US Embassy Manila Interview Questions

[GregwedsAngel 0]

Hello everyone. I have a number of questions regarding the US Consulate's (Manila) requirements for K1 visa applicants. I have already accomplished every paperwork needed to be presented by the way. I only have to fill in the DS forms and go in at SLMCEC for the medical examinations. Oblige me please to enumerate my inquiries. I have already paid for the visa application fee already last May. I know this has a one year validity.

1. How long is the validity of the CENOMAR?

2. Do I need to have all my documents verified? (on matters regarding documents verification)

3. I had taken the liberty to notarize all my documents to be presented for the Consular Interview. Is this acceptable?

4. I do have a 10 year B1/B2 visa yet never traveled to New York on the purpose to meet Greg over the last year since we knew each other (May 2008). Will this pose a "red flag"? Greg came to visit within the year we met prior our submission of the I-129F however. Just curious. Probably even an unwise inquiry ) Just curious.

Thank you to VJ for making the paperwork very much easier than it actually presents.

for Medical, you can just go to SLMCEC, no need for appointment for it is "first come, first serve" basis. I am not sure enough but from what i read, It will be paid at the embassy during interview?? were you the only one who worked on your requirements? Goodluck to both of us!

I see. I wanted to make sure. Regarding the St. Luke's appointment, I am a doctor you see and I will just call a colleague on the field there to ask what is the best time. Anyhow, Greg and I worked on the paper together. Well more like just me signing the petition he had with him when he was here last. As for the other documents that I need for the interview, well I already had a passport since I can remember as I have a considerable amount of travels already even before Greg and I met. Just wanted to make sure I understand this document verification thing.

Thanks! God bless you too!
