Where do you live PW? It can't be that difficult to find an address in Makati City, its the financial capital of Manila after-all. Delbros found my girl's apartment in Palanan in less then a day after visa release.

Hey BJ, good to hear from you (cute avatar you got there).

I am currently a homeless refugee at my sister's house in Las Pinas, a city south of Manila. I gave Delbros my office address which is just across Makati Shangri-la Hotel. How difficult is that to find? My office building is also a landmark in Makati.

Delbros still has not delivered my visa as of 6:45 pm today. Doug told me to wait until Friday before lodging a complaint with the embassy. And so I sit and wait patiently again...

[Pinay Wife 47]

Good luck, Marie and Bryan on the 27th. Congrats CocoPuff.

Have not heard from Dave and Fleur. Are you having the same problem with Delbros? I'm thinking that maybe the person who has our files sat on our documents and went on holiday.

cool, i'm from the south too PW - parañaque city

i'm ten minutes away from southmall & alabang town center

Good luck to you PW. If anyone deserves a good break it is you. The appreciation of your efforts on maintaining this list and the kind guidance and counseling of all the poor lost souls here cannot be properly expressed. I will light a candle for you.

[BJZags 17]

Doug told me to wait until Friday before lodging a complaint with the embassy. And so I sit and wait patiently again...

Must seem almost comical at this point in your journey that the only hang-up is with Delbros. On that note, I'm not sure what complaining to the embassy would do. I hope you can light a fire under Delbros and have them shake the palm-trees a bit and get your visa to you ASAP. Good luck, you so richly deserve it.

[Mike_Marivic 0]

Delbros site never worked any better, they will always give you a hard time. I hope they find a way to improve their quality of service. The site, more often than not, its down. And tracking your visa is not always working.

[Sheriff Uling 3]

Doug told me to wait until Friday before lodging a complaint with the embassy. And so I sit and wait patiently again...

PW...

I told you that you should change your VJ ID to ImpatientlyWaiting (IW) because God is testing you. So you want to be PatientlyWaiting... try this on. At least if you are honest, then you might get faster results from your prayers. You know that God is a pratical jokester... LOL! Not many people know that about him...

Cheers!!!

This was copied from the main "foreign embassy and consulate general discussion" forum as an after thought .. sorry for cross posting, but due to the time frame required for response and the lack of one at the main forum, I felt compelled to repost it here where the question will most likely be viewed by someone with experience in this area.

My fiancee is going to Camp Crame in Edsa, Qeuzon City to have her fingerprints taken and then to the Japanese Consulate in Manila to request her police clearance (she worked there a number of times).

Does anyone know if there are charges associated with the fingerprinting or request for police clearance? She is leaving in one hour but insisted that I get online and ask just the same.

Thanks,

CB

Hi all. I've another question (I really thought I was done with all the asking!). The lady at SLEX mentioned that I have to get the second Varicella shot after two months (April) so now I have to get that shot while still here in Manila (I leave June). Where do we put the record that I -did- get the second shot? Do I even really need the second shot? (i've had chickenpox as a kid, but have no scars because I didn't scratch.. ) Are they allowed to write on the sheet of paper given by St Luke's to indicate that I"ve completed the Varicella thingy?

Hello Our Fellow VJers!

WE GOT APPROVED!!! Yehey! At exactly 957am (MNL time)...657pm (SFO time), my fiancee text me that she was out of the embassy and got a perfect score I called her right away and she said her acquaitance with the CO is so short...about 5 minutes only...tops!...and that's it! She was expecting more questions to be asked but we've been blessed!

You are all so lucky. My wife FAILED the interview with a 68 but pass with a 72 because of the bonus question...

To Coco Puff and Jane ->

Where do you live PW? It can't be that difficult to find an address in Makati City, its the financial capital of Manila after-all. Delbros found my girl's apartment in Palanan in less then a day after visa release.

Hey BJ, good to hear from you (cute avatar you got there).

I am currently a homeless refugee at my sister's house in Las Pinas, a city south of Manila. I gave Delbros my office address which is just across Makati Shangri-la Hotel. How difficult is that to find? My office building is also a landmark in Makati.

Delbros still has not delivered my visa as of 6:45 pm today. Doug told me to wait until Friday before lodging a complaint with the embassy. And so I sit and wait patiently again...

PW-> I know how frustrating to feel that way. Makati is the business Capital and easy to locate. It is no excuse for them to tell you they can't find your Office.

I had my interview April 20. My visa was released from the Embassy to Delbros since April 24 and I am still waiting for my visa to be delivered. I called them daily since Monday (April 23) and Since April 24, I regularly text them for updates. ANd since their system is always down, you can't follow it up. I called them again this morning and as usual, they will just tell you to wait for it to be delivered. I live in San Pedro, Laguna (which is just the next town from Munitnlupa City and still considered within Manila area). I asked them if there's anyway they can deliver it ASAP and if not if I can just pick it up at their office since it has been released 2 days ago-> they told me to text their hotline for the request. Hmmmmm... they rae really trying my patience. I told her I'd rather talk to a person than to a cellphone and text my inquiry. She said she will also "try" to text their hotline and to give me the response but I should make a request through text! I told them there are a lot of people with the same problem as I'm having and I'm really disappointed with their services. They should do better! Anyways, I sent them a text request. I received a text response-> the same "recorded-type response" from them stating that my visa has been released etc, etc, etc... I've been receiving this for the past 2 days.

To those who got approved and received their VISA-> CONGRATS!!!

To those who will have their Interview and Medical May-June-> GOOD LUCK!!!
