I will just click on the date available for interview then click "save"?

This is the dashboard as I was referring

No you will click on continue from the blue menu above the date, it will be at the top of the menu (don't go by that example as we are not waiting for an interview date so the top says - cancel.

hey bigpoppa! we are on almost the exact same timeline ! I'm currently in-transit also.. we will definitely be competing for a date also using c4c...

anyway this was probably answered somewhere else, but can we get the medical done now before we have an interview date ? Thanks!

Hi Rob im in the same boat. I installed an add on with firefox (reload 28) and once installed and enabled it will auto refresh the page for you. Im still looking for one that will send you an sms or email alert if there are changes made to the site. Hope that helps

C4C helps me a lot. Thanks Rob!

Yes, My fiancé got her med exam out of the way 4 weeks ago it's a wise idea. Don't want to take a chance on having anything hold up your EM interview. You can also do the CFO seminar in advance, but the CFO pass certification can't be released until your fiancé receives his/her sealed EM visa docs. In my case a short hopper to Cebu to pickup the CFO certification is not a problem. So she can fly to the US the week she receives her Embassy K-1 Packet. Make sure she has a copy of the petitioner's passport picture page, that was not specified in her CFO instruction packet.

The certificate is issued upon completion of the seminar, the sticker is not affixed in the passport until after the visa is issued.

For CFO details one can follow the flashing arrow then click the CFO tab

If someone could post a screen shot of the pre-scheduled interview DashBoard ? I believe this will clear up some confusion. I can't because I already secured her interview.

Rob187

[Hank_ 9,174]

It is basically the same as post scheduling except the first line of the blue menu column on the left states CONTINUE instead of CANCEL APPOINTMENT.

Someone did post a pic of pre interview dashboard not too long ago, just don't remember who.

Rob187 Thanks for the tips bro ! I will definitely get my passport page printed for her - we have this cool way to print things - I got her an hp3540 wireless deskjet scanner/printer while I was there and as long as it's hooked up to the internet, I can send anything to it - the printer has it's own email address lol..

She is going to st lukes tomoro , hope she gets through it - best, Mike

Mike everything depends on her internet speed. I happen to believe the USTRAVELDOCS servers are in the US, I may be wrong, but I was able to secure an EM interview from Boston. If you ask her to run a program like 'speed test', you will understand what she is up against. Usual speeds in the Phils run from <1, 3, 5, and10 mps, The last 2 are very expensive, I'm 30 up/ 20 down.

Good luck, Rob

Hi Rob, I just started using the C4C and don't know how it works. I heard the alarm one time but i did'nt see any word like "First available appointment with a date" so, i decided to just click "Continue". A message popped-up saying click okay if it is not a false alarm and cancel if it is.. So i clicked again "Okay".. then it showed me the step 8(confirm payment) i click" Continue..i am expecting that a calendar will show it doesn't... what do you think is the problem?

Hi all,

I've run into a stone wall after installing and testing the mozilla plug-in Check4Change. I can do a function select all, or a mouse highlight, but everything on my dashboard gets selected except for the area circled in red above by Hank. That area appears as an empty square block while the empty far right column is fully highlighted. I thought it had something to do with Mac compatibility, but now I think the embassy's web page developers developed stealth method of defeating apps like C4C . Anyone have the notice the same problem ?

Cheers,

I'm trying to address the DB-C4C confusion. As soon as the C4C alarm goes off on DB page, forget looking for a date, you lose too much time. Top left, hit continue, C4C will give you a pop-up, cancel or OK , quickly hit Ok on the pop-up It should take you to next page, scroll down to bottom right, quickly hit continue, at this point if your lucky your page will refresh then a 30 day calendar will appear, mash the 1st available date.... practice the speed drill on the DB page. Good Luck

If C4C alarmed because either you were too slow, or a power problem. The first being more likely. Make sure your computer settings are set to 'no sleep'.
