Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status

[iya 0]

Last year, I had my 2nd shot of varicella with my private doctor. She wrote me a certification ~ something to this effect: "This is to certify that Ms. Patiently Waiting No More, 44 years old, received Varicella No. 2 on April xx, 2006."

My doctor wrote the certification in her Rx form that had her name, address, telephone number and PTR and license number. Without asking for St. Lukes advice, I also had her sign the form that St. Lukes gave me. But on hindsight, maybe I should have called St. Lukes first to ask if it was okay to write on the sheet so that is what I suggest that you do now. Call St. Lukes to confirm if it's ok for your private doctor to fill in the forms for Varicella 2. Otherwise, the doctor's certification will do.

Thank you so much, PW! I'll follow your footsteps with regards to having the doc write a certification. But I think I'll take that detour you mentioned - not touching the St Luke's Forms. Although I'm assuming there's a copy inside the mysterious envelope, I'd still like to keep it as virginal as it is.. Too bad my mom spilled coffee on it - it's not as virginal as it used to be

Again, thanks PW! This is invaluable to me

And Congrats to everyone who's been approved!! I still attribute the relative ease of getting the visa to all the great people in this forum. Especially this thread.

Good luck to upcoming interviewees!! Bring home those visas!

will the CO or the pre-screener ask for our engagement ring? or i mean is it importnat in the interview But if they will ask me where the ring is i will tell them the truth.

They rarely ask for engagement ring. But if you can bring pictures wearing the ring, that should serve as a nice back-up. You can tell them "this is what's left of the ring, a picture, because I lost it" with matching sad face If you have no pictures, that's okay too, tell them the truth.

Yeah i've got a photo wearing the ring...my fiance took that picture of me at the cosmo clock ferris wheel salamat po

You finally got your visa Ate Cora, congratulations. Hopefully you'll get your son's visa too soon as possible.

Hi Friends!

I am very happy to say that Maricel has passed her medical exam!!!

Thanks everyone for including us in your prayers...

God sure has helped us again.

Hopefully now our next interview date will be in a few weeks...

Thanks everyone!

Take care,

That's good. Congratulations. Good luck to her interview.

Hello everyone.....just want to know if the NBI clearance is sufficient in lieu of police clearances that one should get in places they've lived since 16 years old?......and is there a rule on what size of paper i should print the emails and chat logs?....thanks to anyone who would be kind enough to answer me

The requirement is for countries you've lived in. The NBI clearance will cover all places you've lived in the Philippines. If you've lived in other countries for a year or more, you will need a clearance for those countries in addition to the NBI clearance.

Barangay clearances are not needed.

you will only need police clearances if you lived outside the Phils for more than 6 months/per country or place, if you have not lived abroad all you need is your NBI clearance. No rule on what size of paper you should use, you can use short or long coupon bonds, i printed mine on short bond paper

...thanks....i'm still waiting for NOA2 but i like to start working on some proofs i need to bring for the interview...our relationship is on its 8th year now and i'm not so sure how to go about printing emails and chat logs coz it's quite a lot....since you were kind enough to answer me i'll ask again what would you suggest i do....would it be enough to choose an email for each month for the entire 8 years?....thanks again.
