No More Delbros as Courier?

[amorsiempre 0]

After getting my cenomar/CEMAR around 10am yesterday. I submitted the obtained documents (CEMAR and annotated marriage cert) ,passports ( my kids' and mine ) , and all the forms that USEM gave me. ( including the white slip that had the checklist and filled out blue form ).

The Mr. (at window 19) ,checked the documents...he then asked me if all the passports were complete. HE said " ok na " ..Then asked me if I already paid for he Delivery fee . Told him not yet..then he said I can just pay it,as COD, just wait coz we changed our courier. So I asked him , in a way of confirming what he just said , that I'll just have to pay the fee when I received the visas? he said : yes.

I didnt ask anymore question..Except if it was already ok / "done", and if i could go. He said yes..When he said yes, it sounded like the submission of the documents went ok, except for not paying the delivery fee. Is it really true, they have now a different courier? I was worried..., still worrying,, , that he didn't let me pay it, coz I was thinking,maybe it could be another delay again( reviewing our applications will take longer again? )

Anyone here, who just had their interview or submitted add'l documents yesterday? and wasnt asked to pay for delivery fee and COD way instead? pls. help.... thanks in advance .

*******************

i was interviewed last dec 19 and it was Delbros whom i pay for the delivery...and just this morning delbros txted me that our visa are ready to deliver...so it means their courier is still Delbros...does it make sense?

not really, that only means delbros took your money on the 19th, so they have to deliver coz they are paid already. things could have changed since then. I would call the embassy. from here i dial 632 301 2000. and ask the operator to connect you to delbros or their current delivery service...

delbros delieved our visa Dec 30 maybe someone one new for 2009 dont know

[amorsiempre 0]

yes , confusing, thank you for the contact # Ronjie... We will try to call next wk or visit usem again, if they'll allow me to go inside ..

I hope that was the reason they didnt let me pay it, why as of tues, jan 6, 2009 (she was the last one who was interviewed and paid delbros, )and why just on short notice?

Hope someone who had (today) or will have their interview in the next few days, will ease my worries somehow.

Thanks for replying everyone. My husband will try to call the USem tomorrow and ask ..

As of now, there are 2 other applicants who didnt pay the delivery fee. one applicant was given the form in paying delbros delivery fee but she has chosen COD and there's one vj member said, the person who accepted her add'l documents said also, that she will just have to wait, but she then asked if she could pick up her visa. But they said ,she will be informed first when to pick up.

Congratulations Cezychic!

God Bless Us All

Delbros was part of Document Verification process, and Delbros was part of our Visa Delivery.

I will always have a bad taste in mouth when I see the word Delbros.

But it was fun calling and torturing Robbie at Delbros, I personally tortured the guy. I would call him from USA, PI LandLine, PI Cell.

My husband just called USem this am and asked some questions re our case and if we could pay the visa delivery fee. He spoke to a guy, who told us to wait a month, and they will let us know when to pay it. My husband asked why it will take a month just to verify a single document.

My husband mentioned also about Delbros verification fee refund. The DV was paid Sept 15 of last yr.He said we can send a fax about the refund. Its weird that when I tried sending a text to Delbros for "another follow up" ( last month) and see what they'd say, I got the same response from them, that my documents was sent to NSO last Sept 15 and it'll take a month to verify them,, so on........and so forth............

If DV has been "dissolved" why they'd reply like that ? As if it still exists? Are they still doing it ?,Could it be why, it'll take a month for them to verify the add'l documents I've submitted last week?

Asking help to those who have made follow ups before they got their visa (after frequent/regular calls to USem). We didnt expect that it was a guy who'd answer the call. I think my husband called the 1900 #.The number that has the locals 5184-5 is the only number to call Grace/Lorraine?

Thank you very much.

I had been sick with Delbros too. When I paid for my visa delivery fee last Friday, I mentioned to the guy that I wanted to get my refund for the DV fee. He then told me to go to the Embassy Pavilion and ask for my refund there. Now when we went there along with a VJ member I met from Davao, I talked to a cashier and said that I wanted to get my refund, I felt better when she asked for our case numbers and names. Only to be devastated that I need to go to the Delbros Main office which is at the Port Area in Manila. Or that I could call their telephone number and ask to get Robi on the line. When I talked to Robi, she said that I need to wait for a message from Delbros saying that I could pick up my refund at the main office. I told that her I will be leaving for Cebu that same day, she said well, you just have to wait. Could you imagine that? I guess they don't really plan on giving a refund at all! Screw them!
