sis kelan daw ang release ng passport mo as per dfa?

[chuzzle]

sis, weird nga kasi when i scheduled my appointment, i said na i want it rushed. diba they ask you during the  telephone appointment. when I was there, i mentioned it sa immigration officer pero she didn't react. parang wala shang narinig so i thought na nakalagay na yun sa form, then at the courier section, wala ding binanggit so di ko na tinatanong kung kelan ko marereceive. inisip ko na i'll get is soon. eh april 12 na wala pa rin. normal ba to?!?!

[Lei_Glee]

Sis chuzzle,
Sis it depends kasi sa regular processing it would take approximately 25 working days.
Sa rush processing it would take approximately 15 working days.
Approximation pa yan sis, meron kasing mga delays sa DFA since forever.
Sis dapat sa courier pa lang sa DFA mismo, mention mo na na you need Rush processing sabihin mo ng paulit ulit kasi notice ko lang yung ouriers doon they do not pay much attention sa tao.

Pag passport delivery sis out of the hands of DFA na yan, sa courier ka na mangulit.
April 12 ang release date mo? Try mo tomorrow or sa thur mangulit sa air21.
Di nila matrace sis kasi di pa nakuha ng tao ng air21 ang passport mo.

sa akin naman, ang sabi april 11 ang release ng passport namin. pero until now di pa nadeliver. i was expecting na maideliver kahapon pero wala

[sachism]

sino ang courier mo sis?

[chardonnay]

mga sisses, I've been lurking around so many forums and grabe nastress ako kasi dami ko naabsorb na nega comments and desperations. Expect delays talaga. Kung walang maibigay na info ang courier nyo, most likely, wala pa talaga sa kanila. Me natawagan pa ako na passport assistance office, sabi they don't offer the rush option na. Siguro dahil na rin sa hindi talaga kaya. Mapa Manila or provincial branches, lapse talaga lahat sa promised sched nila. Bibihira ang nabasa ko na naka receive on time.

I have inquired sa DFA Lucena. They still accepts walk in applicants but they only give 200 forms daily. Regular is 45 working days while rush is 35. San ka pa hehe.

^^air21 sis

[chuzzle]

ano ba naman yun rush more than 30 days!!! wtheckkk.

ako rin air21! nakakafrustrate naman yang DFA. talagan inexpect ko na maayos at mabilis na yung process...mabagal parin talaga.

[Lei_Glee]

Sis chuzzle and juicy,
Wait niyo lang ng at least 2 days para ideliver nila then pag wala pa rin ask niyo na ang courier ninyo.
Sa akin kasi nalate ng almost 2 weeks! So I called DFA, andun pa passport ko sabi ng DFA hindi pa daw kinuha ng tao ng LBC sa DFA.
So I called LBC Multipurpose (Do not get this courier!) to get my God-forsaken passport, ako pa nagprompt sa LBC grabe! Then doon pa nila kinuha and delivered it to me 2 weeks after.
anyway wait ninyo lang ng ilang days..

[jddrgn]

pag tumatawag naman ako sa DFA minsan may sumasagot, but most of the time sobrang tagal nilang sagutin, sinasabi naman ng operator kung may kausap pa sa other line yung personal, pero pag ayan na puro ring lang.tapos pag magpapaconnect ka pa sa kanila, kadalasan hindi kinoconnect at dinodrop ang call.

kami naman nag mobile passporting kami, so sila yung pumunta dito sa place namin.ang quota nila is 200 i think nameet nila or lesser pa nga.we paid for rush, pero 20 working days yung naka sked na release ng passport, so tingin namin binayaran pa namin yung pag sservice nila.

dapat march9 yung release ng passport namin, tapos pumunta kami sa munisipyo dito samin, sabi na delay daw, di daw marerelease.last april8 lang na release ang passport namin.

sabi ng iba e sira daw yung printing machine, in which banko sentral pa ang nag pprint.so yun daw kaya ngayon halos lahat delayed daw

[tennisgirl]

^sis san ba kayo located? bakit 1 month delayed ang release ng passport nyo?

The Department of Foreign Affairs-Office of Consular Affairs (DFA-OCA) said today that maintenance work and equipment upgrades in the ePassport Personalization Center at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) facility are ongoing.

As a result, delays in passport releases are to be expected, especially in Regional Consular Offices (RCO) and at various Embassies and Consulates General.  The delay could last for a few more weeks.
It has also coincided with the seasonal increases in passport applications as a significant number of Filipinos are travelling abroad for the summer season.

At present, applicants would have to wait an additional 10 working days before their passports could be released.

[ysa.belle]

pag pala kumukuha ng appointment, pwedeng mong pangkuha ang parents, child and husband/wife mo. pero pag sibling hindi pwede...

pero palakasan din... yung uncle ko may pinakisuyuan na kumuha ng appointment for my sister & her barkadas para magrenew ng passport. my uncle gave the forms (pinakuha niya nung tuesday) to my sister & her barkadas yesterday at ang appointment nila today.

[juicy]

hayyzzzz.... grabe! walang sumasagot sa DFA ha! nakakairita! 

buti nalang june pa ang travel namin! hmp!

yung tracknig number ko, not existing pa sa air21 website.. so meaning, di pa natuturnover sa kanila ng DFA.

march 7 ako nag-apply.. dapat april 11 ang release

[rxn]

  Ako rin tawag ako nang tawag since april12, sa DFA wala talagang sumasagot. April 12 release ng passport ko, sabi ng courier (mine is LBC) na sa kanila na daw and tatawagan nila daw today branch na nag-deliver kaso wala pa rin daw report/feedback sa kanila hanggang ngaun. Ano ba dapat gawin? naiinip na ko mag-antay e dapat 1 or 2 day(s) lang antayin para ma-deliver.

[janjohann]

Mga sis help naman, ilang tao ba ang pwede under family application? bakit everytime mag try ako kumuha ng appointment at may nakita na ako date and time, after ko iclick lalabas sa screen " sorry, for agency application, please visit the dfa website" ..... nakakainis kasi ang tagal i fill out ng forms tapos ganun, bale 6 kami ( me, si hubby , 2 kids and yung parents ko).

Tapos gagawin ko i refresh ko sasabihin naman, multiple entry daw ako, at iban daw temporarily ang IP address ko at pwede raw ak0 ulit later..... naiinis na ako....

mga sis na nagtravel agency, may i know names ng travel agencies nyo, thanks.

[juicy]

sis rxn, saang LBC ka tumawag?

ako kasi tina-try ko rin tawagan ang air21 sa aseana.. wala ring sumasagot! 

[Lei_Glee]

Sis Jddrgn,
Sis question about sa mobile passporting, as in pupunta ka lang sa mobile passporting na place nila, you do not need an appointment? Same pa rin ang requirements? Please enlighten me sa steps sa mobile passporting.

Sis juicy and rxn,
Try mo call ang DFA passport releasing section. Parang same case tayo sis (LBC Multipurpose nga lang ang courier ko which is such a lousy courier!!) what I did was follow up sa DFA (I forgot the name of the person na head ng releasing section na tinawagan ko) he said nakadock for pick up na passport ko. So I called LBC Multipurpose na pwede na ipick up ng tao nila sa DFA ang passport ko, they insisted wala pa so I told him sabi ng head ng realeasing na pwede na. So they got it anyway and nadeliver sa akin ilang days late lang  pero late pa rin. Pero at least nadeliver kahit paano.

Sis rxn,
Anong LBC yang sayo?  There are 2 LBC kasi doon sa DFA, one is LBC Express yung may call center and info center na pwede tawagan. And the other one na LBC Multipurpose na kulelat at magulo. Make sure mo kung anong LBC ang tawagan mo.

i love DFA!
i registered thru online reservation around jan29 and then my schedule for appearance was  11march. on that day, good thing i had the pass for 8am batch, as in 45mins tapos na ako lahat.


and today, i received my passport already, i paid for express delivery,.

 i thought after holyweek ko pa mareceive since 15April daw yung release.. but no, i was so surprised and im so satisified sa service ng DFA.
