Hi Marchies, it's our interview tomorrow (phil time) please pray for us!

I'm with Godgavemeyou (starflyer's fiancée) and Nna. Its like we're having a bar exam tomorrow, reviewing all documents

it depends on which part of the country you're going. if you're going to the provinces/country side, not the city, only provincial towns where people knows everyone, then you can wear all the jewelry you like. no one would snatch it or rob you. everyone knows everyone.

people from where i'm from, wear their jewelry almost everywhere. i'm from the province.

but if you're in a Manila or even cities far from manila, just to be on the safe side, please keep your valuables, on a safe place.

All true!

@inhistime did u ever ride a jeep, tricycle or train in Manila? If yes, you're lucky that you still have your jewelries yeah, extra careful

Like said just show it to them through the glass, if they want any of the pictures or such be prepared to removed them.

:thumbs:

That's the reason why I didn't do scrapbook and I don't have "art" too.

@brandmaryforever what time is your interview? Mine is 6:30am

Nick+Elizabeth congrats! :dance: :dance: :dance:

and welcome back!

What do you mean normal? If you proposed then we have to wear the engagement ring, to let the people know "I'm engaged".

Some don't wear engagement rings because we have snatchers, robbers, muggers, thieves. There are lot of muggers esp in Manila

It depends with her paycheck and savings

Thanks Hank yep, better safe than 221g haha

Aww:( just read ur reply. I sched my appt tomorrow and paid 140 already. Haaayy thanks apple

Question....

My NBI clearance released last March 2012 and the validity is 1year, my interview is on the 24th. Do I have to get new clearance? Thanks!

Yes 2days is normal had my medical for 2days, 2nd day for immunization and results

Hello fellow marchies!

Good morning Marchies. I got the text this morning as I was walking in to work, then I rushed to log on to the USCIS site to check. Finally my petition is approved. Just like the sentiments of others, although this should be a very happy time to shout it from the mountain top, USCIS makes it a bit difficult because our fellow Marchies (and some February folks) are still waiting. I've bonded with many of you and I will not leave this thread until everyone on our active list is approved. I'm also interested to hear about everyone's next steps (issues, questions, comments, advice, etc) up to POE, so I'll be here beyond USCIS approval. So come on VSC!! More approvals!!

Oh wow!!!! Congratulations islandgal!!! I'm really happy for you

Online registration saves time!!

make sure to be there early as in early in the morning 3am so u can get the results in one day

-iluvmy-hubbybunny thanks for ur review sis, big help toh! mas okay pala pickup, un NA lang din gawin ko

Planning to attend CFO w/o a visa yet but I changed my mind, para isang punta NA lang.hehe

horrible

I went there around 4am, my number was 12 for online applicant.

For the convenience of those who come early, the guards may allow applicants to enter St. Luke's Medical Center Extension Clinic premises as early as 4:30 AM but the schedule of operation of each working area will be observed

---not true! exactly 5:00am when the guard started checking the documents of applicants and let us in.

6am - registration window K // the guy was masungit! Finger scanning was nice but when he took a picture he just said "look" and held the camera. He asked for NVC letter I told him I don't have it, we just called NVC to get the mnlcase# , he said I should bring it when I get back. So maybe this is the reason why I have 2days medical.

7am - payment

7:15 - vital signs

7:25 - eye test / height / weight

7:40 - X-ray ***the tech just gave my passport and didn't tell me where to go but I heard she said to other go to 5th floor

7:50 - 5th flr USA counter was told to take a break and go back at 8:30am. I went outside the building to eat, one of the applicant asked me if I'm done with blood and urine test. Yes, I missed that stage, it should be right after the X-ray test.lol

9:20 - physical exam room5 Dr.Mela 20mins // a loooootttt of questions haha ***they said that the doctor in room10 is very strict and "Mataray" lol

9:45 - laboratory / blood and urine sample

9:55 - immunization interview // *the doctor was kinda surprised bec there was a number "2" written on my paper she said "just ask the receptionist"

10 - heartbreaking part... Was told to go back tomorrow for the result // #2 stands for batch 2 or 2nd day

I'd rather stay the whole day to get it done but the decision is final... I'll be back tomorrow.

Congrats!!

I never be there

It will be the first time

same here first timer first out of the country too!

Praying to see some approvals today vsc!!

I just booked my flight from MNL-DFW, it's a risk because I don't have the visa yet I have to pay the ticket on or before oct24 and my interview is on the 24th too I was just checking the price, they gave me $1078 w/ travel tax.

anyone tried EMS? Fiancé lives next to EMS office and he will be sending me docs tomorrow, I told him to use dhl or FedEx.

Il have my medical tomorrow. Wish me luck haha

Lol. If that' is pig's blood we have it here as we'll.. It's actually blood stew with meat or pig's intestines, we call this dinuguan

So, i Got curious with the blood pudding.... what google showed me...

good morning/good evening/good afternoon fellas!

Can I suggest a topic for today? "Do you know how to feed your future spouse?"

- my answer is NO, yes I'm dead! honestly, idk how to cook or I should say I'm not good at it. So, whenever fiancé ask me how are we gonna eat I always tell him to cook for himself but of course it's a joke. Fiancé is a sucker of rice and here in the Philippines rice is our main food but I stopped eating rice when I started my diet he said he will teach me so we'll see

Yay! thank you so much for all ur replies.

I've been telling him to contact their HR but he said we don't need it

finally! he said he will call them later

@hank yes I'm too worried about that cert, better safe than sorry as I always say.
