US Immigration from Philippines

Finally!!! We have our Manila Embassy Interviews scheduled. My questions now are basic, just want to Triple Check the process. We signed up to have my wife s and 2 stepchildren s Visas delivered to our home here in metroManila. While the delivery address is confirmed on our Interview Conformation Email from the Embassy we haven t paid for the delivery service yet unless it was already included in other fees we paid. How does this payment get made? Additionally, I thought I read there was another charge of $220 each for the Visa s. If that s correct how, where do I pay that fee?

many thanks, Marc

Hi Folks,

Another question for those of you who have recently been through the interview process in the Manila embassy...especially those of you who may be in the provinces of the other islands. How long after your interview approval did it take before you had your VISA in hand? Did you pay for the premium delivery option? My fianc is from the provinces near the Toledo City area outside of Cebu. She has her interview on a Thursday in Manila and we are trying to get an idea of when she may be able to receive her VISA so that we can plan our next steps accordingly.

Thanks!

Hi Folks,

Not sure where this question should be posted but there seems to be a severe lack of entries on the review of the George Bush Intercontinental Airport reviews. Can some of those who have been through that POE recently post some of their reviews for those who are soon to be experiencing it?

Thanks!

My soon-to-be-wife just arrived not too long ago in California and we're looking to get married soon. The LA county clerk's office is booked for at least a few weeks on the marriage license applications/ceremonies and it appears we will not get the wedding date we want if we go with them. I found a few local services that can help us get hitched conveniently at any time but they only issue confidential licenses. Are there any disadvantages with going with a confidential license as opposed to a public one? I've been looking around and getting mixed messages between "it's not a good idea for AOS" and "it doesn't really matter as long as you're legally married". What's the scoop? Does anyone have any personal experiences with this?

Hi Everyone,

Been here awhile but just stumbled upon this forum. My fianc & I been together since June of 2020 and are now a few weeks away from her K1 Fiance VISA interview at the Manila embassy (May 4^th). If everything falls into place, we hope to have her travel to the US (Texas) the following Friday (May 12^th) if not shortly thereafter. We are making plans for our wedding in Hawai i so that my parents & the rest of my family can take part in it

Take care & good luck everyone!
