PhilippinesNVC to MANILA EMBASSY, HOW LONG?
QUOTE (marea @ Nov 20 2008, 02:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yeah give them 1 to 2 weeks and try calling again, if your MNL case number ready for interview schedule and you could choose your desired date. In the meantime you can now work on the Document Verification which can be downloaded in the USEM website and get instruction there how to pay DV. In most cases this is the cause of delay of VISA issuance because this would take 3 to 4weeks to process... Here's the USEM website in the Phils. http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3024.html you could download here the packet 3.

Goodluck!

mmm.. I think d.v. has been suspended, there are new proceedures that need to be followed....

I had my seminar at Prism and everything went smoothly. But I also think it's a waste of time. For one thing, why give the seminar after the visa was issued or after the marriage with a foreigner? Isn't that too late already? I think that CFO certification is nothing but another way of milking people some money.



you got it right! Same thing my fiance's been telling me.. but we cant do nothing but to OBEY their rules. It's our corrupt government's agenda. They are not even connected to the US EMBASSY! (i think, coz if they were.. US EMBASSY should have told us that we cant get a VISA without a CFO seminar first!)

YES A MILKING FOR SURE. THEY WILL MILK YOU AGAIN AT THE AIRPORT, DEPARTURE TAX AND AIRPORT USER FEE!!! HURRY AND GET ON THE PLANE BEFORE THEY ASK FOR MORE!!!!!! yes.gif

PhilippinesDocument Verification Fee
THERE MAY BE A NEED FOR DOCUMENT VERIFICATION, HOWEVER MABE IT COULD BE DONE IN A WAY THAT WILL NOT DELAY THE VISA ISSUANCE. OUR VISA WAS DELAYED ALMOST THREE MONTHS.
FOR THE ONES THAT CHOSE THE CR1 ROUTE THIS MAKES THE PROSCESS ABOUT SIXTEEN MONTHS. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THE EMBASSY SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR TWO MONTHS BEFORE SUBMITTAL OF DV REQUEST. WE PAID FOR DV JUNE SIX, INTERVIEW WAS AUGUST SIX. THEN WE HAD TO WAIT ALMOST THREE MONTHS FOR THE VISA. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!
THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF AN OLD BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.............

PhilippinesPort of entry question
QUOTE (spartan @ Nov 29 2008, 06:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello to all, I just want to make sure about the port of entry. My port of entry will be hawaii and meet my fiance there cuz we will get married in hawaii and stay for 5 nights before flying to his home place which is California.

My concerns are the following:

Are there some instances that I will be deny in their POE?
I can stay in Hawaii with my fiance for 5 nights or even longer before flying to my fiance's home place, right?

I'm just afraid the immigration in Hawaii would not let me enter their port if I will say that I will stay for a couple of days in Hawaii with my fiance before flying ca. I know I sound funny but I just want to make sure everything will be ok and I need your advices.

Thank you.

YOU NEED TRO QUIT STRESSING ABOUT POE. THEY HAVE NO REASON TO DENY YOU.UNLESS YOU ARE TRYING TO BRING ILLEGAL THINGS IN. AT POE THEY WILL CHECK YOU'RE PAPERS STAMP PASSPORT, THEN SAY WELCOME TO AMERICA.... EVERYTHING WILL BE OK!!!!!

My brother is in the process of a CR-1. His wife is already in Hawaii. He has sent his bio-data to the NVC. He has been given a 4 week time line for his medical appointment. It is now 6 weeks and he hasn't heard a thing. Should he call the U.S. Embassy in Manila? All input will be very helpful. Thanks , Kat

Just thought I would come over and say HI... ok your brother is in the process of a CR1 so his wife is the USC??? his "bio" are you referring to the G325?? or has he already gotten his approval from USCIS and NVC ? Has he gotten his appointment letter from NVC about when his appointment for interivew is? I would love to assist if I can just don't know anymore than what you've given.

Good luck to you and your brother good.gif



Hi thanks for your input. Yeah his wifw is the USC. Yeah he already got an approval from USCIS & NVC. He is just waiting for his medical and interview appointment. My question is, does he have to wait for the NVC or Manila Embassy to schedule his medical and interview or he need to call the USEM to arrange his medical and interview?
Thanks!!!!

she can fax or scan and email the noa2 to him slec will accept this at the medical. no need to schedule medical first come first served basis there. will need passport and three passport style pics at the medical.
I don't think the USEM is doing interviews in December, need to call and verify. there is alot of info here for both medical and the interview.............
don't understand a four week timeline, or where this MISINFORMATION came from. need to complete medical before going to interview. the embassy WILL NOT set any appointments.
