Philippines	nvc	check out Sheriff Uling's guide.. 4.6 St. Luke's Extension Clinic (SLEC) information is within my signature. The beneficiary and derivative(s) are required to have medical exam(s) and vaccination shots before a visa can be issued (per the US Immigration Laws) and should be taken before the visa interview. The medical exam, adminstered by SLEC, is a two days process: Day 1 is the medical exam whereas the beneficiary's passport will be taken and sent to the USE along with the medical exam results and; Day 2 is the vaccination whereas the beneficiary will be given the x-ray film and the DS-3025 Vaccination Worksheet/Record at the conclusion. Please review this instructional and layout information [CLICK HERE] (Thx Sillygirl), SLEC's Flowcharts for Day 1 and Day 2 of the Medical Exam [CLICK HERE] (Thx Rea), as well as the Manila Embassy Thread's recommendations on what to bring and sample questions asked [CLICK HERE]. Be advised, the beneficiary's medical exam will be scheduled one week before the visa interview by the USE. Per the Manila Embassy Thread, we recommend that the beneficiary take the medical exam anywhere from 2 weeks to a month before the interview to ensure the results are available for the Consular Officer and to prepare in the unfortunate event of unfavorable medical results. If the medical exam is taken anytime over a month before the visa interview, there is a risk that the results could be invalid, which means the beneficiary will have to take another medical exam before the visa can be approved. The beneficiary may re-schedule the medical exam appointment with SLEC after the medical exam and visa interview dates are assigned by calling SLEC. On the medical exam appointment date, please don't forget to bring the medical exam fee (payment accepted in pesos only), passport (SLEC will keep the passport and delivery it to the USE along with the medical exam results), appointment letter (if NOT received by the beneficary, then see SLEC NOTE below), three 2x2 passport photos (the required dimensions of all passport photos are stated on page 8 of Packet 4, which is referenced in Section 4.3). The beneficiary also needs to have the sponsors contact information (address, phone number, and ssn #) for the SLEC forms. SLEC NOTE: If the Manila Embassy does NOT mail the beneficiary a copy of Packet 4 and the Appointment Letter, then call SLEC and request to pick them up at SLEC (it should be available after 2 - 3 business days from the date of the request for the Manila Embassy to delivery the package to SLEC). Before proceeding with the request to pick up Packet 4 and the Appointment Letter from SLEC, please validate whether the appointments have been set by either calling the USE (Section 4.3), calling DOS (Section 4.4), or checking the Visa Interview Appointments website (Section 4.5). Please take a copy of the NOA2, a copy of the NVC letter (which should have the beneficiary's Manila case number on it), and a print-out of the scheduled appointment dates from the Visa Interview Appointments website during the SLEC visit to pick up Packet 4 and the Appointment Letter.

Philippines	Delivery or Pick up of Visa ?	Just wanting to know how long it will take for the visa to be deliverd if my fiance' is in Negros Occ. We want to book her flight to the US as soon as possible. Or can she pick up the visa from the Embassy just before her flight? She wants to leave 2 weeks after the interview. Her chances of getting approval for VISA pick-up are almost 0 if she is alone at the interview. It's a little better if you are there and present a written request for pick-up to the CO, explaining your reason for the request. I was there and was succesful in getting pick-up approved, but others there with us were not. I had a written request. She will need to get her CFO stamp after she gets her passport/VISA anyway, so you need to allow time for that. Delivery to most metro areas usually runs a week or so, but remote areas take longer, maybe 2 weeks or even more is possible. Good Day garya, My fiance and I are planning to pick my visa too after approval hopefully too... Should he write a letter request still even if he will be with me during interview? and to whom should we address the letter? What are the valid reasons should be written to have an approval for pick -up?? Thanks for taking time for this query.. God bless. Riza and ED	ED*Riza	Female	Philippines	2007-08-15 19:28:00

On March 1st, a court issues a final decree that the marriage on February 1st is annulled and never existed. Now his status is Single (never married). Joe can provide proof that he is single (never married) by showing his court issued final annullment decree. hmmmmmmmm......you have the idea skyblue06 and ryza, See u at the embassy! riza	ED*Riza	Female	Philippines	2007-09-08 18:02:00
