hhmmmmm...are you sure that the NVC already sent your case to Manila on Feb.22? the DHL tracking is not 100% sure because we don't know if your case is on that package..if you are sure that the NVC release your packet to DHL on Feb22, it should be already in Manila..just try again on Monday!! :thumbs: ..once you find out that the USEM got ur case, tell ur fiance to pay the document verification ASAP and fax the receipt to USEM and make further inquiries to delbros to make sure they got the payment..im willing to help..just send me message anytime!! :thumbs: goodluck

yehey!!!!!congrats.... :dance::thumbs::dance::thumbs::dance::thumbs:

"In order to avoid unnecessary delay in the visa issuance process, the U.S. Embassy in Manila strongly encourages applicants in the categories mentioned above to pay the document verification fee prior to their immigrant visa interview. Payment can be made through any Metrobank location. The cost of the document verification is P650 per applicant. For specific instructions on how to pay the document verification fee, please click here. If you are unable to pay for the document verification before your immigrant visa interview, you may be asked to pay the fee on the day of your interview. Please note that if you pay on the day of your interview, there will be a delay of one to two weeks in the processing of your application. "

here's the link how to pay the document verification http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfdelb.pdf

Tell your fiancé to pay the document verification now to any of the Metrobank branch and fax the receipt to the USEM.here’s the fax number : fax number for the Immigrant Visa Unit of (632) 301-2591
