I know how to explain Mr. Boat but, it would be a TOS violation.
I could add more.

This might be a good start..?

Honey, shouldn't you be advising "Mr. Boat" to wake up and stop his delusional spin?
Mr. Boat is so full of himself but I think he might benefit from a vocabulary lesson.

You technically do not have to file all of them. The only ones you have to are the I-485 (which includes the I-864 Affidavit of Support and the G-325A biographic form). The fees for this will be $1070. That's $985 fee, plus $85 for biometrics. Biometrics is an appointment the non-USC will have to attend to have fingerprints and photos taken.
The I-765 and I-131 are EAD (ability to work) and AP (ability to travel). These are FREE if you file at the same time as AOS, so that's why it's recommended here at VJ to do it all at the same time.

Hello all! I want to share this walkthrough I made regarding the medical exam I just took at St. Lukes. I hope this will help anybody in anyway.
I thought of creating this during my 2-day medical appointment, taking notes every step of the way and sketching floor plans in between waiting time. I know that there had been a few written about one’s medical experience at SLMCEC and as much as it helped me prepare and be aware of the whole scenario, I wanted to share something more comprehensive.
But please be reminded that everything here is based on my own experience and someone else’s procedures may vary. All went well on my medical so I assume this is within the typical flow of the whole process.
Ok, to start with:
The Fees:
US$213.35 for 15 y.o. and older
US$185.35 for 14 y.o. and below

The 1st Day
:: Arriving at St. Lukes ::

W/ appointment letter:
I handed over my appointment letter but then the security guard told me to have the 1st two pages photocopied, so I did (just right across the street) and then went back to hand him both the original and the duplicate, he stamped it both with “SLMCEC---something” .. and handed me a queue number. I arrived at 4:45am and got no. 32.
He gave me a form - the Patient Data Sheet (PDS) and the guard will check specific boxes you should fill in. Upon filling out your PDS, you’ll see an ‘Alien Case No.’ – that would be you MNL Case no.
He also handed me an Evaluation sheet to be returned upon release of your medical result – well, it’s just a Rate-Our-Clinic thing, with Excellent-Good-Poor check boxes
and questions on how to improve their service blah-blah.
Without appointment letter – well I guess, it’ll be the same as above as long as you have your NOA2 letter and NVC letter with MNL Case no.
- After you completed filling out your PDS, there’s really nothing more to do but sit down and wait for your number to be called.
- When the guard started to call in the numbers, he called batch by batch, 10 nos. in a batch.
- He guided us to fall in line in front of ‘Digital Photo Room’ to have our --- well, digital photo taken
- Have your PDS, Passport and photos ready. I handed those to the guy who takes the photos, everything was returned to me shortly after that.
- I went straight ahead in front of the releasing counters and fell in line.
- When it’s my turn, the screener asked me a few questions about my medical history … basically, you just have to answer everything he/she asks.. She stapled two(2) 2x2 photos on the PDS and inserted the other two(2) on a resealable plastic and stapled it once again on the lower part of the PDS.
- After it, the screener told me to pay the medical fees at the cashier located at the 5th floor.
- I then took the elevators to 5th floor and found the cashier at the corner, right beside the elevator. Paid the fees and told me to go to 4th floor.
:: 4th Floor ::

- I gave my PDS, Receipt, Passport and the photocopied appointment letter (keep the original, I believe that will be the one you’ll show at the interview) to the nurse at the reception. She gave me an “HIV Consent form” to fill out – I returned it to her afterwards and she then told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called.
- When my name was called, the nurse asked me of the last day of my last period (always remember your 1st and last day of period, they will keep on asking it till you bleed again … kidding)
- After she jotted down some notes on my papers, she gave it back to me and pointed me to go at the blood extraction room.
- Before the nurse started to collect blood sample from my arm, she asked me my name, my age and again, my first and last day of period… This procedure is to assess you of any drug use and of course, HIV.
- After the blood extraction, the nurse told me to go straight to the urine collection area, just right across the other side of the reception, a nurse is assigned there at the ladies C.R. – she’ll give you a plastic container to put your urine sample in. Hand it back to her when you’re done. This procedure is for pregnancy test and probably for other kidney-related illnesses. She told me to sit back down and wait for my name to be called.
- My name was called and they gave me back my papers and passport and told me to proceed to 3rd floor for the X-Ray.
:: 3rd Floor ::

- I gave my set of papers to the nurse at the reception. If you have previous x-rays, be sure to bring the film (if it’s still available) so they can compare (and God knows if that would actually help alter their decision against their own x-ray results at any rate ~_~)
- Anyhoo, since I don’t have an x-ray film with me, they simply gave me a paper to fill out, stating the reason why I don’t have one – I checked the box that reads “No X-ray has ever been taken”. Gave it back to them.
- Somewhere on my PDS, they made me write my first day of my last menstrual period.
- Told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called (well, isn’t it always?)
- So my name is called and another nurse wrote down additional notes on my papers before he allowed me to enter the X-ray room. He returned to me my set of papers.
- Inside the X-ray room (a little room before the actual X-ray room) is a little area with some chairs so we can sit as we wait for our turn. Another small area is a changing room with hospital gowns provided where we should disrobe our upper garments (bra and shirt) .. any necklace should be removed as well. I sat down and waited for my name to be called.
- Upon calling my name, I then gave my set of papers to the nurse inside…. and it’s X-ray time! (I’ve been very anxious about this part ever since coz this is where they would find out if you have something strange in your lungs – hence, they’ll have you undergo the dreadful Sputum test) .. the nurse inside would assist you on how to properly execute the X-ray procedure.
- After I finished the X-ray, the nurse gave me back my papers and told me to proceed to 5th floor.
:: 5th Floor ::

- I walked towards the U.S. counter and handed over my set of papers to the personnel assigned there .. he wrote something on my papers and then a different nurse picked up my papers, he assisted me to follow him to have my body weight and height measured.
- Right after the nurse wrote down the weight record on my PDS, another nurse told me to proceed to the ‘Visual Exam Room’.
- Inside the Visual Exam Room, the nurse conducted a visual activity test where you would have to read a Snellen Chart opposite a mirror. (more like a ‘give me a headache’ test) The nurse will ask if you're using contact lens or eye glasses prior to the exam.
- After the eye test, he told me to go sit and wait for my name to be called. (I’m starting to have the feeling of omitting all these sit-and-wait-for-my-name-to-be-called in this entire entry)
- The next thing done is they measured my Vital Signs - Blood Pressure and pulse rate.
- I handed over to the U.S. Counter my set of PDS after completing the Vital Signs procedure.
- Guess what happens here ………………… Correct!! Sit down and wait for my name to be called.
- My name is called, went to the U.S. counter and they handed me a number. That would be my number for the physical exam.
- It’s been the most agonizing 15 minutes of my whole medical process … waiting while thinking of getting all naked – NOT in front of your fiancé/husband … LOL!
- My turn for the physical exam .. the doctor/physician will ask you all sorts of questions starting from your name to all your past operations/hospitalizations to inhaling mosquito coils to having contact with an alien from the outer space positive with HIV……
- After all the seemingly non-stop questioning, the doctor ordered me to sign papers (kinda like a contract) attesting that I am telling nothing but the truth. She made me sign twice – one for saying that I gave birth 2 times, and the other one for stating that I’ve never had TB nor had contact with people who are infected of Tuberculosis.
- Then she made me disrobe completely, but thank goodness, I still had to wear a hospital gown – at least. I laid down on the bed and she checks certain parts of my body. Doctors will specifically check slash marks for suicidal attempts, needle marks for drug use, tattoos for positive contamination from use of needles…
…. and then the private parts … She’ll make you spread your legs (or make you lie on your left side and bend your knees towards your chest). The physician checked the ####### and the ####### .. I believe they check it for possible signs of Sexually Transmitted Diseases or any abnormalities whatsoever. Don’t worry, if you’re a female, you’ll also have a female physician that will attend to you.
- She told me to go straight to U.S. Counter. I handed my PDS and they attached a slip where it reads, “You must personally claim your results....dah dah dah” in 3 different languages .. what the! … The nurse handed back my papers shortly right after that and told me to go to 2nd floor for immunization interview.
:: 2nd Floor ::

- I gave my set of PDS to the guy on the reception right in front of the Immunization rooms.
- loooooooong wait here ..
- Called for Immunization interview (doctors area). The physician simply asked me a few questions like previous vaccines (don’t worry if you don’t have a record or can’t remember any, just tell the physician about it), sexual contact, pregnancies, if you’ve had chicken pox before, if it left any visible scars, etc … She told me of the available vaccines that I would take if all goes well with my medical results.
- It’s a wrap! The day is done! … and the last thing to do is to check out on the 2nd floor check out counter. There they will tell you to return the next day for the results. They will tell you what time. The only things left in your hands now would be your passport, the receipt, the evaluation letter and your original appointment letter/NOA2/NVC letter.
- Robinson’s place is not far from SLMCEC .. You’ll be as hungry as **** so I suggest you go there and treat yourself
The 2nd Day
- Upon arriving at SLMCEC, the guard pointed me to another guard inside, standing behind some kind of podium, I handed him my receipt and he entered the control no. on a computer database, so this guy sort of has the ‘master’s list’ for all results of med exams.
--------------------------------
There are two things I know by far regarding the results:
If the guard stamped your receipt with “IMMUNIZATION” – then congratulations! You passed the medical exam and if you have anything scheduled after that, like for example - your visa interview in two days (like me), then there should be no worries.
If the guard stamped your receipt with “SPUTUM --- something” then unfortunately, you have to have a Sputum Collection and a 2-month long delay.
--------------------------------
…….. Okay, so I have mine stamped with “Immunization” and this made me proceed to 2nd floor for my vaccines.
- I gave my receipt to the guy at the reception (just the receipt, keep your passport) … and like always, I sat down and waited for my name to be called.
- ZZZZzzzzzzZzZzzz
- The intercom may sound vague most of the times, so you must listen attentively all the time.
- My name was called and they made us fall in line in front of the check out counter on the same floor (2nd floor). The guy behind the counter collected our passports.
- Go back to sleep. I mean, get back to your seat.
- My name is called and it’s time for my immunization. The attending nurse first asked me some few questions about allergies I might have, date of first and last day of my last menstrual period, my name, age and birth. Vaccines may vary for every applicant, I had 4 shots, 2 on each arm (TDAP, MMR, Anti-Cervical and HPV).
- *phew* .. thanks goodness, everything’s done … I was told to wait at the ground floor for the results.
:: GROUND FLOOR ::
- Zzz
- Waited like 3 hours
- My name is finally called but it’s not for the result yet … I went to window 1, the personnel made me sign my PDS and then I surrendered my passport .. told to me waaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiit until I die … kidding … waited for another 2 hours or so.
- RESULTS!! Oh the Wonderful Result!! … I was called to window 6 with a female staff – she asked a lot of questions like a pre-screener at the interview, she seems to ask a lot about what you’ve written on your PDS and a few from the physician comments written on it .. she’s kind of like verifying.
- She finally handed down a CD containing the X-ray details and a Vaccine sheet (these 2 are the only things they'll give you). She also told me that they would be the one to forward the results of my Medical Exam to the U.S. Embassy. They would keep everything including your passport.
- I went out. Took a pedicab to Taft Avenue and bought myself a Baconator for all my day’s worth.

I find quite often that people say "you should educate yourself" when they want to appear smarter than they really are. I'm not emoting.... I read the facts of the case, listened to audio of 911 calls, and evaluated evidence presented and base my opinion on this. And that's all it is - an opinion. A jury will decide based on what they are presented with. In the end, the verdict will in fact be their opinion. And I'm sure they'll have plenty more to evaluate than anyone of us has heard or read thus far.

I don't even look at this from a race standpoint. I look at it as a case of right and wrong. And Zimmerman was wrong for what he did. Whether it's white on white, white on black, purple on green, whatever. It doesn't matter. And frankly, I don't care if you carry a gun or anyone else. As long as you're responsible and don't think you're freakin Clint Eastwood just because you carry one. The 2nd Amendment is fine with me, guns should be for defense by RESPONSIBLE gun owners. I simply don't believe Zimmerman was responsible by taking the law into his own hands.
Anyway, I'm whiter than you are, so don't give me that Al Sharpton #######.

The following forms may come in handy:
Sworn statement that advice of parents or guardian has been asked. (for those who are 21-24 years old)
Consent to marriage of a person under age. (for those who are 18-20 years old)
Marriage applicants who are age 18 to 21 must have parental consent in writing, those age 21 to 25 must have written parental advice (a written indication that the parents are aware of the couple's intent to marry). The revised Family Code of the Philippines, which took effect on August 4, 1988, prohibits marriage for individuals below the age of 18.
U.S. Department of State link.
The quote above is from the section where they are talking about getting married in the Philippines. However, the CFO has been known to require parental advice or parental consent from K-1ers.
It's all on the Consular's discretion whether they require consent from a parent or guardian.

Members living on the same street or within line of sight, generally 5 – 25
homes per group.
Neighborhood Watch is not:
A citizens armed patrol.
A Vigilante group.
A law enforcement entity.
Reporting Suspicious Activity
Neighborhood Watch is founded on the principle that your group members know what activity is normal in your neighborhood. A police officer will not be able to identify a strange person or car as quickly as a resident.
Suspicious Persons
Do not open your door to strangers. Obviously, not every stranger who comes into your neighborhood is a criminal. However, criminals occasionally disguise themselves as door-to-door sales or repair workers. If you any question regarding the legitimacy of a salesperson at your door, call the Police. Look for the following red flags:
Salespersons or workers who go to the rear of a residence.
Unknown vehicles on your street that may be watching homes to determine when the owners are usually away.
Unknown individuals seemingly watching the home a senior citizen.
Individuals loitering in front of an unoccupied house or closed business.
Individuals peering into cars, especially in parking lots or on street.
Anyone looking into windows of a residence.
Anyone forcing entrance into a house or vehicle or the sound of breaking glass.
Anyone at your door without a reasonable explanation.
Heavy traffic to and from a residence, particularly if it occurs on a daily basis, which may be indicative of drug dealing.
Loitering around schools, parks or secluded areas or where children may congregate or a stranger offering a child any type of gift.
Loitering or driving through a neighborhood several times or appearing as delivery person with a wrong address.
Individuals in cars that are following the UPS delivery person in order to take the packages.
This is just a little bit of the neighborhood watch procedures, policies, conduct, reporting, communication etc.. rules
Let's see Travon was on his cellphone with a bag of settles, can of Ice Tea. Going to his family's house. Oh I forgot he wearing a Hoodie and he is black. Criminal!! Serious people wake up. Zimmerman did the first part correct reporting a suspicious person in the community to the police. The instant he disobey the 911 operators orders not to get out of his car, he put himself in harms way and took the law into his on hands.

The following forms may come in handy:
Sworn statement that advice of parents or guardian has been asked. (for those who are 21-24 years old)
Consent to marriage of a person under age. (for those who are 18-20 years old)
Marriage applicants who are age 18 to 21 must have parental consent in writing, those age 21 to 25 must have written parental advice (a written indication that the parents are aware of the couple's intent to marry). The revised Family Code of the Philippines, which took effect on August 4, 1988, prohibits marriage for individuals below the age of 18.
U.S. Department of State link.
The quote above is from the section where they are talking about getting married in the Philippines. However, the CFO has been known to require parental advice or parental consent from K-1ers.
It's all on the Consular's discretion whether they require consent from a parent or guardian.

Good Luck and God bless!!!

Your frequent trips and now wanting authorization to possibly stay longer is the issue. Every person applying for a visa is assumed to have immigrant intent. (That is how USCIS approaches all applicants). Your frequent trips along with a career that would easily allow you to stay and work out of status is what did you in. You don't seem to have strong ties to your home country based on your US travel record.
Given the realities of the economy, the US workforce does not need greater numbers. Given the political realities, extra scrutiny is the norm.
Also, your prior post about wanting to come and work any way possible makes your "vacation ruined" story tough to take seriously.
You're likely going to have to wait a year or so and then apply for a visitor visa.

Please note you will not get anything from the US Embassy in the Philippines. Follow the guide and on the usembassy link there is interview immigrant preparations instructions, make sure to follow the English version. There is a tagalog version as well. However, if there is a difference, the English version is followed.
From the day you get the MNL number, NVC will send about 2 days later to Embassy. Allow 1 week for transfer to Embassy. then 1 week for processing at Embassy. You can schedule Embassy interview online anytime now. Scheduling online works best and you can choose the date which works well.
Please note visa is based on St. Luke's MEDICAL date not on Embassy interview date.
Complete St. luke's medical BEFORE the interview date. (you can do a couple of days prior, but a week is recommended.) St. Luke's will cancel the embassy interview, if there are issues at St. Luke's.
You will have to do these forms for Embassy interview:
1) proof of payment
2) valid passport
3) Original NBI (both top and bottom portion)
4) Original Cenomar - proof of singleness
5) DS-156 -- 2 copies
6) DS-157 -- 2 copies
7) DS-157k - 1 copy
8) birth certificate (original on securty paper)
9) other police clearances from other countries if resided in the country for more then 6 months after age of 16
10) military records (if any)
11) proof of valid engagement (what you submitted to USCIS plus photos)
12) any divorce decrees, death certificates,
13) I-134 - 1 copy, signed by petitioner
14) tax forms for last 3 years supporting I-134
15) payroll stubs supporting I-134
16) letter from employer supporting I-134
17) visa photographs (2x2, please note Philippine passport standard is different). 3 copies. (I suggest having 12 so you also have for AOS and St.Luke's as well.)
(14 through 17, make copies to hold onto, you will reuse these for AOS)
You can read my review of the embassy interview process as well as others on the Embassy. Help prepare your fiance for the interview process, it is not something she will be used to.
Best of luck on the process. This part will go quickly.

And that should a be all we have to say about that to quote Mr. Gump... Well done

@Princess Rena,
Confirming and emphasizing portion of "Wally G!"'s response to you: one of the pre-requisites to submitting I-129f is that you and your fiance have met each other in person, within the two years immediately preceding filing the I-129f petition [with extremely rare exceptions]. Is that the case? Have you met each other personally/in person within this time frame? [bTW, Wally G! is correct on the other points also.] Additonal posters' advice to keep response about meeting in person short and simple is wise. Most persons seem to be able to utilize the space provided on I-129F form to describe the in person meeting(s). Please let us know if we can help you more about this or with anything during you and your fiance's own Visa Journey. Wishing you and your fiance the best!!! --RK and Inday

I'm not sure what you are upset about.. In your case she was totally up front about her intentions from the start.. You are as guilty as she is as far as the visa fraud so you have no room to be a baby about it.You are not a victim.

Not sure how you read that post and managed to comprehend I could maybe not like it here anymore. My post was in defense of America and not a complaint about America.
"Your frustration with democratic process is astonishing." Living in America is a privilege for many and a choice for many others. The Constitution guarantees a Republican form of govt, not European style socialism. So those that aren't happy with the lack of socialism here, should indeed find a country that offers the level of socialism suitable to their liking. Would you go to your neighbors house and complain about how the furniture is arranged?
PS. I did not seek to point out any misspelled words -- I too misspell words, 'narrow thinkers' was the important point.

You're really over thinking this -- you have the MNL # and the appointment is set. But if you want to reschedule based on what is convenient for you, then do so, but there is no need to worry if Manila will have the case by the interview date -- they will have it.

@beckyo he can have his CFO seminar here in manila and i suggest to go to PRISM coz theyre not that strict there,,i know CFO was not mentioned but it is a requirement of PH government..i was with this girl yesterday and she suppose to leave sunday but the immigration hold her and did not let her in... he can have his cfo and if he doesnt have his visa yet he can inform the officer in CFO that he will just get his sticker at the airport..cfo cost 650 in total..250 for counseling and 400 for the sticker,if he decided to go to prism he will undergo counseling first and get the sticker in different location which is the CFO office..PM me if you have questions ill be glad to help you

You realize that having B2 visa in the passport doesn't guarantee admission to the US at POE?
B2s are most often admitted for 6 months, but admission itself and length of allowed stay are at the sole discretion of the CBP Officer.
Your MIL declared purpose of the trip and anticipated length of stay when she applied for visa in Manila and she will be asked at POE how long she intends to stay in the US.
If the CBP suspects that the visa will be used for different purpose that it was issued, they may deny admission altogether.
Not having return ticket may be perceived as not intending to return. Not a good idea, IMO.
