what makes you a candidate for AR? any ideas?

[foxyroxy 0]

hello guys!

yup its been 2 weeks since my interview april 23 and i guess i am on the AR roll. am really just wondering what makes one a candidate for AR? why do others get their visas in 3-5 days while others like me are put on AR? to those who have been waiting for 2 weeks or more, do you have problems at NSO? as for me, i had a problem with my birth certificate but i was able to have my name fixed last february 2008. that was months before my interview. it was a good thing i learned about the document verification process early on so i still had time to fix up my bc. i was able to get an annotated BC from NSO before my interview and that was the same one i submitted to the pre-screener. now am thinking that might be a factor that's why i am on AR? the fact that my BC was only fixed up this year? maybe its taking NSO a longer time checking up my docs due to the corrections on my name?

can those who took a long time waiting also for their visa share what factors may have cause the delay? maybe this would help those vjers who are still starting their journey so that they won't be held in AR too.

thanks to all those who will reply :-)

when did you Pay DELBROS the DOc verification fee? That's the primary reason for an AR. If you paid them get a hold of them and find out when they sent the the request to the NSO. once you get that date and unless something is wrong with the docs, you can figure 1-3 weeks after they get submitted to when you will get news. Check the pinned stuff at the top of the forum

Did you got a white sheet that's checked "Wait to hear from us" aside from the pink copy that you have to pay to the Delbros delivery? If you did you're under AR/Document Verification. But if the CO told you that you're approved and wait for your visa delivery then wait for Delbros to send you a text message for your visa. Usually applicants got their visas few days or two weeks after being approved. I think there's a delay on printing the visa too.

I'm on AR/Document Verification too and I don't think I have problems with my Birth Certificate and CENOMAR. I don't know exactly the reason what make one a candidate for AR. I was interviewed on 4/22 and I noticed most of us were under AR but some few who don't have documents verified were issued visas instantly in 2 to 3 days. I met one applicant at St. Lukes that we had the same shedule for interview and she said she paid her Debros document verification first week of April. She's not even aware of the document verification process yet she was so lucky that she only got her visa in 3 days and she's from Cebu. One VJ member here too got her visa in 4 days even though the NSO only forwarded her verified documents at the USE on 4/14 (same as me). I'm puzzled about that.. I was thinking if they treat each applicants fairly and what's the main reason for pending visas.

I'm still waiting and hoping for the good news though. In God's will I'll be with my future husband soon who's patiently waiting for me

We don't have any choice but to wait and pray hard God will all help us!

my doc was forwarded to NSO apr21, i was interviewed apr 24..

i don't have any probs with any of my docs..

it's been more than a week now..

i guess nobody really knows the criteria of falling into an AR..

also, i would just like to add that they not only verify BC and cenomar..

as per robbie including NBI and police clearance..

so i think they verify all legal documents that we submit to them..

thanks to those who replied. i paid my doc ver fee on mar 28, accdg to robbie of delbros they sent the request to nso on april 14, my interview was april 23. well this whole thing still puzzles me. nothing seems logical with the NSO, DELBROS or USEM. oh well, what else can we do but pray and pray and pray :-)

may our Lord shower His blessings on all of us who are still waiting.

Document Verification is being done in a randomly basis..

So it doesn't matter if you paid or not.. If your case got picked you will be placed on AR.

But if your case didn't get picked, you really don't have to pay for the Docs Verification..

Yes.... i think so too because i don't pay for the document verification but still i got my visa after 13 working days( maybe i'm just lucky)

Tell you what..

When my wife went on her Interview the consul was even surprised why we paid for the Document Verification.. She was like its their call to asked for it.. But we mentioned that it was advised to do it base on the USEM website, and she just like "ok you need it anyways and were just waiting for the result"..

I asked the consul if my wife was approved... She said she doesn't know till she sees the result of the verification..

Then she just told us to go to the releasing window where we were handed the pink slip and instructions to pay for the Visa Delivery fee..

hi roxy, when was the last time u called up usem? did u do some calls for follow-ups? were u able to know if your verified docs are in the usem already? you would know where you are in the process if you call grace, like what others do here.

btway, to lessen your worries, i also have bc certificate correction for typo error, one letter.. i guess u also fixed your RA 9048 and u got the annonated bc and finality.. guess what, no need to worry coz we have the same bc concern and it didnt cause me more delays on the verification...

call grace tomorrow to get a good news, you have to make calls and follow up. ask her if your verified docs are at the usem already. it should be there roxy, it is there already, so call grace and that will make u stop worrying and wondering. give your mind and heart peace by doing follow-up.

keep the faith, dont lose grip with your faith and trust to God -loterly
