Interview with Kids

[HopeFaithLove 13]

Hi Vjs! just wanna clarify, hope someone could answer back. I have 2 kids (7 % 13) with me going to schedule for our interview. Since they are minors, is there a great possibility that they can be scheduled together with me? I prefer to have our schedule on the same time / day so we won't be waiting for another day to come home together as we have to fly back home.

And one thing, until now I haven't receive packet 3 from USEM, though I already got an email from NVC stating our MNL Case No. and had been forwarded to Manila consulate. Are we already eligible to set our interview schedule? or do we have to wait for the USEM to schedule our interview? just for clarification -- thanks everyone, again for any inputs.

May God bless us all & take care !

Yes you and your kids can have the same interview date. What I did with mine was, I scheduled my interview online and input all my information, you will then be asked if there's gonna be another applicant you need to add. Thats it

Dont wait for the packet 3, I did not.

Yes, I have three kids 8,16,19 and we sceduled one interview and added them in the information block. I am doing a K1 with dependent children which I guess is considered automatic K2 with approved K1.

Just remember to have an NBI under any other names associated with you.

Good Luck.

You definitely do not want to wait on Packet 3 to arrive. We were told by the Embassy that it had been sent. We inquired as to the method and they informed us that it was by regulare Philippine post. It was never received. All we needed was our case number. We called the Embassy and verified that it had been received from NVC and had been logged in. After that, we paid the visa application fee at BPI and then used the online appointment system to set up the appointment. When you set up your appointment it will ask if others will be joining you; you will be able to add your children, who will accompany you to the interview.

Take care and God bless!

Hi there, Otey918, yes, we have same case. At least we now know what is best in our case with the help of fellow Filipina Vjs. Thanks to all them and Good luck to all of us.

But we did have BPI payments for each child and her.

So I guess this would be counted as 4 interviews.

When I called to make the interviews she asked for all the BPI receipt numbers.

hi sis, just want to clarify if my kids under 17 years old should also get their NBI clearances? Coz only my 17 year old son has his NBI clearance for now.
