March 2008 Interview Dates

[derrelai 0]

Ana,

No need to ask SLEC if it is okay since they KNOW Lai has her interview in March and they were the ones who asked if she was ready the day she picked up her packet 4 if she wanted to have her medical done. Also, Lai was told the medical examination was valid for 6 months. I called the embassy and requested packet 4 to be sent to SLEC. I don't know if this was special request or not. Grace at the USEM said that SLEC fetches the packets from USEM each day in the early morning, between 8-10am. Grace told me she would direct their distribution office to make our packet available to SLEC instead of going out through normal delivery.

I would advise calling the USEM and requesting the packet to be sent to SLEC if that is what you want to do, but I would not just expect it to be there.

Derrel, adding my two cents when 2 piso is getting more value

Derrel,

Make sure you get Lai to give a writeup of her experience at the medical. I would love to point it out to Charry so she knows what to expect.

how do you go about getting an early medical, and how would your proceed without a packet?

are those forms good at the embassy website? we could just download them and print them?

my fiances interview is March 03 and the medical is feb 25

Am planning to have an early medical too. Probably by the end of Jan. Accordingly, we dont have to wait for the packet. Just print the appointment schedule that you got online and present this at SLEC.

i have it printed already. i am planning to have my early medical on the 31st... i hope everything will turn out well. i chose that date coz that's my bday. i find it a lucky day.

I called the USEM today and asked about the early medical and the packet. He confirmed that its ok to have the medical even more than a month before your scheduled interview. Medical Exam Results are VALID for 6 MONTHS. I also asked about going to St Lukes without the appointment letter and yes, like most of vj members tell us, just PRINT the APPOINTMENT schedule ONLINE and go to SLEC and tell them that you wish to have the early medical and that you will pick up your K1 packet there.

He told me to just bring the following:

1. payment for the examinations

2. 2x2 picture with white background (he told me to prepare around 6 just to be sure)

3. online visaappointment schedule printed.

Thats all. Did he give me the correct information?
