I pre-registered Amy for her medical, but she hasn't gone yet. I think she's allowed by me to wait a while to go considering she just delivered our daughter. :lol: Our interview isn't until 10-18 anyway. I think we'll be fine as long as we get it done before the 72-hour mark prior to the interview. I'll be arriving in Manila late night on the 10th.

well i dunno if it helps or not, being as i dunno when aissa showed up to slec... but she just texted me and said shes almost done for the day already and its only 930am there. so unless she's mistaken, not many are there today or she's just really healthy, then maybe that pre-reg does help speed up things.

totally understandable for her to wanna wait a while til she has her exam. by the time she has her exam's she'll probably have had enough of hospitals for quite a while!

and i'll be arriving late night the 9th, too bad... woulda been nice to have somebody to chit chat with on the way there, hate that loooooooooooooooong flight.

Ray-J - so i just called her and she is already finished for the day. got there at 5am and was done by like 940. and she said there were alot of people there even. so i'm guessing that pre-registering on slec's site really did speed up things. so if all goes well, she'll go back in the morning and if she's passed (which should be no reason she won't), she's gonna opt to not get the vaccinations until she gets here as i'm active duty military and we can get them here. at least as far as i understand it via the checklist letter, we're allowed to do that, correct me if i'm wrong?

i realize we paid the fee and it includes the cost for the vaccines, but i think she just really wants to go home and we have other reason for wanting to wait on the vaccines. :D

so hope that is of some help if you or anybody is getting ready to do the exam at slec!

Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

Got an email from the embassy today saying it will be 2 months to wait for the interview. T_T Not to discourage anyone, but by no means does having NOA2 mean you're done waiting.

Looks like I should quit looking for apartments for us in the US and start looking for apartments for Ice in BKK.....siiiiiiiiiiiigh :(

The interview went well I guess. There were no problems mentioned. All the questions went fine. They did not say if she got the visa or not. all they said was they have to process the paperwork and wait. They did take her passport. So I think that is a yes?
