Hi Guys,

My wifes, interview is on november 11, and we are excited. We got mail on what documents to bring and what time the appointment is. We have an idea of what to bring and what to expect, but it would be nice if you can give share your experiences with the interview.

Another thing is, in the USEM Manila website i see this instruction,

IMPORTANT:
You must call the U.S. Embassy in Manila’s Visa Information and Appointment Service at (632) 982-5555 or (632) 902-8930 or visit this website:http://www.ustraveldocs.com/phto register your designated delivery address.

it then redirects me to this site, http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com/ph/, is this legit? Is this a step i have to take?

Last question is that do I have to pay anything in the US embassy?

The website is legit, that is where you will setup your delivery info just like was stated. There are NO fees at the embassy.

Did you get the instructions letter from USEM or was it NVC? I ask because USEM does request certain documents, one of them being the NSO CEMAR.

We got the instruction letter from NVC. Is CEMAR a marriage certifcate (similiar to the one i submitted to NVC and USCIS a while back)? Trying not to confuse it with CENOMAR.

Thanks man.

Yes, the CEMAR (Certificate of Marriage) from NSO. Go over the Instructions letter I linked, that is for immigrant visa (IR/CR -1 ).
