PhilippinesHow long they deliver the visa for K-1?
I had my visa on hand before 7 days after my interview. Delbros wasn't even texting me for verification, I was in surprised when it delivered to my house. Yes you can re-book your flight, I am not sure how much or if it would costs an extra charge though. Better inquire from the airline.

PhilippinesInfo in cenomar...
is this information consistent in your birth certificate? In some cases the embassy already took their preliminary investigation of the beneficiaries status of whether you are single/married/divorced. On my interview, they didn't even ask for my Cenomar...but of course it's one of the requirements of what to bring, JUST IN CASE. Yes, the purpose of that document is for passport/travel, that's how it suppose to be so don't worry.

PhilippinesAt what point did you quit your job?
It was a perfect timing on my part. I had my interview 2 moths after the graduation day of the preschool kids that I had been teaching and I submitted my resignation letter a few days after I turned over all the paper works.

PhilippinesWill you go for medical and iterview alone?
not sure if USEM has their new regulations but during my interview of May 2007, I saw a few girls with their foreign fiance'/husband going with them during the interview. St. Luke's don't allow companion unless its a special case that needs an assistance. But I flew to Manila (I was from Cebu) and done all the stuff all by myself. It was my first time to fly and my first time in manila. I had fun!

Im from Las Vegas USA and not Filipino, but been there many times and love the country. I hate it when I hear people talk bad about the country and will always correct them when I do. There is alot of Filipinos in Las Vegas and so many Filipino markets, stores, restaurants and we just got our first Jollibee, Chow King and Red Ribbon last year. Ayala has an office here to sell condos also. I have many Filipinos come into my place of employment and very surprised when I start to talk about the Philippines becuase I do with such excitment. Sometimes I talk for an hour and dont even see the time pass. I looked at condos when I was there in March 2007 and went back again in Sept 2007 and then again in Feb 2008 and finally found a condo I like with Megaworld. I plan on moving to Makati within 6 years after my soon to be wife is a US citizen and we purchase 2 more condos for investment. Bottom line to the story is people who talk bad about the Philippines have never been there or just dont understand the place or see the future in the country. The US has went down so much the past few years and who knows when things will get better. Yes I was born in the US and love my country but the Philippines has a much better future for anyone. Goodluck everyone



It is soothing to feel and to know that someone like you (a foreign of my homeland) have seen so much good of my country, that even some filipinos don't. I even so fortunate to have a husband who encourages me not to give up on my Filipino Citizenship and he too loves my hometown, Cebu. If my journey in this life is over, there is no place on earth that I want to lay my rest than on the land of my ancestors...PHILIPPINES!

PhilippinesWhat are the chances of getting the visa if I am gonna come alone?
with your first concern of going by yourself during the interview, you'll be fine..I did the same and I was approved right away. Anyhow, my husband who is then my fiance' visited me only once but we've known each other 2 1/2 years already before the interview. As much as he would like to go back and forth, it would costs a lot of $$$...

Hi everyone! I wanted to have my medical examination on April 28 and 29 but didn't get my copy of appointment letter yet... only my husband has the copy from NVC. My questions... can I just have my husband scan his appointment letter for me to print it? ALso, how do I schedule my medical exam? Should I call st. luke or something for scheduling? And, do you know any hotel that is very close to st. luke...? ANybody here who's going to have their medical exam on 28 and 29 this month? I'd appreciate all the answers... thanks and GOD bless to everyone!

*JF*



you have same case as of my friend who is now in Minnesota. She didn't received a letter nor an email for the confirmation of her interview/medical schedule except that her fiance' has a letter from NVC and a case status confirmation on USCIS website. So, what she did, she printed out her case status and a scanned copy of his bf letter from nvc....and other supporting documents...

Philippinesdid u guys signed the DS156 and DS157 forms???
if your petition is Fiance(e) visa (k1) there is an additional form DS156K and at the bottom part of the document it says 'do not write anything below this line' because this has to be signed during the pre-screening of your documents.

Fill out all your forms now. The embassy has given each applicant enough time inorder to prepare the necessary documents. They don't want any means that would cause delays during the interview.

she is having such a difficult time getting her passport and a correct birth certificate. I'm unable to help her and everything is so confused and messed up.

Please IM if you can help


I've been through hell working with my b'certi. too during my k1 process. I was born in manila but basically raised in Cebu City. When I filed for an NSO copy it turns out that my name wasn't registered in their system so I had to write the Registrar's office in Caloocan to pass a copy of my birth certificate to NSO (ASAP). 2 months later still nothing and had to do a follow up letter until they sent me a green paper with an nso prints and signatures to prove that it's a certified copy and worst thing was my name was mispelled and there was a note attached that they couldn't find the original copy and if I want a correction of name I have to pay for it. Though I was so devastated I had to send another letter again this time with our spare copy of the original document that my mom had requested from manila 11 years ago for my college requirements. Got a response from registrar's office in caloocan stated that they have checked their files and found out that they have submitted my b'certi. to NSO way back around 2000. And so, without any delay, wrote a letter to NSO (and with the help of some good samaritan) after a week, I got my NSO copy of b'certi. There was still a discrepancy though (both nso and registrar copy), my mother's first name in my b'certi. isn't the same as on hers. But it didn't cause any trouble with the process or on my interview or whatsoever.

The site is islandrose.net. I like the professionalism and credibility there, and they'd email you for confirmed delivery.

But I'm sure others' would give you more suggestions since there are lots of similar businesses out there.

God bless!!!



is it fraud if it's a wedding ceremony.. I mean not a legal wedding no documents. Only a big wedding with family.

Please let me know.



put it this way,,,you exchange vows with each other and you take an OATH in front of a presider may it be a judge/pastor/mayor, to commit your self with your SO...it may not be documented but in all aspects it still is a marriage...
