hi everyone, i hope this week will be our week. anyway, I called USEM just a few minutes ago... I used the 888 number. I spoke to a lady named chona and she was very helpful. I asked if there was any update on my case and she told me.. that the case is still with The CO. I asked again when was our case last updated..she told me on Oct 28 and Oct 29! I really don't want to put my hopes up high.... but she told told me the visa MIGHT come soon. I really hope so!! Its been a long time. anyway, for those who had been issued their visa...how long did it take for the visa to be issued after being updated by CO??? I just dont want to expect too much anymore!! I'll just do the usual thing...to wait! :whistle:

Calling the toll numbers will just result to you getting generic answers. It's better to call the Immigration Visa Unit of the US Embassy at +63(2) 301-2000 ext. 5184/5185 and look for Grace or Lorraine. Do note that these lines are for US citizens only.

maileen_bernis some waited for 6 weeks or more before DV is released. it's normal gurl, at least ur DV is now at the embassy. :thumbs:

actually, di ako sure kung yung oct 28 na yun ang turn over ng dv from nso or start pa lang yun sa nso. pero yun daw sabe ng call center agent. what cud be it? hay, been missing my husband half of my married life, tinapos ko muna kc kurso ko bago ipagpatuloy petition... baka me babae na yun! hehehe... just kidding...

am i was not sure sis. kasi just like u i was very busy baby sitting my 9 year old binata. hehehe... pero parang me nakita nga ako na batang me tale. hehehe... i was interviewed on the first window, am not sure kung 40 ba yun or wat. i was so nervous then that after the consul announced that my interview went well, wala na ko matandaan. hehehe

I've been calling that number since my fiance was interviewed and so far they are the ones that give me generic answers!! at least now, i know that my case was 'touched' and not just collecting dust from the CO's desk! :) Its really hard to get through Grace and Lorraine's extension. My overseas calls are hurting my pockets now. :wacko: anyway, ill just sit and wait!!! good luck to us who are still waiting!!!

hi guys! most specially to those who have their visas already "CONGRATULATIONS"

i called US Embassy this morning and spoke to Grace, she was so rude..... I wanted only to ask the status of my visa becoz it has been 7 weeks since my interview nah and she just answered me to call the Customer Service Hotline... and what is the purpose in calling there when those representatives will only give General answers to the questions "blah blah blah" She did not even get my case number might at least check my case since i called there already but she insisted me to call the Hotline... It is really really really really frustrating... it really breaks my heart that she did not just spare me answer if my DV was already there...

My fiance called last week and spoke to Grace, she said that DV was not yet forwarded to them from NSO.. Why NSO taking sooo looooong to think just checking if I was married before or not are they NOT high-tech... This US Embassy and NSO already getting out days supposed to be together with my love. I even not enroll my son for this school year becoz i was expecting that September we will be in US... I already missed the birthday of my love :crying: it's really really really really sad

I hope the waiting time for me and those who are still waiting will soon come to an end. I called again awhile ago UPS Delbros asking if they have any update from US Embassy of some visas for delivery, a nice girl just answer me that the Embassy did not forward anything yet from last week, hope this Friday will have a positive answer of any update.

I am getting crazy nahhh :( makabuang :( paita woi... kinsa taga cebu dre? bound to las vegas? :)

God bless to all!

Every Friday lang ba nag rerelease ng Visa sa Delbros and US embassy sis? bat kaya ganun? dapat araw araw or baka may quota sila every week? parang sabay lang yung date na nadala sa NSO ung DV natin. Kelan na release ng NSO DV mo? sana u will have good news na before the end of the week. Medyo matagal na rin pag aantay mo eh.

When I called Delbros almost two weeks ago, I was informed that they usually receive the list late. According to Delbros they already followed up the list but the IV unit was still finalizing the list and to call around 5:00pm. So far consistent naman ang Delbros pagdating sa followup sa DV. Kung ano sinabi nila Grace yun din ang sinasabi ng Delbros. So hopefully may update na sa DV later this afternoon. :star:

Sana naman sina Grace at Lorraine are "nice girls" also. :blink:

i can relate to that sister... i was interviewed sept 18. oct 28 lang nagstart dv ko, meaning sa 7 weeks kong pagaantay nitong oct 28 lang nila pinrocess... annoying but, take it easy...

to know kung kelan naforward sa nso case mo, try this:

case status<space>when is my case forwarded to nso?<space>date of ur dv payment

example: MNL2007****** when is my case forwarded to nso? paid my document verification on september 16, 2008.

then send it to: 09176221949

from there, u'll know when ur docs are forwarded to nso... hope this could help.. God bless!

that is the purpose why i am calling Grace or Lorraine at least they can just spare me this little information if NSO already forwarded my DV to them. Last week's update which my fiance called my DV was not yet there pah.. then my fiance complain to Grace, he asked if he can talk to somebody else who can take care of our case because it has been loooong already of our waiting.. Grace asked my fiance if I have Cenomar then my fiance told her that there was and it was included during my interview and then Grace hold the line and check on my paper confirmed that my Cenomar was there and then she said that she will forward it to the CO... Was this not bullshit??? We are only waiting for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! Only my cenomar she needs so she can forward it to the CO.... How stupid this kind of people working there!!!! Let us waiting when they have all our documents which CO will just recheck it.. My fiance right after he finished talking to Grace and end up the call, isn't it sooo bitchy?????

Are they working in our case? Or are they only testing us with our patience.. Do they have any heart to feel our anguish, the suffering not to be with our love? How come some just got their visa rightaway? It is not really fair with what they are doing to us. Sakit kaayo woi... and when we want to ask any update to our case they are just being rude... are we worthy to be like this from them?
