episode 109: Med Exam & Visa Interview Schedule
01.27.2007 - I received a package from the U.S. Embassy containing the schedule for my Medical Exam and Visa Interview. The letter was dated 01.19.2007. It says that my Medical Exam appointment is on 03.22.2007 at 7AM and my Visa Interview appointment is on 03.29.2007 at 7AM. My case# (for my refence only) is MNL2006825040. The Medical Exam will cost $95 while the Visa Processing will cost $100.
The package also contains:
a. Final list of documents you need to bring for the visa interview for K1/K2 applicants. There are a couple of additional requirements on this list that was not listed on the earlier list like CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage), Proof of Genuine Engagement, Proof of Termination of Marraige (for you and your petitioner) etc.
b. Medical Examination Instructions for Immigrant, K and V Visa Applicants.
c. Vaccination Requirements for K Visa Applicants. It is not required for K1/K2 Visa Applicants to get the vaccination before entering U.S. But once you file for change of status from a non-immigrant to a permanent resident (green card holder), USCIS will require you to comply with the vaccination requirement before they finalize the adjustment of your status in the U.S. A decision to grant a waiver of the vaccination requirement will only be made at the time an adjustment of status is filed and reviewed by the USCIS.
d. DS-156 Non-immigrant Visa Application forms.
e. DS-157 Supplemental Non-immigrant Visa Application forms.
f. DS-156K Non-immigrant Fiance Visa Application forms.
My heart was palpitating real fast while I was opening the package and reading the contents. I guess it's a mix of excitement and a realization that we are actually going through this process of making everything final. Part of me was a bit scared too. What if we get denied the visa? Then what? But I can't think of any solid reason why they might deny us the visa. So I guess I'll just have to be confident during the interview. Thank God that I have already experienced the process of getting a U.S. Tourist Visa thrice before. I think I would be more nervous if this is going to be the first time I'd enter the U.S. Embassy and line up for an interview while watching some of the people before me get denied.
