US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	my interview	Hi everyone, just got back from manila.. My interview was last August 9... and i'm APPROVED!!!! woohooo!!! thanks for all the help from you guys, I remember when i was still starting this whole k1 process and i thought it was almost impossible, but hey, I got my K-APPROVED card now and I can be with my fiance soon... and that's all that really matters. Until i have the visa with me, I will finally have control of my life again and not at someone else's (USCIS, etc.) hands. I WILL SOON BE FREE!!	djcess	Not Telling	Philippines	2006-08-11 07:35:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134 question	Thanks for the examples...quick, simple and to the point...that's what I'm after! ...oh, and also reminding you to notarize the I-134 Affidavit of Support but i'm sure you know that already. Good luck!	djcess	Not Telling	Philippines	2006-08-20 12:55:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134 question	So far during my interview, I submitted the ff. : 1. I-134 Affidavit of Support 2. Bank Letter 3. Employer's letter 4. 2005 1040EZ Income Tax Return 5. 2005 W2 Those are my financial documents and there was no problem. Below is an advice from my agency but you dont really need to follow it, just my 2 cents. (sometimes the bank will give you your financial information a different kind, but it's alright) INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FORM I-134 AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT You will need a letter from your employer and a letter from your bank the following is what the letters from your Bank and your employer need to say, the letters should be on Bank or Employer letterhead respectively. The bank letter should say this and nothing more. It should be on Bank Letterhead, Dated, addressed to “To whom it may concern” and as close as possible to the letter below, they do not want the type of account or the account number Just what is below. To whom it may concern. (Your Full Name) has an account at this bank, which was opened on (the date the account was opened). The total deposits for the last year were (the total amount deposited in the last 12 months) and the present balance is (the amount in the account at the time this letter was written) Signed (officer of the Bank) (Title of bank officer) This bank letter is short and to the point it needs nothing else. Sample employment letter. This letter should also say nothing more than what is below. This should be on company letterhead and dated and addressed to “To whom it may concern”. NOTE: This employment letter not needed if you are self-employed. To whom it may concern. (Your full name) is employed by (the full company name) as a (your job title) He has worked for this company since (the date you went to work for them)... He derives an annual salary of approximately (the amount) and his prospects for continued employment are good. Signed by your supervisor or boss. This is all this letter needs to say, nothing more. When you get these letters make copies of each and keep them. PLEASE NOTE: These letters do not have to be notarized.	djcess	Not Telling	Philippines	2006-08-20 03:39:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Visa Denied in Ciudad Juarez	Sorry to hear about that. You know, honestly, I think your fiance should've never admitted to smoking pot. Yes, honesty is necessary in this process, but I don't think there would've been any way for the doctor to find out about an isolated pot smoking incident that happened a year ago unless your fiance still smokes pot, in which case it would show up in his urine. i guess some things are better left unsaid? i dont know . . i do wish you both can find a way to be together though. 3 years of long distance is hard. Have you thought of moving with him for the meantime? Sorry to hear bout your situation.	djcess	Not Telling	Philippines	2006-08-19 05:48:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Manila Embassy Interview	Hi all, The people at the st luke's clinic will determine which shots you need and will provide those to you (typically) on the 2nd day of your medical exam for free from my experience, i was only given the MMR shot (mumps, measles, rubella) and i was given a sheet of paper telling me i need to get the Td shot (tetanus/diphteria) in the US (because apparently they dont have that vaccine here -- some people have said tho that if you have a private doctor or such in the philippines you can probably get that shot but it's a bit expensive) i havent asked how much this Td vaccine costs here so i cant share that info with you...neither do i know how much it costs there anyhow, just wanted to assure you that the shots is the last thing you should worry about...the people at st luke's have got that covered goodluck! how painful is it (the shots) ? I'm gonna have my medical on the 12th and i'm scared.. grrrr.. why do we have to go through this... ?!	djcess	Not Telling	Philippines	2006-07-01 21:25:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Manila Embassy Interview	[quote]By the way, how long did you guys receive packet 4 from NVC receipt date? I heard in Manila USembassy they don't send out packet 3 anymore, yes?[/quote] NVC receipt date or Manila Embassy Receipt date? I don't know the answer on the first stuff but I know that on the Pre-Interview Notice, they say it takes 180 days from the day Manila Embassy receives the case for you to get the packet. Don't worry djcess, the process seems to speed up these days so you may get the packet less than 180 days. The embassy still sends out packets. But there are numerous cases that beneficiaries don't get to receive packets due to some reasons (e.g. Undeliverable address). On these cases, they call the embassy and request to send their packets to St. Lukes and they just pick them up on their medical day (Window F, Ground Floor). [/quote] thanks! I'll be calling the embassy around June i guess...	djcess	Not Telling	Philippines	2006-05-14 03:21:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Manila Embassy Interview	Hey, I need help. I'll be doing the CFO thing soon and I was wondering what was the easiest way to get to SMEF-COW place....I'm not very familiar with the Aurora Blvd area. I was looking at the Location Map they have online butttttttttttttttt....hmmm...lolol....obviously cant imagine any of the landmarks. I'll be commin from Makati, Edsa...If I were commuting should I take the MRT? Bus? where do I get off? Would it be advisable if I just brought a car? Does anyone know if there is a safe parking space inside the compound? Thanks in advance for all the help. Hi! I'll be attending the CFO soon too and I was wondering, how many handwritten letters do you have from your fiance and visa versa? Our agency told us that we should have at least 60 letters... 30 from me and 30 from my fiance? how true is that? This is the only thing that's causing the delay since writing that much letters takes a lot of time. (we email n call, n chat so we dont really write letters but are forced, hehe)	djcess	Not Telling	Philippines	2006-03-23 23:44:00
