PhilippinesLate registration on Birth Certificate
hello guys!

i was reading a thread on wrong spelling of the name in the BC, when vsmtghdy replied that being if you were on a late registration, you will be put into AR.

quoting his reply:
"There are applicants who were placed on AR for weeks due to problems with BC (late registration, disrepancy with names, etc..)."

IS THIS TRUE??? any experience of being interviewed with a late registration BC and were put into AR?

hoping for your reply soon.

thanks in advance!

PhilippinesForm I-134 Affidavit of Support Questions
hello everyone!

we are already preparing our documents for my interview in the next few months. i'm sure that these questions were already answered from previous threads. i just want to hear some answers from the couples who filed in the US Embassy in Manila. just some questions on the Affidavit of Support:

1. Is it ok to put a blank or $0.00 on the amount deposited in the bank? As well as for the Life Insurance? Is it ok to leave it blank or put $0.00?
2. On Question 11, do we need to check the INTEND BOX and then put at the lines below "N/A (K1 Visa process for permanent residence)" or we just put this statement: "All expenses including but not limited to her visa expenses, airline tickets, lodging, boarding, food, incidental expenses and other kind of expenses."

PLEASE HELP US coz we are so confused... especially for those who have experienced this already....

THANKS A LOT and God bless us all....

PhilippinesGetting Packet 4 from SLEC
hello my dear VJers! kicking.gif

i just called SLEC a while ago and asked them the following questions and their answers are below each question:

1. what if i haven't received yet my packet 4 and my medical appointment is very soon according to the on-line?
SLEC: you can bring your printed out copy from the on-line services of the embassy. your medical appointment should be 2 weeks before the interview date. and you cannot come weeks before for advance medical becoz we are avoiding the SLEC to become crowded.

2. can i get my packet 4 from SLEC? how will I do that and how long will it take?
SLEC: sure, you can get your packet 4 here in SLEC from the US embassy. just fill up a request form during your medical exam and come back once your packet 4 is ready for pick-up. however, we don't know how long will it take for your packet 4 to arrive here.

now, my questions are:

i want to get my packet 4 from SLEC coz my packet and appointment letter might not arrive in our province coz the courier might not find our address in the subdivision. if i request to get my packet in SLEC, how long does it take from the time you requested up to time you get your packet in SLEC? will this be enough before the interview?

and worst case, what if my packet did not arrive in SLEC and in my address, can i use the printed out copy?

can i still have early medical? like 3 weeks before my interview date?


for those who have experienced this, please, i need your response.

thanks a lot po!!!

God bless us all!

thanks a lot!!

Normally the end of Feburary or first part of March.


if that's so, therefore, if i will be interviewed by january or february, then, the poverty guidelines that will be followed for me will the 2007 guidelines?

am i correct?

PhilippinesEdited Photo in the Passport
hello VJers. im here to ask about my friend's case.

her picture was edited in the photoshop and a little bit different from her entire physical appearance. but she haven't used her passport yet that's why she doesn't know if it will be ok to the POE abroad.

what are your suggestions for her? should she get a new passport? or just leave it as it is.

replies will be highly appreciated.

thanks a lot!!

hello my VJ Family! For those who were already interviewed, I have 3 questions to you guys:

1. Can I use a paste, glue or stapler to attach our photo to the DS Form 156? And sign them first at the back? What's the best thing to do? Should I attach the picture beforehand?

2. For the pictures of evidence of meeting in person, can I use paste, glue, stapler or scoth tape to arrange the pictures in a bond paper?

3. Can I print my DS Forms in an A4 sized paper?

Your replies are highly appreciated!

PhilippinesAffidavit of Support Papers
hello my vj family. we printed our form i-134 or the affidavit of support form in an A4 size paper which is a little bigger than the normal letter sized (8 1/2" x 11")/short bond paper. will this be ok? i hope this won't cause a problem coz there is NO printed document even in the packet 4 and the us embassy website on what size of paper should we use for this document. any comments pls?

also, one more thing that really bothers me. i've read somewhere that the affidavit of support doc should be printed back to back. how true is this? coz we printed ours in 2 sheets that is why we are so worried this time. my fiance spent a lot for this form. wwhhheeeewww...

comments pls for those who experienced this one..

Now, my question is, should my fiance, the petitioner, sign/put his signature at the side of the First Page/Sheet of the document? He only signed at the signature area at the 2nd Page/Sheet.

Replies are highly appreciated!
