thank you so much honeybear.

so I still need to wait for the appointment letter? Is that included in the packet that I am waiting from the Embassy? I thought I can just present the schedules I got from the visa appointment online. I wonder when I will receive my packet with the appointment letter. I really want to have my early medical on Feb 5&6.

My packet arrived a month before my interview. You can have your medical if you really need to. Just print 2 copies of the appointment you got online

Hi, just wana ask how to get the appointment letter online? I mean, what's the link to get there cuz am afraid I will get my packet late also. thank you.

Who is that Lady asking this silly questions?? Hm, I could have gave her the answer...

Answer to questions number

1. I can't help you here 'cause I am just planning to do it next week. I guess I'll just drop in. Here is the link for CFO seminar requirements: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/fs_manila.htm

2. You can have your medical sooner than your schedule. Just bring your appointment letter. They need to see your Manila case number. I have read in the past posts that NOA2 is not accepted anymore for medical. You have to bring your passport, original and photocopy of your appointment letter, 3 pcs 2x2 pictures with your full name written at the back, black pen and payment.

3. You can pay your document verification fee as soon as you know your case number cause you are going include that in your text message to delbros. Here is the link for the instructions: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfdelb.pdf

4. I brought passport size pictures for my medical and they accepted it for my PDS forms but they did not accept anymore on my second day. They required me to give them 2 pcs 2x2 picture before they gave me my vaccination sheet. I have not heard of pictures having a blue background. The packet that I got from US embassy states that i need to submit 2 pcs 2x2 photographs and must be in color, glossy and have only a white or off-white background.

Hello sis, yesterday i went to SLEC to asked if i can make my advance medical even my schedule is on feb 27, but they said its better i make advance medical 2 wks to a month. i asked the guard if i can pick up my packet 4 since i never recieve yet so they let me go to window G to pick up my packet 4. They asked my passport and my case no, but since i never bring my passport so he asked my ids, so i give me drivers license. i waited and 10 mins they let me sign and give my packet 4. they said imust xerox the apointment letter and give it to them when i start my medical already. I go out infront of saintlukes to take 2x2 photos then going home. IM planning to have my medical on feb 22, tuesday not so early maybe after lunch.

About the CFO i think no need to hurry to go for siminar coz its only takes half a day so not to worry about. and i read lots of info. its better to go to CFO after u get your visa. coz they asked you your passport and visa on it and if u can go early u cant show them what they ask. so better u take CFO if u have visa already.

My interview is on March 5, so im planning to take my CFO if my visa in my hand already...

GOOD LUCK!!!

WoW!! Yeah.. I think that's too early if your Interview is on March.. January is not even done yet.. Heck my wife's interview is on the 20th next month and she's going to do her medical on the 31st.

whats this documents verification? i read it on the manila us embassy website and it says there, ITS BETTER TO PAY EARLY THAN THE DATE OF INTERVIEW. then how will they verify my local documents (bc, nbi, etc..) if il pay the delbros earlier than my interview then HOW ON EARTH WILL THEY VERIFY MY DOCUMENTS?? obviously the only time the consul will check and see my documents is during the interview. so where and when does the verification happens?

anybody knows? i think its an applicants right to know how the process works before i pay that P650

If you think you will have your interview this year and your passport is valid until 2010, then there's no need to renew your passport.

thank you so much!

Do you want to risk a delay of Visa issuance for 650 pesos?

Question is.. Is it worth the delay?

I say what the heck.. I just want to get this over with.. I will pay for it 3 weeks before the Interview..

Heck I don't even know how it works, since my case is still in the US, and hasn't forwarded to the USEM Manila.. How can they verify documents that they don't have..

Some say if you have a case # their will be no problem... But if you really think about it.. HOW? HOW?

I say just pay for it.. We will have receipt anyways..

As far as I understand it, the PHP650 is for the US Embassy to verify your documents such as birth cert., marriage cert., and CEMAR/CENOMAR at the NSO (if they really have the records to make sure our documents are not fake) that's why it's called for the DOCUMENTS VERIFICATION.. After we got our case complete at the NVC, the NVC will then forward our documents at the US Embassy, then the USEm can verify them. The earlier you pay (advisable is 2 weeks before interview date) the better so you will not have delays for the visa on the interview day. If you will pay the 650 on the interview day itself then it will take time before they can release your visa because such verification must be done first.

The embassy routinely verifies certain documents in aplicants file. philipine agency charge a fee for the records search, retrieval services, and for making copies of public records.

i agree with roserick...

i paid mine last december 29, 2007 and my interview is on feb. 6!

Im just making sure no delays would happen with regards to my visa (hope to God i get approved )

So my suggestions is just pay for he document verification fee and get it over with.

Good luck and God bless!!!

im not stupid to risk that Roserick, im asking how does it work and that falls on how long really does the processing of verification takes and when does it start, is it right after i text them?

u knw those sort of questions that smart persons have in mind. (no more, no less.) if youre the type of person who just follows to whatever commands people tells you, better be careful.. better to ask 1st than keep moving without knowing.

What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to go to DELBROS? "Hey I have paid my PHP650... I wanna see what you do with my papers from start to finish.. I wanna see if that PHP650 is worth paying.."

If you don't want to pay for it FINE! Nobody is forcing anyone here...

And excuse me.. I am not following what people tells me.. I think before I act, As far as I know that info about the Docs Verification is on the USEM website.. So what I suggest you is don't be lazy and read before you start asking.
