Large crowd at St. Lukes

[Tsup2 0]

My Fiance sent a text saying that she estimates a thousand people showed up for medical today at St. Lukes. I thought she was joking until she said she got their early and her number is in the 570's.

I went to St. Lukes for my early medical last friday. October 26, 2:00 in the afternoon. I went out at exactly 4:00. It took me two hours to finish my med.

It is advisable to go to St. Lukes in the afternoon.

That's unusual. I've never heard of that happening before. I presume that everyone is trying to make it to the States before the holidays...

Smart girl! Everyone I've seen go in the afternoon has had a fast medical compared to the morning crowd.

i took my medical Oct. 22nd, got to st. lukes at 5:30 am and my no. was already 47, my original plan was to take an early med today and tomorrow, but i rescheduled it after i heard that the president declared Oct 31st - Nov 2nd as holidays, i dunno about Nov. 3, i kinda heard its an announced holiday too, ... i think people were just trying to make it to their medical before the long holiday starts

When I took mine last April I was there early morning and got done 9:30 PM, I was so frustrated and 2nd day was hard too, even though I was just waiting for the results and vaccination. Too many people slows it down. Im glad its over.

Yes thats true. The best time was at the afternoon. My hubby came at 12:30 at SLEC and out by 4PM.

as for me back then, its true during mid day, slec will be fully pack, so i went there so early (2nd in line around 4am lol) get it all done before noon and was being told to go back around 3pm that day (didnt tell me whats goin on so that got me so scared) when i got back i was surprised it was for the vaccination and release of x-ray film so i made it in one day lol... waking up at 2am pays off for me (not that i can sleep anyways) lol... good luck guyz!

Short weekday due to holiday... All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day... big deal for us Filipinos because that's the time for us to remember our departed loved ones. I guess most applicants tried to get the medical done and over with before the holiday.

That's unusual. I've never heard of that happening before. I presume that everyone is trying to make it to the States before the holidays...

I presume it's because many American guys fell in love to Pinays this time of the year and applied visas for them

Cheers to Pinay's beauty!

Yes its true. I was there also (Oct. 30) maybe me and ur fiancee saw each other but didn't know each other personally. LOL The queue number from the guard reached 500+. I went there 4:30 AM and guess what my number is? 67 lol I am done by 11 AM. And everything went smoothly same as the 2nd day.

That's the reason I guess sis Rina. Some of the them are running out of time coz of their interview dates like Nov. 5, 6, 7 and so on. They were shocked when I told them that I will have my interview on the 21st. It's better to be early than sorry. LOL

How many days in advance before the interview would you advise us to go?

I was told atleast 2-3 days. I would like to be there to go through the whole process with my wife from medical exam-interview.

Just wanted to see what you all think.

Thanks
