you can only get thru them through a PLDT landline or Smart landline(if that's what they meant with smart phone) we only have PLDT and globe lines in my city..anyway, back then, i actually tried going to RCPI to call the USEM, i was told that only PLDT can get thru.. and our phoneline was pretty crappy because of the weather..but even through the static i got through and the person whom i talked to on the phone was great.. i actually called USEM 4 times, 1st was to ask if i can set an interview date but was unsure so i just gave her my info; 2nd time was to ask when would be the soonest date, 3rd phonecall to set the actual interview and the 4th one was to make sure my visa was ok since the envelope was precut on the corner.. and i kept calling on different dates, so i think you'll be able to talk to someone nice.. all of those i got a hold of were nice :) and God bless on the interview :)

btw, call them around 8 am-6 pm manila time, monday-friday

if there's a national or US holiday, you'll be sent to the answering machine

^ The first 2 times i called the USEM (one call right after the other), i had to deal with 2 different rude filipino men, who both told me to call back 2 weeks later.

I actually called back the very next day and spoke with a very nice filipina who gave us the interview date. Be sure and keep calling, if they tell you to call back it's because your case is not in their computers yet, so you never know, your case might be inputted RIGHT after you call. 2 weeks is just what they are supposed to say, when in reality it might be 2 minutes later that your case is in.

Good morning,rockhouse!!

Yep, i would understand how other govt employees could be so rude,mean,and dry . Ive worked and had my fieldwork in a government setting .But this office receives international calls, for goodness sake! :rolleyes: My fiance was the one talking to him so im like a helpless teething tiger on the other line. Doing the second call, il insist getting the rep's name. :P:yes: The energy is still up and im more determined to pass anytest they need and want from me.

Hopes and prayers for my approved visa, may all the forces of good hear our call.

Thanks rockhouse for the boost..ROCK ON! :thumbs:
