I went with my wife to her Interview Nov 10th went smoothly actualy asked me more questions than her. Approved and asigned the visa for pickup at 2 GO,mall of asia . I pre purchased our tickets for the Nov 23rd. Giving us 8 days turnaround time of the visa. Low and behold they were hosting the APEC summit, closing down the embassy for 1 week. No notification from the embassy or Rapidvisa who i hired that this was planned. Needless to say our timing went in the crapper. Received on the 25th, costing an additional 500$ in change fees and an endless amount of stress.Lesson to be learned form this is Listen to everyone who says dont buy the tickets until the visa is in hand, you never now in the Phillipines, ever as in they refuse to commit to any turnaround time. We arrived back in the US nov 27th, POE was a breeze.I have seen questions on here before about who can attend the interviews, my answer is anybody. They never even asked to see my passport at any stage entering the embassy. I saw mothers and father acommpany petetioners. Good luck to future couples in your process.

Hello to all! My case was Sent to the NVC on September 17th and received on the 24th, when and HOW do I call to receive my case number and Invoice number? Thank you in advance, and I hope everyones luck is with them.

Can you get a sponsor? That looks to be your only option unless you have a large amount of assets..

Rapidvisa is a reliable company.They are always available for any questions and concerns you have, its worth the small price for peace of mind. They cant speed up the processing but they can avoid delays due to errors or omissions in your petition.Good luck in your journey

My Wife is Filipino, this coming Sept she will be attending the requirement Guidance Counseling Seminar, for to recieve her certificate. What we are unsure of is..
1. How far in advance can "we" schedule a appointment in cebu?
2. Is it possible for the Foreign Spouse to schedule the appointment online?
3. When does she receive her certificate?
The seminar she will be taking is the "CFO Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP)"
We have to our knowledge all the docs needed for her seminar. Thank you for reading this, we really need to know as I've said, we will be in Cebu Sept. So I am wondering if I (spouse) can schedule her appointment ahead for her.
Thanks,
Andrew & Vangie
