What has happen to my interview

[lovelylady 0]

I had my interview last Jan. 4, 2008. My fiancé is with me the time I was interviewed. The Consul ask me where i meet my fiancé which I answered, how did we meet and I answer too. If both of us is single which we said yes. His follow-up question is if i had kids which i said yes as it is included at my appointment for the interview. I made it clear that they will not accompany me nor will follow me. My question is did this affect in releasing of my visa. As every thing seems to be okey. After the interview the Consul told me to proceed to window 37. There a staff gave me a paper that said document verification. I don’t have the idea what documents to be verified. He said it will take 2 to 3 weeks to release it. I paid Php 650 for the verification. And Php 165 for the Delbros delivery but until now i have not been notified by the NVC. It is hard on my part contacting the visa call center as my landline is bayantel. I am not a PLDT subscriber. I tried to buy a smart prepaid sim but it did not go thru. I ask our GM at the office if I could use our phone (as we are not allowed to place a personal call) so I could contact them. A visa call center agent said according to their system it will take 6 weeks. If there I couldn’t hear from the USEM I should contact them so they could help me. How long will it take for me to wait for a notice at USEM.

I had this idea that maybe it is my kids surname that affects the releasing of the visa.. My kids surname is different from mine as they uses their father's name although we are not legally married. In their birth certificate their father put the date and place of marriage even though no ceremonies happen. He did this for the kids to use his surname as before the civil code don’t allow to use the father’s name if the parents are not legally married. I bring the original birth certificates of the 2 kids with me should they want a proof, though the Consul did not ask for it and I am willing to explain why did this happen. I gave my CENOMAR that I get from the NSO to prove i was never married.

Anyone had similar problem with mine. What steps did you do. My fiancé was here last Jan. 1 so he could go with my interview. He is about to leave at the 18th and he get me a reservation ticket which we had it open should my visa arrived. We even work on his extention visa waiting for the approval so we could fly back to the US together. But until he leave now notification has not arrive yet. His lawyer in the US was able to talk to one Consul here in Manila but he said the Philippine document that I submitted is still verified. My fiancé already seek the help of their congressman and we are waiting for the reply yet. I feel depressed. I don’t know what to do to prove that I never married. I tried to get true and legal copies of my documents to prove that all the intentions are true. I just pray that there is still hope for me to be with my soon to be husband in the US.

don't worry, i dont think there was anything wrong with your interview, its just that you paid your document verification fee on the date of interview, which is why it is taking you long to receive your visa. the USEM website has an advisory on this and was discussed extensively in the Philippines subforum. its sad that you failed to read it before your interview.

for a better understanding on what the document verification fee is all about, you might want to read the link below:

hi, i myself gone through K1 process and have kids(4 actually) which are K2 derivatives. all my kids used their father's surname, even have a date and place of marriage which didn't occur on their birth certificates. just a fictitious marriage for the purpose of registering the kids. during our interview the CO didn't even asked me about it nor didn't brought up anything about the kids. the kids were present during the interview. i supported my documents with a latest CENOMAR, but we did already had one included when my fiance filed the petition. the interview went fine and got approved right away. but that time we don't have that documents verification yet.

so i guess there's no connection with the kids why you still have the visa yet. did they asked you to pay DELBROS after the interview?

are you not going to bring the kids over here? sounds like a personal question, just curious

hope you get your visa soon....GOD BLESS!

Hello! Thank you for the reply. I really need someone to talk to that is why i publish my delimma. I really dont know this since have not read in forum that the Embassy has this advisory that you will pay for the document verification before the interview.

Perhaps you can use SkypeOut to give them a call. The quality is not bad and it's cheap too. If you are not familiar with Skype, go to www.skype.com for more information.

Hope you will get your visa soon.

Good luck!

Hello,

Just want to you to know that you are not alone in this painful waiting. i was interviewd last Jan 9, and until now i dont have my visa yet. and about the delbros verification i paid it thru deposting in metrobank 3 weeks before my interview but it didnt help so it means it's not affecting the release of your visa eventhough you did not pay early. and like you i did all my best to certtified that my Birthcertificate,CENOMAR and NBI infact i went to DFA they put a Red Ribbon on it but it didnt help but atleast i am at peace that my document is true. you are thinkin maybe because of your kids surname or what but i want you to know that i am single never been married but i am also under going this kinda process like yours so i think there is no problem with your papers or mine. it is just the process and like what the other members said it is random and they just pick some people to thorough check like they've been doing to us. And unfortunately they picked us.

By the way this morning i called the embassy they said they just receive my papers from NSO just this feb 1, gossh!!! since jan 9. and they said it's in the consul officer now and reviewing it and they will decide if they will give me a visa, i am confident of the result coz i am 100% sure that my papers is all true. so i think your papers is also in the consul officers and in a few days you will have your visa. Let's continue to pray

God Bless you,

Mercy

Aynaku05, what you delbertjohnson, and I are in is called Adinistrative Review. This means they are looking into our petitions further. My wife payed the document verification fee on Januaty 7 but DELBROS never forwarded the information to the Embassy. The website states a two week delay for document verification but the Embassy is saying 4 to 6 weeks.

You can try calling the consular number of 301-2000 press 7, then 5143 pound. They seem a little picky about speaking with Filipinos but some have success calling.
