hi peeps...

I share with your sentiments...

nagdaan din kami dyan. we paid DV august 1. august21 interview.dv at usem aug28. case with the CO sept 3. visa approved sept 5. Visa delivered sept 11.

talagang 1 month or more ang DV. But the good thing is if u got pink slip, that's a good sign. Just wait. I know its frustrating sometimes. Hanap na lang kau ng iba pang aasikasuhin. kc ako narealize ko 1 week na lang paalis nako.

If u have SSS, pagibig and philhealth and u want to continue ur contributions, lalakarin nyo pa un. from either employed or self-employed to voluntary members. Try to apply at Pag-ibig overseas sa buendia para naman may contribution pa rin kau. sayang din...

Guys, i'm just giving you options to manage the "wait".Maybe other Vjers have also something to share while you wait...

Dont lose hope guys...All of your visas wil be in your hands soon...... :dance: :dance: :dance:

hi! we are on the same boat. I had my interview last sept 12, my DV was sent to NSO last Aug 29, and now still waiting for the visa. :blink: this whole process is a lot of test on my patience.

Hello there. We are almost the same. The DELBROS said that they forwarded the DV request in the NSO last Aug.29 but i was interview LAst AUg.28.

Until now the embassy said my DV is not yet with them. They told to my fiancee to wait , the turning time is 4-6 weeks.. wow!!!! so much... Im wondering why it took that long....Whoaaaaa...

Ah btw when my husband called the USEM Loraine said that my CO was about to leave going back to US and she said no worries because replacement is coming .Who among you has CO kinda chubby and pretty she was in window 32? maybe somebody there had the same CO with me do you think that was the reason for the delayed?
