Hi, this was my question too. As soon as our case got READY we paid a bank for the visa fee right away, then we booked an interview and medical. We didnt wait for Packet 3 and 4. It wont even be asked during the interview.

Thank you so much ladylyn. tomorrow's my interview and this helps.

wow gudluck sis..kattapos ko lang din ng interview ko knina.nasurprise ako kc hindi nila kinuha or hinanap ang afidavit of suport even the tax copy and w2.

Wow congrats mheann tapos ka na sa interview. Bukas na interview ko

Hi! To those who have already gone to interview at USEM, I would like to know if during the interview, they ask each document from you or you would just give them the folder you have containing all the documents and they will just scan it?

Thank you for answering my question, I'll have interview in the next 3 days.

It all depends what you budget is and how you want it!! Are you good with making stuff like decorations? Dollar tree has nice candles, wine glass, and other stuff you can used, also Michaels and acmoore have nice decorations you can make.

Hmmmm. Nice idea. I'd love to have it DIY... but I'm not really good at it.

I can't be much help but did a little research and found this website that offers many of the Wedding Planners in the Chicago area. All had feedback on their success by past users. https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/wedding-planners-chicago-il

Good Luck.

Thank you so much for taking time to research, Greenbaum. I visited the site and I find it helpful and cool. Thanks for being with me in this journey from medical to wedding. lol

If I were you I would just go to a restaurant after the ceremony. David's Bridal is one place where you can look for dresses online.

I have never been to Chicago, so can't be more specific. Another idea is to have you wedding if you want it to be small in Vegas, a lot of people have smaller weddings there and so the industry is very well developed. You can have a small ceremony with them providing you flowers, minister, and a bottle of champagne for under $400.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I'll consider this and talk to my fiance about Vegas. I visited David's Bridal and it's great. Thanks!

Wow! Congratulations! so happy to hear that. Well, everyone really gets paranoid when it comes to delaying the time we'll be together with our fiance. Lol

Hi!

I'm getting married in US, and my husband and I plan to make it intimate with only 5-10 guests.

Now to those who have gone ahead of us, I would like to ask your help in planning the wedding since I don't have any idea about it. We will be in Chicago, Illinois Aug. 7th.

Any chance you could recommend anything?

From wedding dress

To food

Fo venue

And designs

Thank you so much!

***My fiance and soon to be husband, rather. Lmao

Hi guys! Kaka received lang ng NOA2 namin last July 18.

Hihintayin ba namin na ipadala dito yung packet for the instruction or patawagan ko si fiancé sa NVC para kunin yungMNL number para maka pag book na ng appoibtment at makapag pa medical na? Nakakalito kase ehh

Hi! We got our MNL case number 7 days after we got the NOA2 mail. As soon as we got our MNL case number, and the other two number you'll have to get along with the MNL case number, we paid BPI right away and waited 3 days for our physical file to arrive in Manila then we booked our medical and interview.

My interview is this coming 28th of July

Hi! My Xray was all clear! And I'm done with my medical and I got he results with me. Thanks!

Hi! My Xray was all clear! And I'm done with my medical and I got he results with me. Thanks!

Wow, very comprehensive!

Thank you so much!

Oh, so I didn't know about skin test. I thought if they found a spot they will immediately make you have the sputum test.

Thank you!!!!!

Relax You might need the sputum test but you'll have results in three days and you'll know your outcome. From what you described I think you should be fine. Good luck

Thank you Greenbaum. I just want to clarify what you meant by getting the results in three days?

Is it the sputum test? (Afaik, they culture it for two months)

And for the result of the chest xray, I guess I'll get the result within the day or the next day.

What do you mean by three days?

Thank you.

how about ur medical sis?

Medical ko will be this Wednesday, July 20. You have to do the pre-reg online.

Hello everyone! Magkano ang bayad?

Sa akin 12,720 pesos

The answer is no. The Doctors see thousands of cases, many like yours, and with today's technology and training, a Doctor will be able to judge whether you have TB or just the common cold or in your case residual pneumonia.

Thank you so much. One more thing, I had a latent TB. But I'm already done with the treatment. I had chest xray like 2 weeks ago and it shows my lungs are already cleared, not even a scar because it was just a mild TB, just a spot starting to form.

I am so nervous their facility might find something in my lungs. I don't know.

Yes, they'll allow the medical, just tell the what's going on if that makes you feel comfortable.

Good luck

Thank you so much, I'm so relieved.

Hi! I had a mild pneumonia like 3 months ago. I'll have medical at St. Luke's this Wednesday.

I'm wondering if spotting that pneumonia in my lungs would be grounds for sputum test?

Thanks for answering!

Hi! This must be a sensitive topic to ask, but I am in birth control, which is injectable, and it makes me have spotting the whole month.

*I don't know what to answer when they will ask me when was my last period because everyday I'm spotting, but just light.

**Will they allow me to have the medical if this is my case?

If I will wait for my spotting to stop, I wouldn't be able to have my medical since it's an everyday thing because of my shot.

Please, anyone, enlighten me with this.

Thank you.

I'll have my medical this Wednesday, July 20

we have same question.....anu ginawa mo te NAGBAYAD KANA AT NG FILL UP NG DS160

Hi! Nag bayad na ako sa BPI kaagad so by the time na posted na ang payment, nag book na kaagad ako ng interview sched. Kahit in transit pa ang physical file to USEM

When I called NVC yesterday, the guy I talked to said he doesn't know why they put that they sent an interview date. So no, don't wait for an interview letter from NVC. It will never arrive.

Thank you so much Taylor for confirming.

We are now waiting for our payment at BPI to be posted so we can already schedule our interview soonest possible, so I can have the medical right away and see if they will find a problem in my lungs... (Because it will delay us for two months) So he can have a good estimate when he'll fly here so we will be flying together to US as soon as I get the visa.

Now I'm going to fly to Manila for my medical. As I was reading the requirements for medical, they require a printed letter/printed email from NVC with our Case Number.

We didn't receive any email or letter for having our case number. All we did was call the NVC so we had our case number.

What will I ever present to St. Luke's for that?

Anyone help?

Help. I dunno what to do next after having manila case number. Should I wait for my case which is already in transit to Manila before I could pay BPI?

Or can I already pay BPI even if my case did not arrive in Manila yet?

Ohhh, thanks!

Can I pay BPI even if our case is still in transit to Manila embassy?

Hi!

Now we're stuck after we have the MNL case #. According to 'visa status check' NVC has set an interview schedule for me.

There a conflicting info from what I've read from forums to the info from NVC.

Please please help us. We don't know which step to take next.

Should we wait for NVC schedule of our interview or should we take another step? Which step?

Thank you so much!

Hi, Ladie! Thanks for the heads up! I realy appreciate you took time to reply.

Anyway, NOA2 was approved June 14 and we got our MCN July 13, just yesterday.

Our case status from NVC to MANILA Embassy is still in transit.

My fiance is still waiting for the invoice fee to show up in a certain site so we will be able to pay at BPI.

Now we are waiting for NVC to give us their set interview schedule.

I am so confused if we will be the one to set interview sched like what I read from others' experience or I should follow the sched from NVC?

Thanks for the reply!

Hi!

We just got our Manila Case # July 13, 2016. Can someone help us which steps to take next so we could expedite the process?

Can someone enlighten me what to do first? Thanks a lot!
