My fiance also lives in Cebu, but the medical and interview was a few weeks apart. If you can afford better to space them apart the embassy emcourages at least 1 week between. The flight cost about 3800.00 pesos so not to horrible, good luck guys.

Thanx to all - whats interesting now after recieving our NOA2 letter its been 12 days since approved & the NVC still does not have any manila case # yet?? amazingingly slow ! Calif office must have sent that paperwork to manila on a carrier piegon with a broke wing paddling a row boat with his feet!! typical government operation as usual.

the "eligibility letter" that OP means is what we've known as the "packet 3" or the "instruction letter"... because on the letter, it says "You are now eligible to be scheduled for the visa interview" and we can actually get this letter on USEM's website http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/19452/public/Revised%20K1%20Instruction_rtf2_rtf2_001.pdf

Some applicants took their medical exam a week or a month or months before their interview.. though the embassy states to have the medical exam at least a week before the interview.. i think it's probably to give St. Lukes enough time to forward the medical results to USEM. so that's why they recommended to have the medical atleast a week before the interview.as well as atleast the medical results are latest..though Medical exam is valid for 6 months..

We are also waiting for our case number. it has been 7 business days now since we got approved.
