USEM Immigration Unit: more accomodating with the USC

Recommended Posts

After getting the cold shoulder from Lorraine when I called up last week, I asked Ricky to call USEM and he called earlier this morning. He was told that our visa was finally approved last Thursday, May 29 and that it was already out for delivery.

I called USEM Friday last week, and was able to talk to Lorraine but she just cut me off and said "It is still with the officer SO, JUST WAIT, OK! Just wait ma'am, please just wait, OK!" (with emphasis on "WAIT & OK!")... all the while, our visa was already approved Thursday that same week, a day before I talked with her. :blink:

Now, when Ricky called, she was rather friendly and answered all his questions with no problem.... just an example of how friendly and accomodating they are to their fellow Filipinos. :angry:

Anyways, I am just glad, I won't have to deal with them again. Especially after I receive my visa.

DELBROS text hotline said that our visa is in transit to davao. and the online tracking system says:

WoW! congrats Gay, anyway I had a very bad experience about that same lady too yesterday, I called and ask her if she can just give me a rough estimate on when should I expect my visa, she've said so many reasons like I still have to wait because it has to go to diff departments and then to the consul again for approval(visa) I said why? because the consul already approved my visa straight from his mouth during my interview, why need to go through my docs again, and then she even told me that I'm forcing her to give me an estimate time eventhough she already told me she can't tell because it really depends on the processing, you know she was kinda rude, really, like I told my husband coming from a fellow filipina I am really dissappointed with the way she's talking to me, that's why my husband told me if I want, he will call again for me, he said maybe she will be nicer to him because he's USC, I just told him nevermind, we'll just wait for it. I even remembered she asked what's my reason for following up why I'm in a hurry, I said I need to be with my husband before our first wedding anniv this june and she said that's always the reason of others too, it's like she's implying to me that my reason is not important to her, and before I can say another word, she hang up the phone already! can you imagine that? Her voice is soft but her words and actions were so rude, I just followed what my husband said to me, just don't pay attention to her maybe she's tired of doing her job, I said that's her job, if she's tired already she should resign. I'm sorry but I got really mad at what she did to me, I hope someday she'll meet her counterpart and that person will have the guts to tell her that she's rude and she should change her attitude.

My thoughts exactly.. her voice was soft but she was RUDE... and she also hung up on me before i could finish saying another word... and at first, she didn't even want to look up my name on their system, i was giving her my MNL case number and she was cutting me off but i was insistent so she was forced to ask me to dictate the case number again and she looked it up but all she said was "PAKIANTAY lang ma'am ha, pakiantay lang OK!" (just wait ok!") then she hung up before i could finish what i was about to say.

Let your husband call, they will surely be more accomodating the way they were accomodating when my fiance called earlier.

Good luck precy, hope you will hear the good news this week.
