Submitting docs to USEM

[Don and Venus 2]

We have an RFE for a couple documents in order to get Venus's visa. We were wondering if it is a good idea to ship them to the embassy by air21 instead of personally delivering them. Does anyone have any info or experience with this?

Hello,

What are your RFE's? Please share so it will help us not to overlook and we can prepare that kind of documents before our interview. Many thanks!

I got a blue slip as well and I personally went there since shipping takes 1-2 days for the Manila area. I didn't want to extend the grueling waiting period. Tell Ivy to drop off the NBI clearance at the Embassy and call 1-2 times a week to check on her case status. The visa will be issued once the consul verifies the document. Also, call the Non-Immigrant section at: 3012000 press 7 after the voice prompt then 5184 or 5185 plus #. Don't book a flight until she has her visa in hand. She can drop off the new NBI Clearance from Monday-Thursday between 1-2pm. I suggest for her to be tat the Embassy by 12pm since there are surprisingly a lot of people who get blue slips. It only took me an hour.

Good luck!

hey,congratulations!

i have a question,was she asked with DS-160? just wondering.

thanks and good luck!

Those under the K-1 Visa category are not required to fill up a DS 160. It is a non-immigrant visa.

Fill up one DS 156K, two DS 157 and two DS 156.

Good luck!

Hi Toni...I seem to remember that Chinook dropped off our papers at the Embassy between 12-1 pm. Have they changed the drop off hours to 1-2 pm?

[JORDANTONI09 10]

Yes, the letter specifically states to submit documents between 1-2 pm from Monday to Thursday only. They began entertaining people at 1pm sharp so those who came early like me, were accommodated faster. The documents are still received by the same windows though. I was expecting majority of those with blue slips to be fiancées too but a lot were tourist visa applicants.

Thanks for the clarification. Also, that's an interesting observation about the tourist visas. I'm glad some people are getting them. The Embassy should not be so strict with tourist visas.

You're welcome! You have shed some light on numerous posts so I'm glad to do the same. In retrospect, my mom told me that the man who was interviewed before her was applying for a tourist visa to attend his father's funeral. He was declined on the spot. I don't have a clear idea of what the requirements are but I'm glad my mom got it! That way, my family can be present at my wedding.

By the way, I enjoyed your travel blog.
