Hello People!

Had I known prior to my interview date there is forum such as this, perhaps my visa would have been on hand a week after my interview. My fiance filed for I129F on July 2/07; approved on Nov 2. Interview sched on Feb 8.

After the interview, I was told to pay the courier fee of Php165 and 650 for docs verification. I read in the website that it is strongly suggested that a document verification fee of Php650 must be paid in order to avoid 1-2 weeks delay in visa release. I thought the instruction was for those with delayed birth registratrion. Mine is ok so i didn't pay prior to interview. My mistake. I have just visited this forum this morning, it was discussed several times. I notice those who paid were given their visas in less than 5 days. Can somebody please tell me if I am on AR because of this docs verification routine. My documents are complete but the white paper i got that says "unable to complete processing of your visa application...." "WHAT TO DO NEXT:" has a checked mark on the last item that says "When you have ALL the required documents marked above,....." the guy in window 37 said I need not come back, the verified docs will be sent to the Embassy. He said my visa will be delivered, the question is WHEN? I hope and pray I get it before airfare is increased on March 15. I am posting this so that others may learn from my mistake of ignoring important announcements. I could have called the embassy call center then. Hope to hear from you July batchmates.
