can my fiance go to bank of the philippine islands and do this? She lives in CDO and I couldnt find any metro bank there. Also, how long before the interview should this be done, or does it matter?

hi, i don't know if it's okay to pay at BPI for document verification , maybe somebody can answer this for you.. Some advised that as long you have the MNL case number it's better to pay early for this doc. verification fee. And that what i will do to pay ahead of time..

no you cannot pay at BPI...they don't accept DELBROS payments

hi - you're also on K3, did you use your married name when you texted Delbros?

Hi there, i am not paying yet , i will do the payment tomorrow and yes i will use my married name..

I see - Thanks I'll use my married name as well.

Hi Im from CDO...there are 6 metrobank in CDO as what Donnys Princess shared here. I pay my delbros verification fee a month earlier before my interview in METROBANK VELEZ-YACAPIN STREETS. They will gonna ask for P50.00 more for a service fee that they collect outside metro manila.All in all, you will pay P700. GOODLUCK.

i am just wondering abt this NSO verification...the lady that i fly with on my way to US is on K1 and she said that she didnt pay for NSO verification...i wonder why...and i really dont know why...

This is just my guess, but they don't send everyone to Document Verification. She was one of the lucky ones who didn't get sent.
In which case she would not have had to pay it. If they had sent her, she would have had to pay it at the time and probably would have taken longer since the fee had to be processed as well.
But like I said this is just my guess

Not all visa petitions are put through document verification. The USEM website states:
Those with a delayed birth or death certificate or only local civil registrar copies of such documents may need to have their documents verified.
In order to avoid unnecessary delay in the visa issuance process, the U.S. Embassy in Manila strongly encourages applicants in the categories mentioned above to pay the document verification fee prior to their immigrant visa interview.

It seems they pick visa petitioners at random as many VJers under document verification AR do not fall in the delayed or civil registrar document classification.

Hi edp333,

what do you mean? does this mean not all are required to pay the doc. verification fee?

And also, how long before to get a confirmation text from delbros? i have paid the doc. verification fee, but until now i dont get any confirmation yet from them.. Is the number 0917-5555-5313 ? thats what i texted..

Thank you..

When was this flight? I have been reading VJ and I noticed that only lately that the verification of documents was added to the K1/K3 etc. processes. I am not sure but I believe it only started for those who had interviews starting 2008, I may be wrong. I was interviewed September last year and my cousin October of last year too but no document verification.

Myla

Document verification began in December of 2007.

Delbros doesn't reply back quickly.. I need to text them 3x and finally got textback the day after I paid my Doc verification.

I think the reason why they don't reply fast because they are waiting for the payment to be posted in their account..

Haha, Anyway, i just received the confirmation text from them today at 9:00am..

Glad to see you received the confirmation. Correct, not everyone is required to pay the verification fee. Many of us decided to pay it early just to prevent delays in the visa issuance. As you see in my signature paying early did not help us.

I still suggest texting or calling Delbros in a few days to make sure they have forwarded the verification to the Embassy.

Yes, i noticed that your timeline is quite long wait already, what's with them? why it taking so long? im sorry this happens to you guys...

My fiance just deposited to delbros and they arnt replying. Is this normal?
Also, my fiance needs to renew her NBI clearence because she says it expired in Jan 2008. Is this something they are looking for in the doc. verification. Im not exactly sure what they are checking.

Hi there,

i have received a confirmation from Delbros the day after i deposited the payment.

Your fiance must renew her NBI. i just had my NBI renewed. supposed to be it will be expired on September 2008, but some advised that its better to present documents that 's new (at least less than 2 months new)

Good luck..

I paid on March 21st didnt receive acknowledgement text so I keep on texting everyday for 3 days and still the same. I decided to call Delbros and finally I have received acnowledgement text within 24 hrs from the call.

i was just wondering on how DELBROS will going to verify our names at the NSO for our documents?
Lets say we paid them early, as early as one month before our scheduled interview, so how are they goin to check to the NSO, when we paid and when we texted them we only texted our names and case number, but not our spouse's name in it. Do they communicate with USEM and they give the infos that NVC sent to USEM?
its some kinda confusing. i have read posters complaining that they paid ahead of time but still weeks of waiting and yet their visa is not released yet.(or those only who have problems with their documents at the NSO)?

correct me if i am wrong with my confusions. Thanks.

When we called I had Ricky ask about document verification and the answer he got was: :"some are required to pay, some are not"... very helpful indeed.

Yet on page 3 of the revised/updated downloadable packet 4 (http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfk1en.pdf), it says:


Let me just go back to the: "As a standard measure to validate the relationship upon which the K1 visa petition is based,....."... I don't know how others would interpret it but if I am to interpret it, I would say it means EVERY "K1" applicant must or is required to pay for document verification as part of standard procedure. (same goes for K3 coz it is also on page 3 of the updated K3 packet)

I don't know USEM is just making me dizzy . I guess I just have to go ahead and pay next week and then cross my fingers that I will not be one of the unfortunate souls who are put on doc. verification AR/AP even though they paid even a month in advance.

thanx shapey
