Philippines	What am I doing wrong!!!	Now I'm worried. Back on my post someone has brought up something about a warning on the appointment scheduling links that they are for SB-1 visas only. It says that my interview appointment won't work for other visas. I didn't see that warning, yet I did what I've read to do and was told to do on the phone. I hope that I didn't make a mistake and now have to change the date. How did you get to the appointment scheduling pages you were on? Did you go the same route as I listed in my post through the K-Visa Appointment Scheduling link? Did you see the warning? I'm wondering if you took a different route than I did. Maybe yours is correct and there is a problem with doing K-1 visa online right now. Maybe I went to the wrong links and that's why it worked, yet I will run into more problems later. I hope not. -James Nope, did the same thing you did and went through the K-1 appointment schedule link. That warning is on every page where you enter information.

Philippines	What am I doing wrong!!!	I just scheduled my fiancee's appointment this morning at 3am pacific time. I had some problems because of her daughters passport number not being correct, but after calling the number given above, they told me the correct number and told me to schedule online again. See my recent post about what I had to do. http://www.visajourn...30#entry4557130 When I got to the calendar, I did not have any problems with the calendar going to March. It started out in April just fine. There were about 15 days available in the last have of April with 3 time slots in the morning for each. If they are full now, then wow, that was fast. We selected April 15th even though the 13th and 14th were open as well. -James Well happy that you could get scheduled. I have called the call center and tried online and all I get is that no slots are available. This is way too much stress for me. I am not sure what is going on because I was logged in last night and was getting the no slots available dialog. Been getting that all day also. Call center was absolutely no help at all. Took me 15 minutes for them to understand how my fiancée's name is spelled. After 30 minutes on the phone it was oh sorry no slots available and no way to tell when more will open. If someone can look at the calendar and let me know if they see openings I will call the call center back. Maybe there is something wrong with my fiancée's account. I just don't know at this point. I am at a loss and will be getting up every 2 hours tonight to try and see if anything is open. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-22 21:16:00
Philippines	What am I doing wrong!!!	I would like to know if ANY k-1 visa applicant has been able to schedule an interview online or by calling the call center in the last 18 hours. I constantly get no slots available online and the call center tells me that all slots are filled at this time, even nothing in April. This is #######. I have been trying to schedule constantly since last night and nothing. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-22 19:03:00
Philippines	What am I doing wrong!!!	Is this a 24 hour number or just Manila times? John Answered my own question by calling. It is Manila work hours. I guess I have to wait until their tomorrow. thanks Edited by John+Lourdelie, 22 March 2011 - 09:25 AM.	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-22 09:22:00
Philippines	What am I doing wrong!!!	Go into the scheduling system and entered all her data. When I got to the calendar it says that all slots are filled but is showing me the March calendar, not the April calendar. It will not let me go to the April calendar. All I can do is select OK that all March slots are full, then it exits me out of the system. What am I doing wrong? I am sure that slots are still available for April as I know of one person that just scheduled before me. How do you get to the April calendar. PLEASE HELP thanks, John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-22 08:27:00
Philippines	Booking through Agoda.com	Has anyone book a hotel room in Manila through Agoda.com? If you are not there with your fiancée, how did your deal with the requirement that your fiancée have the credit card and picture id of the person named on the credit card at check-in. That is the requirement on their web site. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-23 23:20:00

Philippines	Unexpected fee's at interview?	once your visa is approve you need to pay the visa delivery.. Maybe when you had your visa delivered last year, but not now!! John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-30 16:47:00
Philippines	Unexpected fee's at interview?	There is no fee for visa delivery. USEM uses 2GO courier service. Their fee is included in your visa fee. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-29 22:31:00
Philippines	Philippine TV	Thanks to all who gave me suggestions. I'm sure that my fiancée will appreciate having a little taste from home to quell the boredom before she is able to work. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-17 08:57:00
Philippines	Philippine TV	Get her a scrub bucket to clean the house, have her clean the cars, have her mow the yard, have her prepared 3 meals per day for you, Have her bath the dog. She don't want to hang around the house watching TV all day, Get her a car and let her drive around, or get her a bike and let her cruise while you are at work.... Your post have never generated anything worthwhile to a conversation. Sorry, but my fiancée is not the cleaning lady. You are now on my ignore list. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-16 09:09:00
Philippines	Philippine TV	She can watch on the web just type in Pinoychannel.com or pinoy365.com. FREE! pinoy365.com looks like it is a good one, but pinoychannel.com is a dating site. Not a TV watching site. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-15 14:20:00
Philippines	Philippine TV	I'm off the cable and satellite grid in that I only have over-the-air TV so it would have to be web based. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-15 13:56:00
Philippines	Philippine TV	Anyone know of a web based Philippine TV / movie site that is reliable, cost effective and not a scam. I want my fiancée to have familiar show to help in her transition here. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-15 13:26:00

Philippines	Medical today	My fiancé is from the phils as well. I was told that she can show up to st. Lukes early in the morning for her medical and it's a first come first serve basis. Is that correct information? Yes, St. Luke's is first come first served. John Hi! Just a quick question... will they (St. Luke's) keep my passport if I go there with just my NOA2 on hand? We're planning to have my medical done before the schedule. Thanks! St. Luke's will keep your passport and send it to the Embassy with your medical results. You will need your MNL case number that was assigned by NVC. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-05 20:10:00
Philippines	Medical today	Well, my fiancée has her medical today and tomorrow. Got our fingers crossed and hoping for no problems. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-05 16:37:00
Philippines	port of entry question on ds-156 form	Knowing the exact date that she will enter the US on is not important. Just put a date that approximates when you think she will be traveling. You should not buy her airline ticket until she has her visa in her hand. I put a date 1 week after my fiancée's interview date. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-05 20:21:00

Philippines	Required Reading for Manila K-1 Visa	My bad. I read it wrong. It had been a long and tiring day. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-07 19:11:00
Philippines	Required Reading for Manila K-1 Visa	Miss information will make life miserable for people trying to get their appointment scheduled. If you don't know, please don't post. DO NOT click on 'Schedule and Appointment' if you are scheduling a K-1 appointment. DO click on 'K-Visa Appointment Scheduling' if you are scheduling a K-1 appointment.

Philippines	Recent Visa Pickup	Anyone here recently complete there interview and had their visa delivered to a 2GO office near the USEM? If so, about how long after visa approval did you get notice that your visa was ready for pickup? John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-31 19:48:00
Philippines	Success	Yesterday she passed her interview. I will give details as i get them. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-13 18:50:00
Philippines	TWO QUESTIONS	My fiancée is going to be staying in Ermita while she waits for her visa to be delivered so I have a couple of questions. 1. Does anyone know of a nice internet café that she can go to that is near the Mabini Mansion Hotel so we can chat? If you know of one, address or directions are appreciated. 2. When she flies out of Manila, what are the taxes / fees that she will be required to pay to depart her country? I want her to bring back the minimum amount of peso to the USA. Thanks in advance, John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-13 19:18:00
Philippines	Important Announcement for Manila k1 beneficiaries	I am wondering if this actually does affect K visa's. Manila handles K-1 & K-2 visa's as immigrant visa's, not non-immigrant visa's. Quote from the K visa page on the US Embassy - Manila web site: Although the K-1 and K-2 visas are described as non-immigrant visas, these visas are processed at the Immigrant Visa Unit at the U.S. Embassy in Manila. Please view the Immigrant Visas pages of this website for more details. The new system is only mentioned on the non-immigrant visa pages and not on the immigrant visa pages, as far as I could find. Maybe someone has found other information that is more complete. John Edited by John+Lourdelie, 17 November 2010 - 08:26 PM.	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2010-11-17 20:26:00
Philippines	Calling about Visa	This is BS. We are stuck in AP for no good reason. They won't tell me anything except that the consular officer still has her file and might be working on it. If they need any other information they will contact my fiancée. I am so pissed off. I don't know what to do. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-19 19:23:00
Philippines	Calling about Visa	Well, i guess we are screwed for this week. I called the Embassy and they said that her visa was not yet printed. The file did not say why it was not printed. I have to call back tomorrow so that they can research what the issue is. I don't understand what could possibly hold up the visa. She was told at end of interview that she passed and to go to the 2Go window when her number was called. Has anyone else had an issue like this?

Philippines	Calling about Visa	Does anyone know who to call and what number to call at the USEM to inquire about if my fiancée's visa has been printed yet? John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-04-18 06:53:00
Philippines	How long before Visa is mailed out	It can vary. My fiancée had her interview on April 13. She passed the interview. The consular officer sat on her visa and would not give a reason. I ended up going to manila to enquire about the problem. Had to write the CO a letter asking for expedite of visa did not get until April 29 (hand picked up at 2GO main office in Pasay).

Philippines	CFO Seminar - PRISM	Yes, she can get the sticker at NAIA. Check their hours of operation. Where do you check? The CFO website only gives locations for Manila and Cebu. Can't find anything about an office at NAIA. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-03-15 13:35:00
