I had my interview last Sept. 11, got pink slip and white paper marked "wait until u hear from us" and and a docx1 written by the CO. they made me pay for document verification again. i already paid for it Sept. 8. i dont know why they ask me to pay on the day of my interview, maybe because i dont have the metrobank receipt with me during the interview. i also paid for the visa delivery fee. now i'm patiently waiting for my passport/visa and at the same time worried. :( I was told it would take 4 - 6 weeks. It's been more than a week and i'm counting the days. delbros tracking says "shipment in process at the embassy". Anyone going through the same thing? Please tell your stories.

Hi. My interview was last Sept 12. The CO said everything is okay with my packet, they just have to verify the documents that i submitted. I was given a pink and white slip, then i was called to some window to give the metrobank deposit slip for delbros and then had me pay the visa delivery fee. I was told to just wait for my visa.

I was under the impression too that it will just take 1 week to get the visa so i started getting worried... im uber paranoid. And i read in here too that there are lots of people who got their visa in just one week *sigh*. So i called NSO, they wont give any info from here on, apparently they were told by the USEM not to give out any information. Just my luck! So i tried Delbros, texting... inquiring... coz the reply the ive been getting on their automated text tracking is "<case number> has not been released to delbros yet. Its still in process at the embassy." So then i kept trying (coz theres nothing else i can do)... asking about if my documents were sent to NSO and if so when? I got a reply from Delbros saying that they "sent my documents to NSO Sept 1 and NSO will release it to USEM as soon as its ready." But still im not satisfied, so asked someone from here and she told me to call the Embassy. So i did (after listening to a VERY LONG automated message hehe) and talked to this girl (Lorraine, she is uber nice). She asked for my case number. After a minute or so, she told me that my documents are still with NSO and they are waiting for them to release the results. They send documents to NSO every monday thru Delbros and pick up results of document verification themselves (not thru Delbros). Then the results are given back to the CO (who interviewed you) who will then approve and finalize it. Then they will release your visa (if everything is good).

Suffice to say, we can just wait. Im sure all is okay :).

Everyone is sick and worried waiting for visa packet,just want everyone to know--this week is my 7th week of waiting with my 2 other kids(Augost 4th).Called USEM yest and our DV request form has been released to them by the NSO last Sept 16 after 1 month of DV at the NSO..In other words CO has it and only God knows when it's gonna be in my hand.My husband always remind me of being more patient and keep my faith..there are times i lost it and i just fuss over to the gov,but sad to say,i can't do anything but to wait.So,lets keep all our head up and think positive! This will all come along the way we all plan it..

LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUST, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERSE. LOVE NEVER FAILS.

Oh we have to keep in touch then.... share status and stuff. Any results from your queries jamesNrei? :)

i gave up calling NSO since this Mon. the employee told me they no longer give any information. My fiance will make a call to the embassy this Thursday, so let's just wait till then. Based on all the posts I have read the best thing to do for now is just wait and look out for any updates from the VJers. It is comforting to know that u are not alone who is dealing with the stress of visa :) Good luck to all.
