Hello guys!

I'm a bit down. The white paper is for asking an additional document/letter from the Federal Agency administering my hubby's disability benefits. They returned my passport and told me to bring it back when I submit the document but also asked me to pay the visa delivery fee which I could do right away or when I return to submit the doc. I decided to just pay it right then.

Why do they have to return my passport if they gave me the authorization to pay the delivery fee? I'm so confused.

Please help me. It's driving me crazy :(

PAYING THE FEE IS A GOOD SIGN, THEY ARE PROBABLY ANTICIPATING THAT IT WILL TAKE AWHILE TO GATHER THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS.

TRY NOT TO DWELL ON THE SITUATION. IF YOU WERE DENIED THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SO.

GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED

Thanks for the replies. You're all right I should think positive and I already have the doc and ready to submit on Tuesday (I wish its not holiday on Monday :) ). Plus I think my doc verification is not yet with them too alhough I paid it a month before my interview. The lady on window 38 asked me for the metrobank slip.

I thought after the pre-screener who was so nice and didn't ask for any document just the pictures, everything is going to be fine. Until I came face to face with this lady CO (who's kinda healthy, ooops sorry). She didn't care to look at any of my proofs like remittances, phone bills, my hubby's flight itineraries, nothing, just the pictures that were already with her.

She was also kinda concerned with the fact that we got married barely a month after his divorce was finalized. But I told her when I met him he had been separated for more than a year and their divorce has already been filed.

I hope this has nothing to do with the additional document required.

Does anyone here know her name? She looks quite young and like a said quite healthy too. My husband told me I should have asked for her name. :bonk:

Hi i think they usually returned the passport kpag may kulang ka na documents...............Kasabay ka pala nmin nainterview.......Anong room number ng CO mo? ung sa amin nila Frostysoftyeaton and ChristophEvan, Window 32. mejo chubby pero maganda sya.......

Posted

Hi KandI. Yeah I guess I saw you guys there at the embassy. I was also hoping that I'd end up in room 32 based from the feedback of the other applicants, but I thought it was a guy consul. Unfortunately I was assigned in room 28 or 29, basta ung pinakadulo na open. I think there were 4 rooms used for interview then.

I thought she was pretty too but during the interview and while she's asking me those questions, I realized "di naman sya kagandahan noh" :P

Hi yea, CO at window 32 calls applicant so quickly...... nainterview na kming 3 nila ate Eva at Addy pero ung ibang applicant sa ibang room, d pa rin lumalabas. Yup, there was only 4 room used that time. We were just lucky that we had nice CO.

I wish we met there......... sayang.......u didnt approach us........

Maybe you're one of the young pretty ladies I saw there. I was just kinda shy to approach anyone and was so busy looking at the numbers being flashed. I couldn't even read the paper (re CR1 status) that the guy from the numbering booth gave me. Sayang nga but I'm happy for you guys. I know you'll get your visas soon!

Hi Red earth are you still waiting your visa? We are to I called embassy and they said call back Friday, it all depends on the case work of the consul.
