At the conclusion of my fiance's interview she was given a letter along with pink slip etc. She paid Delbros, but the letter stated
for her to wait for the USE to contact her, and it did not ask for any other evidance or info just to wait. ? ? ? ? ? ?

Does anyone have any idea what this means ? Or how long this will take ? Is this AR ?

I read about people saying " wait till you here from us" but they paid the Delbros too..... try call the Embassy for sure

If she made to pay Delbros, that means she will get a visa soon. The visa will be delivered 4 working days to 2 weeks from the interview date.

skyblue06 is right, even people who put into AR jail still pay delbros but in the letter that was returned to you by USEM after interview, if it states there to wait till you hear from them... could be you are in AR

Yep! That's AR!

You can try calling Lorriane at the embassy and see if she can tell you why.

If that is the lady at ext 5184 then by all means give her a call. I hope this is resolved quickly, I can understand how terrible it is to have to wait. The good thing is they had you pay DELBROS so the visa should be issued. Good luck

yes paying Delbros is not an assurance, those people who where in AR paid Delbros too, give a call for sure

Did the embassy keep the passport? That is usually a good sign if they did

thats one sign too

That's AR...

yes thy kept my passport.they only gave me the pink slip and one letter saying"wait til you hear from us"i ask the guy if i need to submit more evidence but he said no.everything is fine with my papers..im confused!!!!!we will try to contact the embassy on monday to make sure.Thanks for the help!!!!!

Anybody here on vj who have gone the situation like mine????????

"wait till you here from us" means AR, but if your confident enough that you submitted ALL the necessary documents then its just a random check from USE....

The long white paper that says "Wait till you hear from us", that means you're on AR. But paying DELBROS and keeping your passport is a good sign and that means your visa will be delivered after they do some background checkings. If they will need more documents from you they will tell you to submit it to them. Ask your petitioner to call USEM and ask for Lorraine Gonzales at 528-6300 loc. 5184. Good Luck!

Thanks for all your advice!!!!!!!!!!!!Hope we will get through this..Pls pray for us guys....

I have a friend who received the same "wait till you hear from us", found out later that they had to do thorough checking on her and after more than 4 weeks, she finally received her visa. She did pay DELBROS and they kept her passport too... Follow their advice about calling Ms. Lorraine. It always helps...

thanks for the help. It appears that we are in AR for aditional background check of no previous mariges.

Hi Steve+Cresvie,
Said a prayer for you yesterday and will do another today. Best wishes for a speedy approval/decision from the USEM. Take care.

If that's the case, it will only take awhile. Like I said, give it 4 weeks or so... Keep on following up on your case. Goodluck!

Hello yawl,

Agree you're on AR, I had the same experienced and was on AR jail for a month. No need to call the embassy, you'll just be wasting you're time and money. I called embassy once and no one could tell me anything I found through VJ that I was in AR jail because of my correction in my BC. You got the pink slip and paid Delbros, it is nerve wracking but be patient and wait, that's what VJ is here for to support everyone. Be patient.


Anyway, I've noticed that we don't have the long list of updates on the Manila Embassy Thread that PW used to manage that way you will know those people who are in the same situation like you. You'll see that you're not alone and it happens to just about anyone. Goodluck and stay cool! God bless yawl!


cheers

For us Buang Americanos..who only call Philippines cell phones.. you need to dial a "2" in front of that number, so 011-63-2-528-6300

Claudeth and I hope you receive the visa soon!

Hi,
My Fiance and I are going through the same exact thing right now. She also had her interview on the 13th, and it seems that the CO was not that friendly and would not tell her anything. I guess now we just have to wait. I will be calling Lorraine soon. Thanks for you help everyone.

did your fiancee got a white bondpaper stating "wait til u hear from us"?

techjid and Steve+Cresvie
-> hope it goes well with you both and you will receive your visa soon.

Hi good morning,let me ask some question: like mine, the affidavit of support of my fiancee has no signature coz he was a second thoughts to sign in it. and the man was in the window 38 said: i will give you back your passport, coz you dont have affidavit of support that has signature of your fiance. and He gave me the list of the additonal documents with a letter and says: """come back here in the USE if you have all the required documents with you and pass it in the window 17-20""" and HE let me pay the delbros. AND GO HOME.

So pls. text me back thank you God bless you.

I know this is discouraging but they did keep the passport and had you pay DELBRO so whatever delay that is going on seems to still be a positive for you. They wouldn't of had you pay DELBROS or kept the passport if there was something really serious. It is red tape that you just have to wait to work itself out.

Yes really you are right. But i only put all my trust to the Lord. I do believe He will make a way for my visa. and i do belive He will never leave me nor forsake me. thank you so much for the test. God bless you,
