US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Medical exam in manila	Hi, No she wont need her passport anymore after the hospital takes it. No need for Birth Certificate. Just advise her to remember the first day of her period coz they will ask her over and over and that to bring reading materials so she wont be bored as the waiting is really really really long. Good luck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-05-24 06:37:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Question about I-134	Hi, My fiance just scanned the signed I-134 form along with his W2, Certificate of Employment (with company letterhead), ITR sent it to my email and I just printed them here.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Confusion on St Luke's and $213.35 US	Don't worry too much about this. Bring around Php 10,500 at St. Luke's on the day of the medical exam this should be enough to cover the fee. They are also posting the exact amount of the $213.35 dollar convertion of that day in pesos at the cashier. Good luck!	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-11-02 12:32:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 MARCH 2012 FILERS	Hi! All, I'm joining this thread for my ROC. Goodluck to all of us and may we all have a smooth sailing processing!	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2012-03-12 19:57:00
Philippines	CFO question	Hi Raeka, From taytay you can just take a jeep to cubao and if you see PSBA St. Mary's is just near that. No need to take a taxi. Hi Krystine, Im not sure where you are from but if you are coming from manila, you just take LRT 2 station (easiest way) and stop at Katipunan station, just walk a little and you will see PSBA and St. Mary's is near that. No need to take a jeep or taxi. Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-05-17 11:00:00
Philippines	Want to bring Sister to US	Hi Ardith, I was able to visit my bf and spent Christmas and New Year there thru B1/B2 visa. Regarding getting the visa, it really depends. It depends on how complete your sister's papers are (please read demonstrating ties http://manila.usemba.../wwwhnv03.html) and how confident she is. Depends on the consul too. If she is confident during the interview she can just breeze through it. It was only a 3 minute interview but I knew that in the first 10 secs of it, I already passed. Sample questions are: What is the purpose of your trip? How can I be sure that you will be coming back to the Philippines? Goodluck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-05-19 23:35:00
Philippines	Passed K1 Interview	Congratulations!!!	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-05-20 08:02:00
Philippines	Best day to do medical	I agree, Tuesday 1pm would be a good time so if they let you come back for more test (hope this doesnt happen) you still have the rest of the week to do it. Btw, I'll also be in Colorado (Windsor.... near Fort Collins) Goodluck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-05-25 08:39:00

Philippines	Tourist Visa - Ties - Show Money	Hi! It depends on the mood of the consul. I was able to visit my bf last Dec using B1/B2 visa. I was employed at that time in a multi national company for just 3 years. I did have a bank account and a property but the consul didnt even asked for any bank statement nor evidence of my property. It depends on how good your friend is in communicating her PURPOSE on said visit. Sample questions: 1. What is the purpose of your visit? 2. How long will you stay ? 3. Who will pay for your visit? 4. How can I be sure that you will come back to the Philippines? Goodluck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-06-01 04:31:00

Philippines	translator or interpreter	Hi! Our fellow VJers are right, USE will provide the interpreter. While waiting for my turn last Nov for my B2 visa interview, I overheard a lady requesting for an interpreter as she is not confident in her English, her friendly CO said that, "Ma'am, we will provide you an interpreter but why dont you try to answer it on your own since the questiosn are easy " I suppose if they are providing an interpreter at the NonImmigrant section, they are providing that in the Immigrant section as well Good luck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-06-13 23:37:00
Philippines	more questions	Hi! Yes you can. I have attended the seminar last May 27 even if I havent had my interview yet. I will just need to come back for the sticker once I have my visa. I'm not sure where you are from but the one I have attended is in St. Mary's in Cubao, you can just walk in no need to make an appointment. You can take the LRT 2 and stop at the Katipunan station. St. Mary's Gold Shepherd Convent 1043 Aurora Blvd. QC 911 1814 9136439 Good Luck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-06-14 00:00:00
Philippines	trip to US?	Hi! It wasn't that hard for me.

Philippines	JUne Medical and Interview Schedzzz..	Hi, Person at the releasing counter is right he cant inform you of the medical results since it is sealed and will be forwarded to the US embassy but if there was a problem or you didnt passed, medical personnel at SLEC will tell you out right if you need further tests. So I guess it means you passed.. congrats and good luck on your interview. Bluerose [/quote] Hi, I just finished my medical exam yesterday (May 22nd). How do you guys know that you "passed"? If you go through immunization and the SLEMC personnel told you that your passport and medical results will be forwarded to the US embassy, does that mean you are good to go? I am concerned because I specifically asked the person at the releasing counter and he said they can't inform me that what the medical results are...

Philippines	tourist visa for my parents	Sa Windsor ako Sis, malapit sa Fort Collins (kina RonMay). San kayo banda? Btw, if you decide to push through with your mom’s tourist visa, ensure that your mom reviews her DS-156 (yup, pareho rin ng para sa K1/K3 – one copy nga lang) kasi tinatanong rin un sa interview, kung saan sa titira dun at sino ang titirhan nya, ilang araw sya dun etc. Hopefully nga mabait un CO na matapat sa mom mo…wag lang kay window 6 (sa 12 atang ininterview nya 2 lang ang inaprove nya…kaloka!) Goodluck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-06-29 22:06:00
Philippines	tourist visa for my parents	I agree with Mrsartis, Sis. You can always try as it is a case to case basis and it depends upon the CO who will interview your mother. Based from my experience last Nov., I have seen people accompany their loved ones in the interview. If you think that your parents can prove that they have compelling ties to come back to the Philippines, then go for it. Just be sure that they bring all the papers (of their assets etc) with them so they are confident in the interview. In my case, the CO DID’NT ask for any bank statements. I was even going to show him the title of my property but he said, “No need, your visa is approved.” Also in another case, if you will research in this forum sometime Nov or January, there was a fellow VJer who posted that her mom got an approved tourist visa even though her mom doesn’t have a job, a bank account etc. and her mom was able to attend her wedding in the States. So it is really a case to case basis. Just prepare for a concrete answer to this: What is the purpose of your visit? (sa tagal ata ng paghihintay ko na matawag ang number ko ito ang laging naririnig ko na unang tinatanong ng mga Consul). A word of caution lang if you say mag totour, be sure na nakapunta na ng kahit anong asian country ang mom mo, kasi baka matanong na bakit di na lang mag tour sa asian country na malapit? Kaya kung di pa sya nakalabas ng bansa, wag mo na lang sabihin magtotour. Back then, I haven’t gone anywhere abroad kaya di ko sinabing mag totour ako but I still got a positive outcome . Also prepare for this: How can I be assured that you will be coming back to the Phils? (this wasn’t ask to me but I heard it was asked to another interviewee…hehehe tsismosa) Hope this help, sis! Goodluck! Bluerose	Bluerose001	Female	Philippines	2009-06-29 10:38:00
