Its about time. How long have you been married?

doesn't sound like a visa petition to me..

turns out that St. Lukes was where she had the surgery done so her records would be there anyway. Thanks everyone!!

sir,

Yeah they are both Saint lukes,but the SLMEC is an extension clinic,SLMEC is where I went for my medical.Thats the affiliated hospital for medical for US visa petitions.

SLMEC is different from Saint Lukes Hospital. Different location and Different Hospital Administrator.

Hello! Can i still go with my interview with only have a xerox copy of my second birth cert.( the correct one )? Can i get deny for that? Or put me in AP? Coz i happened to have a double bc and need to cancel first my old reg. for me to get my new one..and im thinking, it will take so long and my interview will be on nov. 16..

Any advice will be highly appreciated.Godbless!

sis, go to nearest NSO and do what you need to do. and ask them how long it would take. if you wont be able to make it on youre interview,have it rescheduled asap,NO SHOW at the embassy would be the last thing you want right!?

BOB and ANNA,

I just want to ask if I can go medical without my vaccination record? My hubby got paid the AOS is it okay to do advance medical eventough without the IV Bill yet? Thankz for the responce.

Its okay if you dont bring copies of your vaccination record. Yes its ok to do advance medical without IV bill. just bring a copy of any document from NVC so that you can show them youre case number. goodluck!

Do we need the original copy of the NOA2 and NVC mail or is it okay if it is a reproduced copy? Thanks!

I only showed them scanned copies of NOA2. definitely YES. you can make copies of them

congrats!!

I would like to thank VJ for helping us in our K-1 Visa. My visa was approved last Nov. 4 and I was really happy coz it was just a 5-min interview with a tagalog speaking CO. Right now, I'm just waiting for my visa. Hope they will deliver it soon.

Once again, thanks everyone who shared their interview experiences and to the members who are always there to answer our questions. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

congrats!

What is interesting? After thanking God all night, I woke up this morning, walked outside, (still dark) and saw a shooting star going half way across the sky! I think God is saying, You are welcome, I will bless your lives together. Always give thanks.....

congrats sir on youre approval

hi sir. we got married january 30th of this year. my husband went back to the US, february 4,2009

from then we started gathering all our documents.

I applied for passport,husband downloaded DS230,G325A,I864.

we were so excited that by the time my husband submitted I130 we have all the documents we need. it is advisable to do it ahead of time than to do it the last minute. if youll check our timeline our step with NVC is a bit fast,cause we have all the documents ready before hand

thanks guys for all youre replies...

to those who are stayin in manila,how many days after your interview did you get your visa?

NOTE: i want to know,coz just in case. If it could save a few days then id rather stay in manila.

november 24... 7 am

aww mine is nov 23 830 am wah

here is my original post..

hi guys..i just would like to ask if its a STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE to undergo a Personal Evaluation Test/Interview with SLEC's Psychologist when ur annulled under "psychological incapacity"..I happened to be annulled under this ground but both my X filipino hubby and I. However, my lawyer explained to me that its not that I am insane nor violent or unfit to have future relationship but just merely incapacitated to be with my X hubby...If I was insane, the first one to terminate me is my local department where i am workin now. Besides, the local psychologist tried her best to reach out for my X hubby at home and work but to no avail..so since i was the petitioner of the case, i happened to be her target..pity... ..anyway..i didnt realize that this could mean a real big issue..but at least i was annulled in a legal way...

When i had my medical last Oct. 27, the P.E. doctor knew i was annulled from the front page of the PDS under marital status. I didnt deny that and was confident because i have legal annulment papers. Unfortunately, in my Decree which she asked from me, it was stated there both petitioner and respondent of the annulment case was psychologically incapacitated, she turned to me and said "ITS AN SOP TO UNDERGO A PERSONAL EVALUATION TEST FROM SLEC'S PSYCHOLOGIST...so now ive to be back in Manila and undergo the test at SLEC on the 10th of November at 8am after which, 2-3 days, i'll get the result(hopefully) together with my medical result. Moreover, I am supposed to have my Interview on Nov. 5 as set but i refunded my ticket...If only there were posts like this before, i would have thought on what to answer the doctor..

Now, I am wondering if someone or anyone from this site had undergone same procedure or am I the first ever to experience this??and how long did it take before the result was out? And if its a red flag or a possibility of being denied or put under AR at the USEM?

Ive lots of speculations and mixed thoughts after that incident...what if i didnt show the papers to that doctor who pretended to be a lawyer? i might still pass the medical but what if the Pre-screener will read my annulment decree during the interview and see that im also incapacitated and will put me under AR for not telling SLEC about it, the longer im gonna wait...right??? well that same day after i was told by the doctor at slec, i couldnt think well and just cried coz i never heard nor read posts with same case like mine thats why i was so naive or maybe stupid enough to be too honest..at that spur of the moment i thought honesty was not always the best policy...sometimes we need to lie for our sake,,,but im sure, if its God's plan to let that doctor know, its a way to warm me up or prepare me for more debating and interrogation at USEM....now i realized i shouldnt be that freakin worry-wart.. as they say--""things happen for a reason""..and i believe it now..but again, i need to pray that ill pass this ordeal and have immeasurable patience...i feel a lil better today than the past days, honestly

so for those of u who are annulled and fall under same grounds, please just be honest..better than being denied or caught unaware at the USEM...two weeks aint that long to wait than bein put under AR/AP for several weeks or months...

Include me in ur daily prayers...i hope this post will be of help to others

u may share ur experiences too, or anything...just dont put hurting comments coz im not ready for that yet...

my son had to undergo Psychological exam, i dont know why,but he has hearing problems and is only two.but we had to do it anyway then came back to SLEC after the results of the Psychological exam. Btw who was the doctor who did youre physical exam? is it Dr.Jan ? her cubicle is the last cubicle.

Is it fine to have the medical at St. Lukes ahead of time even though we don't have the packet/mail coming from the USEmbassy and interview date yet as long as we can provide the copy of our NOA2 and NVC mail?

Thanks...

definitely YES. me and our baby boy went there for advance medical,this are the things i brought with me

1. My passport

2. Gabbys passport

3. 2x2 pictures (4 pcs white background) for me

4. 2x2 pictures (4pcs white background) for gabrielle

5. NOA2 for me (Copy)

6. NOA2 for gabrielle (copy)

7. IV bill for me (printed from the internet) for case number.

8.IV bill for gabrielle (printed from the internet) for case number.

here's my experience during my medical

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...=221944&hl=

FYI: it is better to go for an early medical because you never know, incase theres problem it gives you more time,so it does not cost so much delay.

congrats and hope you bring home good news
