Hi All!

My wife and 2 daughters will be having their interview on the 5th and I'm just a nervous wreck.

I read about registering at USTRAVELDOCS regarding visa delivery.

How does that work? Also, when do I do that? Before or after interview?

Also, the visa delivery fee, is this per person, or the entire application?

I just found out that my wife didn't bring all of the money that I sent for this trip because she said she was afraid of bringing a huge amount in Manila. So she did her estimate as to how much they would need during their stay and here she didn't allocate money for a visa delivery fee. :rolleyes:

Also, roughly how long does it take for visa to be delivered in Cebu via 2GO? Did you guys did a pick-up or delivery to the residence?

Sorry for too many questions!

Appreciate all replies!

God Bless!

Worrying is wasting energy on the things that you can't control, leave everything in God's hand.

First just relax and take a deep breath. There are no additional fees so she does not need any money to pay for deliver as it is included in the interview fee. The address that is on your 129-f for her is the delivery address for the visa. If that is not the address to use then go on ultraveldocs and change your address. If she lives in Cebu then it will be delivered to her address. If she lives in the provenience outside of Cebu she should follow her visa and contact the local 2 go for delivery instructions from them. You may have to go to the local 2go office to get the visa package.

You only have 24 hours after the interview to change delivery address, the address on record with your I-130/ DS-260 will be the delivery address if you don't change it.

There is NOT a fee for the visa delivery, delivery is included in the initial visa fee.

How long is always an unknown...

It's hard to tell what visa since you don't have a timeline. Answer still works for your visa.

States F-2A in his profile header to the left.

Not on my phone. So a timeline would help. Most everyone creates one as you know it's important to provide this so we can answer their questions. It only makes it harder to help, when the tools are not complete.
