Philippines	November NOA2 approvals for USEM interviewers	QUOTE (Tim Y @ Nov 27 2007, 03:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey just wondering I was looking through different case numbers mnl2007817xxx I am guessing have all been scheduled an interview.. Tell me if I am wrong. mnl2007818xxx I don't think have been assigned an interview date at all as well as nml2007819xxx which is where I lie.. Let me know if any one's number doesn't match my thought Just tring to figure out how soon I will have a date so I can get tickets.

Philippines	November NOA2 approvals for USEM interviewers	QUOTE (captainjeff228 @ Nov 19 2007, 12:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mine was approved on 10/25/07. Called the NVC today they still do not have it. So much for a good new years party.I guess all of our papers are sitting in a crate.The people who handle things like this should understand that this is our lives here not just a piece of paper.just throw it in a crate and forget about it.If it is the shipping costs that is causing this delay then they should just ask us how we want it shipped.I know i would pay for that myself if they would let me.I am sure most of you would do the same.Been almost four weeks since i got the good news and now the waiting starts all over.This is really pissing me off because there are a lot for people who have been sent to the embassy with the same date as mine.I am happy for them.For those of you that have been sent to the embassy already my best wishes to you.May you and your spouse be very happy together. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY I hope NVC is gathering all "USEM" petitons so that we will be one batch when the US Consulate in Manila starts to schedule interviews. Yeah I got my NVC notice on Nov 10, hard copy and I haven't had much luck either.	Abby-Ron	Female	Philippines	2007-11-19 22:58:00

I am looking for someone who tell me what to include in my affidavit since I am self employed..thank you again As long as you can provide Income statements 3 years showing that you make at least 125% of the poverty line, you dont have to disclose your stock and bonds or any other bank assets. You can just put "Not Reported" instead of None. Thats what other petitioners advise to do. Unless you are borderline at the 125% poverty line you may have to show more assets such as money in the bank...	Abby-Ron	Female	Philippines	2007-11-19 22:55:00

Philippines	document varification USEM Manila	Ok I reread this topic over and over and this is what I found, "Applicants whose visa eligibility is dependent upon their marital status (i.e. K-1, K-3, CR-1, IR-1, F-1 and F2-B categories) will normally need to have their documents verified through the National Statistics Office (NSO) before the U.S. Embassy in Manila can issue the visa. Those with a delayed birth or death certificate or only local civil registrar copies of such documents may need to have their documents verified.	Abby-Ron	Female	Philippines	2007-12-11 02:56:00

This is the info she gave me: Go to any Metro Bank and deposit php 650 Account # 7-151-51420-7 Account name : Delbros International Logistics INC Get two deposit slipps one for the bank and one to keep after that is done you will need to send a text message in all capital letters to: TN # 0917-5555-313 USE-MNL case number - first, last, middle name-(branch name)-(dat of deposit)-(time of deposit)-PHP650 Example of date 7 dec 07 day month year She said people that already have interview dates don't need to do this and she was told to start giving this info out yesterday. Thanks to Cadman76 for pointing this out to me, its not an extra fee but a required process which Delbros does, they verify that your beneficiary in the Philippines has a valid birth certificate and is sent to NSO for verification.

Philippines	Bad experience in Philippine Bureau of Customs to pick up a package	I send things to my fiance all the time, and I use door to door (balikbayan box, its only at the most 1 month, people tend to exaggerate, ITS NOT TWO MONTHS, unless you are sending it on a NONAPPROVED US MARINE VESSEL LICENSEE), UPS, FEDEx, Johnny Air (Pick up at MegaMall or delivery to home) and all these services do not go through paying any custom fees, not one peso, not one penny. I've sent a printer, laptop, clothing, lots of other electronic gadgets and never had problems dealing with customs. As long as you know never to send anything via USPS (United States Postal Service). , you will never pay custom fees. Its already stated in USPS that you are required to pay customs regardless of the US laws, since you are using Postal service from the Philippines. Sometimes, let me rephrase that, most of the people don't read or ask about custom fees when sending things through USPS. YOU EVEN FILL OUT A DECLARATION SAYING THAT YOU OR THE RECEIPIENT WILL PAY CUSTOM FEES FOR INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES WHEN YOU SEND THINGS VIA USPS.	Abby-Ron	Female	Philippines	2008-03-01 01:29:00

You can take the scheduled medical exam as indicated on Packet 4 (which is usually 1 week prior to your interview at the Embassy) or as the majority of us, take it before the "scheduled" date. I'ts advise to take the medical no more than 1 month prior to your interivew at the Embassy or the US Embassy will make you retake the medical exam as the results will be invalid if its not within a 1 month timeframe. By taking the medical exam early, it guarantees that the US Embassy has enough time to review your result just in case your results come back late, and two, if during the exam, there are problems that arise, you have a chance to fix whatever problems may arise or finds during the exam...

A nice lady from the embassy called me this afternoon and told me that they have mailed out my visa this morning so i should be getting it on monday Congrats!! I was just wondering, you do know that you are posting in a regional board right? "General Discussion Area > Regional Discussion > Philippines" Thats why 99.99% are petition concerning Philippines as we are tryin to track how fast Manila Embassy sends out the petitions to Delbros if we cant get a local pickup...
