PhilippinesQuestion about calling the Interview Numbers
that number (1-909...) only works in the Philippines. It is cheaper to call from the Philippines. One has to use a post paid (not prepaid) smart cellular phone that has IDD and NDD. Or a PLDT landline post pai that has IDD or NDD.

PhilippinesMedical Appointment and USEM Packet 4 Letter
hi. my hubby didn't wait for his letter from the USE manila and plus he never got it. now he is in seattle here with me. when i talked to grace from the immigrant section US embassy manila, she told me to print out the appointment letter sent by the NVC to my email and that is what my hubby should bring with him to the medical appointment.

but to be sure, you can just wait for the letter from the USEM. Just relax you guys are almost there. God bless always.

Philippinesi dunno what to do? actually i do..
you gotta just hang in there. my husband i think is probably going through the same thing cause he gave up his life in the Philippines to be here with me. but you gotta think about everything and give it time. it is just part of the whole adjustment process. and learn from everything that you're experiencing here. just stay strong and i hope that your husband can stay strong for you too.

keep smiling and when you start working your life will pick up more and you'll be happier. keep your head up. good.gif

yeah Tim Tebow is soooooo awesome. I was watching his short biography during the Heisman Trophy awarding and it was great to know he was born in the Philippines and how much him and his family contribute to the well being of Philippines children through their orphanage there. Cheers to you Mr. Tebow! kicking.gif

Philippinesis cenmar nd marriage certifcate same??
A Cenomar/cenmar and a marriage certificate are two different things. The cenomar (certificate of no marriage) is a requirement for the US embassy visa application process. In that document it will state your name, your parents' name and ALL the marriages you have contracted in the Philippines. A ceNOmar is for single people. A cenmar (certificate of marriage) on the other hand is a similar document but is for married people. So note there is a difference between a cenmar and ceNOmar.

A marriage certificate simply states that you have married your current partner. Whereas a cenmar or ceNOmar, lists all your marriages. When you recieve the cenmar / cenomar, you will see teh difference between that document and the marriage certificate.

For women, they will use your maiden name on the cenmar / cenomar.

God bless.

Yup I think you can go get your medical examination now at Saint Lukes extension clinic. They don't require any appointments anymore. Its first come first served now. My husband had his medical examination there 3 weeks ago and he went there at 430am. He was already number 12 and the clinic wasn't even open yet. Then he said at around 7am there were soooooo many people. Good luck! Make sure you should the letter with your case number on it.



DID ur husband go to st lukes after your case was completed at NVC?
i havent submitted our choice of agent and affidavit of support...


Hello again. Oh, we filed via DCF so we didn't have to go through the NVC. But my sister's fiance (now husband) didn't go for his medical exam until they completed the NVC process.
