hi!

i suggest u bring bottled water and go to SLEC after lunch (1pm) to avoid the looong lines....i went there 1:30 and was finished at 4pm on the first day.

good luck and god bless! :star:

DITTO on the above post. Going after lunch will be a LOT easier. Especially with anak. Make copies of your passports as SLEC will take them and you won't get back until after your interview.

Take some snacks naman.

i have the same question, is the NOA1 of primary importance? we ddnt get the hardcpy of our noa1 coz it somehow got lost in the mail and uscis wont give us another copy they said they don't do that; but fiance's going to have them send us a suplicate copy once he is done with his mission in laos; he really can't call uscis while there anyway, so will have to wait.. but yes, is it really needed?

Confirmation letter and appointment letter are not the same although you can bring one of them in order to get in in SLEC.

Confirmation letter = is a letter that comes from USEM stating that you are already legible to schedule your interview.

Note: Not all beneficiaries receives this letter.

Appointment letter = is an email that comes from the call center. This email will be sent once you already scheduled your interview.

NOTE: You have to call the call center in order to sched an interview.

If you didn't get confirmation letter and you haven't sched your interview yet and you want to have your medical, usually, NOA2 is what the guards from SLEC are looking for for you to get in. NOA1 is not really needed in order to get inside the SLEC premises.

Good Luck to everyone! :star:

u only need to bring one of those to be able to get inside the SLEC, as for me, they took my appointment letter and staple it with the form they will give u(PDS) and for my friend, they jsut took her NOA2(photocopy) since she doesnt have appointment letter yet...

i suggest going in the afternoon, i went there at 12:30 and got done at 3:30pm for the fisrt day..but be ready for the long wait on the second day for the immunization and releasing..

bring both your confirmation letter and appointment letter (if you have). the guards will ask primarily for the confirmation letter and put a stamp on it, which you will show also at the USEM. they will ask if you already have an interview date, and then they will ask for your appointment letter. have them photocopied especially your passport, since they will not return it to you.

goodluck and God Bless! :star:
