Guys,

Just got off the phone with Delbros to ask if they have my visa already but tough luck, the embassy hasn't released it yet. :(

Anyways, they said that the Delbros usually receives Visas released by the US Embassy around 6 or 7 PM in the evening on a normail business day. So i think the best time to call them would be once a day every morning...hahaha...

Well, i just hope we get our visas soon!

Thanks!

2-0. In favor of the boys.

I see that you just had your interview on the 12th. IMHO, it's pretty early for you to call Delbros since it takes at least 1-3 days for USEM to process all your paperwork (in the brown envelope) and print your visa, plus the time it takes for them to release it to Delbros. Anyway, I know how you feel. I've been there and done that and so to lessen the frustrations and disappointments, give USEM and Delbros some time. After 3 days, then you start calling them every single day like what I did. :D

That is one of the things that I kind of regretted... not being able to enjoy my time there in PI. Even though I flew here 3 weeks after I got the visa, it didn't seem enough to get the most of my last days with my family and friends. Oh well... I'm over it now and loving every single day of my life here with my David. :luv:

Yeah i know, but my wife (my petitioner) really misses me (awww...anyways, i really miss her too... :blush:) and she wants me to be there ASAP. i tried explaining this to her and you know how you girls are when you want things done, you want it done...hahaha! Just kidding. :hehe:

Anyways, ill busy myself by going to the gym, riding all the buses and jeepneys and trycycles that i can, buy her pasalubong wish list which includes hopia from Ongpin and a lot of other stuff hard to find in the market and yes, spend time with my loved ones.

I'll give Delbros one last call today ok...hahaha! (KULET! :P )

Thanks!

I'm not sure though if having your child join you would slow things up. Are you sure your not on AR or Document Verification? Try calling USEM again...I really hope you get your visa soon!

Yeah, its ok to call USEM. Check out the Sheriff's signature for the number and which extensions to press. Just a bit of good news though...i received a text message from Delbros yesterday saying that they have received my visa and will deliver it either 03/17 or 03/18... :dance:
