Hi sister! I just want to congratulate you and your hubby! :) this has been very inspiring for us all. Sana sunod2 na. God bless. Anyway question lang, may option kaya to pick up yung visa kapag narelease na? Or do they mail it directly sa mailing address?
Hello sis :) maraming salamat! Don't worry, kayo na ang sunod :) the good vibes around is really contagious :)
And dun po sa question mo sis, i think pede naman talaga i-pick up...may mga gumagawa nun e...nag-PPR ka na po ba? Pede mo isama sa PPr mo yung request letter mo for pick up...just make a letter informing them that you want your visa to be picked up instead...pero kung nag-PPR ka na...maybe, you can make an email stating your request :)

All the best sis and God bless! Hang in there...just keep the faith :) God is good!

Hello sis! Just to answer your question. I think you can write a letter requesting to personally pick-up the visa and include it when you submit your passport to the embassy. Or you can indicate dun sa box on the Appendix A where it says, "Address where your passport can be returned by courier collect". But it still depends on the VO if they will grant your request or not. Case-to-case basis pa rin siguro. :)
Thank you, bro for answering my question! :) If ever they send back the passport with visa along with the supporting documents by DHL, do we need to prepay for that or do we need to pay for anything before the documents are released to us?

Thanks sis!! Yung hubby ko is naPPR na last november 08, kaso hindi pa namin nasend yung docs kasi andaming nirerequest na docs like NBI and AOM, tapos nung nagrequest husband ko ng NBI clearance nung Nov. 11 pinabalik pa sha ng Nov. 26, which is medyo nafrustrate yung asawa ko. But anyway, we're almost ready to submit everything. Sana tuloy2 na. salamat, and happy trip sis. :)

Sis ako, sis! Hehe. I'm not sure if DHL has a prepaid collect service, wherein you can already prepay the return envelope for your visa. But I think LBC has that based on what I've read from other members. If you won't opt for the prepaid collect, you have to pay DHL once they deliver the visa to you. I think it costs P95. :)

Baka nga ganon ang nangyari, sis. Nung napansin nila na expired na yung medicals mo, sinendan ka na agad ng re-med request. Sakto lang din ang timing. Wait mo lang, in a few weeks, DM ka na rin! :) Ok naman, sis. Waiting na lang ng visa ni husband. Hopefully, by end of this month, which is by end of this week na rin, sana visa on hand na kami! Hehe. Dasal lang tayong lahat! :)

Sis, does your husband need to pay anything from LBC? or did he prepay to have his visa delivered?

WOW! Congrats to you and your husband, sis! FINALLY! Hehe. Did you opt for LBC's prepaid collect service that's why they are the ones who delivered the docs, instead of DHL?

Hi sis,

when he sent his passport, appendix a and personal history through LBC and prepaid for return. He was so excited when he got the call from the courier, he was expecting the package to be delivered LBC, all the while when he got a call again from the delivery guy since he was nearing hubby's house, he was from DHL.:) ;D ;D ;D Visa finally on hand. Hubby just had to pay Php 100.00 for the delivery charge.


God is good all the time. ;D
