for the marriage contract in the Philippines, we'll just provide our marriage certificate here in the US. Oh well, we contacted the Matrimonial Tribunal here in our area, and we were so shock coz we were told that it would take from 12-14 months waiting period to get the Declaration of Nullity of hubby's first marriage. As in, we're shock coz we're planning on getting married in the Philippines on April 2009 and that's just 8 months away. We need to submit the requirements to the Chancery office in Cebu so we can make the reservation of the church. It's so frustrating... I guess, being married already has the disadvantage... coz if we haven't get married yet, hubby can still ask for the Legal Capacity to marry at USEM, and therefore skipping the Matrimonial Tribunal. :-(

I don't know, I'll try to contact the Chancery Office in Cebu again on what we need to do. We might try to talk to the parish priest in our area if we can have a sort of recommendation letter, as substitute for the Declaration of Nullity. It's frustrating... we just want to have a church wedding in the presence of our family and friends as witnesses. The paper work sometimes is just too much... It's just non-stop... government paper works, and then church requirements... I can't decide which is more difficult...

With NBI Clearance I heard that it's the general rule but I don't know if that's the case with Birth Certificate and Cenomar. Maybe with the Cenomar but gosh, don't tell me I'll get another copy again. That's another P700 for BC and Cenomar if I'll order that online. :-( I requested a copy of both in advance last May also. :-(

PhilippinesK-1 Visa denied at interview, for meeting at Cherry Blossoms.com
Hello Tanjay, you can read this post...
http://www.visajourn...p;#entry1474145

I remember Cherry&John mentioned that they met in Cherry Blossoms and she was approved just this first week of January. So I guess, it doesn't really matter at all where the couple meet as long as a concrete evidence of the relationship can be provided.
