Manila Embassy Interview

[Dean/Gra 0]

Mark, She can go at anytime to get her physical if you are concerned. My Sweetie is going a month early. All you need is the Interview letter, and the other items for the Medical, such as pics and passport.

Please update us. The NVC sent our case (Email & postal mail) to Manila on 02/20/07 and packet 3 was sent to my wife on 02/26/07. She has yet to receive it despite living nn Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila. The embassy is only a 30 minute taxi ride from her apartment. The paperwork could've walked there and back several times by now.

Hi! This is Jinky! We arrived in LAX, Friday, March 2nd and made it through immigration after about 30 minutes. The immigration officer looked very strict and he asked me where is Job's father. I asked him to repeat himself and then he asked if I was married to Job's father. So I just answered him, NO. Before I left, he told me if I don't want to get married that I can always go back to the Philippines...bwahahahaha. He only looked strict but he was okay - he even said, Welcome. So, after that we got our luggage. They didn't even ask for the x-rays.

I'm with my Steven now and he took us to an asian market on Saturday where I found so many home products - kangkong, calderita mix, chicken feet, and Filipino foods. I even bought Datu Puti vinegar...hehehe.

At the back of our churches weekly announcements, I found 3 Filipino dentists in our area. The church we go to has a community of Filipino's and Vietnamese.

I'll keep you all updated to a new life here!

welcome to the US jinkyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wonder which asian market you went to? hmm could it be 99 ranch? hahahahah ...

QUESTION ABOUT THE "INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT LETTER".....

Hi,

Today I received my wifes interview appointment letter. It says she must have this letter to get into their office on the appointment date for her interview.

Problem is I can't get it to my wife before her appointment date (March 19) through first class mail.

Does anyone know if I can just scan it and send it in an email to my wife so she can print it out.

Its pretty much a generic letter on Manila Embassy letter head paper.

I really don't want to spend some $30.00 getting the priginal to here with some quick shiping.

Thanks, Mike

To All Having Interviewed This Month:

As several questions have arisen in several other topic areas about the Phil's.

I have a very good question. With the delays of the last year, and with all the problems having arisen due to all the changes that have created delays, has anyone been asked for this years (2006) tax returns thus far? Lorelle (Aussie) and a few others have made it known that it has happened before, and at this point in saving many a trip to the embassy to be saddened in arriving without knowing it, do we need to bring New transcripts with our loved ones to the Interview, will this be a problem?

Just was wondering, and hope it really isnt a problem at all, and just me being a worry wart.

Thanks, and I am sure others are wondering as well in reading posts thru out the forums.

Seems Manila has too many issues , and this is just another to worry about.

Thanks...

I'm really not sure, but would think they would not start asking for it till at least sometime in May since the deadline for filing a return isn't till April17th. you can always send copies of your W2 to show your income for 2006.

Tax Return for 2006 (copy of return)

Letter from Bank (Notorized) stating total deposits for 2006 and date account opened and current balance on accounts.

W-2's for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006

Hi DAVE!

Thanks.....

Actually this letter doesn't have anything under the date as you suggested. Maybe because mine is CR-1 and yours is K-1. Who knows?

But what you said it said..... made me think. I got out the copy of the packet 4 that I have already sent Lorna, and there IS a letter in there very similar that also says she must bring that letter to the interview.

So all is good. I think the guard needs to see something with date and time and her name.

So as far as I'm concerned she already has the letter. Thanks for the help. Gets rid of a little of the stress. Getting close now!

Good luck with your journey, Mike

Basically what the Embassy is looking for on your latest ITR is whether you meet the poverty guidelines. Since the dealine for 2006 is 17 April, all you have to say is that you have not filed yet and present your 2005 ITR. The prescreener and CO only asked for the 2005 ITR at our 15 Feb interview and gave back the rest. We had 3 years worth as well as the bank statement, pay stubs...etc, but they were only interested in last years ITR. If you have it, bring it, if not, not a lot you can do. Ken & Maria

The medical is nothing more than a physical and not an OBGYN apointment. I keep seeing the post worried about the menstural cycle and it has no bearing what-so-ever on the Medical exam. Of all the ladies in this thread, I have not heard of any of them being affected by their menstural cycel but have heard many being concerned about it. If I remember right, they only made my fiancee get down to her panties and no further. Ken & Maria

My fiance's medical is scheduled for the 7th, and she got her monthly period on the 5th. Her plan is to make the appointment to complete as much as they will allow her to, and then return on the 12th to complete the physical once her period is done. I worry that the medical results won't make it to the embassy for her interview on the 14th. Do you think there could be any hang-ups, and is there anything she should be doing to insure that the results are forwarded to the embassy in time.

Thanks

i think they have to give a urine sample at the medical in which case the woman should not have her period as blood could get in the sample. usually the urine is tested for sugar, protein, and blood.

The urine was for a pregnancy test, though.. I was at the very last day of my period when I did my medical, and I had no problems. The only violent reaction came from the doc in the physical exam room. I guess she was afraid I would bleed all over her pristine-white sheets.. After being assured that I had next-to-no-bleeding going on, we proceeded with the physical.
