When you have your case number from NVC.

[LA2010 0]

I got this from one of the VJ members: REPOST

5 business days after you receive your NOA2, call the NVC(NVC IS the Dept of State) at 603-334-0700, give them your USCIS receipt number and they will give you your case number it will be MNLXXXXXXXXXXX, this will be your DOS case number going forward, ask them if they have sent your case to Manila yet, if they have not yet, call back everyday until they tell you they have. They send your case electronically same day, and it usually takes about 4 days for them to DHL the hard copy to the Embassy in Manila, however once they send it electronically, you can start calling for an interview appointment, as it will be in the system. Once you call into the call center and make an appt, you can go for your Medical, as the call center will send you an email verifying your interview appt print this out, along with a copy of your NOA2 to your interview. I have heard of people going to medical, and just giving there MNL case number...you can try, but I cant verify if this is accurate or not!

So the procedure is, wait 3-5 business days after your NOA2, call the NVC, get your MNL case number, then start calling to schedule your interview, once you have done this, they will send you an email with your interview appointment verification, then go for your Medical.

And as for your MEDICAL I got this from the REVISED K-1 INSTRUCTIONS: REVISED K-1 INSTRUCTIONS

St. Luke’s Medical Center Extension Clinic (SLMCEC) is the Embassy’s accredited medical facility. It is located at 1177 J. Bocobo St., Ermita, Manila. The telephone numbers are 521-0020 and 521-8647, and it is open for business Monday through Friday (except on Philippine holidays), from 6:00 p.m.to 4:00 p.m. When you go to SLMCEC for medical examination, you must bring your passport and one photo (size: 2” x 2”).

It is important to complete your medical examination before you come to the Embassy for your visa interview.

And also from another VJ member:

- bring at least 3 visa photo

- letter from embassy

- confirmation email that you have set a schedule for interview

When I arrived for my physical I needed my Interview Appointment Letter and NVC Letter to get by the security guards.

Just to be safe and save time of an extra trip going to st. luke because of missing requirements, I would wait for the NVC letter or the appointment letter for your visa interview, in addition to the other documents needed for the medical like NOA2, passport and passport size photos.

At a minimum, you will need your MNL case number and your NOA2.

what docs should i bring ?

Read this thread.

is my passport one of those?

Yes.

if yes will i get my passport back after medical coz i read someewhere that i need my pasport for my interview.

No, you will not get your passport back after the medical, because St Lukes sends it over to the embassy for your interview.

thanks so much
