I'm planning to have an early medical but I don't have my appointment packet yet. I've heard that you can actually print the appoinrment letter from the website.

Can somebody give me the link on that website, so I can print the appointment letter to bring to slec?

Thanks guys!!!!

Hello Everyone,
I have question again about DS forms. Do i need to fill up DS 156 or 157 for my daughter? She will be on K2 visa. Thanks... helpsmilie.gif


If you read the instruction that the consulate sent you, it states in there that you have to fill up DS forms for you and for your children.

Thanks for the info..i have not received packet 4 from US embassy but will try to pick it up this week.

2. bring a photocopy of the payment slip from Metrobank (P650 fee) for the document verification. then, type or write on that paper your name, passport number, case number, date of interview and name of your petitioner.
3. befor you enter the room of the consul, TAKE A DEEP BREATHE and smile and PRAY!!!

you will make it like what we all did!

God bless you...

Hi Beng thanks for reminding me. I will do that, i do have 2 copies of payment slip from metro bank so i might give them one copy and photo copy aswell. My fiance will be with me on my interview.I think before getting inside the consul's room am gonna take a deep breathe and sqeeze my fiancee's hand. laughing.gif laughing.gif biggrin.gif

And we just want to know how to checked our schedule and when the packet will arrive..

the 1040 is his Federal Income Tax return. it is not required to have it notarized. only the Affidavit of Support I-134 form itself is required to be notarized.

my fiance told me he only have 2005 and 2006 ITR.. but we will bring his 2007 pay stubs and Letter from company stating his current earnings. Will this be enough Roy?


along with I-134, and if meets minimum income requirements, you should be fine. good.gif
