JoseRizal and Rachel: They'll be releasing your visas soon. I know you guys have been patient enough.... a lil extension wont hurt . That will be USEM's Xmas gift to you guys.

@Ping - Matagal pa ang Pasko! Baka pwede sa Thanksgiving na lang? Tutal sa Thanksgiving naman namimigay ng mga regalo ang mga Amerikano at hindi sa Pasko. Malaking pasasalamat pa ang ibibinay namin nila Rachel (sama mo na tin yung iba)!

Hi, I've been reading posts here for quite sometime and i just want to share my case with everybody. I had my interview September 22, 2008. I paid Data Verification August 20, 2008, Documents forwarded to NSO for DV Sept. 1, 2008, documents returned to USEM Oct. 10, 2008.

My husband calls USEM everyweek for updates, today after numerous attempts he was able to talk with Lorraine. Lorraine informed my husband that they are so backed up the Consul Officers are reviewing visa application with Referral Dates Oct. 13, 14, 15 and my referral date is Oct. 27. 2008.. The referal date is when the file is referred to the desk of the officer for approval. She told hubby to call back next Thursday or Friday for more updates.

Anyone who has the same timeline as mine?

Lorraine said that soon after dv is returned to USEM it is given a referral date, where the consul officer will review the application. she said that the ones who did the interview are also the ones who also review our application. as of today Consul officers are working on docs with Oct 13, 14, 15 referral dates. She didn't mention how many applications can a Consul officer review in a day.

My papers were returned Oct. 10, 2008 and was given Oct. 27 as my referral date. as far as i can remember he's an old man wearing specs, very jolly and accomodating i think he was in window 52.

Thanks for Quick reply Leira.. Well I guess as I said before, everything depends on how slow or how fast are the consul to review cases. My consul was female and still waiting for 24 cases to finish. I dont know if shes done working 24 cases since Monday to have my papers turn to be reviewed. Well, Sis.. maybe your papers will be reviewed next week so hang in there.

Our COs are so SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! My wife was told by Lorraine to expect any news by December!

[M@C 0]

Hey I have a news, I let my sis call the 1909# for any update. According to her, the person from the call center said that there is still no DOCS verification from NSO. #######. she was asked what other documents was received. Of course I have none. she also asked when was the last touched by Consul and she said Sept. 26. what the hell. Embassy say DV from NSO arrived Oct. 17 and in Call center it hasnt arrived yet? Why would they let people call the call center for an UPDATE if they dont even give update to cases in call center? They told her to call again after TWO WEEKS???????? this is so annoying, frustrating, depressing, stressing and disgusting etc!!!

[jamesNrei 0]

Jose Rizal, oh man I'm sorry to hear you have to wait til Dec. But who knows our CO might surprise us and finish yours before Dec. Don't be sad, i will still accompany you guys til Dec.

M@C don't bother to call the call center. You won't get any vital information from doing so. Just stick on calling the embassy. Forget what the call center agent told your sister it was a useless information.

leira aka waitinginvain, thanks for sharing the information to us.

Lohner there is a chance you will have your visa next week based on leira's info.

jamesNrei Hi sis.. Ung sa akin lang.. parang nanloloko lang naman ung Call center eh. They charge very expensive rate for every call you make then they will give you false information? They are just a real money making business. How many people ung naloloko nila everyday who wants to know status of their application? nakakaloka talaga.
