So, just now I received an email from the NVC with the letter attached stating my case was forwarded over to the Kingston, Jamaica Embassy and to apply and prepare for the interview....SMH.

 

I guess the NVC calls themselves been "eco-friendly" and not mailing the letter. If I would have waited on them to get confirmation, Reni's interview and medical wouldn't have been scheduled until mid-late May!!!! They are over a week late sending me this!

So glad to see you've moved forward!  Can't believe it's been so long!  You're almost there now!  Congrats!!

Been a while since I have been here, Hope everyone is doing fine. So we had our medical date and interview date set. First it was the medical and that's where things did not go well. My fiancee went to St. lukes on March 1st, after all the testing she was told that there was an abnormality  on her chest xray, but did not see TB so they told her to come back for 3 days and give a mucus sample each day, tomorrow will be her 3rd day. after talking with her, she explains to me that there are between 300 - 400 visa applicants with the same problem. Can this be possible?  How can 300 people have chest abnormalities? I know St Lukes is the only place to get the medical as per the US embassy rules, but I am starting to think there is something not right, since they would not show her the xray results. They said it is not their practice to show xrays, which I find hard to believe since we paid for the medical exam and have every right to see them. Now we have to wait for the results of the mucus samples, and she was told even if the results are negative she still has to take anti biotics for 2 months be fore being cleared medically.  Why would you have to take  medication if the results are negative, something seems corrupt to me. And worst case, if the results are positive  she has to take anti biotics for 6 months and then take the whole medical exam again and pay the fee again. Has anyone else in my VJ family  had this issue  if so please give your advice. Thanks!

We were worried too so just a week before had her do x-ray.  Soon as came back clear we sent her.  Many people have complained about them there.  It's really just rolling the dice with them.  It is crazy that they make them take antibiotics for 2 months, I thought that was dumb.  I did read if TB is present but latent, treatment can be done in US.  If it's active must be done there.  I do think US needs to approve other medical places, just one is too restrictive and should allow a second look,not to mention many have to fly to Manila.  I hope everything is clear!!!  All May filers need to be finished!

Please help!

Keep reading and hearing different stuff about CFO class in Philippines.  Fiance is 22, does she really need the parental advice letter and notarized?

Anyone having this problem with CEAC when you try to check your case status and it just doesn't load? This is after interview approval.

Yeah,it takes a while to load now.  Guess because it's near real time now.  Takes about 30 seconds to pop up.  She was just approved yesterday.

Well my fiance has her interview Monday.....her CENOMAR is 7 months old.  I know we're going to get a 221g form.  How long will that take do y'all think?

Can anyone tell me what to expect at POE?  

Not much from what I've read.  Depends how busy they are but most say a few questions at most and some say just ask when getting married or just good luck.  Haven't heard anyone really interrogated.

Fiance checked out of medical day one and was asked to bring the following for day two:

Shipping and Delivery Address Confirmation (Applicant scheduled by NVC)

What is that?

Need help!

Fiance needs to go back to medical day #2 and they gave her stuff to get.  One I have no clue what it is they're asking for......

Shipping and delivery address confirmation (applicant scheduled by NVC).

What is that?

Question for the affidavit of support... What evidence are you submitting? We just submit what it said in the instruction as follows:

 

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details 
regarding the account:
(1) Date account opened;
(2) Total amount deposited for the past year; and
(3) Present balance.
B. Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing:
(1) Date and nature of employment;
(2) Salary paid; and
(3) Whether the position is temporary or permanent

 

Now I see people talking about W2 and pay stubs... is it necessary? Or are we good with the evidence listed as in the instructions?

I would say you're good, I read all that too but their site does not request that.  I plan to take a copy of my W2 (I saw can do I-864 EZ as well if W2 will cover the 125% poverty guideline and other items to meet criteria as well).  I would think most people could settle with the EZ form and just need copy of W2.  Saw all this on same website I believe you're looking at as well.

I understand people's concern but they don't ask for it.  If near poverty of 125% then I would definitely want to take extra showing more funds in reserve and stuff.

I will have to say, I'm quite amazed and quite happy how quick the process went after appoval!  After all the horror stories last year, they definitely stepped it up!  Kudos to NVC.

Yes, you have to wait until the system is updated. I'm from Peru and I had the same problem  

My fiance called the NVC and they told him that the process takes up to three days ... Patience ... I'm also waiting and trying all the time 

Thanks!  I was getting concerned.  All this time waiting, just getting anxious now!

My case says "Ready" and DS-160 has been submitted but it's saying my receipt number is not valid!  This is for Philippines and I'm trying to pay online.  Do I have to wait some time?

My case changed to "in transit" to Manila.  How long does it normally take to be "ready"?  Thanks!

Hey everyone, 

Does anyone know what vaccines are needed or where I can find a list? Since we have some time while waiting for our NVC# , we wanted to get ahead and make sure we have them all before the medical interview. 

Thanks!

 

Most places include vaccines in with the medical so may want to check and see so don't waste time and money on it.  We were worried too because her vaccination records were lost.  So try not to stress till find information on it.

Fiance just had X-rays done to check for pneumonia.  Says on St Luke's Medical Extension that you take x-rays 3 months and older.  Does she need to notify them of x-ray or take it with her?  If she took it would they still do x-ray?

Thanks!

Mr. Google says it is here:  4th Floor Metro Town Center, Alabang–Zapote Road, Alabang, Muntinlupa, Metro Manila, Philippines

 

I see your concern.  I don't think leaving the city as blank would be a good idea.......

Thank you!

Is she traveling alone if I'll be with her?

My fiance's passport says issued at DFA NCR South.  Doesn't give city!  We know it's in Alabang but doesn't say on passport a city or province.  What we put for city?

I have a questions about the I-134 form: 

 

When should I fill it out? Should I wait until my fiance gets closer to interview? Or do it now? I'm asking because I'll provide bank info. I don't want the info to be too old if I get it now.

 

Also, of the 3 options. Can I just do my bank only, or do I need to get more than one?

 

Thanks

Usually they say once letter is received from NVC.  Funds shouldn't change too much.

The more the better.  Unless you have high pay well above poverty and W2 shows it.  They just wanna know fiance won't be burden.

I got my case number for my fiance (it's still at NVC).  I'm worried because she has pneumonia she will need to have TB sputum testing done because they'll likely see white on her lungs during x-ray.   Can I have her go ahead and submit the DS-160 and pay fees and schedule a medical before the case is in Manila and "ready"?

If they do see spots, is it directly onto the sputum testing or do they do other (shorter) tests to determine if TB is present?

We're really worried because we've waited so long already for this!

Thank you for your help!

@Shoegum @Naes - tagged y'all because you know a lot of process and might know someone who can help (in other words y'all are great!)

 No..

Thank you!  She's currently trying to get rid of it but it's being stubborn.  Told her to just get a Dr note saying it's pneumonia and what meds she's taking for it.  Told her at most they'd tell her to fix it when here.  She's starting to worry a lot about denial.
