Nervous wreck. Interview date - can it be moved?

[Ladylethal 12]

Thanks for all the replies. They've certainly done a lot in terms of calming down my nerves, but L&L, yours is just gold! This means I still have a modicum of control over when the interview date will be.

At least this is how it usually works, if Manilla has a different procedure, I dunno which that is but from what people going through Manilla are saying, you have plenty of time to get everything ready.

You've done immigration paperwork and you think passport paperwork is red-tape?

-laugh- oh yes. immigration paperwork means mailing stuff in. passport paperwork in manila? good heavens...

just think, getting a birth certificate will take more than half a day if you're lucky, unless you're willing to pay 6x the price to have them deliver it to you in 3-5 days. I chose the latter as it meant I could work and not waste time waiting in line. Unfortunately, I can't do the same for a passport...

OK, I'm lost.

Do you have to get a special passport to go to the Philipines? Something different than a regular passport like most people use to travel?

Becca, I was just as confused but I think that the OP is not the USC
