We have bad news, are case is under AR for a few reasons. I am still getting the details for her at this time. We will have too wait now, she was told a week. Not a good start!

Vic&El,

I am so sorry to hear about the news. I am going to be praying for your visa to be released soon. Just give them what they want and always be patient. There's nothing impossible with God.

Folks,

I am afraid that I won't be able to be with you all during the get together. Chris called USE and they said that visa is approved and will be released in a day or two. I am hoping for it to come tomorrow. Thank you everyone for the prayers.

Sway I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and toes too.

Any news from vic and el?

Zane

Big Congratulations, Zane! Phew! Hope you be on your way soon after it's arrival! :star:

Hey guys, don’t despair, at least they said “a week”. It’s better than “wait til you hear from us”. Average visa delivery is 7~10 days so El is still within the time frame. Hang in there!

Hi. I got a call from DHL. They couldn't find my house (it's that well-hidden), so I'll have to pick up my packet4 at SM Fairview. Hehe. I'll get it today, though, so that's a definite date on the timeline. Thanks :)

Again, congrats to those who got approved! Seeing how all you people are faring so well, I dare hope for mine :)

I may have seen someone mentioned this before but i've having a difficult time in booking a one-way ticket through PAL. The error message that I received is "Sorry. We are having difficulty in validating your credit card. You may wish to enter details of an alternative card and try again. (M009)." Has anyone experienced this situation and if so successfully how did you get around this (besides using another card)? I used my VISA card. Aloha.

QUESTION ABOUT VISITERS AT ST. LUKES......

Hi,

My wife Lorna just herd from her good friend that she got her notice for her interview and physical.

Her friend wants Lorna to go to Manila with her for support. So Lorna will fly with here from Cebu to Manila and then get a hotel room for a week so her friend can take physical and then take interview.

But I wonder if Lorna can go to St. Lukes with her and get in as a visitor.

Does anyone know the rules on this?

Also will she get into the Embassy for the interview even if she only can sit with her frined until the actual interview begins? Is this allowed?

Thanks alot.

I think this would be great for Lorna to have a practice run at all of this before she has to do her physical/interview....for real! :thumbs:

Mike

I just had my Medical exam 2 weeks ago and i met a girl who's in k1 visa also,well she have her mom to guide her but unfortunately the guard wont let her mom to go inside (sad) so her mom was just sitting outside from 5 am till 4 pm waiting for her...but she was having a problem with her pregnancy thats why it took that long,but the medical exam usually takes like half a day.so goodluck to you!!xoxo!

Can someone explain why the Consulate upon completion of the interview will not come out and say, "Your Visa is approved?" :unsure:

I've read several posts of people who weren't quite sure whether they actually got approved or not. Do they blow fire out from their mouths if you dare to ask them?
