Help: Problem with my mailing address - Manila, Philippines

[katefs]

Hi guys!

Just want to post a topic regarding my concern. My PR application status has been updated to DM already but then I'm worried about how I'll be able to receive my visa package. My current mailing address is a DAPO BOX address and I just learned that courier services don't deliver to such addresses. I called DHL main branch and said that I should call the embassy regarding this one. Well, what I did was I emailed the embassy regarding a possible change of my mailing address (if it's still ok) and hopefully I get a response from them soon enough.

Anyway, is there anyone here who has the same case as mine? Anyone who's mailing address is a PO Box?

Usually, if your address is a P.O. BOX, then DHL cannot deliver to such address, however, if the embassy gives DHL your phone number, they will contact you and ask you to pick up the package at the nearest DHL office. Manila's response time to email is about 28-days, so likely they won't receive your email in time before the visa stamp is printed. I would fax them, as they receive this much faster.

Goodluck.

Thanks so much for the response, Canuky!
Yes think you're right! DHL would probably contact if in case they can't deliver the package to me.
Thank you so much!
