Philippines	March 2008 Interview Dates	any updates on where you are in the process now? I'm done with the Document Verification thingy (paid, texted and called Delbros just to make sure that what happened to edp333 won't happen to us) and attended the CFO seminar yesterday (met fellow VJer Lotterly). I'm planning to take my early medical on Feb. 27....	MariEnMichelle	Male	Philippines	2008-02-20 22:52:00
Philippines	March 2008 Interview Dates	Got my packet this afternoon like 4 hours after i made my post re: "has anyone received their packet yet...". Talk about coincidence huh... Anyways, here's what it contained (i know you guys already know what's inside - just wanted to pass the time while posting here hehehe!): - Appointment letter (1st page) - Notice of Fee Increase (2nd page) - K3 Packet (Page 3 to 10) -> This includes all the requirements/documentation to be submitted as well as the location map of SLEC, info on where to pay the visa fee etc, etc...) Note that this can be downloaded at http://manila.usemba...ov/wwwfivk3.pdf. - 2 copies of both DS-156 and DS-157 forms (page 11 and 12) - Photograph specifications (last page) Noticed that the DS forms included in the packet are already expired. Not sure if i need to get the more updated one though (????). Ei Smoke - i think you need to call USEM for early packet pickup at SLEC. Check out this posts: Packet Pickup SLEC Link 1 and Packet Pickup at SLEC 2. Hope this helps...	MariEnMichelle	Male	Philippines	2008-02-01 09:05:00

He confirmed that its ok to have the medical even more than a month before your scheduled interview. Medical Exam Results are VALID for 6 MONTHS. I also asked about going to St Lukes without the appointment letter and yes, like most of vj members tell us, just PRINT the APPOINTMENT schedule ONLINE and go to SLEC and tell them that you wish to have the early medical and that you will pick up your K1 packet there. He told me to just bring the following: 1. payment for the examinations 2. 2x2 picture with white background (he told me to prepare around 6 just to be sure) 3. online visaappointment schedule printed. Thats all. Did he give me the correct information? YES his right! but if your not contented u can go there in slec and directly go to window G. asked them if u can pick up your packet. then u can start your medical. why they ask your visa appointment? just because they will attach it in your form. so even no packet u can still use the schedule onlne. can i have the link where we can print the appointment???? thanks click here for you to check your schedules online thanks, bt is this the one we are going to print incase we'll not received our packet 4, i am just confused because there's no name just the date and case# Hello...just a follow up question...do we just do a screen capture of the online appointment schedule and paste it in Microsoft Word then print it? Is this it? Hope somebody can clarify...thanks! I think the best thing you should do is to call the USEM also just like what my fiance did...... i don't think so that we can print it like with our name on it..... feel free to ask if you need some advise.... Goodluck!!! Thanks! Will do that early morning tom!	MariEnMichelle	Male	Philippines	2008-01-28 07:48:00

Philippines	USEM says you can't request pick up	I had the same case and had my request for visa pick up denied. The consul says their getting strict about that. I believe its a case to case basis...some were allowed and most of the ones allowed lived in the province or was with their USC fiancees. And with the fee increase, well, i think its just worth our 250 pesos to have them deliver it. As of this moment, im still waiting for my visa to be delivered. Hope you get yours soon too!

Philippines	Visa Pick up?	QUOTE (Dave+Rose @ Mar 14 2008, 09:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (MariEnMichelle @ Mar 13 2008, 08:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try calling Delbros first and see if they have received your visa from the Embassy. If not, try calling the US Embassy call center and ask for the status of your visa...anyways, many of us are on the same sitch. You can read other posts here regarding that issue. Hope you get your visa soon! I have not paid the visa delivery so I don't think Delbros has the access to it. I was approved for visa pick up. I also tried calling the US embassy call center today, the lady said its still in process. But I did not have to undergo document verification, the consul did not give me the white paper as some of the VJers were talking about. He just told me that processing will take 24-48 hours so I was hoping I'd get it it today since the 48 hours already passed. Should I still call Delbros even if I did not pay for the visa delivery? Thanks Well i guess no since they will not be responsible for your visa. Anyways, keep on calling the USEM and im sure they'll get tired of answering your calls and will release your visa soon...(hehehehe, joke! Just trying to lighten up things here! ) I really hope we get our visas soon...it hard being separated from your loved ones...hay, miss na miss ko na asawa ko! waaaaah!

Philippines	pls help im on ar because of document verification	Yep best advice i can give you is to pray. Nothing is impossible with Him. And to quote the Bible..."Man cannot separate what God has put together...". So hang tight...the guys from the embassy are human too (or just human if i may put it...)

Philippines	Tip of the Day	QUOTE (Sheriff Uling @ Mar 13 2008, 03:51 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a few suggestions on ways to ensure that you are able to pick up your visa after the interview: * Sing the star spangle banner upon entering the CO’s office * Give the CO a lot of flattering compliments (nice hair, cute comb over, etc...) * Carry a large sums of cash for Bribery * Cry immediately after the first question to get the sympathy approval and visa pick-up :-) Cheers!!! Sheriff Uling Ah...Mr. Sheriff...i did suggestion number 2 but didnt work...what i got was a DEDMA. But then again the consul was a 'he' and i am a 'he' and he probably thought i was gay or...anyways, got my interview approved though but my visa pick up interview denied...

Philippines	For those still waiting for their Visas...	Yeah i know, but my wife (my petitioner) really misses me (awww...anyways, i really miss her too... ) and she wants me to be there ASAP. i tried explaining this to her and you know how you girls are when you want things done, you want it done...hahaha! Just kidding. Anyways, ill busy myself by going to the gym, riding all the buses and jeepneys and trycycles that i can, buy her pasalubong wish list which includes hopia from Ongpin and a lot of other stuff hard to find in the market and yes, spend time with my loved ones. I'll give Delbros one last call today ok...hahaha! (KULET! ) Thanks!	MariEnMichelle	Male	Philippines	2008-03-13 19:41:00
Philippines	For those still waiting for their Visas...	Guys, Just got off the phone with Delbros to ask if they have my visa already but tough luck, the embassy hasn't released it yet. Anyways, they said that the Delbros usually receives Visas released by the US Embassy around 6 or 7 PM in the evening on a normail business day. So i think the best time to call them would be once a day every morning...hahaha... Well, i just hope we get our visas soon! Thanks!	MariEnMichelle	Male	Philippines	2008-03-13 04:13:00

Just opened the visa packet , stamped the papers, wrote the 90 day timeline on the visa, handed the passports back and said thank you. Super Simple. Anyone who enters in LAX, make sure to proceed to Immigration lines 1, 2 or 3. We waited 1 1/2 hours and got half way through in line 6 before I went to ask if we are in the right place (lines 6 - 9 are for visitor entry) But we made it . . . here happy in the house now!
