PhilippinesPre-Testing for upcoming medical

So if they do the sputum what will that consist of and how long if any are we delayed?

PhilippinesPre-Testing for upcoming medical

My fiance and I decided we would have her do a xray with family doctor to see if anything show up. She was diagnosed with mild basil pneumonia. She told the doctor she is scheduled for medical in about a month. He told her this will not require a sputum test because this is not TB.  So I'm thankful we decided to do that visit.  I guess my question is has anyone experienced anything like this or know of a situation like ours? I think I did read once that if a person has certain illnesses u will still be able issued visa but need to be treated as well.

 

Thanks in Advance!!

PhilippinesSupporting evidence for Affadavit of support

Unless otherwise specified, all of your documentation and evidence can be copies but you must be prepared to submit originals if and when asked for.

PhilippinesSupporting evidence for Affadavit of support

I'm confused so seeking advice. On the instruction sheet for form I-131 Affadavit of Support it says that evidence of support should consist of duplicate copies of some info they ask for from your  bank and employer. I have all that in addition to Income Tax Returns/Transcripts from IRS. So does the employment letter or any of it have to be original?Thanks

PhilippinesSt. Luke Medical Confirmation Question

Thanks!  I'm not sure if I explained things well in my first posting because I was a little confused with the info I was getting. To be more precise, some other pinays had told her that the embassy confirmation page she needs at the embassy should not show email addresses it should be just the copy of confirmation with bar code. I don't think it matters as long as they can see the letter and the original bar code for both the K1 and K2?  I did try to print that several times from yahoo, gmail and AOL but I could never get it to print without the emails listed at the top. Even when I right clicked inside the confirmation and told it to print.  Normally something like that will work but for whatever reason not this time. Hope she will be okay with it like it is now.  

 

Thanks in Advance!

PhilippinesSt. Luke Medical Confirmation Question

My fiance has her medical on the 2/24.  She printed the confirmation page and it has at the top her email address on it . Is that okay as part of the 3 pages?  The bar code is included.

Oh the old one way ticket thing..I just sent my fiancee the money and she bought it there. This an age old dilemma, that many have encountered. Some have worked around it by buying the ticket here, then sending the credit card photocopy or something like that. For me jsut sending here the money was easiest. .

 

 

This lady got us a one way from Cebu to Atl. Cheap!

 

know it sounds crazy that  it is Virginia Beach travel and it's in Manila, but this lady really hooked us up and saved us 100's..

PhilippinesAirline Information

 

 

This might be a case where a good travel agent may be able to help.  The PI law is to prevent fraudulent use of a CC to purchase airline travel.  Maybe a travel agent can over come that because you are sitting in front of them.  Have you tried to purchase a RT or is it due to the fact that the origin of the flight is in the PI so you must purchase it from the PI.  You could also try calling Korean Airlines and see if they can help you overcome this problem.  Air Astana in Kazakhstan has similar precautions for airline ticket purchases.  One is to call your credit card company and get an authorization code that you give to the airlines or you just show the CC upon check in.

 

Good luck,

 

Dave

Hey Dave, Yes it is because the origin is in the phil.  I can do the same thing with Delta and I dont get that message. But you do also get a message about credit card verification from Korean Air. And I'm not using a CC, I'm using a visa debit card. Yes , you right I may have to get a travel agency to assist me. I have booked the round trip flight from ATL to Manila or Cebu several times. That has never been a problem. The difference between the round trip and one way is almost $600.00 x 2 due to K2.  Oh, and the reason i just haven't seletcted Delta yet is because they have a layover in Japan which is not a problem but then changing planes in Detroit. I'm not familiar with the Detroit airport but any airport where she will have to transfer from international terminal to domestic is a bit of concern.  Yes, Atlanta's new international terminal is great!

 

Thanks Dave for  your help!


philippinesusaMalePhilippines2014-02-23 16:44:00
PhilippinesAirline Information

 

The Korean Air Flight into ATL from Manila has a long enough layover in Seoul  it should be no problem. Also the layover in Seoul from Cebu is usally about 3:45

 

Also the international Terminal in ATL is new and so much easier than the ol international concourse.. No double checking bags, no tram ride etc.

 

I have flown the Seoul into Atl leg several times and will be again around may 10th.

 

As for your hostess question, it should be no problem, but I am not sure if they have one.

 

The only connecting flight she should have should be either Seoul or Narita depending on Airline. Several majors connect there and have straight shots into ATL and are usually cheaper than going thru other cities in the US.

I agree with you about Korean Air. I myself have flown those same flights from Atlanta to Cebu and Manila. Unfortunately, when you try to book from the USA a one way flight from Manila to Atlanta with Korean Air you get a pop up message about Philippine law only allowing that booking within the Phil.

 

Maybe I can find another carrier with similar layover llike Korean Air who will then fly direct into ATL. Because as you said the new international terminal there is great and customs is fast and easy to for someone flying their first time.

Thanks again for your help!

My fiance's interview is March 11th assuming all goes well with medical starting tomorrow. And then of course would be the CFO. She would like for me to come to the Phil and fly back with her and our son (3yrs).  She is worried she will miss the connecting flight to Atlanta, GA. If I'm not able to fly there I've considered meeting her at any POE and some other scenarios. I know with some airlines you can request a ground host/ess to assist but I'm not sure how reliable that would be. Oh, and she will be flying domestically from Pagadian City to Manila. Any suggestions?

PhilippinesDocuments for Interview

I'm worried that some of the original documents that I mailed to my fiancee may not get to her in time for the Interview. I mailed them on 2/18 and her interview is 3/11.  Due to my work and pressing time constraints I mailed them to an address in Manila by the US Postal Service.  So we're preparing as if they don't come just in case that happens. So my question is to all here is there any document that just absolutely has to be the "ORIGINAL" or they don't let you go thru the process?  She does have the original DS 160 .  Can the interview appt. letter be a photo copy?  I have copies of everything since the start of the petition. So what I'm planning to do is scan to her the copies of the one or two she may not have yet. I read online  at the Embassy website what it says I should have but I just want to make sure of any additional documents. 

 

Thanks so much for your assistance!!!

PhilippinesFiance had her interview today, help!

What do you think is she approved or not?  She went to the interview K1/K2. She answered all questions no problems there. When the consul finished he told her to go to the last window and wait there.  So she went there and the person told her she can go home now (Mindinao). She asked him if approved he said "Ma'am you can go home wait for your passport to deliver there".  So they did not give it back to her at the end of interview and they did not ever say anything about needing more proof. But when she got back to hotel she contacted me crying because she feels she didn't get approved because they don't tell her. I personally think she is approved since they kept the passport. But some of you in no alot more about this than us so please tell me what you think. Oh, the person in the window told her she could check her status tomorrow on the website, but I think that is backlogged.  Also, if approved how long will it take her to get the visa living as far away from Manila as she does?  Thanks!

PhilippinesVisa issuance

You can wait as long as you can until it will be delivered smile.png ..

 

If you have checked the status of ur visa at ceac website and u are not put on AP, it should not take long. But there are cases that even if the case was not put on AP, still it took them few weeks to have their visa...

 

You should check the status of it at ceac website and perhaps call the Embassy to get answers.

 

And no, you Don't have to pay for the mailing of the visa,,

 

Our interview was March 11, 2014 and still waiting. Same k1/k2 the next day after interview the K2 says AP. So what does that admin processing mean?  How long does that generally take? They still have her passport to and did not require any further proof at interview.

 

Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpediting Interview in Montreal
Hi, this is our first time posting... We are getting very anxious at the moment. Daniel is USC and I am Malaysian. We both live in Canada right now and have just received our NOA2 after 7+ months. I am on a student visa here in Canada and will be graduating in June, when my student visa will also expire. We are wondering is my visa expiring considered grounds for expediting the interview in Montreal? How do we go about doing this and does anyone know how best to ensure we get the interview expedited? I know everyone would get their visa expedited if they could, but we submitted the I-129 as soon as we could, and the processing times when we started was 5 months and it got extended to 7.5 months betweeen NOA1 and NOA2. so now we got thrown off the original schedule. I would need to go home to Malaysia upon expiry of my Canadian study permit and we're afraid that is going to complicate our whole application process. Help! :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 received, NVC received case, how to proceed?

Hi,

so we are in the process of a K1 application too. We received our NOA2 some weeks back. Called NVC everyday since, they have already received our case and forwarded it to the Montreal embassy. We have obtained our MTL case number too. Now, from the other threads, I read that I should not waste time waiting for Packet 3 to arrive. Should I just send out the documents required as listed on the website for Packet 3 to the Montreal Embassy? Are there special instructions on who it should be addressed to or what the specific mailing address should be? We do not mind paying for the courier, can we priorioty mail it to the embassy ourselves? How should this Packet 3 be sent to them is basically my question ? helpsmilie.gif

 

Following that, does anyone know how long between them receiving the Packet 3 from us that they send out our Packet 4?

 

We're trying to be as proactive and on our toes as possible! This whole process is coming close to a year now!

 

Thank you!

are we required to provide proof of this, like a lease agreement, utility bill etc? What is the purpose of this address? is it to prove I will not be a public charge or is it simply for mailing purposes? Because, I would think if it is to prove i will not be a public charge, or be homeless in the States, we would need to prove his name on some property, be it lease or ownership?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAddress in DS 156 (we are both living in Canada)

My fiancé Daniel and I are both currently living in Canada. He is on an intra company transfer, so we live in a leased home here in Canada for the past 2 years. Prior to that, we were both living in Japan for 2 years. Daniel is a USC and does not have a current residence in the States. In the DS 156 form, it is required I state the address I will be living in the States. We do not yet have an address in the States as we are now living in Canada and will only find a home in the States upon receiving the K1 visa approval. Basically, when we get our visa approved, Daniel will be repatriating back to the States. His company will put us up in a hotel for 30 days while we look for a place to live. Only then will we have a residence address. What should we put into the form for now? For mailing purposes, we are using my best friend's home address in the States. but for the address we will be living in, what do I put in? We understand that for most couples, the USC usually has a residence in the States, Has anyone been in our position where we are both living overseas?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRelocating K1 interview to different consulate

So, we received our NOA2 on April 22nd, we are calling NVC for a number consistently to get the NVC and Invoice number. I understand once we get this we can mail in our Packet 3 and then upon receiving our Packet 4, we will get our interview date. But the wait time for interviews at the Montreal consulate (I live in Canada) shows 4-6months and the wait time for an interview in Malaysia where I am from is 50 days. So just in case I do not get a soon enough date, and decide to relocate my interview to Malaysia, does anyone know how long it will take to transfer the case and what do I need to do to do this?

United KingdomWhere can I get my brains washed

Oh my, I read the whole bloody thread and all I can say is wow, people have taken this way way to seriously.

Alan to be honest you know how to splat the toes :lol: :lol:

I did not cope very well in America, Jon and I have had a lot to talk about and we have smoothed things over, I am not going back because I love America, I am going back because I LOVE MY HUSBAND very much, we have promised each other to be more tolerant to each other's way. The thing to remember is that you are kinda right, American's do not like constructive criticism, the best way to cope with this is to think really really hard before answering or just to not say anything at all. Yes I know this is hard to do, I find it hard to do and yes sometimes my mouth opens before I put the brain into gear. You have to remember that it is you who is moving country, not because you want to but because you love your Wife and want to be with her, do not worry what the outside world is thinking just what she thinks, you will be better off for it.

Janice

Janice - you are the first person i have put in my friends list this year. I actually posted in the in the UK section as I wanted some UK people perspective but I was deluged by yanquis who tried to combine to splat the invader - bit like ants when you disturb their nest.
Actually some of them are basically nice I'm nice. ;) like you and me and many others are neutralish really. I found it a rewarding experience overall. I even ended up liking the bouncer guy - I don't think he should define himself 'just' as a 'bouncer' - unless his mother was standing up when she gave birth.

One in particular gave me nightmares last night - I reckon she is a one trick pony though and has no other form of attack other than telling a man he is not really a man and has small bits and bobs and is frightened and insecure and impotent and is ten a penny- we all know women who deploy that and devastate men with less self assurance than I. I am not saying it didn't hurt because I am not thick skinned - but I have seen some women deploy that over the years and once they have used it, they have nothing left in their armoury - and I am going to give her both barrels if she slithers in again. (so far I have only used my tickling stick)

As a UK person who is honest enough to say that your relationship wasn't always easy, Oh MY, Alan! I have learned to not get into details on VJ (as is right and correct) but if THIS is all you needed to hear, I could have said that first! Craig has been here about 2 1/2 years now, and it's only been in the last six months that things have been great! We have always been in love, yes...but sometimes there can be a GREAT many problems due to cultural differences, not matter HOW much love there is! We had our days where his bags were packed and/or one of us had to leave for a little while to relieve that head of steam we had built up! ;) Our relationship was NOT always easy, and probably will never be ALWAYS easy...I try not to use absolutes too!...the important thing is that we both cared enough to stick it out..and we're glad we did. :) ;) I value your input on this. America is very foreign despite what the Americans say - a superficial person might not even see the difference - and my friend who has lived there 12 years and who is nominated to receive my green card told me that he is a very shallow person, and knows it, and thats why the US is perfect for him. Now don't get riled you Americans - it's my friend who is shallow - not America - what he is saying is that if you are a sensitive person who feels wobbly until they totally understand the environment they have dropped themselves into, then it's a difficult transition.

When I am in a muggy, flat Florida with American laThen ger beer - I will dream of Ilkley moor and Western Scotland and ask myself why I am there. I will count my blessings - as you say - knowing my spouse is happier there Yes, I firmly believe (as do most here I think) that that is why pretty much every UKer is here..not because America is in any way better or this that and the other is great about America. I know that myself, and I'm the USC! In many ways, I would absolutely LOVE, love, LOVE to live in England..and maybe we will one day...but for now, Craig knows I am happier here, and so he has made that sacrifice..and I'm so grateful...because I know he's not here because he prefers it. He's finally to the point that he's just as ok with being here as he is England..or so he says..and his manner would make that appear so...but it's been a rough road getting there, and there will always be things he misses of course. - and also all the toys and wooden chicken sheds (houses) I can buy in the US with their half priced dollars. Then I will see the thing as a whole and be reassured that I have made the right decision...

I can't take on a continent of people and change their mindset on my own, but perhaps I can put a different perspective to a handful of thinking people there - and they might pass that on - christianity started like that and so did communism - and so did AIDS come to think of it.......oops I am wandering again

I am sure that a lot of the argy bargy that Carolyn and I had was culture based - she can be very loud - and Americans are - and we see that as aggression. She comes home from work and says she can't understand her co-workers because they 'speak so quietly'. So there is one difference and there are hundreds ! Yep, me too! We have had issues with that...but you know...I am willing to try to change a lot of things if they really bothered Craig (and there aren't many!) but I am absolutely unwilling to change my personality for anyone, including him. He fell in love with my outgoing personality, and that's who I am...so that has taken some getting used to for the both of us! ...but we're good with it now that I have learned to accept that if HIS personality isn't the cookie-cutter image I thought it was initially...that that's alright as well. I love him just the way he is! :)

Sometimes she tells me to 'shut my yap' which apparently is not that offensive in Wisconsin but is fighting talk in the UK.. a bit like going to Tenerife and saying 'your mother' to a Canarian

So despite what our yanquis say on here, the cultural differences are many - they might not seem huge, but in the domestic setting they can be a problem and relationships are hard enough anyway Totally agreed...and when you get "used to" (for lack of better words) one another's little habits, it becomes easier...and not so "hard," but there are a great many cultural difference, yes....not large, LARGE differences, but more of them.- but, like Florida, we have to see it in the round and look to the other positives which other couples don't have.
