US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionAny one with OVERSEAS BROKER EXPERIENCE

Anyone here have any experience with overseas brokers?

My Salve has her interview on the 19th of this month and only recieve notification and medical papers last thursday. She just called me to tell me the broker said maybe next Thursday or Friday before she can get her passport for medical. to me that is not enought time for medical and results before interview. My Salve works from7pm. to 7am. She is going to her broker afterwork to see the problem. to me it is about money. I told her to talk to him and if he refuses to offer a BRIBE (more money) If not she will not have her medical done before interview.

Can anyone help us? She is in Taiwanif that helps.


When you say broker, is that the agent/agency she is under contract with?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMEDICAL EXAM

This is strange, so watch out for this at St. Luke's!!!

So, my fiancee is there in Manila and plans to go to St. Luke's on 1/10 (Wednesday) first thing in the morning, like 4AM or 5AM. She is done with her other stuff at about 9:30AM on 1/9 (Tuesday) so she figures she'll go over to St. Lukes so she knows how to find it and maybe she can pick up the forms and fill them up in advance to save some time (she's a smart woman). So she gets there and the guard says they are not full yet so she can go ahead and start the medical exam right away. Huh? :o So I just talked to her and I think she has only the vital signs, eye check, physical exam (you know, the "private parts" inspection!), and immunization interview. I guess she will finish up tomorrow with the immunizations. :lol:


That's good!

Just a note though... you really don't have to go to St. Luke's at the crack of dawn to get you medical done that day. I went there at 12noon to avoid the crowd (my excuse for not being a morning person :D ) and had no problem.

Almost done with the K1 process garya! :thumbs:

asks you to spread the legs, then turn over and spread your butt cheeks[/b]. then it was all done.



Spread legs and butt cheeks?? :o :o :blink:

Is that how the medical exam go? :blush: :blush:

Oh well.. For Doctors and staff that is nothing/normal for thier everyday job..I'll do it just to be with my baby but still Im sooooo :blush:


I guess I'm lucky I got a nice doctor. She didn't ask me to spread my legs and my butt cheeks. Although she did take a quick peep there while i was lying on my side with my knees touching my chest. :blush: :blush:

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionManila Visa Interview
She can ask the consul if she can pick up the visa (before she goes out of the cubicle). It will normally be ready for pick up the next day or two days after.

I picked mine up but my fiance was with me and he was the one who asked.

When visa is approved at the Manila Interview, can your fiancée pick the visa up in person a few days later, instead of using Delbros since she will in Manila and lives in Providence? :whistle:

Does anyone have any experience or know this answer: How many days?
:)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSt. Lukes Medical Center requirements

Hi Iya,

Just curious since you had your medical. Are there really a lot of people line up for early morning schedule? Are you allowed to bring a bag where you can put your celphone.. etc...USEM interview doesnt allow you to bring any though except whats needed for the interview. I certainly would print sillygirls medical exp as others who had their med says its very helpful. hope to get a response.

Gra


Hi there.

You don't need to line up early in the morning for your medical. I am not really a morning person ( :blush: ) so I went there at noon and still got everything for the first day done by 4pm. And yes, you can bring a bag and your cellphone with you.

Good luck!

For packet 4, courier mail. I'm not so sure about packet 3 but I'm pretty sure it will be through courier also.

Hello, I would like to know is packet 3 and 4 sent out by regular mail or Currier?

Thank you,

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hang in there! (F)

NO VISA 221g.....

Well Lorna was refused a visa. They said she needs a co-sponsor. Even though my property assets were way over the minmum allowed for property assets.

My craft business has been really bad the last couple of years so my income is way below minimum. Thats why I used property assets.

And the CO was talking to her about how would I support us and how could she even afford the plane ticket.

Thing is a co-sponsor has nothing to do with my income and how I will support us. That is just to take care of public charge stuff.... which my property assets could have done.

Bummer is I have no one to be a co-sponsor. I don't know what to do now.

My spirit is really hurting. All that time, work and effort....and stress. Now this. Wow.
Mike

With regards to the proof of ongoing relationship, it's actually the pre-screener who asks for those. He/or she will let you know how much he/she needs. Then when you go to the consul, he/she will return those to you.

Quick question to those who have gone with the interview process...When the consul ask for documents of on-going relationship or bona-fide relationship ( I know we need to present letters/cards, emails, phone call logs, etc... ); we made copies of all those documents...should we provide the copies and show the originals OR just show the original documents? If COPIES only, how many ( just average ) you will show to the Consul? Can you give the whole stack of copies? :innocent:

Need your advise. Thank you!


Ano
I'm not sure if I got your question right but I'll give it a shot. :lol:

If your fiancee has never been married, then you can just write NONE to Other surnames used and Other first and Middle names used (which I think is number 8 & 9). ;)

I am requesting your comments and guidance about a question I have on surnames in the Philippines on the DS 156 form.

Questions 18 (Other Surnames) and 19 (Other First and Middle Names Used).

Since the last name of the mother becomes the part of the name of the child, should you list the mother's surname in question 18 or 19 for your fiancée?

(Yes I used the search feature, most the results were about married surnames, and hits on name checks, LOL, so any clarification would be appreciated).

Thanks,

Robert

Hey, skeeter211 finally woke up! :P About the annotated certificate, I'm afraid you need to have that on your interview or else you'll be put on AR. That happened to Patiently Waiting. You can check with her when she comes back. I hope you get it in time.

Congratulations Michael_and_Milahjean! :thumbs:

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionManila Embassy Interview

For those of who don't know, there are "consolidators" or "bucket shops" that buy international airline tickets only in bulk from the various airlines, then resell them to the flying public. These usually have several "representatives", which are usually a home based business kind of deal. There is some risk involved, but I have never had a problem using them. There are some serious restrictions using them, like not being able to reschedule your flights without some serious penalties. Also they will sometimes not be able to give you the dates you want. During the high seasons, like Christmas, you can forget it, they don';t have any tickets to sell. The one I use most of the time is JJ Bargain Travel. It is owned a fil-am couple in Brea, CA. Very nice couple, but it is not a travel agency so don't expect too much. Their web site is: http://www.jjbargain...;OVMTC=standard

The seats and everything is else is the same as buying from a travel agent or the airlines themselves, including using your frequent flyer miles number


thanks for the info! I'll check it out.

Hey, that is a good deal for a round trip ticket. Can you share what consolidatior you used? :D I'm looking for the cheapest ticket I can find for a trip back to the Phils.

I purchased our tickets on Northwest Airlines. Her ticket, one way from Manila to Oklahoma city was $900. I purchased mine thru a consolidator for $975 round trip.

If you've never been outside of the Philippines, you only need the NBI clearance. Preferably dated 6months before your interview date.

Hi I'm just new here just want to ask do I still need to have a police clearance... I believe it's only needed if you have been outside the country right...

Thanks for sharing.

Hi everyone,
It's been a while and there's a lot of stuff to catch up here. good luck to those who already got their visa and interview date. I want to share a little something about our wedding. You all are part of making it possible for us. Thank you so much!

Our Wedding

That's great! Best of luck on the interview. You can focus all your anxiety on that now. :P :lol:

Michael,
Haven't had time to get anxious about the interview, hehehe! Been losin sleep over this ID #######. Today Lorna got a new postal ID with her married name. Slipped the postal worker $4.00 and it was done in 1 day instead of 5. :-) So NOW I can get anxious about the interview.
I wish you the best and a quick and positive interview!!

Bernie, You are on the stage.... Best of everything and God bless! Be sure to post here so we can see how things went!
Mike

Just to add a little controversy since it's been a little quite here. :devil: :lol:

Why not book the domestic flights in their maiden name wherein they have other photo IDs that they can show? They are not really asking one's marital status when letting people check in for boarding.

Even in international flights, one has to use whatever name is in their passport regardless of their marital status (if they haven't gotten around to changing it) otherwise, they will not be allowed to board.

Just a thought.

Wow Mike, thanks for the heads up on this. Only the few CR-1s and K-3s here have to be concerned about this new twist. My asawa is enroute to Manila now for her interview. Similar to your wife, the only ID she has with her married name is her passport, and she doesn't have that now. I'm arriving to meet her on March 25 and then we are planning to fly from Manila to Tacloban on March 28, and we are hoping that her visa will be delivered to her in Manila by then (please, please, please). Now I know why I have been blocked from making online reservations by the Cebu Pacific website, coz I would have used her married name to make her reservation. (No matter what I try to do I cannot get the Cebu Pacific website to accept payment.) We have planned that after she has her interview, she'll make our flight arrangements then. Unless she has a new postal ID in her married name, I'll suggest that she use her maiden name just to be sure. If we have no AR delay and she receives her visa, she can use either ID. By the way, I've emailed my US Rep regarding her case and upcoming interview. Haven't a clue if it will help or hurt.

Are you getting maybe a wee bit anxious there??? Bernie and Sherwin, you're up the day before us...how ya doin'???

May God bless all of us with that glorious visa!!!

CHANGES AT AIRPORT CONCERNING ID CHECK

Hi, Lorna just ran into a problem at Manila airport.

Since St. Lukes kept her Passport she no longer had a photo ID with her new married last name. All of her other IDs have her maiden name.

Thank you,,,,,Silly Girl......

Our problem is that-------mails from US and Manila Embassy are usually stolen in that area.

And I know that Packet 4 is just sent by ordinary mail.

My parents have no choice but to go to St. Luke's.

They need the Interview letter from Manila Embassy.


Packet 4 is delivered through courier also, not postal mail. Mine was delivered by DHL and the guy asked to see my id/passport before he released it to me.

The time to really rush to have the interview letter is when they have interview and medical dates already and are planning on having the medical earlier than scheduled.

Maybe give it a little more time so as not to tire out your parents. It is really hot in Manila right now. But again, that's just me. :yes: (F)

What happens during the one on one counseling during the CFO?


The counselor just aks questions about the two of you and sometimes, asks to see pictures too. Pretty much the same as trying to see if there is a genuine relationship. Oh, and if the lady knows what she is getting herself into! :lol: (F)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionManila Embassy Interview

hello Sheriff Uling, and other VJ members,

I need your advice /help.

I called Manila Embassy and Lorraine agreed to send Packet 4 to St. Luke's for pick-up.

My parents were there (St. Luke's) on the day and time Lorraine specified (Window ____ ).

But the employees there asked my mom/dad to come back again. The clinic was overwhelmingly flooded with packet 4 from Manila Embassy. THEY CHOSE NOT TO LOOK FOR IT,,,,because of the many people inside.

Any suggestions on how to convince any St. Luke's employee to swim thru those enormous number of packets, and look for my parents'?

May I hear from the others who sent their Darlings to St. Luke's for pick-up of the packet?

I felt bad for sending my aging parents there.........it is HOT and HUMID in the Philippines right now.

And I did not want to make them tired. They were disappointed yesterday.


I would suggest calling St. Luke's beforehand just to be sure that they have the packet already. I went there when Lorraine told me to and they don't have the packet yet. I had to go back another day. But then again, calling St. Luke's and getting through are two different things :lol: . I got the feeling that they don't really like to answer the phone. It was after the nth redial that someone answered.

Or, if possible, they can go early in the morning or right at noon. It gets a little slow at noon.

Another option is to just wait for the packet so as not to send them back there. All the forms in the packet are in the embassy's webpage and can be downloaded. The packet usually arrives a month after the emabssy sends it out (that was last year, i'm not sure if it takes longer now) so the wait for the appointment letter isn't that long.

Hope that helps somewhat. :)

Hi! This is Jinky! :D We arrived in LAX, Friday, March 2nd and made it through immigration after about 30 minutes. The immigration officer looked very strict and he asked me where is Job's father. I asked him to repeat himself and then he asked if I was married to Job's father. So I just answered him, NO. Before I left, he told me if I don't want to get married that I can always go back to the Philippines...bwahahahaha. He only looked strict but he was okay - he even said, Welcome. So, after that we got our luggage. They didn't even ask for the x-rays.

I'm with my Steven now and he took us to an asian market on Saturday where I found so many home products - kangkong, calderita mix, chicken feet, and Filipino foods. I even bought Datu Puti vinegar...hehehe.

At the back of our churches weekly announcements, I found 3 Filipino dentists in our area. The church we go to has a community of Filipino's and Vietnamese.

I'll keep you all updated to a new life here!

Welcome to sunny and beautiful California. I can't wait until you get settled in so we can hang out with you... YEAH!!!


Why am I the only one in the midwest?

I would just DIE of envy when you have your get together. :crying:

The urine was for a pregnancy test, though.. I was at the very last day of my period when I did my medical, and I had no problems. The only violent reaction came from the doc in the physical exam room. I guess she was afraid I would bleed all over her pristine-white sheets.. :lol: After being assured that I had next-to-no-bleeding going on, we proceeded with the physical.


That is why it is recommended to have the medical without the monthly visitor. :yes:

Blood in the urine may cause problems, eventhough both you and the med tech knows that is just because of the monthly period. With all the inconsistencies in the medical procedure, it's best to avoid possible problems - at least ones that the beneficiary can control.
