PW (Cora) please update - Jinky received her visa from Delbros today (Wednesday, Feb. 21st)!

For those who have upcoming interviews - it is my opinion that you should have full confidence that the courier they use, Delbros, will deliver the visa in a timely manner. There have been some who've experienced delays, but from what I have seen in this thread, those delays were with the embassy and not with Delbros. Requesting to pick up the visa in person is not necessary unless you absolutely cannot have it delivered to you.

Jinky was able to sign up to receive text messages on her cell phone from Delbros. The first text she received on Friday afternoon, the day of her interview. Then the second was yesterday (day after holiday) that her visa was in transit and she can expect to receive it with the next 1 to 2 days - and she is in Cebu. Very efficient!

Congrats on the visa delivery!!

I'm not worried about it actually getting delivered. However Sheryl lives in the provinces on Mindanao in a small town. It looks like delivery to CDO which is a large city that is a fairly long drive from her is 7 to 8 days from what I have seen. So for her location I would expect 10 days. I will be there for her interview and we want to fly back together of course if possible. So going back to her town and possibly waiting 10 days is not an option. We will stay in Manila after the interview and I will ask to pick up the Visa for that reason. I hope they will allow us to do that. Otherwise I guess we will have to have it delivered to our hotel. But I really worry about that. Will the people at the desk mistakenly send Delbros away??? Will Delbros come knock on our room?? Anybody have any experience with that??

Hi Dean,

That makes sense. I think you're right about delivering it to your hotel - that shouldn't be problem - Sheryl can ask at the embassy what they recommend under your circumstances. It's my observation that so far those that have asked to pick up the visa in person have had to go through extra hassle to get permission and even then it seems to be 2-3 days.

Best wishes with the upcoming interview!

How did she do? I hope the cough was nothing!

Hi Panicked,

Yea, Lord willing her cough was mellow yesterday and nothing was brought up about it.

We know its nothing from a previous Xray and a visit to the doctor, but we were worried about what happened to Rob and his sweety.

Everything seems fine but we are waiting for the results when she goes back today. Then we will relax.... well until the interview, hehehe!

Thanks for caring,

Mike

Hi guys! Im sorry if im being impatient with my visa delivery, its just that I have a reservation for my ticket and tom (Feb 22) is the deadline. If they automatically cancel my reservation, i might not be able to get another March 2 flight because its already fully booked. I checked Delbros website and my question is: what does this mean "SHIPMENT RECEIVED AT DISTRIBUTION CENTER"? Y'guys think its already here in Davao? I hope I'll get my visa tom b4 12 noon so that I can book my ticket already. They wont book my ticket until they see my passport and visa

-TeSsA-

Yazi is in Davao and received her's in 7 days. hope you'll get it today, don't forget to go to CFO for the stamp.

[sunandmoon 450]

PW (Cora),

Hope you will feel better soon from migraine. Maybe from too much talking and not enough sexercise.

Thanks Steven (and Rebel too). I feel much, much better today.

And yes, not enough sexercise contributes to tension headaches . And so I called my sex therapist and he is arriving on March 2 and so I’m off to some serious “treatment” for two weeks in undisclosed exotic “clinics”.

Any volunteers in maintaining/updating our list while I’m gone? I will be incommunicado starting March 2 and will be back on March 19. Any one please, pretty please?

Updating to welcome pnoy00pogi and to wish good luck to macky (today's interviewee) and mydestiny (for tomorrow's interview). Good luck Birdy, Gobdogman and pnoy00pogi on Monday. I am also removing the names of those who have hurdled their January interviews.

Yaahoo, March is right around the corner for those waiting for March interview. Summer is here! Beach time! :energetic:

Hi everyone, I have just a few more questions. getting nervous and paranoid about getting everything together and perfect.

1. what is considered a late registered BC? I'm taking it that that's only when you're BC has that late register stamp on it? My Fiancee's BC is registered on april 22nd but she was born on april 15th. Is it considered late registered?

2. My fiancee's BC has her mom's middle name misspelled. It is spelled Tocino on her BC but her mom's middle name is spelled Tocmo. So in her DS 157, she spelled it the correct way of Tocmo instead of the misspelling of Tocino. Also her CENOMAR will have her mom's middle spelled as Tocmo instead of Tocino. Will this cause a problem during the interview? Does there need to be anything done to fix it on her BC?

Thanks and congrats to all that just go approved and just got an interview date

I think we should vote someone to take PW place while she is absent!!!

I will miss your input but when it time for therpy and relaxation forget the rest and take it...

Good to hear you are feeling better and I want to wish you a great time on your get-a-way....

[one...two...tree 2,762]

PW (Cora),

Hope you will feel better soon from migraine. Maybe from too much talking and not enough sexercise.

Any volunteers in maintaining/updating our list while I’m gone? I will be incommunicado starting March 2 and will be back on March 19. Any one please, pretty please?

Coincidentally, my therapist will be arriving here on March 2 and I can already feel the migraines about to blossom. Serious treatment for sure!
