A question to Filipino beneficiaries:
 
Is it possible to complete the medical in one day?

Thank you so much! You will too.  my cenomar was accepted.  found out its 6months validation  

Yup you better because you still have time. Me ill just let it since not all cases were the same and its not good to compare our case to others so ill just leave it like that since logically its still till valid. If they need a new one the usem will verify it by filling out a form and they will get it. We are not in a hurry and we do wanna make this done but still my partner and I don't wanna stress too much about it. At least, I feel good by letting my co vj know about it. I keep you guys updated my interview will be this coming tuesday. 

I'll still get just in case. Better safe.. ive never been married too! 😳

Yeah I think because shes annuled the officer wants reverification. She was asked to fill out a form from PSA then us embassy will be the one to check it. Since our case is different we never been married so now all clear to me that its okay. Over here PSA OFFICE can only release the cenomar after 4days so it will be useless if ill go tomorrow. Idk in Pasay. I got few vj posers who told me that the cenomar shouldnt be 2 months old. I got a friend who did cr-1 who told me 6months is good. So most cases it depends on the consular officer. Idk what PSA OFFICE will issue a cenomar in one day. Am from Cavite.

So you booked an appointment then changed it?

Thank you lara  

OMG My beautiful bride to be and her daughter are at St Luke's Medical Center as I type this
She got there around 4:15 am and said long lines, She is number 40. I know doors still not open so she is still waiting
Hoping and praying all goes well as her interview is scheduled for June 27
One step closer my friends
Our love and prayers to all those who still are waiting

I hit a major road block in my medical. I was required to do the 3 day sputum test which will add 8 more weeks to my visa journey. Plus 6 more months if positive. It's been a really awful day. I missed work tonight coz it took forever to get my x-ray results. Congrats to my fellow Filipino beneficiaries who have completed their medical. 

Heads up to those who will do their medical in St. Lukes Manila. This is something you can expect to happen.
 
1. Ready your docs
    *passport, passport copy, letter from nvc, confirmation interview, 2x2 pictures 4pcs
    *submit it to guard and get the number
2. Wait for your number to be called this is still in the ground floor for PDS and finger scan. Double check everything, I mean the entire info
3. Proceed to the cashier 5th floor
4. Proceed to the 4th floor for blood and urine test. Dont worry they will extract your blood easily. For the urine test,its best to drink a lot of water and eat before going there.
5. You will be asked now to go to 3rd floor for your x-ray. Fill out the form that will be given to you and remember the first day of your last mens. Girls bring pony tail. And wear clothes thats easy to undress
6. After xray, you will be asked to go to immunization interview on 2nd floor, fill out another form the  wait your name to be called. Here the doctor will ask you questions about your vaccines. Bring records if you have one.
7. Now this is another long wait. You will proceed to 5th floor for vital signs&weight your name will be called then you have to wait again to check your height and have an eye test. After these, you will wait too long for medical exam  here I think it depends on the doctor if they will ask you to remove all clothes or not. Just be honest with your answer and consistent.
8. Once done, the personnel in the USA counter will ask you to go to ground floor and put your paper in the box at cubicle A.
9. Waiting time again, you will be for immunization in second floor if theres no problem in your medical.  You will be given vaccines depending on your history. 
10. After vaccinations, you will be asked to go back to ground floor for releasing, ready your passport and wait till your name will be called. Double check everything and listen to the personnel as they speak fast to provide fast service. The brown envelope and passport are for the us embassy inteview and the vaccine report and cd are for the usa entry.
 
then thats it. Never open the brown envelope.
 
if it happens that you will be asked for sputum then you have to be back for 3 consecutive days for them to collect your sputum and wait for 8weeks. Some also went there to have a skin test and sputum collection. If there will be other things that they need to clarify they will let you know. As they took the lab tests already so they will not give you vaccines if they see that theres something that they need to clarify.
 
on the positive side, seeing some symptoms on the medical won't mean denial right away as St. Lukes is there to help us to be admissable to USA so they are providing cure to those applicants who are undergoing more lab tests now. 
 
God Bless to us guys! And Goodluck!  hope this post will help you. 
 
 

thanks so much for the info

You should try calling. Ours took only 5 days in transit before our status changed to ready.. i dont think it takes that long for it to be sent fromUS to PH

Those planning to go on their medical in PH! I was there at 3:30am and got cue at number 16. They start checking papers from the guard before handing out the numbers, just make sure you have them clipped together with your passport.  i finished all in one day and got the results as well. It was somewhat fast. I just waited 5 hours to get the results. Finished all by 9am then waited till 2pm to get immunization and results.  i was out by 4:30z. If you have eveything organized, all will go smoothly.

Done with my interview in Manila this morning and got APPROVED! 👏❤️👍
 
Such a big relief hearing these lines from a CO: "Congratulations. Welcome to the United States Of America. You're approved! Wait for your visa in 5-7 business days! You may go home now!" 🙂
 
 
 
 

Done with the medical in just one day  no need to be afraid  all went fine so smooth

Yes  they need to. I suggest they come early. I cam today at 3:30 and i was 16. Finished all at around 9.. but i can comeback later at 2pm for results. Hopefully, immunization.. there are hotels nearby, so if your girls live far, they can check in. Im staying in a mall nearby, thank God they have loads of restos and coffeeshops. Spending 5 hours here. 

Goodluck to all that will do the medical tomorrow. Safe and sound here now at paragon tower hotel just walking distance to St. Lukes.  hope we can finish all in just one day.  

Good luck! Will be there as well  

My fiancé is going to his interview tomorrow! Please say a little prayer for us! I am a nervous wreck! 

Hi. Me....Mee... Will be going there on Tuesday the 6th after my Monday night shift. I just live in QC and work in Makati thankfully. Good luck to us.
