ALERT!!! If you are going to Manila for an interview!!!

[raven52 233]

Beware, if you are going to Manila for your interview in the near future! My fiancé got her visa April 16th, finally after over 9 and 1/2 months.,(over 6 months with VSC, failed x-ray, sputum fiasco came back negative over 9 weeks, visa sent to Cebu and was 4 days before delivering visa) Yes we have had our share of delays, as I am sure many of us on this site have.

But, we almost made a terrible mistake, during her interview, the US embassy kept her original NSO, we were getting ready for CFO, with our visa company, and they told us a copy of the NSO would not work with the CFO people. So, another delay of days, getting a new NSO (we got two copies this time), so my friends, I just wanted to alert you that are going to the interview, check your paper work very closely before you go to the CFO, do not make the mistake we almost made! God Bless, and good luck to all! Maybe this is accurate, it may help some of you! The Raven.

[SteveKarlaMayer 21]

Yeah, I think the US embassy, Manila required NSO authenticated BC. Same with the CFO seminar.

Your dis-tasteful remarks to OP, are not well received, I was just trying to be helpful, I am sorry I am not an expert like you, on this site, so.,...YOU have a great day today!

The Raven! (what is a light year?) Can you define without the internet, I doubt it!!! It is very rude to act like you are better or smarter than someone else!

Yes at the interview they keep all of the originals. We made that mistake with her baptismal because she was late registration on her Birth Certificate. Lucky we had it at the interview, but bad because she says very hard to get a new original...

Have you reviewed Hank_ 's handy dandy guide to chasing after a K-1 visa in the RoP? That stuff was covered there.

Yup extra copies are on my list, and don't forget to bring extra copies of the BC to the States.

Yep. I brought extra original copies of my documents when I came to the US in October.

US Embassy does take Original Documents. as for CFO you can make copies of your original documents but you also need to bring the original document for verification.

but again they will not take your original documents.
