PhilippinesFebruary interviews at US Embassy Manila
QUOTE (niceguy26 @ Jan 4 2008, 12:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
do they schedule interviews for K1 at the end of the month too? it seems like everyone has interviews in the first week of each month...


I spoke to a NVC rep yesterday.. I was harassing her on when do I get Interview date. lolz.. biggrin.gif

Here is how she break it down..

NVC schedules Interview appointment for CR/IR applicants. They are being scheduled starting the 2nd week of the month.

USEM schelues Interview appointment for K1/K3 applicants. They are being scheduled on the 1st 2 weeks of the month..

This is what she explained to me..

That is why I still have my hopes for a Feb Interview since I haven't seen/heard any CR/IR appointments being posted yet..

I kept on harassing her about the Interview question.. biggrin.gif I guess she got fed up and told me They would try their very best to put me in Feb. But can't promise me.. No prediction or whatsoever.. biggrin.gif

I have a question..

Doesn't the Petitioner get a Packet 4 as well?

Why can't the petitioner send that one to the Philippines. Instead of waiting..

???

I guess the remainder slots are for CR/IR

I will be surprise If I get an interview for Feb..

Then I can say they split the month in 2.. 1st 2 weeks is for K1 and K3 and 2nd 2 weeks is for CR/IR.

PhilippinesDelbros Verification Fee
You should only pay for the fee if asked by the Consul..

From my experience I have paid at least 3 weeks before my wife's interview and look at where we at now..

Still no Visa.. sad.gif

It really doesn't matter no more..

As per the Consul told me it is not adviseable to pay if not asked..
RoserickNot TellingPhilippines2008-03-23 22:05:00
PhilippinesI'm denied :((
I don't think they ever reached the Interview.. So It wasn't a Interview Denial..

It was denied from the USCIS application..

There is a big chance you can correct this and get it approved..

If you got denied for the Interview.. It will be hard to fight it off..

PhilippinesINTERVIEW OF ROSERICK..?
So I went to USEM and followed up my wife's case @ window X and the lady told me they have made another request for review on March 5. I asked her what was it about, she didn't tell me, she said she cannot disclose such an information.

All she told me was that I am in AR and just wait till they send the visa..

But I insisted I cannot stay such a long time here in the Philippines, I just need to go back with my family..

Then she told me to write a letter and she will give it to the Consul for expedited service request..

Still here in the Philippines with my wife and daughter.. Really in a tight budget here cause I never expected this long delay.. All I expected is at least 2 weeks. It is almost a month now.. sad.gif

I hope we get her Visa soon..

Thanks All for all the support...

Its absurd.. What if the plane ticket was a gift? or was purchased by family member..

I guess I will surely do that... It doesn't make any sense at all..

PhilippinesFlying on Korean Air (E-Ticket) purchased in the US..
I read it somewhere that whenever you fly on E-Ticket they will need to see the Credit Card used to purchase the E-Tickets..

My question is... Do all airlines do this? Also what if you used someone else is credit card to make the purchased like a family member for instance..

Anyone experience this on Korean Airlines?

Philippines? about p/u of visa in Manila
QUOTE (alexandra8886 @ Jan 21 2008, 12:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
its kinda discouraging knowing that request for visa pick-up still depends on their approval.. maybe its just their way to control crowd in the USE..just imagine hundreds of applicants per day & they will be very much open for visa pick-up ..surely they will need another room for line of those visa pick-up applicants...



Yeah just like the Passport releasing in the Philippines.. The crowd is pretty big.. I can imagine VISA too..
RoserickNot TellingPhilippines2008-01-21 07:31:00
Philippines? about p/u of visa in Manila
What is the letter for?

What can you possibly reason for a Visa Pickup?

I mean it is written on the guidelines on not to make travel plans..

I would just ask if I can pick up her Visa. If CO ask me why? I just tell him for no reason, or we go out alot..

PhilippinesOn the day of our 3rd year Wedding Anniversary
I just went out for a walk to watch the sunset while thinking things over of leaving my wife and daughter for my wife not having her visa..

After my drama and decided to go back home, Suddenly I got a call from my wife..

She was so excited and told me to go home immediately..

As I came running home she shouted she got her visa..

A man came on a motorcycle carrying a big envelope with her passport!!

WOW!! God is great... Thank You to all VJers!! After the 2 months wait.. It has paid off..

Now its either I will buy them a rush plane ticket on monday to leave with me on tuesday night or extend my flight again..

God shed a little light yesterday when I called Grace from USEM.. I hope my wife gets her Visa this week or the next..

Grace told me that my wife's case was out of AR since the 5th of April and was given to the Consul Officer.

All we are waiting for is the approval from the consul which I am confident will get approved.

I hope my wife will get her visa soon..

PhilippinesCFO stamp same day as flight, CFO interview done
QUOTE (AllRightsReserved @ Apr 27 2008, 09:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
With much traffic in Manila and the fact that the seminar starts at 10am, I think it will be very uncomfortable for her rushing on things. If I were in her shoes, I'd rather book a flight for the US the following day making sure I have enough time and not be late or miss any flight. This is my idea, you still have to decide.

Thanks...Have a safe trip!


Well I think she's done with the seminar and she's just going there for stamping which starts @ 10am..

Which my wife took last week and it only took her 15 mins for the stamping..

But then again... Its still risky..

Everyone here who got pink slip were approved. She should get her visa soon. Glad she didn't get a white slip which accordingly means a long wait for doc verification.

Why can't people read what's written on the pink slip..

It doesn't say approve!! It even says if visa is not granted Visa Delivery fee is entitled for refund..

did you get a pink slip? if so that means you are approved...be thankful for all your blessings!


Getting the pink slip doesn't mean your approve is if you read what's written on the pink slip.

The approval still depends on the result of the Doc Verification and the Consular Officer's final judgment...

Bottom line is.. You know your approved when you get the VISA!! That's me..

PhilippinesDoes being a nurse jeopardize the approval of k1 visa application?
QUOTE (alienlovechild @ May 1 2008, 05:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I just would like to know if being a nurse will not jeopardize the approval of our K1 visa application. Will the Consul not consider a big deal that the K1 visa beneficiary is a nurse specially during the interview? I'd like to know about this matter.


I don't think so.. Cause either 1 way or another you can apply to come to America with your profession..

Nurse is an in-demand profession here in the US.

PhilippinesHelp... my Interview is coming!
My wife was on IR/CR-1 Category as well..

1st of all.. You gotta RELAX!! Take it one step at a time..

What to bring?

Pictures minimum of 12 ( I suggest more), Proof of your bona fide marriage like love letters with dates, Phone call bills, etc..

NSO documents Your Birth Certificate, Marriage Contract, CENOMAR, Baptismal, NBI Clearance, Basically proofs that your are who you really are..

Spouse 3yrs ITR..

What to pay? Visa Delivery fee Not more than 1000 pesos..

CFO stamping can be done in Manila.. SMEF-COW.

Documents Verification: People here have different opinions about this.. Its your call to follow it or not..

Some people pay in advance so they can get their Docs Verified in advance like what I did and my wife's case still got delayed for 2 months due to the verification.

As per USEM it is not advisable to pay for the Docs Verification as its not the clients call to get it.. Its the Consul's call..

Good Luck on your Interview.. Just Relax.. God is with you.. Also IR-CR-1 Interviews are the easiest ones.

PhilippinesWhat is more preferable schedule to attend the CFO seminar
The Benefit of getting it when you have your visa is you can do the seminar and the stamping all in one day..

The Benefit of getting the seminar is you can do it anytime without the visa, also when your done with the seminar, all you have to do is get your passport stamped which can take only 15 mins.

Yes.... i think so too because i don't pay for the document verification but still i got my visa after 13 working days( maybe i'm just lucky)


Tell you what..

When my wife went on her Interview the consul was even surprised why we paid for the Document Verification.. She was like its their call to asked for it.. But we mentioned that it was advised to do it base on the USEM website, and she just like "ok you need it anyways and were just waiting for the result"..

I asked the consul if my wife was approved... She said she doesn't know till she sees the result of the verification..

Then she just told us to go to the releasing window where we were handed the pink slip and instructions to pay for the Visa Delivery fee..
