Congrats xylide for ur baby's CRBA approval.

Sabihin mo sa hubby mo wag sya matakot about his passport..nung una fiancee ko natakot din na baka mawala passport nya..pero hndi nman..pinadala nya sa DHL,yun ang pinass ko sa ACS yung original passport nya at notarize copy,pati voter's card nya,diploma,college transcript,pay stubs nya,Employment record pati yung tuition statement nya noon nung nag-enroll sya,W2,ITR,Tax transcripts,Military records and Army history of assignments nya for proof of 5 years Physical Presence in the U.S. kaya wala na hinanap sa akin ang consul na nag-interview sa akin.

I-pass mo na yung hinihingi pa sayo na proof para i-process na nila Passport anak mo kasi papadala pa nila sa Department of State,Washington yung application form for U.S. Passport ng anak mo...sa Washington pa kasi manggagaling yung passport eh kaya it takes 2 to 3weeks.


almost 5 years nman plasi ubby mo s army kaya hdi n maghanap p ng iba, ung pinass ko lng tlga kasi military records, showing na almost 3 1/2 years plang sya nung nagconceive ako kya ayun pinagpapass pa ako ng iba.. sabagay pwede nman siguro ipadala ng hubby ko passport nya kasi hdi nman sya aalis ng states hanggang makadating kami dun kaya hdi nya kailangan ang passport nya...

proof of his presence in US for 5 years.. ung military record nya kasi shows that he's been in service for 3 1/2 years plang kaya kulang p daw ng 1 1/2 so sabi ung high school transcript nlng daw then its ok kya lng hdi naman alam ng hubby ko kung nsan n transcript nya..so im thinking f his high diploma will be ok... tsaka passport daw...as in buong passport notarized pa, kung hindi ko daw mapapakita ung original????

hi guys! were home now... from my daughter's CRBA interview!! biggrin.gif
so here goes the story..hehehehe we left here in Cabanatuan 5am and exactly 830 we got into ACS and waiting for our name to be called...my baby was so talkative that she got all the attentions of all the people inside the area and they liked her hairdo..hehe i intentionally did not clip her hair so she will look like whats on her picture i passed... happy.gif our name was called exactly 9:00 and with the pre-screening,thank god it went smooth...i think i was just a little nervous coz he was asking some papers and i was like "momy where is the envelop?" ooooo im with my mom,she was holding lizzy for me hehehe... the guy asked for pictures but i said its in the album i brought and its big that cant fit in the window so he just said that keep it and just show it to the consul later.. he just asked me few things like when we got married? he left right after we got married???? where is his assignment and i said he's in Colorado and been in the service for 4 years now.. then he told us to sit down in the waiting area and wait for our name to be called again.... so while waiting,he got a chance to minggle with other applicants there and i saw Antonio Aquitaña! tag team of Wendell Ramos??hehehe if u know them..

1030 our named was called again and the nice lady greeted us and i say hello and she saw my baby and she was like " hi baby, ur so cute!" (i told my baby to keep talking to get the lady's attention ... biggrin.gif) and the interview went fine and okay and asked the same question plus on how we met?has he been ot of the country? and more on the relationship and involves...

but due to lack of evidence of my husband's presence in the states, she asked me to send some documents again and once i did we will get her CRBA and passport in 2 or 3 weeks...

so was it an approved????

anywho, i would like to thank all the sis who helped me with this.... so right now im just waiting for my case to be completed and soon prepare again for an interview...and i guess much more tension....Ü




Congratulations!!!!! Ang cute ng baby mo.... You have a beautiful family.

as long as you have submitted all necessary documents they've asked, then there's no need to worry about getting an RFE. once they recieve it and they see no reason to issue an RFE, they will enter the infos to their system. i'd say expect an approvel within 1-2weeks time..isn't it great knowing you're ALMOST done? lol... star_smile.gif


it is!! and so excited to be home... happy.gif how bout the ds230?i read some of members got RFE from their ds230 like they left some infos blank..

my daughter's birth cert. doesnt have my hubby's signature.. at first i was confused too but the CO didnt questioned that coz i think were already married so its ok if hubby didnt sign it... i hope it did help even a little .. biggrin.gif


it actually helped a lot! so i guess i won't send it to my husband anymore. waaahh i dunno.

sabi din nung officer sa mom ko na hindi na kailangan ipa-sign sa daddy kasi nga kasal na naman kami. at madami din dun anak ng USC na hindi na nisisign ng daddy yung birth cert. tongue.gif

ang gulo haha

siguro di ko na lang ipa-sign para maprocess na yung early endorsement.


yup.. wag m n pasign para maayos early endorsement, ang alm ko ung mga nagsisign lng dun ung mga babies out of wedlock..



yun nga din sabi sakin eh. tsaka nabasa ko. babies born out of wedlock need to have the BC signed para iacknowledge nung father. sige sige. ipapaayos ko na. kasi 5 days pa bibilangin bago magawan ng early endorsement eh. sad.gif ang tagal! hehe tongue.gif

Do what the US embassy tells you to do.


i guess i'd give them a call to clarify everything. all they ask is a copy of the baby's BC issued by the NSO. not stating that it has to be acknowledge by the USC father. smile.gif


yup paayos m n agad kasi pagreceive ng ACS-FEDEX ng paperworks m it will take couple of days to a week bago sila tumawag for interview, then 2 weeks or so naman ung interview from the day tumawag sila kaya matagal tlga... and tell ur hubby to send everything na need m sa interview..mahirap na..

For anyone that works for the US Army as I do you can take the Rosetta Stone Tagalog course online free. Soldiers too. You just need a AKO account.

For me it's just a matter of taking the time and having the discipline to start.


how to get that? my hubby really wants to learn tagalog and he's planning to get that Rosetta Stone... he is in the army, so where can he get that AKO account?


Probably he knows.. they can have an AKO account since he is in duty.. But for a civilian like we need to have a sponsor (retired from the military).. I am not that sure, but heard about it.


what was that AKO account,just asking...Ü

It's better to use a balikbayan box with a balikbayan bag.

Robinson's Handyman:

Balikbayan Box - P99
Balikbayan Bag - P450

Why?

A balikbayan box has more space.

An empty piece of luggage is already heavy. Considering that you will have a limited weight allowance, the balikbayan box is more practical.

hi, we were also given that paper, and they were asking for physical presence in the same location during my baby's conception ... the consul told us to get hubbys arrival record from the bureau of immigration.. he lost his old passport too..
after getting his records from BI we submitted it after a week through a courier..

according to ACS we have 90 days to submit additional docs otherwise we will have to do it again..

in your case i think you can do it again with the help of your mum. i dont think they will ask u for DNA, because they would have requested that before...

just comply what they were asking you,, prepare his domicile records ...

i hope sophia can get her US passport done so u guys can be together.. good.gif


hi sis.. is it really true that its only 90 days to submit all additional docs? coz im still waiting for my husband's add'l docs and we had my baby's interview lst sept.5 and the CO told me that her CRBA and passport are okay and i can pass the add'l docs anytime but did not tell me how many weeks allowed..
