Philippines class

[Matt&Jen 29]

Hello, not sure where to place this thread. 

I am furious right now with the Philippines visa class.  

Her interview was May 9, I was there, approved...

She received her visa packet today (their Wednesday). I just flew home to the US Tuesday.  

Now the class that she is required to take has no available slots until July!!!

 

Needless to say I am absolutely furious. 

There is nothing we can do to change this either!!!  

We have waited and waited, and now this #######!!

 

Anyone having similar issues?  

 

No question here really, just needing to vent my continued frustration with this process.

Just wanted to add that at first I believed this class was a good thing for transitioning, but now I see it as a huge waste of time.  It actually causes those of us who have been waiting for months unneeded stress. 

They actually require documents that the US has already approved.  So what if 'they' decide to deny her?  What happens then?  

Just another form of corrupt government to abuse people. 

Just my thought. 

I really never want to vacation there again.  Find another country to spend money at...

Still very angry, can you tell?  Have to wait two more months!!

****  Moving from CHEST to Philipines regional forum as country specific topic and CHEST is more for political rants and discussions ****

Why did you wait so long?  She had months to do this

[Matt&Jen 29]

Did not know she could do it before being approved by the US embassy.  

Plus, she is five hours away by bus, it isn't easy for her getting to Manila. 

Besides, Us embassy already approved all our documents, just seems a waste of time for them to review them as well.

Does your fiancé live near Clark Airport?

[Matt&Jen 29]

She is closer, yes.  I actually found an old thread with info on how she can reschedule.  

She will try it. 

It's really my fault, she had the email sent to me, I thought she wanted me to confirm...so frustrated.  

Sorry for venting so much

[Matt&Jen 29]

This is what confuses us.  This is why we believed we needed to wait until after the embassy interview...

Nope a lot of people get it done before hand and then just go back when they get the visa to get the stamp.

GCP is required and can be done at anytime at any CFO office.  My wife did hers last year and we aren't even scheduled for an interview yet.  Relax, you are almost done.

GCP not PDOS

 

Cebu usually is not so busy, for $100RT if your willing to do that

My fiancé just went to the website and said they have a ton of availability for the seminar. I saw your post and freaked out, so now she is registering for the seminar just in case. She said they have May and June dates available in Manila.

I think the OP was looking at the wrong seminar.  There are May and June openings for GCP (which is what she needs).  He was looking at PDOS.
