US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHow would you know ?
Jen ,

thanks for the reply and thats great news ...i think you are really going to be getting your passport and visa really soon.

i hope paper wasnt denied...this is really sad moment for me cause i cnat wait to be with my fiance but somehow fate has been really tricky .

i called up delbros and the guy told me that they forwarded my case to NSO april 21st and i paid delbros the 7th of april. sad.gif
i hope that there will be a good news next week at least even a little good news that will somehow uplift me.

jen thanks for replying.
I am very confused and clueless..I dont know if i was denied or not sad.gif

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHow would you know ?
wonderful people of VJ just a quick question

how would i know if my case is still under AR ?

after the interview all they gave me is a white piece of paper with CO signature ( wait til you hear from us) and a pink slip to pay the delbros visa delivery.
i really wanna know if i have a long waiting to do before i will have my visa on hand.

thanks

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCase finally out of the document verification black hole
So after waiting and waiting here ,bored to death and frustrated ,I decided to call delbros and as usual game me the same answer " my case hasn't been released yet from the embassy" sad.gif

so i called up the embassy using the local number ...i tried calling for 20 mins and unfortunately the line was still busy .So i gave it a rest for a couple of minutes and called them again.


embassy lady : "Hello .how may i help you?"

me: "good morning! This is Abigail and i am calling about my visa status"

embassy lady: " Are you the petitioner?"

me: "No ma'am. I am the beneficiary "

embassy Lady: " Do you know that youre not suppose to call this number? youre suppose to be calling the call center for
your visa inquiry "

me: "ahhhhmmmmm I'm sorry ma'am but i did try calling the calling center but it doesn't work sad.gif

embassy lady: "ok. but this is the only time I'm going to check your case " ok?"

me: 'ok! smile.gif

embassy lady: "give me your case number"

me: MNL2008*******

embassy lady: (typing on the keyboard) your document verification result came in yesterday.

me: WOOT!!!!!! thank you so much ma'am



finally im out of the verification black hole
i paid the delbros for document verification last March 31
and on April 21 they forwarded it to NSO
April 23 interview date (AR)
May 6 document verification result forwarded to embassy from NSO



thank you so much LORD and to all the vj family who gave me a lot of info

OH WELL!! It's only money. I look at it this way, they can raise their prices all they want, but they can't put a price on being with my girl. That is absolutely PRICELESS!!!



thats how i feel about it too....plus, its only 40 dollars. thats probably less than the price for two for dinner at a restaurant....so, in the scheme of things, it's not really that much wink.gif

PhilippinesNOA2 Recieved today!!!!
we are newbies on this board...mostly because we just filed fairly recently...so none of you really knows us...but we are proud and extremely pleased, we received our NOA2 today...

we were SHOCKED it was so quick. we filed on jan. 28th, got NOA on feb.11th....and this quickly we got the NOA2.

we do have a lawyer and maybe that helped us file everything properly, and maybe the new folks at the USCIS are working their butts off, and CERTAINLY God is looking out for us...all of that may have helped us move through, but right now we dont care, we are just happy and excited to take the next steps...with the help of our lawyer, and the generous kind, helpful people of this board smile.gif

we hope the same quickness and ease reaches all of you on your long and sometimes difficult journey.

Ruchie would say the look on my face when we were in the van riding from the airport to Tacloban City. I about **** my pants wondering if the driver was going to get us there or not. What a TRIP!! LOL!



same for me on the streets of Cebu....i was pretty much sure i had just met my future wife, only to die in the car on the way to the hotel....it was horrible actually...but we still laugh about how scared we BOTH were :S

One funny moment I can recall was when he visited my family for the first time & he was trying so hard to speak Bisaya. The way he mixed the words was so funny I can't help giggling and everyone had a good laugh!


my skills in Bisaya aren't too great either tongue.gif but i'm pretty good at saying "Bahog lubot" and "baktin" wink.gif

Philippineshard to forget momment with your fiancee/fiance
In Cebu on our way to Bohol we had to catch a jet boat...but our original boat was stranded out to sea, so we had to catch a later one...we had a 4-5 hour wait at the pier. we thought it would be a horrible and long wait...well, we ended up having some food, talking, laughing, playing with my camera...and watching the game show "Wo Wo Wee" and having a blast just spending time together...kissing and hugging (probably causing quite a scene jest.gif ) and the time passed so quickly...we nearly missed the boat....if it weren't for her microscopic bladder....and running into a ticket taker calling for Bohol...we would have missed our boat with our bags on it ha

PhilippinesNVC case number recieved today
we were hoping we would be able to track the status online...but it seems that is impossible....

we are both ECSTATIC, however, that our case seems to be going through the process so quickly...

if anyone knows of a way to track this online, please let us know smile.gif (but i have searched pretty thoroughly through the forums, and it seems that is not happening at this time sad.gif )
