I hope so too. Matt will call them tom to find out. We are also thinking if this was because of the congressional expedite sent last Monday. It was confirmed in the NVC that the expedite was sent to the embassy already. Since St. Luke's posted my name in the embassy that I'm not yet cleared from them, maybe the embassy called them about it. I had a clear x-ray, there was just tiny blurry, there were no scars. We called the congress and thought that maybe because of the expedite letter. We'll see when Matt calls tom. I was just told that my medical has the result already and I'm good to return on the 30th, that's my 4th week.

Scar just means dead lung tissue, blurry could be Active TB. Clear x-ray , just tiny blurry? So which is it? Clear or tiny blurry? Are you trying to make an oxymoron?

You have to wait 2 months coz they need to culture the sputum so even you have your interview schedule they need to re schedule it again after your medical is ok...

What if sputum test is positive? My friend here said they will cancel your case until you undergo treatment . For tuberculosis treatment she said it takes 6 months then another sputum test and x-ray after treatment. That can really delay everything. Elmer did his medical today was his day 2 and he passed.

when you are on disability you dont claim taxes...

I am not sure but is that considered to be means-tested income? I believe disability income is considered means-tested income which can not be used to satisfy the income requirement. I asked someone here on the base headquarters and thats what they told me. Sorry, hope that info will help you. Can you find a co-sponsor to help her qualify? Oh my friend said its considered means tested public benefits. Maybe thats why they no accept it?

hi everyone i have a question, can someone please help....my wife is on disability due to an illness but she does make enough to sponsor our family...2 and me make 3...she makes 23,580.00 yearly and the poverty guidline is 22,887.00...she sent out the affidavit of support and then they asked for more info and she sent it to them and now they say it wont work because she does not claim taxes...if she makes enough for our family to sponsor me why would they do this...it never said on the application that if you are disabled you can not sponsor your wife or husband...does anyone know about this matter, and what should we do.

What do you mean she don't claim taxes? Are you trying to say her income can't be varified thru IRS records/Tax returns?

Does NVC set the appointment date or do you need to make it yourself? How do you know when you can make it or when its already made?

From what I read in a post a few days ago, there are no available slots for March interview.

Okay thank you Angeli, but I just found out some info others might be able to use. I spoke to someone at the Embassy and they told me once you have an appointment that you can call the customer service and request or inquire if there are any earlier appointments available. He said people cancel or reschedule or fail medical exams, then their appointments become vacant spots . So for example if you have an appointment for March 25 and you call them and someone who had an appointment for March 15 no longer has that appointment, then you can reschedule your appointment. I think that is great news !!!

Sad to hear that but dont get upset coz since ur AOS & Packet IV already in PROCESS does not mean you'll get you case complete its a NO cos this will take a month or more depend if they will request for RFE more or less will extend the process to your case to be complete,the 2 months you are going to wait for the result of your sputum test is just not too far for your case to complete good thing is just you made an advance medical so the waiting time is just the same of your processing time for your case to be complete...making advance medical was a good move u made. Don't worry everything will be OK....

Note:

My petition was approved last Dec 27,2010 . Being transferred to NVC Jan 4,2011 request RFE Feb 1,2011 CASE COMPLETE Feb 23...YOU don't have to worry that much. Good luck to your NVC Process. Scroll back all the inputs here in this room there is a lot of tips , do's & dont advice from our VJ's member that they encountered on their process and that will help you filling the forms to avoid mistake and delayed in your process. Good luck & just be patient.

Feb 23 - First Day of Medical.

Feb 24 - Second day but ( I'm for sputum next week.

This is really tough!!!

I don't know how to start. But yes, the scariest thing I heard has come on the day 2 of my medical exam. I got stuck on the x-ray result They said, I need to undergo sputum test that will delay me for TWO MONTHS!!! I can't help but cry in front of them. There were a lot of us actually. Only few passed and more got stuck ( I can't understand why they have to do it. It's really heartbreaking but God allowed this to happen. In time, in God's time, everything will be set in place.

On the other hand, Feb 24, IV fee invoiced and paid it. It is IN PROCESS now.

Oh so if you test positive for Tuberculosis you dont pass the medical exam. I think my husband had the vaccine for that many years ago, Thank God.

Excited? Lol ...anyway let them know that you are going to take an advance medical and tell what category ur application is what is important is that you already have the NVC Case No., you can have ur medical exam done for 3-4 hrs. better to go early like 5am they start around 6am. Good luck

My husband is doing his medical this week. They charge around 10,000p for that?

Well, at least I know the NVC has received my AOS package. I received the return receipt today. Signed for on 02/22.

Hi Dan Tes, I see we are both in the same boat timeline wise hahaha. My Husband is in Manila. We are hoping to get case completed at NVC asap.

I called NVC and pressed the "speak with agent" option then after I spoke with them they gave me our IIN number.

Anyone know what the Interview scheduling looks like in Manila now? Are there still March dates available? Thanks.
