I had my interview 5Aug2008. I was expecting to get my visa over the weekend and nothing, no text no nothing from Delbros. I started to panic. I asked Mike to call the USEM 11Aug2008 to see whats up. Grace told him visas are printed out every Friday, sent to Delbros for delivery the following Monday. BUT, a fellow VJer who had the same interview date as I did got her visa on 9Aug2008. :wacko:

I asked Mike to call Grace again and tell her that little bit of info. She told Mike my visa is printed, however, she couldnt tell him whether its in the batch to be released that day. OMG !!!! I was in a panic! I texted Delbros and they responded that my visa has not been released and is still in process at the USEM. :crying:

I went to work feeling down and depressed. Got home at around 930pm, was about to charge my phone when I saw 1 message waiting. I opened it and it was from Delbros! My visa has been released and will be delivered starting tomorrow and for the next 2 days !!! :dance: I called Mike immediately and told him the good news.

I went to work early on 12Aug2008 (today), had my authorization letter with my kumpare and called him early in the morning to let him know my visa will be delivered today, tomorrow or thursday and to please make sure the guard knows to look for him. I also asked him to text me as soon as the visa is with him.

I got a text from him about 12:27pm today, he said its here its here !!! I didnt respond immediately as cell phones are not allowed at the work floor. When I got the message, he had another one saying where are u? its here !!!! LOL!

Needless to say I am relieved without a doubt, tomorrow I head to the CFO to get my stamp. :D

Congratulations and celebrations!!! :dance::dance::dance:
