document varification USEM Manila

[nicole/philip 0]

hello my VJ family. well, first of all, i wanna thank Tim Y for this very informative and helpful post.

as for my interpretation on this issue, i think, the payment is to avoid the delay of the visa issuances that will give an additional (approximately) 2 weeks for the verification of the nso documents. if you want to avoid it, you can pay the P650 fee before the interview.

after i read this post, i called the immigrant visa unit at the us embassy here in manila and verified this information that i saw from their website. and the lady told me that i need to pay that P650 verification fee in order to avoid the delay for the visa issuances. and as far as i can remember, if you didnt pay this fee prior to your interview, you have to pay for this one after the visa interview. but i'm not pretty sure with this part.

what will i do now is to pay this fee soon and follow the instructions and bring the payment slip during my interview.. it's always better to be prepared than sorry.

thanks and God bless us all.

i feel bad for the people applying for their immigrant visas who are not aware of this information. i hope we can do something to help them....

maybe USEM can (i hope) contact those who already have upcoming interviews early enough to let them know about this issue. good luck to everybody.

well, as far as i can remember on the conversation with the immigrant visa unit, those who didn't pay in advance will have to pay during the interview and the verification will take 2 weeks. so, it's better to pay in advance to have an early verification so that you won't have a 2 week wait for your visa.

better to be well prepared than not. hehe

thanks tim y for the information. does it mean that the instruction for texting delbros was wrong that's why you got an error message? or just typed it wrongly coz you were excited? hahaha..

hello.. does everyone have to do this? My fiancee did the same and she got a reply saying that her first and middle name NOT MATCH? It's like haller do they know better what's her real name? Or it because they don't have a record of her because she don't need to do this because she got her packet before they implied this new rule? So what's the deal? we are confused.. i sent them another text on behalf of my fiancee through chikka and I'll wait and see if I will get the same reply from them.. thanks guys..

A reply takes about 24 hours. I sent it a hole lot of times and they verry quickly replyed a lot back and finally I got it.

Make sure it is in capital letters and that there is a comma between the last and first name they are very picky

Bing and carl I am very excited for both of you. That is wonderful you passed. Naricar is worried about that and will be happy once she has passed it.

God bless

Bod is great

BUMP for the newbies..

I am finding it is important to put a comma (,) after the last name also to I have the extension to get Delbros direct rather then there no one knows anything call center. The first text We sent came back with no last name and they are saying it is because there is no coma after the last name on the text. How dumb is that. If they are suppose to verify documentation how smart do you need to be to hold things up by a comma. Grace at the usem said this is a new process and they are working out the kinks. I will let everyone know what there message says from the new text we sent with a comma and will adv the extension tonight.

God bless

Tim

Tim,

What is the number at their place for someone that knows what the heck is up with their system. Chikka isn't worrking for us either. When my fiancee called the lady said, "oh, your middle name is too long." jeez...look at their example name....

USE/MNL987654321/Montemayor, Maria Angelica Fatima Buenaventura/

Gil Puyat Ave/NOV 28, 2007/1430PM/PHP650

What a joke. My fiancee's middle name is only about 10 characters long and the rest of her name is no where near as long as their example...

I followed the delbros example ..but each time i send it they reply that i sent an invalid format..grrrrr...i tried erasing the PHP in the amount entry, and used the usual 12 hour system (1pm instead of 1300pm like in their example). eventually they were able to accept my sms. My unlimited text went zero because delbros is globe and i am smart.

Thanks, Tim. She finally got it to go through and got the confirmation that they received it. BTW, she didn't change anything with her middle name...just kept trying...

My wife has made the deposit and sent the text. She got back the confirmation with no problem.

I am happy to hear everyone's text is working.

guys, just a tip when texting delbros. put your name the way it was written in your packet. like for me, my name has Ma. but they dont have a "period" in their record so i didnt include that. then, my middle name has ñ and they dont have it in their record so i replaced that with a plain n.
