Hello Guys,
I know this question is really not unusual question that has been posted, but probably I will just ask for a clarification in this matter because of the situation in our case as CR1...Like i have mentioned befoe..we seeked for the help of an agent in our papers...because before i really have no idea of how the paper goes like this until I found this site that has been so helpful for me to understand what we are going through now..We filed this January 2008..we have been approved approximately about April(I1-130)taking the CR1 route since we were informed by the NVC to start the processing of the CR1 but our original plan is to take a K3 visa..sinced our 129f remains pending..so now we are in CR1..Now,we have the case number with the instruction packet to our lawyer to obtain the other documents needed for the review by the NVC...I just want to ask..I frequently reading about the AR thing after the interview regardless they paid a month before their interview already..will it be ok to pay the DELBROS now that i have the case number? or shall i wait for the notice first from the embassy?When is really the best time to pay the DELBROS for the embassy to have the enough time to verify the documents?Lastly, how much will be paid if on our case we are married..will BC and MC paid as one P650..or this are two documents so double amount?Thank you in advance with the reply...Goodluck to all of us!!!!GOD BLESS!!!

...hi! yes, it is better for you to pay now since you already have case number. U pay at any metrobank branches the amount of 650 pesos for your document verification..you can see the instruction on how to text your payment info to DELBROS in USEM website..then have follow up on it to make sure they will notify the embassy of your payment to avoid delays cos delbros is sucks! hope that could help!
Just to give you an idea on what to do about document verification, you may want to look here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=129059 under Section 4.5

There are many who advises to pay as early as you can. I personally advise against it.
K1s and K3s usually gets their cases transferred from NVC to Manila Embassy within a couple of weeks. But unlike K1s and K3s, CR1 cases like yours, stays at NVC for 3 months or possibly more. Because of this, I personally advise against paying Delbros way too early. Especially for CR1/IR1 cases.
For one, Delbros cant do anything with your case. Worse they might get confused, which they have been known to do, and delay your case even more. At this point, the US embassy is still not even aware of your case so why should Delbros?
My advise is for you to wait until NVC sends your case to the US embassy in Manila.
In my own case, I have known my case # since January 17 but did not pay Delbros until May 13 when I knew NVC transferred my case to Manila.
