Its going to be better to tell your fiance to buy a five dollar phone card and use it to call Philippines. That is what I did and am sure its going to be fine.. Gud luck..!

It will cost $18 US to call and schedule the interview. The fee will allow three calls and some people have called more often than that with the same pin.

If she is using a prepaid phone,i think a 300 worth of air time would be good.

I've called about 6 times with the same pin.

To call the USEM,you should use a postpaid phone and not a prepaid one.another thing,operators from the US embassy is trained to talk slowly so she better be upfront and state her reason for calling.if she dont have a direct dial service,she will have to use the assitance of pldt operator(109/108),she can inform the operator to call her back for the time and charges so she'll know how much will she pay for that call.

a prepaid cellphone can call USEM, even the USCIS hotline. not only postpaid can call those numbers.

Hi ammike,

I believe it costs 53 pesos per minute if you will be the one to call the US embassy, but if your fiance will call, they will be charged $18 and that is good for 3 calls already and he will be given a PIN. He can pay for it via credit card. If you decide to call USEM by yourself, your phone must be an IDD/NDD, one that has direct international dialing services. I've tried calling USEM on my cellphone because my cellphone is postpaid, it doesn't work. So better call through landline.

Do you have an interview appointment schedule already? Good luck!

really?have you tried it?i used to work in pldt for so many years and we were the ones who connect to USEM once the subscribers asked for our assistance,and just a few days ago,i talked to my former co worker and she said you can still not use prepaid cards and cellphones when dialling the USEM number,but if you have recently contacted them using your cellphone and other prepaid cards then that'll be good.

Yep, I've tried it. I tried to call USEM on my cellphone because my cellphone is postpaid, registered under Smart telecommunications, and it doesnt work at all. I couldnt contact them, but when I dialed on our landline, I was able to. So I guess cellphones dont work. I was really surprised when I couldnt contact USEM because I have even called the US on my cellphone and it works, so I dont know why it doesnt when I tried to call USEM.

Yes,here in the Philippines,you cant call USEM by simply using prepaid cards not even a prepaid phones because that is considered an overseas call,you've got to have a DDD(DIrect Distance Dialing) to call it or call the operator's assistance for them to dial it for you but using the operator will cost you too much since you have to pay for a Vat plus more than 50pesos per minute plus surcharge.If the OP's fiancee doesnt have a direct dial at home,she can always go to any pldt business office and call there.as for my estimation,she'll be needing less than $70 to make a call,so i guess it will be cheaper if the call will be coming from the US.just my opinion.

Ive called probably at least 5 to 7 times with the same pin. As far as I know it doesnt expire but im not sure. They do talk really slow there and phenitically spell everything which can get old. I do think it is a good service though at least from my experience. This is the only part of this whole k1 process where the operators can give reall answers to your questions unlike the USCIS operators.

it's nice that you were the one who called coz it's cheaper than calling from here.yes,USEM operators were trained to talk slowly to make you stay longer and accumulate more minutes

good luck on your journey.
