US Embassy/US Visa (Thread 9)

[red_one]

My first sched was oct 4.. Tapos ayon no show nga..how did you process it sis?.. I tried rescheduling it kaso pag enter ko ng receipt number hindi nya inaacept.. do i need to call sa hotline again?

nung nag-sked for nov. 14 online ko sya ginawa. pero pede din naman tawag na lang, mabilis ka naman nila ma-aassist eh. i tried din kasi by calling sa hotline, yun nga lang di na pala ako pede magpare-sked kasi na 3 na me.

I made my appointment online last Oct. 2. The first available schedule was for Oct7 but I opted to get the oct11 schedule. They were all for 9am. Last Tuesday I called up the hotline to ask if it's possible for them to view other available dates(you cannot reschedule without canceling your existing appointment first). I just made general inquiries. The dates presented to me online were all for VRP only. Kaya din maraming dates available in a matter of days lang. The hotline agent also said if you reschedule beyond 3 times, you might need to pay another MRV fee.

[red_one]

^ oo nga sis, magbabayad uli. kaya ok na ako sa nov. 14, kasi parang nakakapanghinayang naman if im going to pay again, then eventually madedenied ako. kaya dun na ako sa nov. 14

[theflygirl]

^ya! Sayang yung USD140 mo...I remember my mom a few years back nung USD100 pa lang yung MRV fee, paid for two applications. They gave her the ds forms. And forgot all about it na. More than a year! So parang bumili Lang sya Ng 2 sheets of paper worth $200 haha

i have h4 visa pero di ko pa nagamit. change of plan kasi. kung mag-apply ako ng tourist visa hindi ba ma-revoke yung h4 ko?

[glacy_rein]

theflygirl you said oct 2 nasched ka.. that's a sunday.. nagiisched sila ng weekends? thanks!

[k_heart]

^Sis, according to sis theflygirl, October 2 sya kumuha ng schedule, not October 2 yung Schedule nya. Walang Saturday,Sunday at US and Phlippine Holidays na sked for interviews.

[k_heart]

Naremember ko before ( a couple of years ago)  yung Sked for interview na nakuha ko for my hubby  and kids ay holiday pero pumatak yata sya Monday. Then, sa computer kasi valid,tala
gang may sked. Hindi pa naman akp nakatulog buong gabi as in hindi talaga ako natulog kasi kinakabahan ako for my hubby. So 4am, finally, bumangon na kami and made our way to US Embassy ng around 5: 30am. Naka Sundays best na dresses pa mga kids ko, he!he!he!Around 6:30 am, andun na kami sa embassy. And in fairness,madami dami kami. Computer Glitch pala, walang schedule for that day dahil holiday.Wahhhhhh, sayang ang pagistressed ko sa sarili ko. We were advised to go back the next day, and syempre repeat ulit ang di ko pagtulog at pag gising ng maaga. Good thing, nakakuha lahat sila ng Visa. Hay, i really hate the hassle.

[k_heart]

thanks k_heart eh how about yung possible reasons why nadedeny???

Sis, usually ang sinasabi ng embassy, walang strong family ties sa Philippines. Yung something, na  babalikan mo sa Pilipinas at hindi magiging candidate for TNT ang isang applicant. Another reason is kung carry financially. At sometimes naman, may topak lang ang consul. Parang medyo minalas lang ang applicant kahit lahat naman ng requirements ay nasa kanya na.

[glacy_rein]

^sorry namisunderstood ko lang pala. hahahaha!


kung carry financially? pano yun?

ano ba yan kinakabahan tuloy ako lalo! hahahaha! i mean baka ma-deny ako ng ganun ganun lang... waaaah! pero strong ang family ties ko dito sa pinas if ever kasi wala naman akong kamag-anak dun.. family friend lang [textspeak!] tita ko na pupuntahan dun.

sayang nga lang sis

[theflygirl]

@k_heart-Thanks. Haha.

^True!! They renewed last Nov and got 10yr visas. Sayang din the money ano? My dad has had a couple of US visas/trips prior to that (and after our A2 visas, nung uso pa multiple indefinite) & he has an existing petition pa at that ha(which we should reply to na, deadline this month, after almost 2 decades of processing!!!). My mom's previous US visa was our A2 din, but she travels almost yearly to Australia & Europe naman. We were apprehensive to apply for their tourist visas because of the said petition but my dad said super quick Lang interview nila ni mom. He was just asked, "how long have you been married?"...to which he jokingly replied, "too long..." harhar

[mrs. sweet]

been trying to get a sked for interview since last night, but all the dates are not highlighted. then may note na nov. 24 is not available for interview. try scrolling till 2013, ganun lahat. d makapili ng date. system error or may mali ako? na-enter ko na lahat ng details needed, sa tingin ko tama naman

[theflygirl]

^Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Nov. 24 is Thanksgiving Day so it's a big US holiday. Don't know about the other blocked dates, though. Have you tried checking their appointment calendar again?

[mrs. sweet]

tried just now, still the same

[red_one]

tried just now, still the same

why don't you try to call muna sis, para at least you can ask bakit yung lumalabas

[mrs. sweet]

holiday ngayon sa kanila, Columbus Day

[theflygirl]

Try calling tomorrow if online still doesn't work today. I was gonna call this morning & ask a question and I forgot it's a holiday.  I'm all set for my 9am appointment tomorrow.

[mrs. sweet]

^my applications won't be cancelled naman siguro ano, with tons of tries from scheduling an interview?
