Questions on Document Verification

[EricC 0]

Ok so I know that you have to pay for document verification now. I am confused on a few things and would like verification.

1) What documents do they verify? Passport? Birth Certificate? Police Clearance? All of the Above?

2) Do you bring the documents with you when you pay? If you do, do they verifiy them right then or does it take a while. If it takes a while do they send your documents back to you, or to the USEM?

Just trying to figure this out. Thanks

pay the fee at the bank early befor eyour interview. If you pay it at your interview it will delay your visa by up to 6 weeks.. They will verify your birth cert, your NBI clearance, Your Cenomar, Your Passport etc.

You dont take the docs to them. They are checking with the government agencies to make sure what you are submitting is real. Do a search on here. This has been answered numerous times.

Hi EricC, to answer your inquiry about document verification..It is to double check that the information stated on your security papers are true..Birth certificates, certificate of no marriage or CENOMAR, divorce decrees/annulment and even marriage certificates are those they would need to verify..Even if you already have those over security papers authenticated from NSO..you're still required to have your documents verified by Delbros..why delbros that i cannot answer..

To answer your number two Q..yes you need to bring the authenticated copies of your birth certificate and cenomar during the interview but no they do not verify these over interview..Delbros will take charge of the verication process..how long it varies..

Great points...

I'll also post in the guide that the beneficiaries do NOT take any documents to Metrobank or Delbros when paying the documentation verification fee. Delbros will be checking with the government agencies to make sure what you are submitting is real.

Cheers!!!

Hi Sheriff Uling, just wanna add this new update about document verification fee..When I called the USEM last Thursday to inquire about the status of my visa..the lady who answered the phone asked me if i have already paid my document verification fee..i told her i did and even gave window 38 a copy of my deposit slip after the interview with the CO..She said they are now requiring the applicants to fax a copy of the deposit slip to make sure it has been paid..Good thing she volunteered and was able to find my folder and my deposit slip.. she told me not to fax it anymore and to call them after a week..

I wasn't able to ask for the fax number though so for those who haven't faxed it yet..pls call the USEM to inquire about it..The lady added that it would be best to pay the document verification fee a month before interview..

Thanks!

I have included your information within Section 4.5 of the Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide. According to the USE website, the fax number for the Immigrant Visa Unit is (632) 301-2591. Hopefully, the website is up-to-date because that is the fax number that I supplied within the guide.

Cheers!!!

p.s. Can anyone validate the fax number for the Immigrant Visa Unit of (632) 301-2591?
