Manila US Embassy Phone Number Change

2019-11-20 by Dave Starr Leave a Comment

US Embassy PhoneNumberIn case you are not aware, the Manila U.S. Embassy’s phone number changed recently.

It is now: 02-5-301-2000.

The sneaky 5 was added.

The Social Security office can also be reached at that number.

When the recording starts, press 9. Social Security only takes calls on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8am to 11am.

Thanks and a tip of the hat to the folks at RAO Subic Bay.

Also, and a further tip of the hat to reader Lewis:

Anyway, I called the U.S. Embassy (today, Dec. 9, 2019), to get the numbers for the Visa Call Center, and the numbers given in the recording are not complete/correct. I called the embassy mainline, got the operator and got the correct numbers. Please take note:

02-8548-8223
02-7792-8988

Help With Getting Her Visa — Rapid Visa

(updated 12 November 2019)

OK, time to talk turkey here (after all, it’s now close to Thanksgiving, isn’t it?).

Query after query come to me here, and via email, about help in getting their Filipino friends, especially Pinay girlfriends, US B-2 Visitor Visas to enter the United States.

Normally this is a situation where I just can’t offer much hope.  It’s difficult, indeed, for a single, marriage-eligible female Philippine citizen to get a US Tourist visa.

But There Is Some Hope For Those Who Feel They Can’t Make The Grade
