PhilippinesRequesting interview date for non-immigrant visa
Hi

Are you trying to schedule a B1/B2 interview for your mother-in-law?

Please go to http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3024.html . I suggest you log/enroll at Visapoint rather than contact the call center. Visapoint will let you see online available interview dates.

Hope this helps.

PhilippinesTo Keep or not to Keep?
Hi!

Looking at my passport now, I still have the sticker that you mentioned. I forgot to get rid of it when I had my interview.

Not sure if it will be much of an issue since they didnt ask anything about it.

Goodluck on your interview!

PhilippinesMedical, sputum...etc..
Chill, sis! Don't fret too much about it.

Not everyone goes thru sputum test. I didn't go thru it. I guess you will only undergo it if you have a positive x ray result during the medical exam at SLEC.

The "killer" in the medical exam is the looooooooooong wait for it to finish. Long wait for your name to be called to have your vaccination, long wait for you number to be called in the physical exam etc.

Philippinesadvice
I suggest you go for it on Aug 4, Sis!

Just ask your hubby to scan the document and send it to you thru email.

My fiance’s W2, ITR, I-134 as well as Certificate of Employment were all scanned copies sent thru email. I just printed them here and I didn’t encountered any problem at the interview.

Whether or not the document your husband sent thru UPS will arrive in time for Aug 4, at least you have a copy of his I-134 on your interview day.


Goodluck!

PhilippinesScheduling Interview
Hi Sis,

Yes, doing it online is much convenient BUT it is only for Tourist visa.

K1 visa appointments can ONLY be done thru phone.

I've done my B1/B2 appointment thru Visapoint online and K1 appointment thru call center.

Hope this helps.

PhilippinesParents coming for a visit
Congratulations to you and your parents!

My parents are quite the opposite though. They don't want to go out of Phils and set foot in the US..haaaayyy...even though I can coach them on what to say since I've successful got B2 visa.

US embassies are more lenient in giving Tourist visas nowadays since US economy is bad and they need more tourists to spend in their country.

Anyway, I wish your parents a safe trip to the US!

PhilippinesHow can she call me while traveling here?
Hi..

I'm just not sure if this is available in Texas or Fort Lauderdale but when I was in Detroit airport, I used a pay phone (can't remember the provider) to call my then bf (now my fiance) using four (4) quarter cents ($.25). It connected me to him for a few min.

PhilippinesAre there any friendly POEs?
Ohhh my first post was about the luggage at POE but if you are asking about the Immigration Officers at Detroit, they are very friendly. Didn't give me a hard time.

In fact I forgot to fill up the I-194 provided by NWA and he said, I will help you in filling this up since I know this is your first time to be here. Then he guided me to have fingerscanning and asked me where I was going to stay.

He did gave a hard time to the Japanese lady before me though, coz she is having a hard time communicating in English and couldn't exactly say whre she will be staying.

Goodluck!

PhilippinesAre there any friendly POEs?
Hi!

When I visited my then bf (now fiance) last Dec. my POE was Detroit via NWA. I didnt encountered any problems then, I even told the officer that I brought a bottle of Tanduay Rhum with me for my bf and she said "Ma'am you are old enough to have a drink or two". smile.gif

Goodluck!

PhilippinesNOA2 to NVC to USEM...how long?
Hi!

In our case, my fiance received a letter from USCIS April 3 that our case has been approved and its sent to NVC. A week later (April 9) he received another letter this time from NVC stating that our case is being sent to Manila. Another week after that (April 16) Manila received it and by April 21, I received a letter from Manila US Embassy that I can schedule the interview already.

Hope this helps.

PhilippinesFlying ALone
Hi Kilipit!

I agree with T_and_A, better contact the US embassy regarding the small glitch on your visa.

Edp is also right, NWA is at the far right after passing security check.

They also advice that you be at the airport 2 hours before your flight.

Also go to www.nwa.com/ph you can check your itinerary and also view/change your seat from the site. They also offer online check in (you can check in 24 hours prior to your flight so you are really confirmed to take the flight) but you still need to check your bags at the airport of course! The site is also a rich resource on luggage weight/size, movies available on the flight, food that they will be serving etc.

Nagoya is a small airport (compared to Detroit) so as Edp has said, just follow other passengers to go to the security. No need to get your checked luggage they will be the one to transfer it.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Have a safe trip!

PhilippinesWife's family's house in Taytay destroyed in storm
Hi!

I'm sorry to hear this sad news.

This sad thing happens from time to time in the Philippines. I used to come to Taytay, Rizal back in college as my sister lives there. Its pretty ironic too that its so hot here in Colorado right now while Manila and its neighboring towns is being battered by typhoon and flood.

Unfortunately, I don't know any humanitarian visa for your wife's family but my prayers are with them.
