you need the appointment letter for the medical the rest is online
I have read here in VJ that we can use the printed appointment schedule online. I am planning to take my early medical on Dec. 20-21.

well thats good info. Can the $100 fee be paid that way too. I am being told by the USEN the interview fee is going up at the first of the year to 135.00 My understanding is if the fee is paid before the end of the year the 100.00 will be okay.

If you are referring to the visa fee, you can pay it to any of the banks listed in the US embassy website. I am planning to pay it to the nearest bank soon after my medical even if my interview date is like less than 2 months away. If the fee is going to increase then I may have to do it sooner.

I really hope this is our week......I pray this is our week.
Hopefully our interviews will be late Feb or early March.
Good luck and God bless

helo there Ripolo,
I was told by beng and carl here in vj that as soon as you have the medical and interview dates online you can have an early medical,,,just print the appointment from the internet then call the SLEC hotline. tell them that you have your sched online and pinted it, then ask them if you can have you medical in an early date....then also tell them if you could just pick up your packet in SLEC...
update me of what SCLEC will tell you about picking up your packet from them..wokei?...
hope to hear from you soon..

I haven't gotten my packet yet from USEM. I think you still need the packet that US embassy will send out and the Embassy also advices that the medical should be within one month of the interview.. I could be mistaken.. Ill call the USEM to find out.. or maybe some one here already knows.. anyone?
Just got off the phone with the NVC again, she said 2-4 weeks...up to 90 days.
It has already been 4 weeks. Sure hope it wont take 90 days

Grace at USEM told me to copy interview schedule from website. She said that there are delays in Packet 4. My honey will go to internet cafe. Print out schedule and go to St. Lukes 2 weeks before scheduled interview....
November 7 - Our NOA2 was sent from the NVC (after sitting in the USCIS mailroom for almost 6 weeks)
November 20 - The embassy sent packet4 with the appointment letter
The interview is scheduled for January 3. Elisa had an early medical exam on December 3. Right now, we're just holding our breath until the interview.

The medical exam is generally scheduled one week before the interview. It's best to have the exam done 2 to 4 weeks before the interview. This will allow extra time for St Lukes to get the results to the embasy and also allows you time to take care of any issues that may come up during the exam. If you get the exam done more than a month before the interview, there is a very good chance the embassy will make you get another one.
When Elisa talked to the embassy a couple weeks ago, she asked about picking up the visa in person and was told that the visa can be picked up in person IN SOME CASES. It's at the discretion of the person who does the interview.

Tim Y, there is one more condition besides paying the $100 K visa fee before the end of the year; and that is your interview must be before January 31, 2008. Otherwise you will be required to pay the $31 at the Embassy.

The only thing you really need from the packet IV is the appointment letter. You can call the Embassy and request a packet pickup at St. Luke's medical. You will need the the printed appoinment, your visa, and maybe another ID.
The instructions and forms can be downloaded from the USEM website:
http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3023.html
Scroll down to Immigrant and “K” Visa Applicant Appointment Packets. The two DS-156 forms need to be printed from online with the barcode. You will get one DS-157 when you pay the visa fee and will need one more

Congrats! Lucky you, at least you got your case number assigned. Does the website in Manila work to find out if their are interview schedules posted? This is the a direct link from USEM website for IV packet which provides the interivew dates but I havent gotten that far yet so I cant test it if Manila actually updates our status there. http://203.177.135.10/ivappointment/login.asp
I talked to Shana at the USEM Call Center 8:30pm CST. She indicated to me that the ivappointment website is updated monthly appx. 15th of each month.
We already got our IV packet from the Embassy!!!
