St Lukes Medical and Required NVC Letter

[RC40 6]

Just wanted to let others know. My fiancee recently finished her medical at St Lukes. They were going to turn her away because she didn't have the letter with the MNL case # on it even though she said she got it over the phone. I sent her there with 3 printed screenshots of the CEAC tracker and they let her in with that. The CEAC tracker doesn't provide names, but I guess it looked official enough

Same here. I presented them the CEAC status instead of the NVC letter last Monday and it was ok. No questions asked.

Interesting... yet curious.

I had my medical yesterday and i only submitted my appointment confirmation email along with other requirements. But a letter from NVC is not necessary, if available only.

I was not asked for the nvc letter since I have the letter from the Embassy. But the person from the other window was asked a letter from the NVC. The applicant just then showed an email and he was able to proceed. But he showed to me his receipt and that there is a small paper attached to it indicating his lacking document.

You're correct you only need one or the other. If you have your interview confirmation email that is all that is needed.

My fiancee had her appointment letter, but they were still going to deny her entry because of no NVC letter. This is the Philippines (it's more fun). It's best to be prepared for anything.

All you need is the appointment letter.

All you need is the appointment letter.

Why argue with me about this? I'm simply stating the fact of what they told her at the hospital.

Not arguing....

3 pictures, not 4.

2 are for the embassy, one is for the SLEC files
