waiting for my passport and visa.. i just realized something

[nicole/philip 0]

hi everybody,

i'm just waiting for my passport and visa to be delivered. i already posted here earlier that we got approved (the CO told me w/o my asking). now, i just realized something about doc. verification . when the CO told me the visa was approved, does this mean:

- there's no need for doc. verification? i did pay for the verification fee just 3 (yes, it is 3!) days before my interview. is it possible the usem got the doc. verification results that quick??

OR

- the doc. verification is a random thing for the embassy? if so, then i just wasted P650 for nothing! i could have used that money for a nice t-shirt!

if document verification is really a requirement for ALL applications, then the CO's should instead say: "your visa is approved pending doc. verification". just my 2 cents.

As I understand it, document verification is random, but I think few of us wnat to risk our visa held on AR for 2-4 weeks to save about $16.
