Finally got our NOA2 !! 

Aug 11 NOA1

 March 22 NOA2

 

Needless to say, I have a fiance that is extremely excited that things are finally moving forward and went strait to FB posting about it to everyone. But without delay, there's always one person that has to pour cold water on anything good...

Someone decided to poke a little fun and told her that she had to get completely undress for the physical.... and that your not given a gown to put on!!  Then said the Dr. was going to be (poking around down there)... Gotta love the crab mentality of some people... 

Anyway, I can't see that being the case at all, but she a Filipina and is very Conservative so its not been fun... for either of us...

 If anyone can help me out with info on this it would make my weekend a lot easier ...... 

 

Are they asked to get completely undress for the physical??

If so, can anyone tell me exactly what they are going to be doing?? 

Are they given a gown to put on?? 

Can she ask for a Female Dr?? 

 

Sometimes I really think this whole process can be a little dehumanizing  to us all....

My fiance just finished it today (she passed).  The first day they did everything except vaccines.  They told her to come back the next day at 2pm.  She got the vaccines, waited for results, and didn't wrap up until after 6pm, but she did get the positive result that day.  So one full day, then 4 hours the next day, late afternoon.

 

Side note, we jumped the gun a bit, booked a hotel in Manila prior to getting the NVC case number.  I just got the case number Friday US time, she paid the visa fee Monday, booked the interview appointment that night, Tuesday pulled it all together and took the bus to Manila as the hotel was for Tuesday and Wednesday night.  We hadn't received anything from the NVC or anyone yet, so the only proof of the MNL case number was an email I sent her with the number.  Of course she used it to book the interview and had the interview confirmation letter with her.  Without having the NVC or USEM letter they almost didn't let her in.  She had to push a bit to get it done.  Ultimately they used the email I sent to her with the MNL case number as "proof" that she was eligible for the medical.  Strange but true.  

 

We're glad it's behind us.  I know I jumped the gun scheduling it the hotel, which pushed the medical to specific dates, a bit early.  I was ready to write off the pre-paid reservation, but recognize that would totally have been on me, not St Lukes, USEM the NVC or anyone else.  Just lucky it worked out.  Oh, I did receive an email from the NVC which would have been nice to have.. it arrived my morning US time, her night between the 2 days.  A little more waiting on my part (1 day) would have resulted in less stress for Grace...

Maybe you can help me with this??  It seems you def have the process down... lol

Don't ya just love the stories that get tossed about.   For women there is a woman doctor, they do provide a gown also.   But before you get to that you need >>

 

You got your NOA2, now you need your MNL# from NVC  http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/nvc-k-1.html

 

Then once you get your MNL#  it is ROCK n ROLL time !   http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html
