hi guys, I was approved for visa pick-up last feb 6 and the embassy still has not called me yet to pick up my visa.... :crying:

Delbros Pro active text message service sent an sms to me this afternoon (around 5pm) saying:

"Delbros Delivers! Delivery for MNL2007839*** starts tom up to d next 2days! You must leave a valid ID & signed authorization letter or a 1WK Delay will ensue"

They're going to deliver it in Bulacan so i expect that it will be here 3days from now (but the earlier the better hehe).

I was approved last feb 7. I actually didn't asked for visa pick up! ;)

:dance: I'm getting excited! :luv:
