Medical exam...

[Sherlyn 9]

I just read some article regarding the k1 visa..they said that they need the physical file for the case in order to have the medical exam, what if i dont have the physical file for my case, but I already know my case number... can i still have my medical exam? What should I bring then for my medical exam?

Don't worry about the physical file, my wife NEVER called the embassy to check on that. Once she had the MNL # she paid her visa fee, then we scheduled the interview and after that the medical at St. Luke's. By the interview time the file will be at the embassy, they already have an electronic copy if you have your MNL #.

Manila Embassy:

After NOA2 AND YOU HAVE YOUR MNL # (don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy )

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3023.html

Once you have your MNL # :

You can pay your nonimmigrant visa application fee with cash or debit card at any Bank of Philippine Islands. Before going to the bank, you must print the applicable U.S. visa application deposit slip available below on this page. Take the printed deposit slip with you to pay your fee. If you print a deposit slip in advance of the day in which you plan to make your payment, please take note of the expiration date on the deposit slip. If the expiration date passes prior to using the slip to make your payment, simply return to this site and re-click the appropriate link below to generate a new deposit slip. Bank agents will NOT accept payments based on expired deposit slips. Upon receiving of your payment, bank will issue you a receipt. Save your receipt. It cannot be replaced if it is lost. You will not be able to schedule an appointment without your receipt number.

Select the deposit slip that matches your visa application fee from the list below. Values are shown in U.S. dollars and native currency. This page has more information about the different visa application fees.

http://ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-visafeeinfo.asp

For K-1 the fee is $240

After you have paid the visa application fee, keep the BANK receipt for your records. It cannot be replaced if it is lost. You will not be able to schedule an appointment without your receipt number.

If you have an account with either Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI) or BancNet you may choose to pay your visa application fee online using their online bill pay services. Click on either of the links below if you are a BPI or BancNet customer and wish to make an online payment.

If you are paying for more than one applicant, please DO NOT make a lump sum payment for all the applicants. A UID/receipt number is required for each visa application fee payment for EACH applicant for scheduling an appointment. After you have paid the visa application fee, please keep the fee receipt for your records.

Receipt Format

Note: If you have a Bank of Philippine Islands receipt, your fee receipt number should be your passport number. If something other than your passport number appears in the circled area on the graphic, use that information as your receipt number. This receipt number verifies your payment and allows you to schedule your visa interview

When scheduling online with the embassy you need to include the "XX" at the beginning.

Priorty Date; this is the date the NOA 1 was accepted.

Make sure to print two copies of the interview confirmation page as you will need one for St. Luke's and the other (maybe, they might mail the interview letter) for the embassy.

I just read some article regarding the k1 visa..they said that they need the physical file for the case in order to have the medical exam, what if i dont have the physical file for my case, but I already know my case number... can i still have my medical exam? What should I bring then for my medical exam?

Nope. As long as you have your MNL number, you can have your medical exam but make sure you pay the visa and schedule your embassy appointment first. You need to show them the appointment letter you have once you made your appointment online or by phone (easier if online). Thats what my fiance did. He just had his medical last Sept 4. He never got any letter from embassy.

Here's what you need to bring during medical:

1. Passport orig and copy

2. Orig St. Lukes Appointment Letter and 2 copies

3. 4 cps 2x2 passport photos with white background

4. NVC letter copy

5. I-797 Copy

6. Copy of appointment letter at Embassy
