MANILA, Philippines -- Starting March 19, United States immigrant visa applicants who have been notified they can now be interviewed can call the Visa Information Service operator for the schedule of interview, the US embassy here said Monday.

The US embassy said those with pending K1, K2, K3 and K4 visa applications may call two numbers.

“When calling from the Philippines, the Philippines Visa Information Services number is 1-909-101-7878 and it provides English and Filipino speaking services. The service is available to the public from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. There is a small fee for the use of the 909 service, $0.98 per minute,” the embassy said.

“When calling from the U.S., the United States Visa Information Service number is 1-888-877-9888. Operators speak English and Filipino. The fee is $18, payable using a Visa or MasterCard, and entitles the caller to three calls of any length,” it added.

The new scheduling procedure for K visa applicants -- which also provides rescheduling appointments for all other kinds of immigrant visas -- seeks to improve immigrant visa services and to make it easier for applicants to get an appointment.

When calling for an appointment, the embassy advises applicants or their representatives to have the applicant’s Immigrant Case Number, found on the embassy notification letter, when they call to schedule an appointment.

It also says applicants who need to reschedule their appointments should call at least 24 hours in advance.

“Applicants for all other kinds of immigrant visas may call the same number if they need to reschedule an appointment with the US embassy if there is no medical examination pending,” the embassy said.

Immigrant and fiancé visa cases scheduled for an interview is available and regularly updated at http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3023.html, while applicants may download the visa appointment packet and forms at http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3023.html.
