***Question about the SPUTUM TEST in the Philippines***

[Trey7Sarah 0]

Just make sure Sarah tells St. Lukes that she has an interview the following day and that she needs to hand carry her medical results to her interview. St. Lukes should be fine with that.

Now you're rolling!

We shall see! Patience patience patience

The bad part is I don't have as much patience as Sarah does.

Dude have you seen the way they drive in the city in the philippines much less the countryside?

I just texted her to remind her to ask St Lukes when the medical is completed.

^^^ :thumbs:

Note: St. Lukes will automatically give her the x-ray CD and her vaccination report. Everyone gets those. Make sure Sarah understands that she also needs to ask St. Lukes for the results of her medical exam so that she can hand carry them to the Embassy for her interview. Just making sure...

Congratz on passing the medical and passing the interview!!!

Sarah must have had no problem convincing St. Lukes that she needed to hand-carry the results of her medical to her Embassy interview because it was scheduled for the next day.

Thank you. I was so relieved on the passing of the medical and interview. No I guess she didn't have any problems with convincing St Lukes to hand carry the results. I had asked Sarah to bring the appointment letter to the medical for verification of her next day interview.

But it's time to be patient again. Visa has not been delivered yet. I had elected to have the visa be delivered to the 2go branch however the 2go has not received the visa. I have been contacting the embassy with no help. I have been tracking the visa on the 2go website with no results which keeps stating invalid. I have emailed the embassy with no response other than their automated reply response. Therefore it has been 6 going on 7 business days with no status. Any input or suggestions would be appreciated? The consular officer did tell her it would take 3 business days.

I would love to have her here before Christmas.

Congratulations Trey to You Both!!!

Thank you thank you! But it's not over yet.

Thank you! Haha Hawaii would be great for Christmas if I could get her here before Christmas! Everything seemed to go by fast after receiving the news that her sputum culture was negative but we are slowed again. Haha come on embassy. What's up with the hold up on Sarah's visa? She wasn't required to do anything other than waiting for her visa.

There's nothing to be worried about at this point because you are still well within the average time frame for visa delivery. I just wish the consular officer wouldn't have told you three days because most people don't get their visa in three days. I've noticed lately that most of the visas are taking considerably longer than three days.

I don't think the tracking will kick in until 2GO actually has the visa packet in their possession. When they do, delivery will usually be the next day. Keep an eye out for their text.

I sure hope you guys can be together for Christmas!

Thank you for the encouraging words. Maybe it's the holiday that is slowing down the visa process. I am trying to look on the bright side which is most of the process is over. It's time to begin our lives together. We do know that what's left is a waiting game.

God bless and Merry Christmas Tahoma and to all!

Wow we had chosen for Sarah to pick up her visa at the 2go branch in manila however Sarah called me on Saturday the 17th her time to tell me they delivered her visa. It's ok because i am very happy to know she got her visa. However it is just FYI they delivered instead versus picking the visa at the 2go branch. I am ecstatic. I was able to re-book her flight for Tuesday the 20th given adding one more stop and additional money. It's ok because I am happy. I get to get her here before Christmas. Love to everyone and God bless!

Thank you very much! You are a superstar in our book and to many VJs on the forum for sure! :star::star:

She has a stop in Tokyo then Los Angeles and then DFW airport. I am going to try to request a gate pass from AA to meet Sarah on the other side. Wish me luck!
