The guard gave me the no. 81 online i just waited my no. and then the staff call 10 person to line in the window L online there's lot of windows, then it's my turn the girl on the window told me to face the camera then take shot and also put my index finger to scanner. She asked my 3 2x2 photos, she let me sign some paper and then she ask me to fill up a DS-156k and i told her that i bring some copy then she told me that it's different form from the USEm but when i see the form it's almost the same i just smile smile, she ask me some of my info and my fiance info and I forget the other, then she give me a receipt she told me to go at the 5 floor to pay, I pay PhP 9,387.50 then the cashier told me to gave the receipt and the small form it was attached to each other,i gave it to the US counter,then the guard told me to sit and wait for my name to be called i meet some friends in there, there's lots of visayan out there and i'm one of them, hehe!! ^0^ , here we go, I waited like 6 mins then my name was called and it's my time to go in the vital sign table area the nurse asked what is my name for the confirmation and he let me sit then he checked my blood pressure and i was surprise it's because it's 120/80 i'm anemic!! :) hahahyy.. and then he also checked my hearts beat and then he told me are you nervous then i said yes !caused my hear beat so fast, then he let me sit again to the waiting area and the told me to wait again my name to be called. while waiting I talked to my new friends out there and i also meet a member in VJ and we are surprise!!!!

congratulations!!

is it true that u are not allowed to bring in anybody during the medical? as in a relative cannot go with u? or is here any area in st. lukes where a friend or relative can wait for u?

hi!! Jacksonville i'm not sure but i think it's okay to bring some relatives inside cause as what i've observe i saw some of the relatives of the applicant was in there, just to assist them or to bring there bags for them but it's just base in my observation... I think it's fine.. :)
