PhilippinesPOE questions
QUOTE (Francis Rohan @ Aug 3 2008, 09:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I will be flying to the U.S next month and am curious about what exactly the immigration people are requiring upon arrival?
I've read where other immigrants are not having to foward their x-ray whereas Filippina are?

What was required by immigration when you arrived at your POE?

Thanks for your insights. good.gif


just basic things from the packet..
mostly verifying information..
you'll be fine..
goodluck..

i would just like to remind you that they're not only verifying NSO documents..
but even NBI, police clearances, gov docs or legal docs that you submit to them at the interview.. yes.gif
this is to make sure no one is submitting fake documents.. yes.gif
that is what they told me at USEM before.. blush.gif

I wasn't given the white slip for document verification, just the pink slip. I assume this is because I paid the DV like a month ago. I texted delbros regarding the status of my visa/passport delivery but I received no reply. I tried contacting them to no avail.

I texted "tracking number status" to the delbros SMS hotline but I haven't received a reply in two days. What is the best way to contact them?


the text hotline is system generated for deliveries.. sorry but dnt expect a reply..
they just say txt that number for inquiries since they stopped entertaining calls..
but that truth is.. they dont wanna be bothered by so many people's inquiries..
bulok na sistema.. mad.gif sad but true.. sad.gif
i wish you'll receive a good news soon tho.. blush.gif

Diosdado Banatao, a native of Iguig, Cagayan and an electrical engineering graduate from Mapua Institute of Technology in Manila is credited for eight major contributions to the Information Technology. Banatao is most known for introducing the first single-chip graphical user interface accelerator that made computers work a lot faster and for helping develop the Ethernet controller chip that made Internet possible. In 1989, he pioneered the local bus concept for personal computers and in the following year developed the First Windows accelerator chip. Intel is now using the chips and technologies developed by Banatao. He now runs his own semiconductor company, Mostron and Chips & Technology, which is based in California's Silicon Valley.

"After passing the bar, he went back to the U.P. College of Law where he earned an LL.B in 1946. He traveled to the U.S. when he won a scholarship to attend Harvard for his master's degree. Recommended by Harvard professor Manley Hudson to Yale Law School, he was awarded a fellowship at Yale University where he earned a doctorate (JSD) in 1949. He however turned down their offer of a faculty position because he felt he should participate in his country's post-war reconstruction. He was honored with the Ambrose Gherini prize for writing the best paper in international law."

PhilippinesNBI lack of thumb print issue
QUOTE (ninjarocket @ Aug 7 2008, 02:56 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
just about to mail off my wifes NBI clearances with the DS-230

she got two from two different places

however, I notice it says in small print in the corner that it's not valid without the thumbprint, but the thumbprint is blank!!!

is this normal for them to omit this, or was my wife expected to add the thumbprint herself after leaving the NBI place? that would seem silly to me because then anyones thumbprint could be added!!!


maybe she forgot to do her thumbprints during claiming of her NBI..
cos after u claim ur NBI there would be a last step..
and that's where u do ur thumbprints..
but she can still do it by herself.. good.gif

PhilippinesNeed Some Advice For My Fiancee and I She is 17
QUOTE (jom @ Jul 30 2008, 01:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You are right that the marriage will take place in the USA and here a person aged 17 has the legal capacity to marry. I do have doubts because when you will file the I-129, it is required that both of you must have the legal capacity to get married.We are not talking about the act of getting married here but the time that you will be filing your petition she will still be under Philippine jurisdiction and if you think about it, at the time of filing she has no legal capacity to get married considering that she is still a minor. Or maybe I could be wrong.

If you can't wait , file and see what happens. If you are not in a rush then why not wait until she is 18 before filing the petition? In my opinion , a 17 year old "girl" is not mature enough to handle the marital responsibilitites and obligations, let alone that she will be in a foreign country. Although she has relatives here, she will be living with you, not with them and that alone is a very big adjustment. But maybe I am wrong since every person is different and she will do just fine.I was 38 years old when I arrived here and it was a big adjustment for me even if I have been outside the Philippines many times before I married my USC husband.

Either way, I wish you all the luck and hopefully everything will work out fine for you and your fiancee.

File it and see what happens. I hope you are both emotionally prepared for how long and difficult this journey can be and then the grueling adjustment process that follows. At 18, I was no where close to being ready for something like this.

I wish you luck.
