On May 27 we recieved our NOA2 and the excitement just keeps getting higher and higher.

Sweetie has left her easily located address in Pampanga to her mothers place at a rather obscure address but that won't matter if what I read is correct. I am under the impression that sweetie can pick up the letter at the embassy. Sweetie will call the USEM on Friday to inform them of her address change and to request when she can pick up letter, IF this is possible.

I told sweetie after she has letter in hand she can start making appointment times and hit the banks to pay fees. We will be using a WORD document that someone posted as a guide. I wish I could find the link to give that poster proper credit and to help others but I cannot find that posting again. Sorry.

Friday June 6 I recieved the letter informing me that within a week the petition will be forwarded to the USEM.

I told Sweetie this is a good time to call USEM (2-301-2000 ext 5184, Correct?) to inform them of the recent change of address and to request pick up of letter, if any.

Question, should we schedule the interview first and then the medical or medical first, then interview?

Also I understand an Appointment Letter needs to be taken to the Medical Exam. Is this Med Exam appointment letter or interview letter? Also can she pick this letter up at St. Lukes?

Snail mail and delivery seem to be out of the question as she REALLY lives "out there".

Thanks in advance

When the approved petition already at the USEM, you can call USEM and set an interview appointment for your fiancee. After that confirmation email will be sent to your fiancee and she will need to print it and bring it on her medical. (medical first before interview)

Thank you very much Shape.

I thought your writing was excellent on your Medical and Interviews experiences so much that I copied both and sent them to my Sweetie. She likes to read them and it gives her a good idea of what to expect.

Thank You very much y muchos gracias

I called USEM Tuesday to inform them of sweeties address change and I was told they do not take that information over the phone. I was told to fax the information to them and call back on Friday. I already faxed it earlier this week and will call them back in just a few hours.

For those with a similar situation I post the FAX number for USEM here 011-63-2-301-2591 and put to the Attention of Operations Unit (as instructed).

Ok, twice this has been mentioned so now I am curious.

How can Sweetie get her documents verified BEFORE the interview?

Does she take her documents straight to DELBROS or to the NSO?

Specifically what documents are to be taken to DELBROS/NSO?

How long will it take and how much of a time save will it be?

Thanks
