NVC will send a letter to petitioner to let him know that within a week the petition will be forwarded to the appropriate visa-issuing post where benifeciary visa's interview will take place, its also stated there that benificiary will soon receive a packet with indsturction from the consular section on how to apply for the k1 visa and what documents will be required. Its the USEM who has the power to send appointment letter and not the NVC. When my fiance called USEM to set my interview date, he was given three available dates, and he chose March 2, after an hour I received a notification email from USEM stating about my interview date...pls be consistent of your post bcoz we are here to help others and not to make them more confuse. Good luck to all vjmembers

Yes, you are correct that USEM sets the interview dates, but that is ONLY for K1 Visas. What they were discussing in this thread is for CR1/IR1 VISAS, which NVC sets the interview dates for...pls be consistent of your post bcoz we are here to help others and not to make them more confuse.

Hello to you...ang sama pala ng ugali mo, andito ka para magshare ng nalalaman mo, hindi para naging sarcastic at ulitin ang sinasabi ng iba. Di ka pa nga nakakaalis ay confident ka na sa msg mo. Paano kaya kung di ka pumasa sa interview? tawa ko lang sa u, nabasa ko kc na 2005 pa kau last na nagkita, at ngayon lang ulit nasundan, di mo ba alam na within 2 years dapat nagkita kau...well, kung nakapasa ka sa NVC, am sure sa USEM ay HINDI!!!

u can call only using PLDT and SMART landline...no cellphone nor Globe.

Did you order it online?

I got mine at service center. They usually schedule your releasing date after 2-3 weeks. When i got my cenmar it was dated 4 days after my date of application. Try to talk to the information window and maybe they can help.

If u can go to NSO, u apply personally. Dont apply online bcoz it takes longer. Im from Tacloban City, and I went to NSO at 7am of Feb 9, at 2pm same day, I had it already...why it took longer to get a cenomar in other places? If you are in a city and NSO is just a walking distance, you still have time to request for a CEMAR before your interview date. But if u cant apply and cant have it on your interview date...still go ahead and submit if u alreday have it than to reschedule your interview date. Good Luck on your interview date.

i think from what i read is that you will set the date of your interview but the USEM have to see if the date is available..so you will also have to choose which date (that is if the date you set isnt available)

In my case, my fiance called and USEM gave 3 available date for my interview date, he was asked Feb xxx....he chose March2 to gave me enough time to prepare the requirements needed on my interview date. Good Luck.

Can I call USEM and schedule for an interview without passport? Passport will be released later before the selected interview date.

What are the informations they need before they can give me an interview date?

Once your case is already at USEM, u can call anytime and set for your interview date. Be sure only to have your passport before your medical day bcoz St. Luke will forward that to USEM. Just prepare your email add where they can send your interview date. Good Luck.

CORRECTION ON THIS; THE NVC WILL send the LETTER not the USEM

Once ur husband received d appointment letter, ask him to forward that to you bcoz ul need that on your medical and interview date. NVC dont send appointment letter, only USEM. Good Luck on your medical and interview da

My husband recieved APPOINTMENT LETTER too this day, Do NVC will send appointment letter to beneficiary? Do my husband need to scan the letter and send on my email?or I should wait appointment letter via snailmail as beneficiary?

thanks for the reply.. GOD BLESS

Once ur husband received d appointment letter, ask him to forward that to you bcoz ul need that on your medical and interview date. NVC dont send appointment letter, only USEM. Good Luck on your medical and interview date.

I had a funny experience during my medical day 2. Before going to St. Luke on the next day for my immunization, I was worried bcoz I did not undergo with that sputum test on my day1, I was worried bcoz they might forget about this and it might affect my interview date bcoz i was thinking that medical is not complete without this test as I read so many post about sputum here already. So, I practiced on how to ask them about it, so, on my day2, before i was immunized, I asked the one incharge if they forgot my sputum test bcoz I cant remember that i undergone this test hehe, she said that il not be immunized if i have chest problem...thanks God my medical was good and when they told me that dvd tape will be open only on my port of entry, thats the time I said to myself that I passed my medical check up bcoz il get the tape in USA already

To those few vjmembers who experienced/experiencing sputum test....dont worry bcoz its a curable illness. Good Luck and God Bless.

Sorry to say its a curable illness, actually I really dont know what Sputum Test really mean is. God Bless and Good Luck to all vjmembers.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your experiences during your interview at USEM. GODBLESS.

Let him come first and know him personally...you will go to US with your kids and yet you havent met the man personally? Good Luck.

Anyone else going to be around that week? Maybe we could have a dinner or do something fun?

See u there and Good Luck.

this is a question for ladies. can i take the exam even if i have menstration?

Better you go there after your period. Trisha had her period when she went there, she undergone xray and laboratory test only but advised to come back after her monthly period. All applicants are asked to disrobe completely inside safe room during Medical Examination. Good Luck.

hello again..i dont know where to start again... before we applied the k1 visa .. ever since i never change my name and my status as married woman

b'coz all i know im a single woman... i had the secret marriage before 2001,,,my ex-bf and i we never applied to legal our marriage or even getting the marriage licence, 2003 when my ex- and i broke up we never act like as a marriage couple or anything we stay as BF and GF... then i turned out yr2005 when i took my CENOMAR i have marriage record... so when we go apply for k1 i got confused b-coz i dont know what my status is b'coz i used my single status until then so we put all the information in the k1 visa is single.. so i ask for atty about this matter and we found out the license number on my marriage contract i had was fake but its forwarded by the SO...and i explained that to the consular officer...

So i received the white slip on the releasing officer..its say's on the papers

: 212(a)(5)(A) you are not qualified under labor certification requirements

You have no petitionable relationship with the petitioner....

so please tell me more about this matter... thank you for the feed back..although it's kind of depressing ... but thnx for listening to me..

Your mistake was, you filed the petition after you learned that your marriage has a record at NSO. Even if you never treated each other as husband and wife or did not used his surname as ur husband, under the Phil law, you are still a married woman bcoz u married him and secretly marriage is not excempted under USCIS rule.

God is always there and keep holdin on.

dunno which hotel to stay near SLEC. any suggestions?

Try Southern Cross Hotel, about 100m away to SLEC...1,400 only for two person with a/c, tv, ref, elec fan, two towels, cabinet, and clean cr with hot and cold water, thats their standard room. But if ul alone, try hostel bcoz its only 985.00 a day.

I give all the glory and praises to my Saviour, my God...

thank you to this site; users of this site are very friendly...

I had my interview this morning with flying colors!

APPROVED!

now, I'm waiting for my visa.... and I'm ready to go...

thank you Lord!

ang puso koy nag pupuri at nagagalak... salamat po Panginoon...

Congrats friend...

Congrats and Good luck at the interview. Trisha talks highly of you. She is going to Prism tomorrow to get that out of the way.

Hello Dale...You are so lucky to have Trisha bcoz she is so such a nice girl, super ganda at sexy pa We talked about you and she said that you are so mabait and responsible man. Tell Trisha that I arrived here in Tacloban at 2pm, my cp is now low batt so cant text her now. Have a safe flight on 21th (if im not forgotten) see u on March 2 as I know that ul be comin over for Trisha's interview. Good luck too.

Thanks to all esp up there

I had my medical Feb 10-11, 2009. I went there at 11am and able to finish my day1 at 3pm...after my immunization on my second day I received the result,(it took almost 2 hours for me to wait until my name was called) they never told me if I passed or not, but the nurse told me that cd which contains about result of medical must be open at the port of USA when I get there hopefully soon. They only gave me a piece of vaccination domentation worksheet and thats all about my medical date...

From Tacloban I arrived NAIA3 at 7am, took a taxi direct to Ermita and looked for a hotel. Cherry Blossoms and CityStates hotel have no available room for one person that time, so I looked for another and then I found Southern Cross Hotel around 200 m away from SLEC, so, its only a walking distance. The room was so clean, I got a room for 2 person (thats their standard room already for 1,400 a day) even though im only one...next time when i get back for my interview, il be back on that hotel bcoz I really liked it there. I called hostel 1632 and its only 985.00 per day, bcoz a vj member (belovedbyme) sent a msg about this hotel (I msg you back but wasnt able to send bcoz ur inbox is full..thanks for the msg)

My medical days here in Manila was so exciting and memorable bcoz i met two vj members Trisha and Liza, they were so nice and pretty...both are on k3 visa and the most exciting thing is, three of us have same interview date which will be on March 2, 2009.

Ive learned also from my medical that coming early about 5am is not good for our health hehe...aside of not eating breakfast, rushing, haggard looks bcoz of kulang sa tulog and of so much excitement...yes, you will be able to finish your first day at 11am, but you cant continue in d afternoon bcoz day2 is schedule on second day always...I went at 11am, able to finish at 3pm, had a good sleep, and received a good result...thats my opinion only, dont take it seriously hehe...

Anyway Guys...to those who havent done their medical yet, good luck on your upcoming checkup and lastly, dont forget to bring black ballpen, 3 ID pictures (2x2) water and something to eat. Dont forget to ask from a guard a working flowchart for the day bcoz it will guide you on where to go til d last step...

So...now, im waiting for my interview date. And hopeful that il make it too...God is my guide and Saviour. Good Luck and God Bless.

Good Luck

sweet_wifey22

hello! i suggest u go to SLEC wednesday not too much ppl & bring sum snacks with u also water...

I had my medical last Feb 4 (wednesday). I arrived at 1:00 pm and was done at 3:40 pm (for day 1) - not alot of people in the afternoon because those who came in as early as 5am are probably done by 10 or 11 am

i agree afternoon is the best time..

i started at 1 pm too wed. and there were few people in SLEC.

Im leaving for Manila at 6am tomorrow and will be there after an hour. U gave me an idea of going to St. Luke at pm for my day1 medical. Thanks...

Is Malate close to St. Luke? What hotel in Malate is cheap? Im going there tomorrow and still dont know if which hotel im going to stay any quick reply is very much highly appreciated. Thank you.

wala ka pa palang interview date, iba pala ung nabasa ko hope ur husband ITR will arrive soon, so u can set your interview date already...Good luck:)

it's okay... I'm 26 now, turning 27 this july... 22 is our age gap..hehehe

oo nga pala hehe...i was out of knowhere. By the way...asko ko din...ive read kc about 650 pesos, is that the documents verification? others pay only $131 for visa processing at BDO...I wanna ask only just to satisfy myself Im planning kc to pay tomorrow at Banco De Oro before my medical. Im just hoping that my medical will take only two days so i can go back home on Friday morning. Im still in Manila for my 2nd day medical on your interview date. Good Luck.

3. i had my medical last jan21-22... 2 days... i arrived at 5;45am at st.lukes and finished my first day at 11am.. my 2nd day is 9am-10:30am... I'm very thankful to God that I never encounter any problem during my med... except from my aching arms.. ouch! (bcoz of 3 shots of vaccine)

4. my noa2 is with my husband (he didn't send me a copy), I brought my appointment letter during my med (be sure to have copy of your appointment letter) yes, passport... they will keep your passport and they will forward it to USEM with the result of your med...

Thank you friend.I have NOA2, NVC letter and USEM email, but since since I learned form u that appointment letter is enough, then il bring only the notification letter from USEM and keep the other forms til my interview sked. Sorry if i asked you about how old were you when u got married, bcoz im a bit curious bcoz u said 2000 and thats already 9 yrs ago from now, and if you are only 22 now, then you were only 13 when u got married...Good luck on your interview. You will make it...
