When the NVC completes your case, they will schedule your appointment at the Embassy and notify you via e-mail. That needs to occur before you can go to the medical. The medical is a 2-day process that can be completed the week prior to your interview. St Lukes is first come/first served. In regards to photos, we brought photos of us together from when we first met, our wedding, and more recent photos. We also brought chat logs for the times we were apart. The NVC responds fairly rapidly to e-mails, if needed. Good luck!

Where did Karen pay 25 pounds for parking in the Philippines?


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US

1. Is there any payment I have to pay aside from medical fee? (I am the beneficiary)

Nope, nothing additional for you to pay (nice that the deliver fee is now included in the IV Fees already paid to NVC).

2. wud it better to wait the NVC to sked my medical? or it is ok to go for medical in advance?

NVC will only schedule your Embassy Interview, you have to do the St Lukes stuff on your own. Once you have your MNL Case number and a copy of the MOA2 you can use those & your Passport to get into St Lukes for the Medical.

3. how do I know that I will be sked for interview? my hubby is unable to contact or call NVC due to job situation

If NVC has your & your Hubby's e-mail addresses you'll receive a copy of the interview letter via e-mail.

4. is it neccesarry to bring a lot of pictures aside from wedding pictures and put in album. for i will bring our wedding pictures put in a 16 pages album.

You don't need to go overboard on the pics as long as you have everything else. For Pics just bring a few spanning your relationship, show times you were together. Remember that anything you'll pass to the interviewed must fit through the slot (1.5 inches & flexible)

Don't forget your NSO CEMAR (the one you get in place of a CENOMAR, not the same as NSO copy of your marriage contract), they often times ask for it just to see if you were married before and confirm that your current marriage i properly registered.

Thank you guys for your prompt reply. About the NSO CEMAR, think I have to get one for I only have NSO marriage certificate. I was also confused about

the difference between NSO CEMAR AND NSO MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, thought they're the same. I now understand it. Thank you again
