hi! i just finished my visa interview today. everything went smoothly, no problem, except for the document verification. i already paid delbros for DV, but the CO asked for 2 DV, so i was asked again to pay delbros. i think i was asked to have 2 DV because of my birth cert and marriage cert. i was not the only one who was asked for 2 DV.

the only documents asked from me is photos, personal cards, emails (even not translated) and remittances. i was asked at the pre-screening the following questions:

THE NAME OF THE PETITIONER

HOW DID WE MEET?

WHEN DID WE MEET?

HIS LAST VISIT, NEED THE EXACT DATE

MY WORKING EXPERIENCES

after the pre-screening, i waited for few minutes then my number was flashed/called for CO interview. the CO asked me my name and where my husband is. since she recognized me coz she was the same consul who interviewed me when i applied for the US passport of my son, she no longer asked me questions, she just told me to wait for my name to be called.

in the releasing area, she asked me my delbros bank receipt, then i was asked to pay for delbros again coz i need 2 DV. then she handed me a pink slip attached to my appointment letter and a white paper. she asked me to return to her after i pay my delbros.

i made friends with few applicants, one applicant was asked to bring her college diploma and PRC license. there is also another applicant who was asked for the copy of the divorce papers of her fiance.

well, this is my experience for my visa interview.

good luck to all!

2 DVs?? what's up with this? i thought they clearly said:

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. Payment can be made through any Metrobank location. The cost of the document verification is PhP 650 per applicant.

did this happen to other members under CR1/IR1, K3 visa category? if anyone when through the same ordeal, please confirm?

:huh: hmmm you didn't mention about paying for the visa delivery fee...i was thinking the other delbros payment might be for this...or I maybe wrong but 2 DV's is weird...shouldn't the DV cover both the BC and MC? :innocent:

nevertheless...congrats!!! and good luck!!!

actually, i don't know why they asked me 2 dv, but there are also applicants that were asked for 2 dv, they said that it is for the birth cert and marriage contract, 1 verification for every document.

Congrats! But why did the CO asked for 2 DV? it's only now that i heard of 2 DV. :innocent:

for what reasons? Good tip though, thanks! :thumbs: was planning to bring my credentials only.

but the CO asked for 2 DV, so i was asked again to pay delbros

we could then be asked to pay another one also for either birth cert or CENOMAR? they should make clear on this ahead of time.

Congratulations!
