I read that the money for the medical is supposed to be paid at a bank and to bring a receipt? Has that changed? Did they actually make it easier? Also.... What if your packet never comes...how can you go to the medical? Don't you need some kind of proof that you are supposed to be there? I wish that they ran smoother in Manila.

So, In Manila, During her interview will she need to pay for anything? Is there a visa charge for $100 is that accurate? And for the medical... that is $100? And does all this go to bank of the ppines?

Thanks for any help you have. I think I'm overly excited about having a date, trying to line all my ducks in a row

The U.S. Embassy in MNL site has now released the March interview schedule. So no more second guessing. Here's the link http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/rp1/wwwh3227.html

I see it on there, just as the dept of state said.... Dont ever call that 18$ number...useless

thank you for that link.

NICE ACTION! I wouldn't be concerned if they did it right or wrong...who cares?!?!!? That's great! Have a safe trip, I hope my experience is as easy take care

when Claudeth went through the process it was Manila that set up the appointments and had nothing to do with any other department or agency, at least for the K-1. What number did you call at the embassy? I used to call (632) 528-6300 and then go to extension 5184 or 5185 for information.

How long has your petition been in Manila?

I called the dept of state...they say manila sends them the information. It's the only other thing i can find to call. As far as i understand they are the over-see-ers of all of this.

My k1 has been out since august 2005...

Thank you for your reply I'll try that number too.

That helps more than you know... thank you very much I appriciate that

good luck hope everything turns out ok

Alright! Let us know what happened will ya? Good luck

Good luck and Congrats

yeah! Fianally your long and horribly stressful journey is over ) Have a great life Don't forget to stop in once in a while

My packet 3 was mailed by the embassy on jan 26, with a medical of march 8 and a interview of march 15 (this is according to the Department of state)

The emabssay, when I called, claimed that she still has no appointment. I called the Dep of state and they informed me that they were 100% positive that she does in fact have appointments on that date and the packet was infact mailed.

Who should I believe? Are the people at Manila just some girls at a call center? And how do I find out if it was mailed and she just wasn't home? Do they use FedEx? or regular mail? any help would be greatly appriciated...thank you =D

I recently returned from Cebu Visiting my Fiancee. According to similar timelines, my case MNL200581xxxx, gets closer and closer. I assume that I get a letter that the Embassy has recieved my paperwork. I am I right about this? Thank you in advance.

My number is mnl 2005 785 xxx I found out my interview and medical date by calling the dept. of state. She still hasn't received the packet, although I found out when it left. Perhaps give a call 202-663-1225. Don't call Manila, they don't know anything. I called the embassy a few days after the packet left and they weren't even aware of that. Another good thing is that Dept. of state doesn't cost $18!

Good luck.
