Calling NVC; Scheduling Medical Exam & Interview

[ML Magz 1]

Hi.

1. Per my timeline, I could now call NVC to ask for our case number. Is it normal that they don't pick up and that I have nowhere to look up the case number on their website?

2. As a petitioner, I know what I need to gather but as a beneficiary, what does she need to have prior to the medical exam and interview? It would help to know so she can start gathering all the documents.

3. When I finally get this case number (but have not received mail from NVC confirming receipt of our files), can I call to schedule medical exam at St Lukes in Metro Manila?

4. Regarding medical exam, does my fiancee need her vaccination record? What if she does not have any? Can it be done at St Lukes?

5. When do I call and schedule visa interview?

Thank you in advance to everyone's input!

the waiting time is really long when you call them. dont expect them to pick up a minute after you dialed. the longest i had to wait was an hour. they are open 7am to 11pm eastern time except on weekends and U.S holidays.

2. As a petitioner, I know what I need to gather but as a beneficiary, what does she need to have prior to the medical exam and interview? It would help to know so she can start gathering all the documents.

valid passport

nbi clearance

cenomar

proof of relationship

birth certificate

medical record(if applicable)

3. When I finally get this case number (but have not received mail from NVC confirming receipt of our files), can I call to schedule medical exam at St Lukes in Metro Manila?

no you don't / can't make an appointment. its a first come first serve basis.

4. Regarding medical exam, does my fiancee need her vaccination record? What if she does not have any? Can it be done at St Lukes?

vaccination record is optional. my husband didn't have his.

5. When do I call and schedule visa interview?

Thank you in advance to everyone's input!

Such a thorough response Awesome! Appreciate it!

Regarding medical exam, does she do that now before scheduling an interview? And what does she need to bring just for the exam?
