National Visa Center (Dept of State)Shouldn't my case be complete by now?
hI,

I just talked to my husband. He called nvc and talked to a customer service. NVC told him that my case was approved and was already forwarded to US Embassy Manila.

We are almost have the same timelines.I sent the DS230 and my documents last September 7, NVC received on spetember13. BUT I DONT BELIEVE IT.THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM SAYS THAT THEY JUST RECEIVED THE CHECKLIST LETTER RESPONSE ON SEPTEMBER 13.

I'm already tired of waiting. I guess i'll just wait whatever happens.

Good Luck

PhilippinesHISTORY OF TOBACCO USE A REASON FOR VISA DENIAL?
Hi joelunchbox

I actually told the doctor that i have smoked when i was still in college. And i saw the doctors note on the paper " History of tobacco Use". But there was a question(in the paper) if i'mstill smoking. There was two choices the Yes and the No boxes. I saw that the doctor put a check on the No box. biggrin.gif

I'm really hoping that this could not be the reason for visa denial...

I would have expounded on that. Yes, but I haven't smoked in XX years. Statistically, after a number of years you are the same risk as a non smoker, Yes?

Hi hmmm,

I was at St. Lukes last tuesday and i heard two people who had attended their interview but they still have problems with their medical. So its definitely possible for you to have your interview even if you've got problems with you medical at st. lukes. hope this helps.

PhilippinesLarge crowd at St. Lukes
I went to St. Lukes for my early medical last friday. October 26, 2:00 in the afternoon. I went out at exactly 4:00. It took me two hours to finish my med.
It is advisable to go to St. Lukes in the afternoon.

My Fiance sent a text saying that she estimates a thousand people showed up for medical today at St. Lukes. I thought she was joking until she said she got their early and her number is in the 570's.

Just wondered how often the peso equivalent payment is changed as $ to pesos changes often.?
P6525 would be $151 today.
$145 would be P6263.
Does the fee change daily, weekly or monthly?

PhilippinesNovember Interview at US Embassy Manila
Sis Rina, I have been approved. The Consul asked me 5 questions and bingo!, He told me, Your Visa has been approved and welcome to USA. The Pre screener didnt asked me for BC,MC,NBI, and police. Pictures were asked though. I didnt asked for Visa Pick up. I was too hungry too think about it. All I wanted at that time was food, foood foood..... foooooooooooooooooooooooooood. biggrin.gif laughing.gif Anyway, I'm hoping to receive my Visa soon... THanks to Visajourney and the members who helped me a lot during the process. Special thanks to you Sis Rina...for being patient in answering my queries and for being so supportive and specially for being a friend. And I would like also to thank JAYZAR (jyz) for she has helped me alot during my Medical at St. Lukes. She patiently waited for me till I finished my Medical. thaks to sis Lhedy also.

It will probably take two weeks after our case be completed at NVC.If we are lucky enough and we dont have missing documents or somthing.I have lots of relatives who went through this process.Some of them told me that after ds230 is approved at NVC it would take a week before it arrive at US embassy.Then, 6 weeks before the interview date.Good luck to you!!!
