Calling for interview

[oldlipa 0]

My Fiancee received a letter from Manila embassy to call and schedule an interview. I was surprised that there was a fee involved. Its $18 if called from the U.S. and P53 a minute if called from the Philippines. I'm assuming that you can call on behalf of the fiancee if you call from the States. Which is more practical or economical ? Or does it really matter? Any experiences from fellow VJers?

well it's really up to you but for me, it was more convenient for me to just pay the $18 & call myself...actually even though they say the pin# is good for only 2 calls, i was able to use the same pin# over & over again maybe about over 20 times so i got my money's worth...if you call from the philippines you would have to use a PLDT landline

Based on my recent experience, I strongly advise to call from the US. It is most practical and economical. You can used the assigned/purchased pin for several calls. In my case, I called 5x since I had to do my travel arrangments based on my work schedule.

I guarantee you wont be disappointed calling from the US. It's easy, practical and econmical based on my recent experience. Good Luck!!
