Air21 Payment and Delivery wait

 Share

Recommended Posts

My husband and daughter's visas were approved today. When they went to the Air21 window to make a payment, they were told that they would pay upon delivery. They also did not tell my husband of the waiting period for the visa delivery. Is the payment mode normal and can anyone give me the average time it takes them (air21 and usem) to process and deliver the visa?

My then-fiancée also paid COD (cash on delivery) for her visa delivery. This happened because her interview was on a Monday and she passed it, but she was required to resubmit one original page of my I-129. She submitted it on Thursday. Then, on Friday morning, a caseworker at the USEM called her and told her that they had lost my I-134 and all of my financial papers which she had submitted to them during her interview on Monday. She submitted copies of everything later in the day on Friday. That's when they told her that she would pay COD for her visa delivery. Her visa was delivered to Bacolod in about four business days later.

Thanks! They did have a small problem during the interview. I petitioned my husband and daughter, and they were looking for my daughter's CRBA. I didn't fulfill the residency requirements for her to get a CRBA. Then the consul asked for a denial letter (they wanted us to apply for a CRBA and BE DENIED for it). It was a good thing my dad was there and he did most of the explaining. I hope everything is alright. They did not ask for anything else.. Thanks again.

You should be OK...I think that paying COD is the standard procedure for the USEM when there is a small problem that needs to be corrected.

Good luck. :star:

I agree with Tahoma. I myself paid COD when my visa was delivered. I submitted the document they asked 2 days after my interview then my visa was approved the next day. They told me to wait 7-10 days after it was approved, however, I received it earlier than that.

Thanks guys! My husband just received a text message from AIR21 with his reference number. Any idea if the visa was issued yet, or is just one of those "case on file" notifications. I kinda jumped the gun and bought the tickets for june 25.. I hope that 2 weeks is enough for them to receive their visas and for hubby to do seminar at CFO. They live in Pampanga, so I don't think it's outaways from Manila.. but you never know.

I think you might've seen them. My daughter was the little girl running around like she was high on glucose and my dad the big guy with the tats. :rofl: They had some problems, so they had to stay until around 1:30 for their approval. Give me a heads up when you get your visa ok? I hope they get theirs asap.. I would help me sleep better at night

  • 5 months later...

It's been 6 days, and I haven't got my visa delivered yet. I wonder what's taking them too long, and if this a part of their transition... My worry is I'm scheduled to go home to Samar this early morning (4AM), and even though I left my sister my authorization letter she'll also be busy with her job by next week. Paano na kung dumating yung taga-Air21 na walang kataotao dito sa apartment namin, dahil sa Dec5 pa ang balik ko... :-(

Just got it now. I received the call on Monday, but I was already out of town, so I told them to keep it and just deliver it on Saturday.
