The Worrywart... (hahaha)

I would just call St. Lukes and make arrangements to pick it up there (if it's no inconvenience to you).

The USE usually sends out the Appointment Letter and Packet 4 once your appointments (medical exam and visa interview) are scheduled. Hopefully you have acquired most or all of the required documents because it's a pain in the rear. If not, [CLICK HERE] to review our modified version (our version is modified to correctly site the DS-157 Supplemental Nonimmigrant Application as the form that is validated by the bank upon paying the visa application fee).

Cheers and good luck...

Thanks Sheriff! I'll call St. Lukes then. It's not very convenient to make a trip to Manila but I can arrange that if this would mean that I'll have my packet 4 right away. And thanks for the list...

You can try to call SLEC for the packet pick-up, but you need to be patient as their phone lines are always busy. Phone numbers: 521-0020 and 521-8647. Or you can go there directly and ask for a packet pick-up, which is located at their ground floor, The last window on the right (I think it is window F). But if you already have the schedule, print that out (USEM website: http://203.177.135.10/ivappointment/login.asp ) and you can use that as your appointment letter to get an early medical, or you can also use your copy of the NOA-2 if you want an early medical while you're already at SLEC (just a suggestion, so you won't be wasting time).

Good Luck!

The long wait is finally over! Shiela picked up her visa from the Delbros office in Dumaguete today! :dance::dance:

The Delbros website has had the visa "Shipment Out for Delivery" since 04/25, and we had not received any texts or phone calls. So, yesterday morning I called the Delbros main office line. They told me the visa was in Dumaguete, and then gave me the office number there. When I called the office, I had to listen to them complain about how difficult it was to deliver it to Shiela's home in Bayawan City, even though that's what we paid them for. :angry: So I told them to hold it there, and Shiela went to pick it up from the Delbros office in Dumaguete... HALLELUJAH!!!

Such a long journey! I was beginning to think the embassy would never release the visa. I called the day before it was released, and all they would say is their standard AR story line "undergoing routine checks. Call back in 4 to 6 weeks". But they released it the next day.

Anyway, thanks to you all for your prayers and support. You can finally update my timeline, PW. Picked up from Delbros in Dumaguete on 05/01, only :whistle: 35 days after we turned in all the required documents.
