PhilippinesMedical Exam
QUOTE (Conan @ Jan 3 2009, 02:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I keep reading that the fiance needs a medical exam before the interview. How soon can this be done? Is there any rule against doing it before receiving the NOA2 just to get it done? If so what is the absolute earliest it can be done? Thanks


I have to answer in 2 parts.

No more than 6 months before interview according to the embassy website

You need to have an interveiw date set before you do medical because they are going to keep the passport and forward it to the embassy with the results of the medical, the passport will be shipped back with the visa. Also the guard at the door is going to ask to see your letter for interview at embassy before they let you in to do medical.

PhilippinesTravel Agency
Congradulations on visa. We just purchased tickets direct from the airlines, but not in Manila, we purchased in General Santos, The only problem we had was the ticket office there had been closed for the holidays and we couldnt buy the tickets until Jan 5, but we got tickets on the date we wanted and Radz flys out on Jan 14. Sorry cant be of any help with purchasing from a travel agency. Good Luck

PhilippinesDelbros
You should be thankful for Delbros delivery, if it was sent through the RP post office, the odds are it would get lost or stolen. The delievery fee is small compared to what it would cost for UPS or Fedex in the US and they make you show picture id to get the packet. I guess im just ranting because of all the letters and stuff I sent that never arrived to my SO. so i have no faith in the postal system there. Good Luck

PhilippinesI live in Iowa
I have had the same thoughts even though my SO says its not going to be a problem Good Luck to you and thats nice that you have thought about that, we are kind of far away in Tennessee.

PhilippinesShipment Returned for Re-Attempt! Visa Delivery
I know after Radz checked papers from Delbros when she got back home and found out they had written down her address incorrect. So she called them and they had her email correct address with case number. She was interviewed Dec 19 and got deleivery Dec 30 they deliever her via, but not with out calling her from Digos first because deliever guy didnt know how to find her place, After she got the call it was delievered a couple hours later.

PhilippinesWHAT IS CFO??
You attend CFO before you leave the country, Most do it around interview time or after. If you do it before interview or before you get visa you just get a cetificate which you show after you receve your visa and they put a stamp on the visa or you can go after you get your visa and get the stamp on it when you attend. You must have this stamp on your visa before they will let you board the plane to leave the country.

PhilippinesQuestion po about Medical and Interview
no appointment for medical its first come first serve, he needs to bring ID 2 or 3 passport photos (2x2 white background) and letter from embassy along with his passport. He can do his medical anytime now they advise to do it at least one week before interview. I have heard some say its faster to do medical in afternoon but I dont know this for sure. Radz was there when they opened. Good Luck
RadzNSteveMalePhilippines2009-01-10 13:25:00
PhilippinesNVC letter
Some one else had that happen to them a while back they had not gotten Noa2 from the service center but kept getting emails from NVC saying there case had been forwarded to manila embassy.

Oh well Good Luck, you should be able to set up interview date in the next week or 2.
RadzNSteveMalePhilippines2009-01-11 05:37:00
Philippineshow to know if your visa will delivered soon..?
Radz got approved on Interview on Dec 19 and visa was deleivered on Dec 30, she lives in Bansalan on Mindanao province of Davao Del Sur. She recieved several text from delbros about her visa and she also checked the status of her case online with the reciept number they gave her. The morning they were going to deliever her visa packet she got a text saying Perpair you ID visa is out for deleivery ( i may have the wording off a little) but that is basicly it. I think she recieved 3 or 4 text from delbros updating her on the status of her visa delievery before that last one. Good Luck cezychic. so happy for you and thanks for posting that picture of you and SO on the flying brooms that was so cool. kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

PhilippinesJust called Manila
I called the embassy a week after the packet left NVC. they said to call back in two or three weeks packet wasnt there yet. I called back the following monday and they set us for interview. I dont know if they are backloged now or not but that was in Nov I called and we got an interview date of Dec 19, I could have gotten a date 2 weeks earlier but Radz had to fly in from Mindanao so I set it a little futher back. We have finished everything now she ie getting cfo sticker today and flys out Jan 14. Good Luck

Philippinesinterview appointment
We paid the fee first but we paid before we were able to set appointment, we paid it as soon as we got our MNL#. But I dont think it really matters which one you do first. You will get a machine validated form from BDO showing you have paid which you give to the embassy at your interview. Good Luck

PhilippinesFiancee taken to Anti-Fraud unit interview
The only thing i can guess is there was something in the packet or said in the interview that sent up a red flag, that caused them to contact the visa fraud unit and do extra interviews, I imagine they are going to do some more background checks and what ever else is protcol in these matters.

PhilippinesVery worried about the Medical
Radz was nervious to and went to clinic for a check up, But still got nervious again for the medical. Just be supportive its all you can do, I can tell you I felt the stress to on my end, I worried every step of the way with her.
RadzNSteveMalePhilippines2009-01-19 21:17:00
Philippinesexcited and nervous
Its normal to be nervious, something would probably be wrong if you were not. The interview is not that bad. Radz was so nervious the night before the interview, ( I was to for that matter) I called and talked to her that evening. She said whe she walked through the embassy door she felt more relaxed and the interview was not bad at all. Good Luck to you.
