STILL CANT REACH THEM

I have been trying for a week now to call and schedule the interview appointment...calling the USA 888 number it just tells me to enter a PIN? Nothing about how to buy the PINs...calling the 909 number when my gf dials it using a pldt BUDGET card...the operator comes online and asks the area code???

She is trying dialing the 1 909 101 7878 and tried dialing it 001 909 101 7878..

I am very frustrated as we are runnibg out of time...

Can I go to the US Emabassy.....I dont know what to do?

I called the number and have no clue about how to speak the language but through trial and error I found where to enter your 16 digit credit card number to purchase the pin. call the 1-888-877-9888 press 1 press 4 press 1 press 1. the automated system will ask for your visa or mastercard number.

This is as far as I went as I'm not buying one. I'm sure it will then ask for the expiration date, your zipcode and the 3 digit security number on the back after entering your 16 diget card number.

I found the following on the embassy site so before you call make sure you have the applicant’s Immigrant Case Number as given in the Embassy notification letter:

■Starting March 19, 2008, those applying for K-1, K-2, K-3 and K-4 visas who have been notified by the Embassy to prepare for their interview can call 1-909-101-7878 (within the Philippines) to schedule an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy. The cost of the 909 service is U.S. $0.98 per minute; this amount will be charged to your telephone bill.

■Applicants, Agents or Petitioners calling from within the United States will also be able to use this service by calling 1-888-877-9888. The cost of the 888 service from the United States is a U.S. $18 PIN payable using a Visa or MasterCard once you have called into the service.

■Applicants or their representatives must have the applicant’s Immigrant Case Number as given in the Embassy notification letter available when they call to schedule an appointment.

■Callers can speak with an English or Tagalog speaking operator. The service is available to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, Manila local time.

Good luck.....Hope this helps

Alas! After days of frustration, using a pldt (residential) landline (with NDD and IDD activated) from within Metro Manila, we were able to successfully contact the hotline by simply dialing 1 909 101 7878.

We've previously tried the below but failed --

*dialing 00 1 909 101 7878 and 0 1 909 101 7878 using the same pldt landline as above.

*dialing 00 1 909 101 7878, 0 1 909 101 7878 and 1 909 101 7878 using pldt public/pay phones (using prepaid cards), mobile phones and even using my fiancee's roaming mobile phone.

Goodluck and God Bless...
