In the US call (1-202-663-1225 option 1,0) that's the US Dept. of State and its a free call (except for long distance charges...), you will need your NVC case number. Calling the USE in Manila they charge per call whether you are in the Philippines or in the US (in the US it's $18 and you get to call them twice for that amount!)

i think the answer under item 11 of I134 is: N/A (K1 visa process for permanent residence). Checkout the visajourney example form http://www.visajourney.com/examples/I-134-exp-04-30-07.pdf

anybody who has a different answer?

Good Luck to all of you that have a medical and interview coming up. I know we have waited a long time, and now it is almost over. Just hang in there just a little bit more to go for all of us.

CFO done.....got my certificates...

Summary

I arrived at St. Mary's in Cebu for the guidance and counseling at 7:15 A.M. and I am 8th on the list. They will accept 15 only. We were ushered inside the office at exactly 7:30 A.M. We were called one by one. Once called, submit photocopies of my and fiance's birth certificates, passports, (include marriage contract if married). I presented also original copies of these documents together with my 2 valid IDs with photographs. A form was given for me to fill-up. Once done, submitted and paid Php 250.00. Was called again for a picture shoot using a webcam. The picture will be printed on the blue certificate (like the NBI clearance). After all 15 are done, as a group we were ushered inside a room for orientation or guidance and counseling which ends at 12:00 noon. Afternoon session was the one on one counseling. If counselors finds you OK, you will get your blue certificate. I received my blue certificate at 3: 15 P.M. Next stop was CFO office (rode a taxi).

CFO: Make sure to photocopy your blue certificate and the receipt of the Php 250.00 from St. Mary's. I submitted my photocopies and presented the original copies at the counter. Paid Php 400.00 and wait...minutes later, I received my white certificate (looks white). If you already had your visa, they will stamp or put a sticker next/beside your visa/passport. I don't have my visa yet. I will come back to CFO to register once I will have my visa and show to them my certificates from St. Mary's and CFO as proof that I have completed the seminar....then they will stamp/put sticker to my visa/passport.

Arrived home at 4:30 P.M.....totally exhausted!

But it was fun and I really enjoyed the guidance and counseling at St. Mary's. Talked and shared stories with the ladies too.
