Hi there,
I dont think you will need to call them if you want to have your early medical. In my appointment it says May 7, 2008 , but i will go for medical on April 21st. First week of May wont be good for me to go coz for sure i will have my period that week.

You just go to St. Lukes and bring the needed requirements..

hmmm if it not too much to ask, what should I bring for the interview? so i still need to bring affidavit of support since my husband already passed that to NVC?

Are you in Ir1/Cr1 route?
During the interview please check this link: Preparing for the VISA interview

hello it will help us all and it will also help others answer your visa related questions without needing to repeatedly ask what type of visa you applied and when you submitted and got your approval, interview date, etc.

Just click "my assistant" then from the drop down menu choose "edit/add my timeline"

Thank you very much and God bless you always.

I have added nova71 on the list... anybody else who have May interview?

If there is some corrections on the list or updates on your chosen medical date pls let me know... and for those who will be having early medical, share naman kung anong hotel kayo stay... Tango Yankee.

I am getting so excited for everybody.


Good luck to us and may God be our constant guide.

Hi Ate,
One of my cousins, she and her niece checked in sa Eurotel Hotel, P1950 rate. She said the place is nice and just a walking distance from St. Lukes and USEM.

One of my friends suggested eurotel so i included it on my list before but then another friend checked eurotel saturday, may mga short time rate daw sya kay diniscourage nya ko don.

here's the other choices on my list so far:

http://www.jade-vine.com/jade-vine%20(6-26-6).swf

http://www.hostel1632.com/index.shtml

http://www.hotelfrendy.com/

tapos yong Hotel Juliano daw which is 2minutes walk to USEM kaya lang walang website and I couldn't find other info aside from what my friend told me pero di rin nakita rooms sa loob coz fully booked sya nong saturday. It's 1K per night and the hotel facade looks decent and ok. so i might consider it for the interview.. im not yet sure though.

Anybody tried any of this hotels? any other suggestions kaya?

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy....??how come I can't do this??

... dear, I think the "custom member title" portion will be added on your profile information when you've reached platinum member stage which would be after about 850 or 900 post. (NO, I'M NOT VJ ADDICT! )

You just wait when the approvals come rushing in again from both VSC & CSC filers, you can post all the "CONGRATS!" and it will add to your post count... and also when the USEM has ironed out the remaining glitch of document verification, there will be more "I GOT THE VISA" postings and you can reply "CONGRATS" here and there... you would be a platinum member in no time, then you can replace that member words with your own

900 posts?? ganun.......?? pasaway nman! thanks anyway ate. Do you plan on sticking around here even when your application is complete? like after you get your citizenship and everything? kse I'm thinking the same thing... alot of VJ members here have completed their petitions but they are still active...and thats very nice of them. I wanna THANK them all.
P.S. ate, may halo-halo kayo? penge!

Dbears,

We have a K1 visa interview appointment on 5/20. Thanks.

DW

Hello DW, I have added you on the list I just put in the medical that you mentioned on one of your thread... So far there is one who will be going to the interview at the same time with you, she is from Davao and she plans to take the medical on schedule. In case you'd want to be in contact with her, just click on the name listed here, it will take you to the member's profile page.

Walt&Rafi, I have also included you already. As of now, its only Rafi who will have May 15 interview on our list. Don't worry too much, you seemed to have her fully covered, she will do fine.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY & May God be our constant guide.

Dbears,

Thanks for adding me to the list. I will definitely get in contact with the member you mentioned.

DW

Hi guys (and gals)!

I plan to have my medical exam taken on the 5th of May. The schedule given by the US Embassy is on the same date as that of my interview (May 16), will that be ok? I heard that even with the same date schedule, I can have the examination done at least a week before the interview...

Any comments on this?

Thanks...

Standard schedule of medical exam from USEM is one week before the interview. Others have their medical exam one month before. May 5 for you is very much ok. Good luck on your med exam

-Riza

Hi dbears! We forgot to thank you for adding us on the May list. Sorry po We know you don't mind pero sorry pa rin. We really appreciate your effort on this

Art and Cess have the same sched as us. I don't think they are aware of this thread.

-Riza

no need to call...just got to SLEC on the 21st and don't forget to bring your passport, 3 2x2 pics, your appointment letter and vaccination record (if you have one)....

it is ok oi

Art & Cess? can you at least give me a link to their profile? the names on the list are actually link to the members profile kasi so we could easily get in touch with members who we share the same interview date with. lang naman din. Thanks Riza

Yall are one be happy family... good luck to every one of you.

Thank you mike & zandy

We are all one big happy family here on VJ.

How's Zandy's medical? Hope everything went well... maybe we could read the details tomorrow?

Here's their profile: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showuser=44864 . Art has been contacting us through PMs about the interview. They chose the same sched as us.

-Riza

Thanks for the advise Riza!

Have another question though....I know that we have to bring our appointment letter to SLEC (along with the other requirements), however, I have not received my packet from the USEM...how's that? Can the early medical be done without this?

Thanks again in advance...

You are very much welcome. Print the email from the Embassy that confirms your interview sched. Also print your appointment online: http://203.177.135.10/ivappointment/login.asp . I just checked ours and it's already in their system. Either of the docs you can bring and present to St. Luke's. Much better kung ang dalawang docs ang pakita mo

-Riza

Art & Princess added on the list

Good luck to Frank & Rhoge who will be having medical tomorrow!!!!

Judgement day is getting nearer and nearer for all of us! I will be holding everyone in my prayers daily... May all of us be perfectly healthy for the medical and may we all be assigned to an amiable consul and may none of us get stuck with doc verification prison.

Casting goodluck spells and good vibes on everyone!

Is there supposed to be an email from the Embassy? I only have our online appointment schedules from the system of the US Embassy...

You are supposed to receive a confirmation email from the call center.....Click to view attachment

This is what you should print out (so much better if accompanied with the online appointment print out) and show at the embassy during your interview....

Bringing appointment letter for the medical is just a nice option now (for peace of mind). There were a few who had medical this week and last week who said they were not asked to present appointment letter at SLEC anymore.

I hope you would have everything you would need in order soonest.

I wish you the best.

Yes, that's what I meant

-Riza

Glyn has her visa interview on May 15 at 7:30am. She will go probably next week sometime for her medical.

hey guys! musta po kaung lahat?
yung fiancee ko po dyan sa pinas nagwoworry about dun sa vaccine requirements... kelangan daw po ba lahat yun complete?

kse ako po dati nung dumaan sa medical process ko (i was petitioned by my father in 2000) all i remember was they asked me all this questions about my medical history. (ex. kung nagka-mumps nako, nagka measles, chickenpox, etc.) and i still have a copy of my "Supplemental Form to OF-157" Visa Applicant's Documentation of Immunization from SLEC. parang list po cia ng Vaccines na binigay sakin dun sa medical exam ko. pro i'm not sure kung nagbibigay parin cla ng gantong form after ng exam kse march 2000 pa po eto e. I had 5 different vaccines given to me on that day. for Td, Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella. Yung iba po naka-list sa "not appropriate age", "insufficient time interval" etc..
Yun lng po, cguro bahala na rin ang SLEC kung anong vaccine ang kailangan mo pra sa age mo. I'm not really sure pro gusto ko lng share ung na-experience ko sa medical exam ko sa SLEC.
nga po pla....MAGHUHUBAD po sa harap ng doctor. pro alam nyo na cguro un.hehe.

PS: Gusto ko talaga ng halo-halo

Marami sa Chowking Asan ka ba ngayon? TY btw sa sharing mo

-Riza

I love chowking!!! WAAAAHH!!
Tnx din po. nasa florida ako ngaun nakatira.. mag- 8 years nako d2 sa May.
ikaw san destination mo? kung gusto mo lng i-share.hehe.

Wecome to the group Tim & Glyn.

Truckloads of SUCCESS for everybody's medical and interview!

I like Chowking's halo2x, yummy! Andito pa ako sa Pinas going to Mesa, AZ in few months, God willing. Ok daw sa FL dahil magkapareha climate dyan w/ Pinas. How true?

-Riza

Ganun ba? I have not received one yet. How do i get one? Do i call or send an email? Please help in providing details for this, medical is just around the corner and want to have everything ready way ahead of time....

Anyways, yesterday, I paid for the document verification fee required when i downloaded the requirements posted on the site of the US Embassy....just sharing din...

Thanks, as always, you guys are very helpful....

Welcome to our little May club Mike & Julie Ann (ammike) I'm so happy na naresolve agad prob nu with the address.. see, you dont have to wait for the 2weeks, that is just their standard answer.

I know you are already communicating with gina, maybe you could also get in touch with Kila so you won't feel totally lost when you go to Manila.

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYBODY & MAY EACH ONE STAY HEALTHY! No probs with medical and definitely no AR/AP for all MAY INTERVIEWEES!!!

the confirmation email should have been emailed right after you called the call center to set up interview schedule. wala ba any confirmation email ipinadala yong visa information team (the call center)? kasi they will ask what the email address of the visa applicant (beneficiary) is tapos email agad nila ang confirmation ng interview schedule, yon na ung parang appointment letter natin for SLEC and also USEM.

note: medical schedule will not be indicated in the confirmation email from visa information team since they will just advise you to go at least 1week before interview date but once you have your interview schedule, you can just go for medical anytime actually (MON-FRI, except holidays).

YOHOOOO!!!!
included na kami. . . super happy!!!!

Oh great the problem is finally fixed and you're able to get your interview sched Good luck to all of us

-Riza

I am making my supplemental page for DS-157. Did you put the complete address of the company / school? Or is it ok to just put the name of the city where it is located?

Share me yours

-Riza

Hi Riza,
In my DS157, i attached an additional sheet as my answer for number 12 (work) and 17 (school), i put the complete address for all of them. In the ds157 form question 12 and 17 i just put in the box "see attachment please".
-Shape

Thanks Shape. Another questions, did you include your high school? It stated "Include vocational institutions but not elementary schools."


-Riza

I'm also thinking to put my high school, but I ended up not. LOL! Maybe someone here may clarify this? Did you include the high school?

Yes, medyo pareho nga..pagmainit, SOBRANG INIT! pro buti nlng nandyan lang ang beach. pagwinter Ok din. wlang snow nga lang.
Pro mas mainit sa Arizona.. dry heat po duon e. pro maganda dun. 2 years ago I went to Phoenix and nagulat po ako sa ganda ng place. I'm sure you're going to love your new home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ate GAYE...so ikaw at fiancee ko pa lng ang may interview sa May 21 ha? sana dumami pa ang list! GO MAY!!!!

may 1st. just sent off my packet 3 too

CRBA= Consular Report of Birth Abroad, for our son so he can get his US passport..

I was thinking of just putting the city where the company is located but maybe I should follow you guys and put in complete address.

As for the school, I will be including high school... i just don't know if I should include all those other short courses I took like, therapeutic massage, flower arrangement, etc. which lasted from 2days to 2months.

My college credentials is already a little.. i don't know, check this out: 1st & 2nd year BS Physical therapy, then shifted to Commerce and finished BS in Commerce maj. in Marketing.. after several years took units in education, passed the LET board and proceeded to take MA in Special Education... then didn't take comprehensive exam and Thesis.. then took short courses on therapeutic massage: reflexology, accupressure, etc.

Di ko alam, ganito na pala ka-messy education background ko .. they'd probably think, so what do you really want to do? (my work history could probably compensate coz its all in the field of commerce.)

I know I should put in the big universities i attended but should I put in those short courses? therapeutic massage is already included in TESDA's list of vocational courses but i only attented the two months and the school I went to was not even TESDA accredited that time. pls help me decide on this...




Meron pang isa si desh, kaya lang busy daw siya eh kaya baka di rin pwede madisturb. taga saan ba fiancee mo? btw, ilang taon ka na, if you don't mind my asking?

ok lang yan si ammike and shape na mag-ate sakin kasi talagang mas matanda ako sa kanila, ikaw, baka 60years old ka na tapos ate ka pa ng ate sa kin ha..

hello deansteele, this is a may interviewee thread for those going through philippine consulate and since you have packet 3, i would assume you will be going through another consulate... if you could create a timeline, perhaps we could help direct you to the right regional forum... or you could pm me if you want help creating timeline.

btw, we would always welcome company here even if your not may interviewee or you will not be going through the same consulate. the more the merrier.

best of luck to your coming interview, it's just two weeks from now. I know you'll do good
