- All applicants must register their delivery address online. We are unable to deliver your passport and visa if you fail to register a delivery address. To register online, click on the “Select Document Delivery Address” link under the Immigrant Visas section of our website (http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/) . Once there, click on the first link under the “More Actions” to register a delivery address for the first time, or to change an existing delivery address. If you have any question(s) on how to register a delivery address, please contact Manila’s Visa Information and Appointment Service Center at (632) 976-8500, (632) 976-8501 or (632) 976-8502.

We hope this email helps you prepare for your interview. If you are unable to obtain all of the requested documents, you may still attend your interview at the U.S. Embassy. However, if you do not bring these documents to your interview, it will delay the issuance of your visa.

Sincerely,

Immigrant Visa Section

Additional tips aside from stated above:

- Bring BPI MRV Receipt as they will look for it

- No electronics, No flashdrives make sure you arent carrying one with you

- You will have to undergo two security checks so it is faster if you dont bring a bag with you just the documents needed.

(This worked out for me. The lady initially standing on queue before me, ended up 15 people behind me in the final interview queue as she got stuck on the second security check with her bag)
