Hello everyone ........now that all my stress is gone I think I gave it all to Pam....HEHEHEEHE.....So she would like to know when is the best time to go to St Luke's she is going Monday but she thinks she read that going in the afternoon is better to go there ....is that good advice???? Also in most cases I have read it is a 2 day process but I have also read some people going through it in 1 day??? Is it possible for her to be there for just one day? If so should she go in the morning just in case??? Either way is ok with me because I know she will be staying with her sister so I know she will be there for 2-3 days since it will be the last time she see's her for a while!!! Any advice on this ?????

what would I do without the love you give me.

The best time to be there at the Saint Luke's is early morning coz you will be the first on the line, i arrived there at 5a.m so i get done at 9am atleast you're always first on the line. The process normally takes two days.

I did friday afternoon and monday afternoon. I did a little talk with the worker there and she confirmed that friday afternoon is the best time due to lesser people.

She could leave her province in the morning, go to st lukes in the afternoon. Spend the weekends with her sister and go back on monday afternoon for the result. She would prevent the monday morning traffic if she comes in the afternoon. Then leave on tuesday.

The guards told me that usually there are more people lining up in the morning than in the afternoon. I went there at exactly 1pm and I was able to finish everything at 3PM for the first day. I was asked to go back the next day at 2PM to get the results.

I would agree with the folks who say go in the afternoon. Eat some lunch and arrive at 1:00PM.

If she wants to visit her sister give the Friday - Monday option a try.

I think her sister could go with her... maybe... not sure on that...

I just asked my Asawa and she said get there in the morning, the earlier the better. Do not go there when you have your mens (like she did as it started that day). So she was able to get her urine, blood, and eye tests and then she came back a week later when she got her shots, x-ray and physical exam. OHhhhhh and being my loving wife she reminded me "no sex for 4 weeks after the exam" to avoid possible pregnancy complications :rolleyes: I think she got here on the 30th day :yes: One last thing she just told me. Do not forget your approval letter and money

Relax, it all will be good! Best of luck. God Bless

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
