Just wanted to thank VJ for all the helpful infos we got from here. feb 7 was the second day of my medical and I got approved along with the other VJ members, Lily (runs4fun) and Margaux. Peewee still have to go back for her son's skin test reading and their results and we're praying that they get approved too.

As much as i want to post the detailed experience of my medical, i really couldn't recall the step by step process tongue.gif so i'm gonna try my best to narrate what happened....

I met lily at the mall so we can both go together to SLEC. We got there around 1pm and gave the guards our original appointment letter and the xerox copy, passport and 1 2x2 picture and then we were instructed to fill up the form and submit it after we're done. i think it was like 6 or 7 pages thick writing your name, birthday, passport number, case number, petitioner's info, etc. after that, go to the xray room. They took 3 xrays for me because the first time, they put in the wrong name, so they had to do a retake, then the film came out blurry so they had to do another one. My tip, listen very carefully when they call your name. In my entire time at SLEC, they did not pronounce my surname correctly so i had to listen very carefully all the time. besides, the microphone they're using has an echo, so it's really hard to distinguish what they were saying.

after the xray, go to the laboratory for the blood and urine sample. This is where we met Margaux, PeeWee and another girl Ioulanie who we recruited to sign up in VJ because she was so surprised that we know a lot about the whole process and she and her fiance hired a lawyer for their papers and we, VJers, were like, "you wouldn't need one if you sign up at VJ" tongue.gif after the blood and urine, we were asked to go down to the 2nd floor for the vaccine interview but when we got there, there were so many people lined up so the guy said to go back to 5th floor and have our PE first, vital signs and eye exam. So we all went back up and had our PE at rooms 7 and 8. Yes, we all had to strip naked! wink.gif i was just surprised how fast the lady doctor asked her questions. Being a doctor myself, I kind of knew the sequence of her questioning usually beginning with your present illness (if any), past medical history, hospitalizations and operations, and lastly would be drug use and family history. I was taken aback when she asked me about drug use because she said "cannabis, ampethamine, nasubukan mo na?" = "cannabis, ampethamine, have u tried them?" it took a few seconds for me to realize she was asking about drugs. She didnt outright say have u ever tried drugs? she rattled off the questions soo fast if you're nervous, you might answer yes without understanding it. so listen carefully and understand what she's asking.

after that we all went down for the immunization interview which took ages. we were done around 630pm and had dinner altogether. we were asked to come back at 2pm.

The next day, we went back for the vaccines. we were there at 1:50pm and Lily, margaux and Ioulanie got immunized around 3pm and I was immunized at 5pm mad.gif anyway, i was telling myself, patience is a virtue. be patient LOL i had 2 shots, one for varicella (chickenpox) and another MMR. after the shots, go down at the 2nd floor for the results. here, you have to submit 2 2x2 picture and your passport. Then we waited again and chatted while waiting and they will call you again for the results. I got called around 630pm, and i was so nervous thinking something must be wrong because all the girls i were with have been approved already except me, but thank God, when the guy called my name, I had this goody feeling and i couldnt stop smiling and he handed me my xray and had me sign the paper and 'm done smile.gif I called Dave to tell him the good news tongue.gif

we all had dinner again and stayed up til around 11 cuz we were all so happy kicking.gif

Btw, those plastic thingy they sell outside SLEC, the girls got it for Php35 only smile.gif

God is good all the time smile.gif

I am sooo kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif happy for that wonderful news Lyn good.gif . How I wished I was with you. But anyway, I will have my early medical on the 20th&21st. The only interventions that would hinder me on that date will be my monthly period... sad.gif I hope to see you on March 6 then yes.gif Thanks for the shared experience.... laughing.gif and you recruited somebody to join VJ....wow...it was so nice of you to help other visa applicants. CONGRATULATIONS good.gif
docjazzie
thanks, amy smile.gif goodluck on your medical. I'm sure you'll be fine. It's so fun being with fellow VJers...it's like a mini sorority LOL
let me know what happens on your interview and see you on March 6 biggrin.gif
Dave+Rose
If I will have a separate medical from my daughter (K2), will the result of my medical released to me after 2 days too or I will need to wait for her to finish her medical before I can have it? We are in the same petition but I will need to have an early medical because I am expecting my period by then and my daughter will come over here in Manila on March 1 for the regular medical schedule which is March 4. Im having mine on Feb 19-20. helpsmilie.gif
docjazzie
Hi....if you and your daughter have the same case number, you will have to wait for her because they will release the results at the same time. Can't she come earlier to go with you? maybe you should call SLEC just to be sure. Sayang naman if you go there on your own only to be turned down cuz ur daughter have to be with you pala.

Hi! i have some question regarding with my kids. Did you still have to pay for the kids Visa or you are consider as one, since we have one case number..please help..goodluck to you. helpsmilie.gif
docjazzie
i am not of an authority to give you an answer on this, but logically speaking, since you have to pay for your kids' document verification as well (even if u have the same case number) and your kids also have their own passports, u have to pay for their visa. Unless their passports are US issued. Maybe Jim and Heidi can help you on this. One of the girls i was with in SLEC have a kid and she mentioned paying at the BPI bank for their visas.

my son is also included in my K3 petition and as far as i know we need to pay only ONE visa .. it is for the primary applicant ........
the kids were automatically included.

what we have to pay separately is the medical fee ... our kids of any age are required to undergo medical @ SLEC

---------- fortunately the other other day, my son's case for his us passport was approved ..... no need for me bring him to interview and medical.
