Philippines	medical at st.lukes	QUOTE (Sha and Scott @ Nov 24 2007, 09:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So does this mean that even if you have a Medical Appointment, say, on December 19, 2007 and an Interview Schedule on Jan. 3, 2008, you can have a medical exam earlier than December 19? Say for example Dec. 12? Yes a lot of applicants did that... But I didn't do it cuz I'm too far from Manila.	WiL and ShAi	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-11-23 20:32:00

I'm worried that my pile of evidence and my photo album won't fit into the slots. Thanks in advance. the window slot for window 25 was small i have to fold my files a little...

We got approved!!!! My OH bought our tickets in October for roundtrip and we're leaving on the 15th to NY!!!!! Weeeeeeeee!!! I will be home for Christmas!!!! Congratulations, but now I'm a little confused... What's an OH? (other half?) Did he buy you a round trip? (e.g. MNL - NY - MNL, NY - MNL - NY) Are you referring to home as NY now? Yes Frank, OH means Other Half. He bought tickets for both of us from NY-MNL from JAL. He told the airline that I won't be traveling with him on the flight from NY-MNL, only MNL-NY. The roundtrip ticket has the same price or is a little cheaper than that of the One-way ticket. It's gonna be hard and there's no guarantee that we'll get the same return flight if he didn't get roundtrips for both of us, plus we want to sit next to each other. So that's it. And yup, I'm referring NY as my home now. QUOTE (Tanjay @ Dec 5 2007, 11:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congratulations Shai !!! Best wishes to you and Wilson!!!

He came here for my interview and to get me. It was hard for him since he was very busy with his job. I feel lonely thinking that I'd be away from my family now but we have internet. I can still celebrate it with them. My husband needs me too. It's gonna be my first time to celebrate holidays with someone special. Edited by wilson and shai, 05 December 2007 - 07:32 PM.

Last Dec. 5 interview ko.. Hello Ness! Sorry I was not online yesterday. Yup, they called us last thursday at 2:00pm and the lady told me that the visa is ready for pick up on Friday at 10am, window 33 and so we did. I also attended the Guidance and Counseling seminar yesterday afternoon and went to the CFO after that.	WiL and ShAi	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-12-07 18:11:00
Philippines	DECEMBER interview at US Embassy Manila	QUOTE (Tim Y @ Dec 6 2007, 06:41 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> VJ was my attorney. I didn't get a RFE and I have sure seen people with attorneys that have gotten them for reasons the attorney should have seen. It would have been nice to have someone to ask questions to but I think the wonderful members here have done that for me. I am glad I didn't pay a grand for someone to fill in blanks for me. But I can see it both ways. Like you say you wouldn't pay now that you know how it works. I can say It may have been worth knowing someone that already knows what they are doing is making it more likely my loved one will be with me sooner. I wish we could just pay that grand to the process to speed this painfully slow process up I agree! Good luck Tim!	WiL and ShAi	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-12-05 22:24:00

By the way Shai, how are you posting to the forum? They have internet at your hotel? Does anyone know if Bayview has internet access? Thanks! Yup, all rooms in this hotel have internet access. I'm not sure if Bayview has internet access though. But Miramar Hotel, just next to Bayview, has internet in all rooms too and their room rates are cheaper 1,910 pesos.

Philippines	DECEMBER interview at US Embassy Manila	Hi mike! After the interview, we were called to another window. I asked the lady if we can pick up the visa. We didn't make a letter requesting for it like what others did as we were at the interview together. The lady asked the reason why we want to pick it up. We said we're leaving soon. We were asked if we already have tickets, we said yes, and the exact date. We didn't show her the itinerary. She told us to take our seats and wait for a while as she's gonna ask permission from the consul first. She said there's no assurance that the visa pick up will be approved. Then after waiting for about 15 minutes, my name was called and she gave me a pink card to write the name and contact number of the person picking it up. Of course I wrote mine. I asked when we can get it, she said they'll just call us when and where. They haven't called us yet.	WiL and ShAi	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-12-05 17:31:00

The Consulate Officer would have had me there to answer any questions he had. I did send the notarized statement today, I don't care much for delays. It is advisable for Fiance's and spouses to attend interview if there is any way possible, it will help to eliminate any possible delays and help keep the poor ladies calm. But I am happy, at least she did get her approval and not an assignment to the AR dungeon. Kenny I agree! My fiance was with me at the interview. They asked him more questions than me.lol But those were all easy questions though, like how we met, when, where, how many visits, what's his job and where. We gave them a clearbook of photos, and one folder of snail mails, snail mail receipts, emails, ecards, chat logs, voice call logs, and video chat screenshots. All of it were colored photocopies except for the chat logs(message archive screenshots). They just scanned it and never really read it and the consul gave it back to us (2 folders).
