I would just like to say that it sounds reasonable not to get carried away with paying for DV too long in advance (especially before Delbros even gets your documents).

We paid Delbros a week after we were scheduled (about 2 months prior). To add insult to injury, we paid on "Manila Day" so Robbie said they were having problems retrieving information on payments made that day. My wife sent two text messages, I sent a fax, a text message myself, and talked to Robbie twice. Suffice to say, we haven't received any confirmation yet, and beside that, our documents aren't even at the Embassy yet! So right now I'm doing all of this stressing for nothing...

I will simply wait until 2 weeks before our interview and I will have my wife send the text message again. If no luck, then I'll call Robbie. If no luck then, I will repay the doggone thing

And just a heads-up, I guess Robbie is not allowed to disclose information any longer regarding Document Verification on a case by case basis.

Sorry to hear about the mess you are into... I hope things will be straightened out before your wife's interview so that the visa will not be delayed.

Good luck!

its been an agony enough to be waiting for the approval and then when u get to the bottom part u would still wait for delbross to move their butts! i just hope they would be considerate enough to attend to our queries but as of the moment i dont think robbie would still accept calls i tried it a few times but the guy picking up would say his line is busy even if he didnt try to connect the line to robbie...so good luck to all of us!!
