PhilippinesSCHEDULED VISA APPOINTMENT.TOO FAST?HELP
Your right Tahoma. I'll be fine. Just called Nvc and they told me that my case was complete and it was shipped yesterday at USEM Manila. So it was just all perfect timing I think. My papers will be ready by the time of my interview. Right now starting to get things started! Will get my NBI tomorrow hopefully no hassles will happen.

PhilippinesSCHEDULED VISA APPOINTMENT.TOO FAST?HELP

Ok so this is what happened. I got the EMAIL from the NVC stating our MNL number on JULY 26,2013. Then I paid today JULY 29,2013 and scheduled it after 6 hours, and I got my visa interview scheduled on AUGUST 19,2013. Am I being so fast? Do you think I am on the safe zone that my papers will reach the USEM at the time of my interview? Im pretty nervouscray5ol.gif

PhilippinesReaction to Immunizations
Wow glad to read this topic. I didnt know that there will be side effects after having shots. I am currently employed at Starbucks. I am planning to make a 2days absent for my 2 days medical this aug 8-9 and be back at work at aug 10. Seems like i wont be able to work right after getting my medical. Coz my work wasnt easy at all, not an officework like any others. You guys think I should extend my leave of absence? For how any days? Im worried that I'll feel weak.

PhilippinesManila flooding - Embassy status?
I called them and told me to reschedule after 24 hours and check the available dates on their calendar. Afraid that there would be no more early slots for august huhu

PhilippinesManila flooding - Embassy status?

I know I am worried too since my fiance has interview on Tuesday as well and he will be coming from Batangas but will check into a hotel tonight nearby the embassy.



Im from laguna. Just near batangas. There is no more way to manila, slex was closed. Tell him to travel a little bit later and stay on tv if the water on slex will subside. I tell you I was there I didnt make it. Its crazy. No more bus to manila


MJandJONFemalePhilippines2013-08-18 21:30:00
PhilippinesManila flooding - Embassy status?

Oh no. Janen's flight to Manila was delayed. She is suppose to be going to CFO today to get sticker. Anyone know if the CFO office is opened today?



CFO is closed today. All government offices in manila are closed. We were all stranded.

PhilippinesHelp in Rescheduling Pls
Yes that was the number im trying to put it. This is stressing me out. Can't wait for tomorrow morning so i'll know whats going on. Yes i'll do that, for sure i will call them. Thanks green
MJandJONFemalePhilippines2013-08-19 11:42:00
PhilippinesHelp in Rescheduling Pls

So I had my interview set today but didn't make it to manila because of severe flood. I called their hotline this morning and they told me to resched the interview after 24hours with no charge at all since it was an immigrant visa. (that's what they told me) Now as soon as the clock turns 12midnight August 20, I assume that I can already make another appointment since its  August 20 already. But then as I was doing it when it comes to "put the receipt number", this is what it says,

"No valid record can be found for the entered receipt number. Please validate that your receipt number is correct and that you have paid the correct amount for the visa which you are applying for    

WHAT???? Im sure im not going to pay again, but why does this happens?crying.gif 

Anyone there same as me? huhuhuhu 

 

 

This journey drives me nuts.cry.gif

PhilippinesBE SAFE!!! To my fellow VJ's here in the Philippines...

My fiance lives in Tanauan Batangas luckily where he lives doesn't get flooded as it is not a low area. He was supposed to have his interview today and still went to the embassy since they made their announcement late again....he left Tanauan around 3:30am and got to the embassy around 5:30 took him about 2hrs and he stayed at internet cafe for an hour to let me know he was safe. 



Does your fiance got a white paper? That was given at the gate?

 UGH! I bet it was difficult without a handle!girlwerewolf2xn.gif  Better to buy a small tabo na lang noh? HAHA there are small walis tambo I think to fit in your luggage. HIHI. 

Haha! Buy a lot of pancit canton coz its too expensive there, $2 each convert to peso its almost P160. Thats a dozen of pancit canton chilimansi already, my favorite hehehe. when are you flying? i want to fly too but no wingssleepy.gif


MJandJONFemalePhilippines2013-08-20 06:43:00
PhilippinesWhat are the first things you should do when you arrive in the USA

Aside from rice, do filipino stores also sell tabo? Or also known as dipper. You know. We Pinoy don't really use tissue. I was thinking of buying one but my luggage is already too bulky where will I out that lol



Hahaha your so funny! While i was in the states i cant find tabo so what i did i used and recycled the gallon of water (yung pinaglagyan ng inuming tubig, ginupit ko para magmukang tabo haha!) im thinking of bringing walis tambo also, bcoz what they used to sweep the floor was so hard, cant clean really well unlike walis tambo that can take the dust easily hehehe :D :D


MJandJONFemalePhilippines2013-08-20 02:53:00
PhilippinesWhat are the first things you should do when you arrive in the USA

Things to do before she arrives:

1. Get rid of the "hehehe" laugh because it's how Filipinas laugh. It's not a guy-thing.

2. Don't switch your laugh to "jijiji" because that's how a Filipina jejemon laughs.






bwahahaha! That is soo funny. Hehe :D

PhilippinesWhat are the first things you should do when you arrive in the USA

The first thing  I will do when I get there was to EAT dancin5hr.gif .  Get a cocktail, my favorite amaretto sour and a medium well rib eye steak. That is what I missed in the States, cocktails and steaks are expensive here in PH. crying.gif  But my fiance already knows where to take me when I landed off the plane! So excited!! weeeedancin5hr.gif

Philippinespampanga k1 applicants?

Yep.  I experienced that need to go 10 mins. away because we have luggages, Taxi driver insisted no need for meters.  Instead of giving them generous tip I will give exact amount they deserve!  

 

Whenever they see that Pinay with White Guy, they just want to take advantage of it however if they felt that you are not from Manila they will do the same thing.  Sad but it is happening.  Worst they will take you in a long route just to let you pay bigger.

so true that is why i dont take cabs. when i do sometimes, i make away with the driver because he wants to fool me with the payment. devil.gif

If you'll ride LRT, go down to QUIRINO station, from there you can walk for 10mins and the CFO building is just straight from quirino. You can also ride a pedicab only for 20pesos and they will take you to the CFO.

If it was me I will just cancel the interview than to get a 221g, plus its risky on thursday, we are all not sure if its gonna open or not. I mean we cant tell the weather, we all thought that USEM will open today since it was closed yesterday but were wrong. But it is still up to you. That was just my opinion if I were on your shoes.idea9dv.gif

i know thats why i've been makulet. he is leaving his country kc and we will lost communication for more than a month thats why before he leaves tomorrow he wants to settle everything first. i dont want him to book a flight yet but no choice.

Why dont you just asked him to send you the money, and youll be the one to buy it here. If you dont know how much, just estimate everything.

sorry i didnt get your answer on the first one? i only got your answer in my own thread. i have a situation here kasi, i have to know if its approve or not today so my guy can make a travel arrangement already because there is no way he can do that after today. i cant contact the usem because of the flood and its holiday today. thank you for all the answers i appreciate it alot:)

do not make travel arrangements first until you got the visa on hand. you never know what will happen in the future. better be safe, it can save more $$$$

PhilippinesIs it time to pack my things? CEAC Status - ISSUED

Hi,

 

I did a little research.  The way I see it she wasn't able to get an answer when Keine28 posted the below question 10:24am in this thread.

 

Then she start another topic "Passed or not?" at 11:00am an interval of 36 mins, now I haven't seen the 3rd one I guess I stop looking.  My point I hope Keine28 already got the answer to her queries.

 

Don't make yourself confused on things.  My understanding when the CO did not say anything and did not RETURN the passport it means you PASSED the interview.  Because if NOT the passport will be given back to you with a piece of paper with a note why you were denied.

 

Most of the time with my own experience, before I shoot a question, I religiously read first on different threads relating to my question then I find some answers.  

 

CEAC STATUS....... is out of our control.  No one can give us the RIGHT ANSWERS.  Perhaps some thoughts or answers were only given based on their own experiences.  

 

All we can do now is wait for MIRACLE.... I myself have some confusions..... but can't do anything aside from WAITING..... patiently.....

 

I am so glad VJ forum is here.... willing to contribute, help and encourage one another. 

 

Cheers,

 

Just sharing my thought about this.

PhilippinesIs it time to pack my things? CEAC Status - ISSUED

I agree patience is really being tested. I waited for almost a month to get this interview but now if USEM is still closed tomorrow I may have to wait until September if there are no available slots for August sad.png Lucky you at least you got interviewed already. Really sucks for most of us that have waited for this day to come and have to do some more waiting because of the typhoon. It would really suck if this typhoon goes on until Thursday because that will be a lot of people that needs to be rescheduled sad.png Hoping for the best that the rain will stop and not come back.

really? usem is still close for tomorrow? and then on wednesday its holiday.
