I told my wife to call the embassy in manila on the 24th of May to find out about the expedite request, because the case was completed at the NVC and shipped to the embassy on 12 May. Well when she called the embassy they informed her about her interview date, which is dated for 7 June, and so she needed to hurry and pack to fly to manila for her medical exam, but we hadn't received PACKET 4 yet! What to do? So she calls back and informs them that she hadn't received it and they told her to just get to manila and have her medical exam as fast as possible. So needless to say sunday she arrives and monday morning she goes in for her medical exam and long and behold the PACKET 4 was sitting there in the St Luke Clinic just waiting for her to get it. Well if she hadn't called the embassy, there is no way that she would have known about the interview date or the medical exam. Oh yeah and just a little notice to the ladies.....don't bother with the medical if it is that time of the month when you have your cycle, because they won't go through with the exam until it is done. My wife found that out the hard way

Thanks Shortie for sharing that ;) Soon she will be with you.

Btw, were you able to find a hotel near St. Lukes ? We had stayed at the Manila Pavilion for 3 days. We were very happy with the hotel room, staff, and food there. When I go back this year we may stay there or at another hotel.

Note: we had stayed on the 12th floor which had been newly renovated. Room was very clean and quiet.

Yeah, My wife is staying at The New Miramar Hotel (something like that) and she said that it is a nice hotel and it only cost 1600 php per night, but i don't know. My standards of living and her standards of living is different. If it is nice i take her word for it
