Just a little refresh on the SLEC medical exams. Lai and son had theirs completed last week. Seems the child gets a skin test for TB, which in many cases comes up positive requiring a chest xray and sputum test, and an additional trip to SLEC. Since Lai is in metro Manila, not a big deal, but one extra day to consider. So all in all it went like this: 1st day Tueday, 2nd day Thursday... ADDITIONAL day Friday for son xray and sputum. Going early isn't a bad idea, especially if you have some extra things that might have to happen.

we are still waiting for our packet

we are too. my SO is in Cebu, where is yours?....i'm already making a back up plans incase it doesn't come before she leaves for Manila. looks like the banks to pay the visa fee & delbros verification are really close to the embassy. so i'm not too worried ...YET!

not clear about some things though. does she call the embassy & request a p/u for her packet at st. lukes or does she just call st. lukes? & how many days in advance does she need to call?

Got my packet this afternoon like 4 hours after i made my post re: "has anyone received their packet yet...". Talk about coincidence huh... :thumbs:

Anyways, here's what it contained (i know you guys already know what's inside - just wanted to pass the time while posting here hehehe!):

- Appointment letter (1st page)

- Notice of Fee Increase (2nd page)

- K3 Packet (Page 3 to 10) -> This includes all the requirements/documentation to be submitted as well as the location map of SLEC, info on where to pay the visa fee etc, etc...) Note that this can be downloaded at http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfivk3.pdf.

- 2 copies of both DS-156 and DS-157 forms (page 11 and 12)

- Photograph specifications (last page)

Noticed that the DS forms included in the packet are already expired. Not sure if i need to get the more updated one though (????).

Ei Smoke - i think you need to call USEM for early packet pickup at SLEC. Check out this posts: Packet Pickup SLEC Link 1 and Packet Pickup at SLEC 2.

Hope this helps...

2-0. In favor of the boys.

Everyone for K1 visa applicants, i suggest you all pay your document verification fee (P650) at any metroabank branch nationwide at least 2-3 weeks before your interviews to avoid delay of your visas....
