I arrived at St. Lukes Hospital at Bacobo st. around 12:30pm so i can prepare what i need for the interview, i wanted to start at 1pm, when i reach the entrance i ask the guard that i am applying for the medical interview for the K3 visa category and ask for the forms to fill out, i showed to him my passport, appointment letter for the USE interview date, but he stopped me from getting in because he is asking for the Letter coming from the USE that i am eligible for the medical interview, what i told him is , i would no longer get the K packets since i got the interview date already from the call center agent, as the agent informed me what to do to visit http://philippines.usembassy.gov and click the consular and visa services then click the immigrant visa information and see the K packets or shall we say the procedure on what to do, as you down loaded it you will the letter from USE http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfk3en.pdf , from the guard post i saw some forms to fill out and i ask him to give me one so i can fill out before its too late, i said to the guard that i am K3 applicant which means i am married already, and suddenly he understand this kind of category, so he said sorry coz he thought i am in K1 visa, (alibi), so i get it and fill out the forms, after i approach the lady from the right side of the reception she got my document and key in to the computer and ask me to get a picture from the room beside her, and after they ask me to wait a while, after my name called they ask me to pay the medical at amount of Php 9,387.40, then i went to X-ray, laboratory check for urine and blood test, get vital signs, eye test, then physical exam from the lady doctor, then get the immunization interview after few questions like when is my last period, when is my last sexual contact, then im clear to go and the doctor gave me the receipt and passport to show to the guard when i get back on Monday (May 26, 2008 at 1pm) to get two vaccines.

WOw...thats it..amazing experience, not so crowded in the afternoon. I started at exactly 1pm then finish at 3.30pm.

For those who will get the medical on first day do not be afraid as long as you have the passport, fee,appointment letter, 3 pictures,they get only one pic and the rest on second day. Don't bring any food or snack the guard will check your bag thoroughly. There are some canteen and snacks outside anyway if you are hungry but i suggest eat first before you get in and start your medical than missing your name...:-)

Goodluck to all K3 Visas!!
