[gjboniface 1]

I'll have my medical on March 18, 19 no need for appointment but I already did the online registration to at least jump off some queues in St. Lukes. My interview,on the otherhand is set on April 1.

Any tips or advice? Really nervous...I dont want to fail my fiance and his family. All of them are excited for the our wedding this spring. Thank you!

We just finished our medical last Thursday and all I can advice is for you to bring the necessary documents which are posted on their website. Bring copies of each. If you have copy of immunizations or if you were sick and was confined more specifically lung problem, you should bring certification from your doctor what you had, medicines you took, operation made, results etc. everything that you need to report must be properly documented and must be certified by the physician. These documents would be very helpful for you. Otherwise, as long as you're healthy and not by any chance exposed to people that have lung problem then you're good to go. You will know everything on the second day. If they give you the immunization then it only means that you passed all the exams that were done. Don't forget to eat before leaving your house because food is not allowed there. Good luck!

When all your requirements had been completed at the NVC, how look it was before they gave you your medical and interview appointment? was it weeks or months? Hoping for your reply.

Hi! Let me answer that for you. I didn't have the medical appointment letter. Only the interview appointment letter I received through email from the NVC. I decided on my own when to go and have my medical done since it is a first come first serve basis. From the time NVC emailed me that I have a case complete to finding an interview slot for me was a total of 4 business days. And the date they were able to get for our interview was between 3-4 weeks from the date they have emailed me the interview appointment letter. Hope I was able to answer your question. Good luck!

Thank you for your kind reply. Please do guide me if you have time on how I'll be able to have a medical appointment in advance at St. Luke's without waiting for long for the medical and interview letter to come out. I thought this is not possible as both of my children are all in the US already and I actually just followed evry instructions.

Hi margaret! With my case, my fiance called the nvc abroad to check status of the packet that I should receive...we were advice then that it was sent to manila on March 6. We also asked our Case number.. the Mnlxxxxxxx. Once you have the case number, you may start the process -

1. Pay visa fee. Download the deposit slip and go to bpi.

2. Schedule visa interview appointment

3. Go for medical exam. No need for appointment, unfortunately its a first come first serve basis so long lines are inevitable. What I did was answer pre registration just to skip the hassle of filing out on the day.you need to have an visa interview appointment before having medical.

Up to now I havent receive the packet. The call center agent told me that it really takes sometime. The packet consists of instructions, ds froms, and your case number. All these are downloadable online and of ciurse your case number can be attained via nvc.

HI!, Postgjboniface, thank you so much for the information you gave. I just wanted to confirm as well whether K1-visa processing is the same as IR-1 processing. I will wait for NVC to confirm to me the next step after case completed (receiving all the necessary documentations). In case that it's possible for me with what you have adviced then i'll go through it. God bless You!

I think also with K-1 your processing would be much easier as you can schedule your own interview. correct me if im mistaken probably with my IR-1 i need to wait for NVC to email to me regarding the schedule of medical and interview appoinment. Once they received my police clearance and quoted case complete. il give them a call on what to do next as well.

The only thing I can advice is to PRAY. Nothing is impossible with God.

God bless your medical and interview.
