Philippinestime at POE

I'd say it depends. If you're going to a large airport such as Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas etc., your line is definitely going to be longer. If your POE is a smaller airport such as Houston, Minneapolis, Detroit, etc., your line will be shorter.

I always say better safe than sorry. Make sure you have at least 3-4 hours and bring plenty of Sudoku books wink.gif



EDIT: (for some reason, it won't let me edit my original message, UGH!) Anyways...
What I'm planning to do is fly my fiancee either to Minneapolis or Chicago which are the nearest (main) POEs in the area where I will be. When she gets here, I'll be about 80 miles north of Kansas City (I live in San Antonio except during the summer, I live in northwest Missouri) and will drive to pick her up at the POE so that she will not have to deal with other problems at the airport. I also figure that she will enjoy the scenery, even if it's another 5-6 hours drive smile.gif



Where are you at? Maryville? That would be a nice drive to Minneapolis. It would give your Fiancee a chance to see the Heartland.... good.gif

Philippinestime at POE
QUOTE (Jimmy and Angela @ Apr 5 2008, 04:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
How much time is needed between flights at POE?
How long does it take to go through immigration and customs?
any thoughts?



It all depends on where your POE is and the time of day! Our POE was Chicago-Ohare and we landed around 2:30pm. We had a connecting flight at 5pm to KC and by the time we got to our gate, they were already boarding. Personally, I would have at least 3 hours before your connecting flight.

thanks for all your help with all my questions during the immigration process


CONGRATULATIONS on your wife's successful interview! kicking.gif Here's Delbros website: www.delbros.com, just put the tracking number (which is the MNL case number) plus 01 and then click "track waybill". Give it at least 3 days before you start checking. good.gif

Here is a guide that Sheriff Uling and others put together. This info should answer all your Questions. Good Luck to you!!! http://www.visajourn...showtopic=68967


as dannymartin1 says the guide that sheriff created really helps you a lot and here's some excerpt from the guide for your med exam and just go there to read about the requirements for the interview... if there's things you need to clarify, just asked the VJ member here and we'll get back at cha! good luck and God bless!!!...

What does the beneficiary need to take to the medical exam?

Check out the Manila Embassy Thread's recommendations on what to bring and sample questions asked [CLICK HERE]. Here are the basic required items that the beneficary needs to bring to the medical exam: (1) medical exam fee (payment accepted in pesos only), (2) passport (SLMEC will keep the passport and delivery it to the USE along with the medical exam results, so make a copy of the passport for your records), and (3) three 2x2 passport photos as stated on the DOS website [CLICK HERE] (referenced on page 3 of Packet 4). The beneficiary also needs to have the sponsors contact information (address, phone number, and ssn #) for the SLMEC forms. Please be sure to bring, at the least, the basic required items to the medical exam, but a more complete list is within the link for the Manila Embassy Threads recommendations listed above.

PhilippinesParental Consent - My Fiance is only 20 years old

Correct, CFO is not needed to be issued the visa. It is a requirement of the Philippine Gov, not The US Embassy. Your fiance will need the sticker from CFO in her passport to be able to board her flight to the USA.
How bout Jom's suggestion?


For her to get on a plane and leave then we need a" Parental Consent".

I am going to look in Jom's Suggestion.

She does have a 24 years old sister, whom will sign off.

I just hope the CFO, does not try hold up the CFO stamp due to not having "MOther" sign it.

I initial meet my fiance back in March 2007 while eating at a Jollibee, it was out of the blue.

I had to make the decision to let her finish her education before applying for K1, It was a tough decision to postpone everything a year, she graduated March 2008.

So Now I am ready to get this process on the road, and secure and have all documents done early, so in case we find a problem (like Parental Consent) we can figure a way to handle it, and not have it delay our visa.


You are a good man by letting her finish her Education.. good.gif We wish you the best in the rest of your Journey... I am sure everything will be okay! Follow the advice you have been given..... good.gif

i received a message from a vjer whose bag was stolen this afternoon. unfortunately,her purple slip and celfon are inside that bag. now this is the problem.
how can the embassy call her that her visa is ready for pick up? i suggested that she call Grace at the embassy and give her new celfon number and ask Grace on what she can do to be allowed to enter the embassy without the purple slip or send a fax to embassy for change of her contact number and include a copy of the police report of the incident... do u think this will work?

i told her to relax her mind and body for awhile coz im gonna get better advices from vjers here. do you have any advice for her?

thanks in advance co-vjers


I think the advice you have already given her was great. She needs to do this as soon as possible. Let us know how it all works out!!
