SETTING APPOINTMENT AT US EMBASSY MANILA

[jenssiva 0]

Hi everybody,

I have been trying to call the us embassy to schedule my wifes interview date for the last 2 weeks. I am calling from the philippines and the number I am calling is 19091017878 However, I am not able to get through! It isnt even ringing! It says to use Smart or PLDT, and we have tried both! Does anybody have any suggetions?

Thanks in advance,

jens

My suggestion is to have the US petitioner call from the US. There is a Fee ($18 I believe) where you get a PIN and can make up to 3 calls.

Also, this question would get better response in the Philippines forum.

HI,

The visa interview may be scheduled by calling 1-909-101-7878 (from the [b]Philippines[/b] at a rate of US$0.98 per minute)

or 1-888-877-9888 (from the United States for a toll of $18 for three calls - pin code access provided upon payment). Once the visa interview is scheduled, an official Confirmation Email will be sent .

When I call the USEM, I always dial 109, and ask the operator to transfer me to that number, it never fails. I always get through. I suggest you try that.

PLDT payphone works. It's 80 pesos per minute...I think...Can't remember but it's less than 100 pesos. don't use smart, it won't work. Go to PLDT payphone station.

you have to use a post paid IDD/NDD PLDT landline or a post paid smart cell phone. we used PLDT when we scheduled my husband's interview last november 2008. Good luck ad God bless!

It took us 12 days to finally schedule an interview. I think that they were backed up with many applications at the time. I would give it about a week...and then start calling every day.

Make sure that the phone you are using is postpaid phone and has an IDD(International Direct Dial)feature, if not,it won't work no matter how hard you'll try.But you can always dial either 109 or 108 and the operator will be gladly to assist you but the rate will be higher than dialing direct because they will charge you for using the operator and vat + surcharge.You can also go to any pldt business ofc near you.

good luck
