Fiance and kids were required to have DNA tests. The results were sent back to Manila 5 weeks ago, does anybody have any idea how long the process will take from this point?

Did you get the crba and us passport already?When is your fiance visa interview? We had our interview crba October 26th and had dna testing this 24th.

Me and my husband was planning to apply for our 9 months old daughter for CRBA. I would like to ask if how long to receive a reply from us embassy for our appointment date after we will mail the documents?Is it ok to use postal ID the new one?My husband will only stay here for 1 month im worried if the embassy will set us appointment after 1 month after we mail the documents.

Thanks!

We passed our papers October 6th and replied us on October 14th.

They will email you what are still missing or needed after they got the mailed documents.

They scheduled our interview 24th.

I renewed my passport at DFA aseana Aug. 27 and got my passport as scheduled Sept. 8. Not delayed.

Better schedule everything next week. St Lukes Announcements

Clinics Closed from November 18-19, 2015 (APEC Summit)

Posted Wednesday, November 11, 2015

Please be informed that St. Luke's Medical Center Extension Clinic in Manila and Bonifacio Global City will be closed from November 18-19, 2015 (Wednesday-Thursday) for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit.

In line with this announcement, U.S. Visa Applicants 14 years old and below are advised not to have their visa medical examination next week (November 16-20, 2015) as the required Tuberculin Skin Test will not be administered on that day.

I would also recommend registering online prior to your exam. It makes things easier and quicker. http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/index.php

Is it ok to make an appointment today and had my medical tomorrow?is st lukes open 18-20?

School transcripts should be enough along withthe passport and itr. Been through that and we got approved. We just had to go through some " Dna testing" prolly because we didnt have enough pictures to show. My child is born out of wedlock.

We had interview today and we are ti go through DNA testing..how long it goes?how much we need to pay?

For the process in Manila you should jump over to the Philippines forum. All embassies are not the same..

Now that you have your MNL# it is ROCK n ROLL time!! Follow the flashing arrow in my signature below for details.

So happy today got our manila case number. My fiance tried to call many times and then in the afternoon he got connected.

2GO is thinking you are responding to a 221g from the embassy you need to tell them you are simply sending documents to USCIS at the embassy, and you are paying for the service.

So with the mailing appointment system, I am confused as to whether I send in the payment when I send in my photocopies or if I pay when I go in to the interview. The CRBA Checklist states the fees, but doesn't state when to pay them. On the Embassy page when it says to mail in photocopies it doesn't say to send payment. Any help will be much appreciated thank you.

How did u send it?What courrier?Did you just bring the photocopies and send it to the U.S. embassy.

I'm going to send my application too.

Sorru alot of questions.

Thanks.

I went to 2GO outlet today i was going to send the papers for the crba and i had the address. But the 2Go people they gonna put it 221g i said its not 221g. They said they need some confirmation from the u.s. embassy. How can i gey appointment for the crba interview?

Pls help

Sorry to be late in answering with my response--we did two CRBAs and for the first one they had us do blood dna (2009) but the one we did for our second son was approved with no DNA test. We arranged all of the documents and mounted them as someone else said in this thread. Growing up pictures were easy because we used Facebook posts as time stamps, then printed the pictures that were in the Facebook pages. Everything was arranged with a nice index, and it took only about an hour and a half to get approval in my second son's case last year. See my signature for timelines for the CRBAs and passports. Good luck!

I went to 2Go outlet today and they asking me some confirmation. They were gonna put 221g there but i told them its not 221g and they said they need some confirmation from the US embassy. What is that? I thought that i will just send the documentes to the us embassy. Pls give some advice.

Thanks
