If you have your MNL case number.....SLMC will give you the medical exam.

Of course you must also have your passport, pay the fee, bring pics, etc.

God bless...hope all goes smoothly with the medical!!!!!

wait...let me get this straight...not necessary to wait for embassy appointment letter to do the medical? kse we're on the last leg of our NVC stage...but would love to have wife and kids be done with their medical as soon as possible.

NOA2 does not have MNL case number on it. what other documentation can they bring to do the medical? are the letters for Affidavit of Support fee good enough since it indicates their case number on it? or do you need to be actually done with the NVC stage for them to let you have medical without embassy appointment letter?

this post is fantastic.THANK YOU NINJONES. my filipina fiancee is about to get her medical exam, and each time i look at your post i see more answers to questions i was about to ask.

i was about to ask can my fiancee get her medical exam before scheduling her visa interview, then saw in your fantastic post of your walk through, where you said just bring copy of NOA2 letter and NVC letter. we have those as well as letter from US Embassy in Manila saying shes eligible to schedulae an interview.

she had only 4 vias photos that were proper demsions and is waiting for more kasi many people who've gone through the process say St Lukes wants more than the one alloted, which would leave her short for the embassy, she'd sent one to me months ago, so i printed 6 more of it and sent to her along with new i-134, as the old one is 9 mo old. the new ones havn't arrived yet. but jane's cousin who knows manila, was returinig to manila and jane wanted to go with her to get medical exam. and as many who have a filipina fiancee may well know interfering with the family's plans to do something together can make waves, so after cautioning her that we should make sure we can actually do everything IN MANILA, once she arrives, before even departing, i resigned myself to doing damage control and figuring out what must be done to make sure it will all work now that janes in manila. admittedly i understand her wanting the companionship of her cousin who knows manila. it can i suppose be a scary place for a young beautiful woman.

based on the fact that jane is now in manila away from her home address in mindiano, i have a couple of questions that many people on this forum may know answers to, i will ask them also to the embassy but they often just send canned answers, that dont really answer the actual question asked.

QUESTION? what exactly must be presented to the BDO bank to pay for the visa application fee? can it be done by presenting the letter from the embassy stating she is elegible for scheduling of an interview? or when you call and schedule over the phone does the embassy actually send or somehow provide a reciept showing she has an interview scheduled, and if so is there any way she can get this "Apointmnent confirmation Reciept" in manila away from her address, 600 miles to the south, so that she can pay the fee and actually attend the interview, once I get it scheduled? can they email it? or send it to an aunts address in manila?

timeline:

NAO1 13 APR 2010

MAO2 15 JUNE 2010

NVC LETTER WITH CASE NUMBER 24 JUNE 2010

EMBASSY LETTER STATING ELEGIBLE FOR INTERVIEW SCHEDULING 9 JULY 2010

wife and the kids went yesterday to get their medical exams done. didn't have an interview scheduled yet but my wife said it will be hard for my oldest son to miss school within the next few weeks, so she decided to take a chance and do it early. last time i talked to her...they just got done doing tuberculin test for my 2 kids. i think they were waiting for my oldest son to get x-rayed since he had primary when he was a toddler.

hoping that when they go back on Friday, the results would be clear.

1. She can have all the US VISA photos done in Manila, and at SM they're only 60 pesos for 6 copies (if I remember it right) but it's 2-3x the price just right outside the St. Luke's clinic.

2. For the bank, she needs a printout from the email sent by the embassy that confirms your actual schedule. They send this after you call them and get your schedule. They don't send out snail mail or whatever, just email confirmation and receipt.

Sayang, I just read this. I'd have loved to have met them at St. Luke's. I was also there Nov 11 & 12. Baka nga nakasabay ko pa sila sa immunization area.

sayang nga. i was actually thinking if there were any VJ'ers that were there the same time as them. i bet nakasabay mo sila on the 12th. k'se they were there the whole afternoon. but the results were clear. now hopefully malaman namin if they got a december interview this week.

Just want to share,

I had my medicals on Dec. 7-8, 2010.

On my first day, I arrived in the clinic at 12 noon. I was able to get out of there at 3:30PM. There wasn't much people. Actually, I only spent an hour on everything except the PE. I was done with all the tests(1:00 PM) and the nurse just asked me to come back at 1:30 for the PE. I got there around 1:45 but there was no available female physician yet. It was a long wait before I got called because of the unavailablity of doctors and the woman who went in before me was old and spoke in Bisaya. It took her 30 minutes for the PE maybe bec the doctor had to speak slowly and she had more medical history. As for me, it took less than 10 mins.

On the second day, i got there around 2:15 PM and was so happy when the guard stamped "IMMUNIZATION" on my receipt. At 3:15, I got my one and only shot for Varicella. Good thing I didn't need the others because I already had them before working as a flight attendant. I proceeded to the releasing area and waited for an hour before I was called to sign something then another hour for another interview. The interview lasted less than 3 minutes. NOT KIDDING! So there, although I was SOOOO happy, it didn't show because I can't believe I waited 2 hours just to be interviewed for a minute or 2. hehehe.

I'm thankful for this thread because it just saved me a lot of hassle. For updates though, I was only asked for 3 pcs of 2x2 photos and they didn't ask anymore for a photocopy of my passport. As of yesterday, the fee is Php 9,600.75
