US Embassy/US Visa (Thread 9)

[marose17]

@k_heart and theflygirl,  Aside from your passport, proof of payment of MRV fee and printed confirmation of the application, did you bring other documents with you during your VRP appointment? 

In my printed confirmation, it only said that I must bring my confirmation page and passport.

Better din siguro if I bring proof of income and economic ties to the Philippines, ano?  Just to be on the safe side.

^wala na akong iba dala bukod sa ID. kasi nakalimutan ko, weekend na ng maalala ko na monday pala VRP sked, kaya too late na magdala ng bank cert, etc. madali lang yung process. pila sa labas, then may ibibigay na paper na maliit lalagyan nyo lang ng data ng passports. pila sa loob ng gate,iveverify lang yung mga passports and printed papers ay complete. tapos pila uli ng ibang lane then papasok na.security check tapos  pila uli, check uli ng documents tapos bibigyan ng number. tapos punta sa kabila side ng bigayan ng number then pauupuin sa labas ng building. tapos tatawagin uli yung batch numbers para papasok naman sa building. sa building, guide kayo ng pinoy where to sit and where to fall in line para sa mini-interview ng nakalagay sa data sheet nyo. after, upo uli, wait for number to flash. pag matagal, ask uli yung pinoy na nagguide kung 1 hour na wala pa rin. hehe. tapos pag nagflash, mag finger scan na. tapos na. 2-3 hours ang buo process.

dala ka lang ng pamaypay and payong kasi mainit sa labas, ballpen. bawal electronics, and malalaking perfume bottles.

[marose17]

^ Oh, thanks for the information.   Madali lang pala!  Sana ganyan din kabilis and hassle-free ang process for me and my mom.

[k_heart]

^^Hi sis Marose, yes, no need na to bring anything except what the US Embassy  has  stated in the net.
But yes, just like you, nagdala pa rin ako ng certificate of employment with compensation, ITR  or such, just to be on the safe side.Although hindi na talaga hiningi. : )
 

[marose17]

^ Thanks sis!  I have set our appointment na for November 9.  Wish us luck!  Sana walang hassle at tanong-tanong.  Mabilis ma-rattle ang mommy ko kasi.  Anyway, confident naman ako sa mga previous trips namin, sa case ko, laging 3 weeks lang in my previous US trips.   Sa mommy ko, pinakamatagal lang ay 5 months pero mas madalas 1-2 months lang siya.  Mas madalas kasi ang travel niya kesa sa akin and always naman, bumabalik siya before 6 months.

[k_heart]

^Goodluck sis Marose and also to your mom! Wag kamo masyado kabahan kasi mga Pinoys din ang magiintervie, and for clarification purposes lang! : )
Yung mga questions, yung regarding lang kung ano sinubmit. Like longest stay sa US,etc.
Uy same tayo sis, ako din, lging 3 weeks lang,longest is 1 month.
Carryng carry nyo yan sis! : )

[theflygirl]

@marose17-no other docs needed. Good luck! Mine took 45 mins Lang the whole thing. I stayed in the US for almost a year nga before (on another visa type), was asked a question about it Lang then finished!

[dBum]

question po, kapag nagbayad na ba ng MRV at di nag-submit ng form, pwede kaya ipa-transfer yon?

yun brother ko kase ayaw ituloy yun application nya. pero syempre tig isa kame ng binayaran. so sa kanya nakapangalan yun isa. since denied ako last month, plan ko na lang gamitin yun binayaran nya. is there any ways pwede yon i-transfer saken?

[theflygirl]

^When did you pay for MRV? As far as I know, it's not transferable cos the applicant's passport number is on the receipt.

[rebelheart]

hi mga sis! question lang po. i made the MRV payment at BPI today. deposit slip lang ba talaga yun and yun na lang ba ang iaattach sa application form? akala ko kasi may mga form ek-ek pa na ifi-fill out sa bpi. di ko alam kung nasa right track ako. hehe.. paranoid lang.

[marose17]

^ Yes, deposit slip lang siya. 

[dBum]

@theflygirl last august pa. sayang kung di na pwede. or kung maisipan nya kaya gamitin yon, pwede pa kahit di pa sya nag fill up? kase kung hindi, goodbye 6k na sya.

[sdee]

pajoin mga sis, if ever kukuha ka ng visa and yun reason mo is to have your honeymoon doon mas mabilis ba mkakuha ng visa pag gnun?

[greyzie]

^^ sis, maybe it's best if call mo hotline and ask if transferable yung mrv fee, wala namang mawawala. tapos, if hindi talaga pwede, your brother has a year to decide kasi one year ang validity ng fee.

[dBum]

@greyzie, actually naisip ko rin tumawag. hihi nagbabakasakali lang ako na baka meron dito may naging ganong kaso. thanks so much!!!!

[theflygirl]

^Can be used later on kasi 1 year valid naman.

[princess27]

hi there,

may problem lang ako. kase namisplace ko yung deposit slip ko. ia-ask ko sana kung hinahanap pa ba yun ngayon kase dati, parang month of feb ako nagpa-interview, hinanap, pero ngyon naman parang di na sya kasama sa list of documents na kailangang dalhin. itatanong ko sana dun sa mga nagpainterview lang recently, kase wala talaga akong mapaghanapan, e pano nga kung nawawala e dba, may schedule na naman ako at bago ka magpasked e talgang confirmed na yung binayad mo. and unlike before, yung receipt number mo ngyon is the same as your passport number din dba.

hope may makasagot.

[k_heart]

^Yes sis,hindi na sya hinahanap or kailangan  pag punta sa US Embassy for interview.

[mrs. sweet]

Do I need to make a photocopy of all the docs I will bring?

[k_heart]

^sis what docus yan? 1st application yan sis right and not VRP?
