Philippines	How long from interview in Manila to receiving visa/passport?	I got my visa 3 days after the interview...but I still wouldn't plan things until you get your visa and done with CFO...anything can happen. I think you need a bigger allowance for the medical exam and interview.	Cha n Nel	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-08-31 11:18:00

Philippines	Port of Entry	During my POE in LAX  the dude only asked me    1. Purpose of visit/coming to the US 2. Home address   One tip: When lining up...DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE...One tourist was given a hard time by the immigration officer because she failed to immediately follow instructions...

Philippines	After my POE on Aug 21...IR1 Visa Holder	Lol, I haven't really set my mind in getting my Drivers' license. I did apply to some jobs but I am not expecting any results anytime soon...as for the SSN, was really surprised that it was already in my clutches. Wasn't really expecting it until next next week and beyond. If you don't have a driver's license by tomorrow, and a job on Monday, you're not working hard enough.

Ouch...I feel your pain...snd keep on looking forward and pray that everything fromhere on will be fine.   They have to do it themselves otherwise if she does it at a clinic in her province she said it would take up to 20 months because they have to make sure the virus is actually gone.

Philippines	St. Luke’s Medical Exam Walkthrough	Cool thanks Memphis...what a coincidence, I'm booked with that hotel too for my medical, I'm thinking of doing the same for the interview since they have the lowest rate.   Hi. I'm from Cebu too, I checked-in at Casa Bocobo Hotel. For day1 my child and I went there on a Wednesday (July3) around 7-730am and I was finished around 11:30am. For day2, I was asked to return at 730am and my results/ CD was released by 1pm.   Based on my observations, some came in at around 8-9am and were still accommodated. Just be sure to register online for a much faster registration process.	Cha n Nel	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-07-16 10:31:00
Philippines	St. Luke’s Medical Exam Walkthrough	Just booked stuff for this step...I was wondering if I can still show up around 8AM ish and at least get something done since I will be there for 3 days ? On day 1 I take my 5AM flight to MNL then check in at my hotel then show up at SLEC by 7AMish to 9AMish. The next day or Day 2 I get the rest of the stuff done hopeffully everything else then on Day 3 wrap things up and take my return flight to Cebu late in the afternoon.

Philippines	H0TELS in Manila	I booked with Expedia.com, because I worked for the call center that handles their calls.  You may want to look around other sites but so far they had the lowest rate plus I know the booking process.  YES it should be ok as long as the name of the booking or the guest name is yours.  Hmmm the rate could be higher since you have someone with you but it shouldn't reach 2K....my booking was for myself only since I declared I was going to be alone.  I forgot to mention that the booking I made is a pre-paid type booking meaning it was paid in full at the time of reservation.        What website? I heard booking.com offers cheap price. I am not sure though. So, is it OK if he pay for it and not me, as long the name of the guest is me? I also have someone with me, my older sister. Thank you for the reply.	Cha n Nel	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-09-11 09:48:00
Philippines	H0TELS in Manila	Yes it was online. My wife actually is the petitioner. Although I did the booking myself, it should not be a problem if your fiance did the booking as long as YOUR NAME is the guest in the booking.   Wow! Great deal! Did you book it online? Is my fiance allowed to book a room online for me even though he is in the US? Thank you!	Cha n Nel	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-09-11 09:22:00

Philippines	H0TELS in Manila	Casa Bocobo...I travelled alone for the medical and booked their petite room (Room is kinda small) 1.

Right beside a Mcdonalds and Near a chowking and other eating places 4 10 minutes walk from Robinsons place or Robinsons ermita mall 5 Near a BDO, BPi and other banks 6. Free Wifi and acceptably fast 7. Free breakfast 8. Reasonably priced meals 70 - 150 pesos 9. 10 minutes walk to an LRT station Gripe 1. Bigger tv 2. An extra pillow, although I didnt bother to ask	Cha n Nel	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-07-26 02:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Will filing a petition for parents affect the ongoing spousal petition	Hi guys, quick question and her's the deal: My wife is a US Citizen and filed a petition for me which was approved and we are now going through the NVC stage of sendingnthe affidavit of support and etc...now I just got word that she wants to file a petition for her parents and file an i-130 before the week ends since she fears of the reforms thats going to take place. Now my question is will her filing an i-130 affect my ongoing nvc process? Does she need to include them in the affidavit of support we need to fill for my application now? Her parents by the way are still in the philippines. The have multi entry tourist visas and they used to have a greencard through the petition of my wife's grandfather but my in-laws gave it up since they wanted to oversee their respective businesses back home. Anyone who can shed light regardingnthis scenario is very much welcome. Thank you.	Cha n Nel	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-04-02 12:36:00
