Hi all,

My fiancee Kila passed her medical exam yesterday and her interview is scheduled on 5/20. I've recently read a lot of posts regarding documentation and associated horror stories. Kila and I paid the documentation fee on 4/30 and from what I have read, we are most likely not going to get our visa anytime soon because of document verification (Most people choose to pay even earlier prior to their interviews and are still waiting). That being said, I don't know if there is anything that we can do to change whether we will be in AR or not after the interview but could someone please explain to me how this process works and if there is anything I can do here from the US to find out what is going on? In particular what is going on between the USEM, NSO, and Delbros? What is forwarded to the NSO? When is this done? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

1st of all this is a Random Procedure by the Consular Officer...

Please kindly follow this guide of document verification payment..

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=124332

This Guide is good to follow, but doesn't guarantee the outcome.. (Who knows what these consular officers are thinking)

You may or may not go through Docs Verification as its randomly done..

I just don't want people from blaming the creator of the Guide for following the procedure and still put to AR.

Like I said its a GUIDE..

Agreed! There only thing that is for certain is that as long as you have the correct amount of money for the fee, they will take your money. Other than that, there are systemic inconsistencies throughout the visa stage of the immigration process for various reasons. Try to complete all the aspects of the visa stage as required and stay on top of things. That's the best that you can do besides pray.

Cheers!!!

Thanks for your responses guys. Now that I am close to the end of the process, I am getting very anxious and frustrated with things. The process for getting the visa seem to change and there is never a clear answer from the parties involved. There seems to be a damn fee associated with everything and just because you pay the fee does not mean that they will do what they are supposed to do in a timely manner or at all. I will keep praying that we make it through this process ok. Thanks again.

It is not a random procedure by the Consul, the Consul who interviewed me last May 12, she explained to me briefly about the "document verification", associated what in their website says "Applicants whose visa eligibility is dependent upon their marital status (i.e. K-1, K-3, CR-1, IR-1, F-1 and F2-B categories) will normally need to have their documents verified through the National Statistics Office (NSO) before the U.S. Embassy in Manila can issue the visa. 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.

The delays depends on when the USEM send request for documents verification to delbros and when delbros will send it to NSO , and when NSO finish the verification until it forward the result to USEM.

"document verification" basically checks and verifies on the Birth certificate record of the beneficiary and Civil Status of the beneficiary.
