    I only paid 650 for me. I did not pay for my daughter because in the instructions it says principal beneficiary only. We applied for K3 and K4 visas and we are now in LA since feb 14. We had our interview feb.7 and we got the visa on feb. 12.

    Oh well thats nice. I have just seen a K3 app that paid the 650 and was asked for more at the interview on Feb 8th.. They still have no visa.

    Hey everyone. sorry for not posting this in the correct place. I just got home with my baby and am not sure where to start. Can I go to the courthouse and just get a marriage license?

    Please help

    Hi Tim-

    I went to the town clerks office and filled out some paperwork, then each state has a different waiting period (MA was 3 days I believe). After that, I just had a justice of the peace perform the ceremony and they mailed me a marriage certificate. It's pretty simple. Good luck!

    Hey Thankyou very much.. I'm off!!!! wish me luck

    So far so good 6 members on the Feb group hasn't notified us if they were approved or have been put to AR..

    Gut feeling tells me they are approved and just busy celebrating..

    Don't celebrate too much till you get the VISA..

    In my opinion.. I won't take the Post Interview approval as an approved case till I get the VISA in hand..

    Isn't that the trouth. I am very happy everyone is getting good nuse. We picked up her visa the morning of the 6th amd all that is left is the CFO class today. Is anyone else going today?

    I poasted this somewhere else.. just in case you guys missed it.

    This it the instructions I followed to get my pick up visa approved:

    This is in reply to your inquiry of December 19, 2007, regarding the visa concerns of your constituent, Timothy Younger.

    As you are aware, the applicant is scheduled for a visa interview on February 4, 2008. At that time, a consular officer will determine if the applicant is eligible for a visa.

    If the applicant is found to be eligible for a visa, the visa packet will be delivered to the applicant's designated address by guaranteed courier service within 7 to 10 working days. We will also consider a request for special handling of visa issuance, pick up and delivery within the constraints of our resources. If the applicant would like to pick up the visa packet at the Embassy, she should submit a written request addressed to the adjudicating consular officer indicating her complete name, case number, current address, and telephone/mobile number(s). Applicants should make no final travel arrangements until they receive the visa packet.

    If the applicant would like to inquire further about the status of the visa case, she may contact the Embassy's Visa Call Center at telephone 1-909-101-7878. This number is for subscribers of PLDT and Smart telephone touchtone landlines with national and international distance dialing features (NDD or IDD access). Callers in the USA can contact the Call Center at 1-888-877-9888. The Call Center is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Manila time). There is a fee assessed to callers by the Call Center for its services.

    My interview experience

    We woke up around 3AM and got ready. We left around 5AM. I hadn’t been able to pull money from my card yet and only had around P500. We stopped at an ATM and it was out of service. It was almost 6AM and I decided there wasn’t enough time to get any more money. My driver was very kind and let me owe him the money for driving us from Paranaque City.

    My Papa went with us and was going to wait outside to hold the cell phone. I gave him some money so he could eat leaving us with enough to pay Delbros.

    Around 7AN they called 7:30 appointments first the traveler’s visas then the K1 and K3. Once inside we followed the blue line to a room with around 200 seats. TIP!!!! SIT IN THE BACK CLOSEST TO THE DOOR RIGHT BY THE BATHROOM.. The guard picked rows to go get numbers and he started from the back. We were 7061 and Dennis and Antonette were sitting in the middles they were 7031 and they were done a lot quicker then us.

    Soon after we had our number they called Maricar up for finger scanning over the loud speaker.

    I didn’t have a watch so I’m not sure time except for the lunch break. Hehe (bring a watch) I think around 10 we were called up for prescreening at window 17

    Maricar was asked when and what exact site we met on and for all of our paperwork

    For the 134A they only wanted my TAX RETURN not W2 for 2006. She seemed happy I had filled out a new one. I had submitted one with my I129F in June.. And seemed happy I had 8 years of W2’s

    She asked how many times I was devorced and about my trips to the Philippines in the past.

    I think all they really cared about was the paperwork.

    Out of my backpack full of proof she only picked a few things.

    Very easy and I do think it goes smother when the patitioner is present.

    It seemed to work fine without on many others. Just less questions.

    We waited and watched people around us getting approved and the room was quickly emptying. I was so happy to see a smile on everyone’s face while leaving. I was especially happy for Dennis and Antonette.

    On the hour lunch break I was able to pull some money from BPI and get something to eat. Maricar was feeling pretty weak and honestly so was I. In a way I was thankful we were behind everyone else so we had a chance to eat something and regain our happiness for the interview.

    Once back inside about 45 minutes after everything started back up our number was called to the interview room 30. While waiting in the chairs beside the door I heard him interviewing A girl that was alone. He really asked her a lot of questions about there meeting and a lot about her SO’s job. I was worried for her..

    Now our turn. I told everyone outside while waiting to smile so we were smiling and greeted with a good afternoon. We sat and were sworn in and the only thing he asked Maricar was where and when we met. The rest was him talking to me. Mainly about my flight and jet lag. He then said we were done and I asked him if we were approved and he said “not yet” I think he didn’t want to mention the Delbros document varification.. So I asked him if that was what he was talking about and he seemed surprised I new and said “Yes” Still not saying if we passed or not.

    We waited probably 20 minutes and were called to window 38. After waiting there in a line were told window 37 and waited there in a line. Then the lady at window 38 said she would help us. No one wanted to talk about the 3 week wait for debris so I brought it up to her with a copy of our receipt and a letter requesting special handling of our visa. After waiting 20 more minutes the lady at window 38 called us back and said the debris was done and we were approved for a visa pickup. Hehehe this was the first word anyone said we were approver HURAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    We were given a little red card to show when we come back.

    Thanks to God this is all over. I expect to be able to pick up the visa today…

    Note. Bring your Delbros receipt with a copy of it. You will be asked..

    It would have been much harder without this site. Thankyou VJ (F)
